Haywards mid-range pull up is gone. He's not even close on his jumpers. It's getting to the point where there are concerns.

The Jazz went way too long with Alec out of the game. He's the only player creating offense right now.

 

[MHSL82]

Jazz lost this game because they had no one who could hit an outside shot. It wasn't necessarily the number of outside shots.

Elijah Millsap and Booker won't even take threes any more. Everyone else is missing them. Tough to win in today's NBA shooting what the Jazz are from behind the arc.

 

[MHSL82]

It seems crazy to suggest he's lacking confidence in anything, but Burks needs more confidence in his three point shot.

 

[MHSL82]

So is Tyler Johnson the reason they traded Mario Chalmers? He looks good.

Hayward had a good first quarter and not that good everywhere else.

 

[MHSL82]

Jazz down four with 20 seconds and Alec draws everyone to him with three guys open at the three point line and he gets blocked at the rim.

He's been great, but that was a bad decision.

 

[MHSL82]

Aftter a timeout the Jazz can't even get a three point attempt. Teams use the quick two, too often, in my opinion.

Can we get an offensive strategy please?

Jazz out of bounds plays aren't good.

 

[MHSL82]

Gobert is out and yet we still can't crack 90 points. Damn, our offense if tough to watch. Close games that we cannot close out are hard to watch as well if you have an expectations to win. If you're just watching to watch, than they're fun. Credit to Favors who really worked hard on both ends and showed up to carry the load.

When will our starting point guard make shots? All I'm asking for is one of three. Trey Burke when he was starting couldn't hit a shot. Exum in his rookie year could not hit a shot. Neto doesn't shoot much but he doesn't make them either. Two games in a row with no points. Not very minutes, though.

 

[MHSL82]

Booker's heart can't make up for 20% shooting. He's giving us little on offense and has not shown defensive awareness. We don't have a competent backup big and thats incredibly frustrating to watch. I don't expect the Jazz to win every game, but they're beating themselves right now. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, credit to the other team, too.)

 

[MHSL82]

To be fair to Gordon, I wouldn't say he played a bad game. He was making good plays. None of the Miami wing defenders could stay in front of him, he just couldn't hit a pull up shot all night. Hood and Hayward have to make open shots at some point...right? They were our best shooters last year.

 

[MHSL82]

It's getting really hard to justify the $7 million unused cap space. Team chemistry is great and all, but this smoke and mirrors rotation is getting ridiculous.

 

[MHSL82]

Our back court makes all kinds of back courts look good offensively. I think we would have won all three road games with Exum. We need him defensively. There is of course no way to tell.

Hi guys. Not a Jazz fan, but follow a bit due to owning Hayward in fantasy and following Alec Burks due to Colorado ties. What's the breakdown of Hayward's issues this year? He looks the part now, must have added 10-15 lbs of muscle maybe? But seems like his shot is off and he's not really being a playmaker and getting assists like previous year. Is this due to Burks being back from injury? Just an early season slump? Curious to your thoughts. Thanks

Favors has displaced Hayward as the dominant primordial beast on this team. Hayward has never been a great shooter. He doesn't seem to be getting to the line as much this year and his mid range has been off. I think his defense has been better this year though. I really never saw Hayward as a go to any way. The problem though is that as decent as Favors, Hayward, and Burkes are ... We still have no outside shooters and no ISO guy in crunch time

I agree with this. I call Hayward a sour shooter, not a sweet shooter.
