Random thoughts as I'm watching the Jazz Raptors game

As I witnessed one of the worst halves of Jazz basketball against another team in TANK mode, I had some thoughts:

1) I think Corbin is gone after this year. There is clearly no set offense or gameplan. The jazz on offense look about as confused as my U of U intramural team does. If the Miller's can't see the incompetence of Tyrone Corbin, then we will never be able "rebuild" as we want.

2) The only person on the roster that deserves a contract of 10M or more per year is Kanter. Hayward and Favors are disappointing. Both are 3rd year players looking like rookies. Players making more than 10M a year should be able to carry their team somewhat against bottom tier teams in the league.

3) I am worried about attendance this years. I know that Utah loves their jazz, but I could see the games dropping to 5-10 thousand attendance range this season.

4) 2014 NBA draft cannot come soon enough!

Well if the fans bail then good riddance. They don't deserve a team.
 
There is no way Favors is worth $12 million the way he plays. Hansbourgh (sp?) outplayed and out muscled Favors.

I thought Kanter and Favors would compliment each other. The problem is both of them are PFs. They both struggle on the defensive end when guarding bigger guys.

Jazz need to run the offense through Kanter (inside/outside) and Hayward.

Jazz are the worse shooting team in NBA history.

One of the reason why it looks like there is no offense is because other teams can easily take us out of it with a little pressure. See the Boston game, the Jazz were running their offense to perfection and then as soon as the opponent pushes back the Jazz have no answer because they can't shoot or make shots. Lucas only passes when he wants. There are many times he just looks at Gobert or Kanter and decides he would rather shoot.

Hayward is still about a $7-9 million dollar player. Favors is about the same marked up slightly due to his size.

Kanter isn't 100 percent healthy. His turnovers have been down but his rebounding has been horrible this year.

I think I could be Lucas/Tinsley in a game of horse with me being blindfolded.
 
+/- means nothing.

I wouldn't say that. The +/- (Lenovo Stat) is a plus/minus statistic that looks at the point differential while a player is on the court... If our starters are all in the negative +/- then they aren't efficient... Not sure how it means NOTHING
