Jazz's SOS: .509
Suns' SOS: .537
Same number of home games for both teams, the Jazz have played two more games in total and those two extra games were on the road.

It's the coaching.

We're pretty terrible all around.
Consider this- Not putting opponent win % into account, if we continue at the rate of 1 win every 15 games then we're set to win 5-6 more games this season putting us below the Charlotte Bobcats disaster a few years back.

We're going for the record right now. Our schedule is one of the toughest though, but the only thing we have left to root for (other than the tank) is to get 9 more wins this season.
 
Pretenders.

Cris Paul ripped Treys finger off and trey still returned sooner than sprained ankle Biedrens. Where is bieds anyway?

Rush isn't rushing back either, he has a 'psychological block'.

If we still had Hornacek as assistant coach our record would be however 1-14??

We'd still have the same record, but at least we'd have SOMEONE on the coaching staff to fill an interim HC position and give us the flexibility to simply can Corbin's ***. Right now, all we have is Sidney Lowe...I just threw up in my mouth...

yeah, and Marvin Williams broke his nose and still played w/ mask, then w/o and broke it again, and then rushed back to play again w/ mask. I think the GSW guys got used to being worthless to their team, except for RJ (although I wish he thought he was).

Watch Kanter, who just barely sprained his ankle, will return in a matter of games while Anal Beads will still be out.
 
Let me pull out my psychological hat here and try and analyze the Jazz core:

Hayward is just like the kid who is all gung-ho to grow up and become an astronaut, but when he actually leaves the house to go to college he suddenly finds out how hard life really is out there and he falls to pieces. BTW, the video game thing kinda fits this. Can he work himself out? Up to him really.

Kanter is similar, he left the gates all rearing to go, but the more he focused on his offence, the less energy he can put on defense, and suddenly the wall of Kanter looks more like the 'ole of Al.

Favors is actually doing alright. On schedule and steady. Not elite yet, but no signs of collapse.

Burks is suffering from the natural effects of being scouted by the other teams. They are showing him that he does indeed have weaknesses in his game.

Burke is trying to put the team on his back and is doing ok, but he needs to trust his teammates more and set them up. That of course requires that his teammates earn his trust first.

Basically, we suck, it isn't being staged. That doesn't mean fire sale, but it's going to be a long year, and for heavens sake, stop using the core four thing because I doubt very much that we keep all of our RFA players, especially if we pick top three in this draft.

Nice post.

Good observation on Burke. A couple of times last night where he would set his team mates up perfectly only to have them missed the 3... or a jumper, etc. I think he's gotta get used to the fact that not everything's gonna be an assist on this team.
 
You guys aren't watching very closely. Remember the first game of the year? We pushed OKC to the wire. Did the team even look remotely like that team last night? It's Corbin. Everyone has watched him suck for three years. Why is this year any different? But now he has a team of young guys who need leadership and he ain't giving them any. They're like a ship without a rudder, a church without a pastor -- it's the blind being led by the blind, and if you can't see that, then you are blind.

I admit I'm starting to doubt the Core 4 as well, but I won't give up on them until I see what a competent coach can do with them.
 
LOL.. do you guys need further evidence that Ty is part of the tank?

He left Favors in VS CHI with 5 fouls, and had just fouled out with his 6th foul with 5 min. still to play.


I'm pretty sure Ty doesn't care very much whether we win this game.


Update: Now they've changed the foul to Hayward. Favors still in game with 5 fouls.
