Here is what should be done:
1. Bench Rodney Hood.
He's been sucking it up and not shooting that well except for every now and then. And sometimes, like last night, he can shoot well (4-5 80%) but have a -17 while on the court. Try benching Hood and see if this motivates him to play like he did toward the end of last season.
2. Feed the hot hand till it can't produce anymore.
It seems to be common trend that someone gets hot and then we stop going to him. The two games that stick out the most to me is when Hayward scored 16 points in the first quarter against Orlando and last night when Favors had a monster third quarter but only one shot in the fourth.
In the Orlando game, Hayward could have easily had over 20 points with how hot he was, but they kept trying to run different plays for other people. If he's making everything he shoots, I say keep going through him until he cools off. Same goes for Favors.
3. Attempt to make Burks the go to guy in crunch time.
Hayward is not cutting it. He's had like 3 years now and I don't ever see him becoming a go to guy. Since we are still developing, I say try developing Burks into the go to guy for an extended periods of games. He seems to be the guy with most potential (aside from Exum) to become a go to guy.
