What's new

Getting diddled by Hayward: a game thread

He's in a bad funk, 10 for his last 40 or something.
i'm allin for offloading him in the summer. great player but he's simply a luxury that we cannot afford at the moment(he will make more each year on his current deal). we are having so many "scoring specialists" on this team right now that it is hurting this team.
 
I'm not watching the game. I'm just checking the box score every once in a while. What's going on with Gobert? 4 points, 2 rebounds...
 
Gobert just seems out of it completely. Defense has been bad. Not going after rebounds. Hell even just a dozen games ago that layup by Tatum would have been knocked into the cheap seats.

gobert's struggle will continue as long as teams continue targeting our perimeter defense. just draw him out of the painted area then he's just average. we don't have the perimeter defenders to stay in front to punish teams for doing so. rudy had no choice but to come out and help, resulting in loss of energy, confidence, as well as trust in his teammates since everyone relied on him to bail them out all season.
 
Not looking for Gobert underneath and he's been open several times. Last couple of plays he coasted on D and they're getting layups. Rudy sulking is going to result in us losing, but I get his attitude.

People are missing him wide open under the basket. We've been spoiled for the last several years that he's given it his all on defense even when he doesn't touch the ball for long stretches.
 
Is Rudy pouting? Like wtf. I've seen a lot of clips of him not even trying to contest on defense recently and having terrible body language on offense.

He needs to realize that he doesn't deserve the ball every time. He doesn't finish it every time. Getting him the ball isn't easy every time. Stop whining Gobert. Play defense.

Let's see if Ingles can do anything. For all the complaining about Conley, Ingles has been useless for a while.
