Am I missing something?  The guy is averaging 11 points a game in March?  I thought this was his season average...
It's called empathy and understanding context

His lift is definitely looking better, and he's not afraid to go into contact anymore. 12/13 from the free throw line, that's something our team desperately needs.

I think he's much more comfortable in where he fits in with this team and the team is much more comfortable with him - they're actually passing the ball to him now because they know he's unselfish and will make plays for other people. Months ago they just made him stand in the corner and be useless.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

For the playoffs, he doesn't have to play like 2017 Gordon Hayward.

The bar for him this postseason is 2014 Gordon Hayward.

Am I missing something, or is your sole purpose on this board to be really annoying? It seems as though you never add anything of substance. In fact, the only time you ever seem to post is when it's something negative about Hayward. Which not surprisingly seems to have faded as his game has improved.

I wish I could give 100 TP's, but alas I can only give 1

I think my question was answered in first half and it wasn't his sprint beating a smaller guard after a recovered block and the dunk but a few minutes later i saw a quick cut across the lane that didn't result in anything but i thought that looked to be an especially quick. burst.
Gordons final stage actually could pick up pace as all the pieces come together.A couple of weeks could just build on itself.
 I remember breakaways and hearing footsteps, Gordon didn't let them interfere last night.

I hate having Jalen out with at times a sharp pain in back, just when his shot is falling and he is aggressive getting to rim.

But it is beneficial for Gordon to get his minutes and shots.He has made giant strides in last two games in his aggressiveness and closing.

In my view getting Gordon right is more important than home court advantage.It certainly seems his teammates are giving him the greenlight and looking to keep him shooting
His three pointer from top of key, the form was a thing of beauty.They were saying he was shooting lights out in practice
When i watched the replay -it was OMG, did he go up nice.It was so simple, the mechanics so fluid yet precise, a very seductive shot one to remember.
That had to be the Gordon of Utah.

Hey thanks for yet another post where you clearly violate the terms of the site (by making personal attacks) and probably should have earned yourself a suspension. 

Also please allow me to apologize for bringing Gordon Hayward's March scoring average into a thread about Gordon Hayward's play in March - that seems to have been very hard for you to take.

I think if you would stop being so simple minded in your comments you'd less likely be criticized.  For example, ignoring that he was recovering from a sprain ankle the beginning of March, or sustained a concussion in the middle of the month; in fact the game he got the concussion he had just entered into, so that gets factored as zero points.  I find these type of comments on a Celtic blog site quite annoying and baiting.  Why don't you defend your comment rather than hiding behind the moderators?
