Here’s an honest question: has Rodney Hood peaked? Hood’s already 24. In NBA terms, that basically means that he’s only going to get worse from here on out. If he gets lucky, maybe he’ll maintain his 15 ppg for a few years until his aging body can no longer handles the minutes being forced upon…

Rodney Hood 25 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2016)
Rodney Hood has reached an exciting new stage of development: the one where he’s so good that you don’t even really notice when he scores 25 points. Wow! Jazz fans must be so happy. It’s good for Hood to get to that stage so quickly in his career. Many, many players never get there, and…

Soon after the crystal tendrils of Adam Silver’s hyper-evolved posthuman form had spread over my body and fully overwhelmed it, there was a brief period of darkness. I could feel my consciousness being transferred from my mortal human shell into the perplexing computer-like structure. All at once, I lost the feeling of gripping cold on…

In a way, it seems kind of profound. Rodney Hood hits his 8th three of the half after crossing up Kobe Bryant (playing in his final game in Utah), who then proceeds to trot down the court and chuck up a half-hearted airball from behind the arc. There is some symbolism here, I just know…

Do NBA players even care when they’re on national TV? Or did Rodney Hood just randomly decide that last night would be a good time to absolutely take a dump on LeBron and co.? If Hood wanted to build up his name recognition, scoring 28 points while being aired on ESPN would be a good…

How many times must I be subjected to some variation of the phrase “He’s only in his second year and he’s playing like a veteran” in reference to Rodney Hood? Since when is pump-faking and drawing a foul on a jump shot a “veteran move”? These Jazz commentators have such a hardon for this dude….

Rodney Hood: shooting guard of the future for the Jazz? Let’s take a look at the facts: -It is almost assured that he will still be alive in four or five years, which is the “future” as any accomplished chronomancer would tell you -The Jazz have his option or bird rights or something I don’t…

I didn’t think that I’d have the privilege of compiling any more Rodney Hood highlights this year, or ever. When he had that 4-of-17 game, I thought to myself “Well, that’s it. All good things must come to an end”. After a shockingly bad performance like that, I figured, as any sane person would, that…

Right now the Jazz are near the bottom of my “teams I actually want to watch sometimes” rankings. Gobert was their most compelling feature; he is dead now, dead and never coming back just like Dante Exum. Gordon Hayward is “eh”, and if he is your teams best player, you need to find a different…
