Jazz Coach eager to Get Ball Rolling

Laughed at the part where Millsap said Corbin is probably in his office sweating right now, as well as the article pointing out that his assistants poke fun at his propensity to sweat. He really seems like the guy though, and I have faith in Lowe, Hornacek and Layden as well. This season shall be an exciting one, to say the least.
 
I liked the typo "champing". Instead of "chomping at the bit". Booyah. We're going to the playoffs.

The punctuation was all wrong; I fixed it.

I am a Miles apologist so take this with a grain of salt, and feel free to ridicule me. CJ took an astounding number of shots last year from 16 -24 seconds on the clock, and 20% of his shots came from 21+ (82games). Our second unit last year had no scorers whatsoever. His numbers from 0 to 16 averaged out to like 51%. So I don't think CJ's problem was taking bad shots, his problem was having to take all the shots at the end of the clock for our futile offense on the second unit.

CJ's problem isn't bad shots. His problem is he gets into funks. But now, as he turns 25, he has to show that he can shake off bad games and play to his ability. Jazz fans are tired of CJ and I get that. But he's going to change a lot of minds this year.

Nice sell, I'm deciding if I want to give CJ another chance.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me thrice I'm an idiot, fool me four times I'm definitely a moran.

Champing is correct and chomping is actually incorrect.

2011–12 26.1 .389 .304

This doesn't give me a lot of confidence in CJ.
 
CJ said he dropped his weight down to his early days with the Jazz. Maybe less weight = better shooting for him?

Wait, is that a prediction for 2011-12 or are you from the future?
Biff, did you steal McFly's almanac?
 
I think CJ's percentages have to improve this year. He isn't a great shooter, but he isn't a sub 40% FG either.

Well, I learned something new today. It looks like both versions are permissible, "chomping..." being a derivation of the earlier "champing..."

But, I grew up in the region in which this article was published, and I've never seen it before. So, I prefer my naively imagined scenario. Many thanks, however, for the wisdom.

This is actually fascinating. I tend to agree many people here tend to overlook the last-seconds-in-the-shotclock shots CJ threw up last year. He shot nearly 50% of his shots in 16+ seconds into the shotclock. All our other wings were at 36-40% of their shots in that time range. He likely did it, as you suggest, because nobody else on the team could create their own shot as effectively. Unfortunately, he did shoot at a rather poor percentage in these end-of-the-shotclock situations (as did AK). Hayward didn't shoot as many, but made these shots at a very high percentage (Raja wasn't all that bad, amazingly enough).

Last year, at least, you wanted Hayward shooting at any time other than 10-15 seconds into the shotclock (near 40% then, but well over 50% at every other time), while AK and CJ were the best at 10-15 seconds into the shotclock.
