Great comment by Harp, wish I'd heard it. I don't know how many times I've uttered the same thing to myself.
I realize he can't say things like that on-air, but I wish he'd do more X and O's talk. He can convey that same feeling just by showing where some of the breakdowns are coming from.

Yes, Matt, we do have an offense. It's called pass the ball in to Al, have him get stopped once and throw it back out. Then pass it to him again, he fakes to his left, then turns back to his right towards the baseline, where he runs straight into a double-team and either truns the ball over, gets his shot block, or launches up a crazy attempt that has little chance of going in.
Congrats to Matt for calling it like it is. Language is a bit strong, but it's in the heat of the moment. Expect him to be punished by the Jazz org. If you're not a schill for the team like Locke or Brown, you'll eventually be silenced. Matt will probably be calling Hawks' games next year.

If only Boler would realize that you can look at the ref to see if it's a 3 point shot or not he would be a lot better. I've never seen a guy consistently get the 3 point shot wrong more than Boler.

This.
Locke yesterday morning was criticizing Corbin for running Foye off a double screen and taking a 21 footer instead of moving it to the 3 point line. Excellent overall interview. https://1280thezone.com/index.php/audio/listen/dj_pk_david_locke_on_the_utah_jazz4

Is that on Corbin, Foye, the screeners, or all 3 ? I doubt Corbing is setting up plays to get 21 foot jumpers. Players have to execute said plays.

...players have to have brains...to execute plays. Players concentrate on dunks and jailhouse tats.

Steve Brown? That guy can't get anything right.

I remember during the last New Orleans game, he kept calling Aminu Roger Mason. Never corrected. He was just Roger Mason the entire game.
Corbin, considering I wouldn't run a single catch and shoot play for Foye. The guy can't hit anything but threes.
It's a common play though & this is just Locke stat geeking. Sloan used to run these for D-Will a lot where he'd catch the ball toward the baseline. Williams ran them so much harder and used screens way better than anyone the Jazz currently have. This team is a hodge podge of garbage being dragged along by Al Jefferson.

If its true that jefferson is the only good player on this team then that is really sad and this team should probably be blown up.
I actually think the jazz have alot of talent however, so i disagree.

He's not the only good player, hes the only player with a skill that he does very very very well. Low post scoring. Favors will be an elite defender but he isnt there yet. Other than that ............ A bunch of averagesssssssssssssssss, this is not Ty's fault. Its not really anyones fault. The Jazz are doing the best they can with what they are. A mid market team that a lot of players in the nba dont want to play for. A vast majority of teams in the NBA are a bunch of averagessssssss. Heat, Thunder, Lakers, Spurs being the obvious exceptions.
The chances of the Jazz taking two HOF'ers ever again are pretty god damn slim, but that is the only way the Jazz get back to the Finals. Take the goggles off and thats what youll see.

A good low post scorer doesn't average 2,5 fta per game in 33 mpg. So its not that very very very well imo. Im not saying that he doesnt have moves, just saying he dont have that quickness to successfully perform it or end up at the ft line, so maybe thats why he prefers to stick with his 15 17 foot jump shot most of the time.
