23 more minutes of cardio and Gordon Hayward will break John Hummer’s record for most playoff minutes played without a point in a single postseason.

We’re playing Hayward on a sunk cost fallacy.
We thought he’d return to pre-injury form, he didn’t, and we keep giving him minutes that could either use a better player like Kenny or develop one of our other guys.
I keep hearing about his leadership, but point to where that’s adding points on the board. I like him too, but he just can’t play. He won’t even shoot, so that tells me it’s not even physical it’s a mental thing. When he’s on the court the other team knows they don’t even have to guard him which makes it harder for everyone else to get a bucket 4 v 5.
I think Mark should’ve told him a long time ago that he has to start taking shots, else it’s never going to come back. But if he’s too scared to even try, put Kenny in. He’s fought for us the entire year and averages better than what Hayward is giving us. He’s actually earned some playoff play time and he’s only gotten 4 minutes total.
So strange I didn’t think he’d be a major contributor but I thought he’d do….SOMETHING
Dieng is a developing player and the G League Finals MVP and is barely seeing playing time. Meanwhile Gordon Hayward is recording commercials for peloton every night with all that pointless cardio that he’s doing
