The worst thing about this game is that the lakers played horrible. Which only goes to show how we Played! Hopefully it is just opening day rust and jitters!

Yes I said the same thing several pages ago and it is still very very depressing to think about.

Howard looked like he wanted to play, as well. Kanter is weak in the flex. Afraid to pass down low, so the ball stagnates when it gets to him. Bell has no business getting the ball early in the shot clock, so he's not good in the flex. Harris is not a good floor general. He creates defenses lapses and needs players to play off him, so he's not good in the flex. Corbin wants to run off Jefferson in the post, which is good, but Jefferson HAS to be able to pass out of it, and players have to cut. Maybe the Jazz need to go to a 2-3 offense instead of 1-4 UCLA stuff.

Prediction: When the Jazz get blown out tomorrow, it's gonna suck a lot of our enthusiasm right out.

I hope it doesn't come true, but I have a feeling it will.

Unfortunately. Also, love how the only person to give me negative rep for my prediction was chitownjazz, the most negative guy on the board.

Isn't Jazz basketball fun?

It's been months since I've cursed at the TV. Damn you Jazz for ruining my night!

There we go that is a positive for the night, we all had the opportunity to yell and curse at our TV's, coincidentally yelling and cursing is better defense than the Jazz played most of the night.

This was my one complaint about Corbin last year is that he didn't seem to have a feel for substitutions. This is where a veteran assistant coach can help by telling him that maybe Jefferson should sit down because all that "work" he did in Santa Barbara isn't paying off.

I wouldn't have stopped at Jefferson. But I think Corbin's biggest issue is going to be figuring out how to install his offense. He has to mix in more basic basketball with the complexities of cuts. Get the wings involved. Play more 2 on 2. Stop trying to make every shot a product of the motion offense.

Yeah all that work is why he came into camp at 290 lbs, and no its not muscle.
 
Thriller has already neg repped me because I said this game would be easy without Bynum AND KOBE (I guess he missed the fact Kobe played today). I wasn't anticipating them losing two in a row before us though. I think they played really inspired defense against us.

To further the pain it seemed like Favors had a great first 6 minutes of the game, but we all missed it because the Boston Celtics couldn't accept defeat.
 
Welp that sucked. I blame the game thread myself :D At least there is a game tomorrow...though probably another loss.
 
Mods, please don't let chitownjazz make another game thread again. Ever.

I agree and I heard on his post game interview Corbin also blamed chitownjazz's poor game thread for the loss, saying it lacked creativity, adjustments, experience and there was much better options to be had if he could've waited and not jumped the gun. He also cleverly over used his new nick name he created by replacing the CH in SH

repped hard
 
wow, that was pathetic

but i think this team have a lot of potential, to bad that Ty is running this team.. this team need a very good coach witch Corbin maybe will be in a couple of years, but not now

1. start Howard - the only one who controlled his movement and decisions on the court
2. bench jefferson, maybe even don't start him a couple of games. Rotate 3 players - kanter, millsap, favours. Ok give Al 10 min ))
3. put tinsley behind harris
4. don't give Bell not just a minute - it's just a waist of time

Go Jazz!!!
