If Corbin had coached perfectly, we may have been able to take one game in this series, but I doubt it.
The Spurs are just THAT much better.

just trying to say that if we had poppovich and spurs had corbin it would have been a different series

well we will see.
i for one dont believe spurs are vastly superior.
they should have won the series
but not by sweeping the jazz on avg 15+ points

4-2 if that happened and all would have been close games
The Jazz can't score. That's why they play Al Jefferson in the first place. It's like dating someone you're not all that into, but you can't get going with anyone else.
I can't seem to edit one in either. Just start a new thread if you want and I'll merge these.

Spurs IS the much superior team... and pretty much the nightmare matchup for the Jazz - A PG that can penetrate (jazz has long struggled against lightning fast guards - even Beaubois torched us), SG that draws a lot of fouls when they can't score, dominant big man that shut down undersized Jefferson, and space the floor so well with 3 point shooters. And most importantly, COY in Pop vs Rookie coach Corbin. My most optimistic projection was Spurs 4-1 with us stealing the 3rd game, but honestly, Spurs 2nd unit alone can probably beat us in 7 games anyway.

When the Jazz made their big run in the 4th quarter, cutting an 18-point deficit to 4pts, the line-up was Harris, Carroll, Millsap, Favors and Jefferson. Jefferson scored 10 points on 5/6 shooting. He didn't kill us.
I find it pretty hard to blame a coach when the series was really out of reach. I really thought he put forth a good game plan on Parker starting in the 3rd game (something that has gone relatively unnoticed/not praised by Jazzfanz), which really made those games winnable if our shooting would have stepped up.
I would say we lost more because Pop is a great coach, not because Corbin is some terrible hack.
Seriously, Millsap shot 4/17 against Boris Diaw and Stephen Jackson, Hayward was 0 for 7, Burks was 0 for 8, and our bench only scored 10 pts in the entire game, yet you guys are ranting about Al Jefferson. The Spurs shot 38% from the floor and got out-rebounded by 14, and you're still blaming this loss on Al's pick-and-roll defense. His pick-and-roll defense isn't good, but you've got blinders on. It's seriously lame.
Stop using logic.
They need a scapegoat now that Miles is injured. Corbin, Howard's 15 mpg, and Jefferson.

I was actually referring to back in the Boozer days as well - that's why i said 'has always struggled', also having someone that can draw fouls like Ginobili doesn't help either.
I'm starting to like your posts. When did you become so even-handed?
My scapegoat has been pretty consistent, thank you very much.
