Favors had 23 pts 15 rebounds after 3 and Corbin benched him for the entire 4th quarter.

Favors, Hayward, Kanter, and Burks are all stuck until just prior to their peaks. Meanwhile, the Jazz have $32mm in cap space to make it all work out. I don't give one thought to any of them leaving in 5 years or so. That kind of thinking borders on paranoia to me.

Yeah, I'm not worried about them leaving. I would just enjoy the games more if they played more.

I wish the Jazz and Locke would acknowledge that it is important for fans to enjoy the product on the floor.

I enjoy it.

I enjoy it.

I enjoy it too, but would enjoy it more if the youth played more since last year.

Also i think if the youth played more last year and early this year, then we would have been more prepared to handle these injuries and we would have won games like last night and have a better record than we do now.

Kanter had 12 and 7 the last 17 minutes of the game, hit some huge shots, played great D, didn't hurt the Jazz at all. Millsap played really well also, minus missing that damn free throw. It sucks balls when 3 bigs are playing really well and there are only 2 spots. Does anyone here really think the Jazz win if Favors comes in for Sap or Kanter during the 4th or OT?

Honestly I don't know. But maybe Favors makes more actual buckets. Sap made one bucket in the 4th quarter. He did get to the line, but even there he sucked it up from the line (went 5-8 from the line....and that last FT miss was just massive).

Can you blame him for going with the older, proven guy, who for the most part has been very very clutch? Or not go with the young guy, who was kind of hot the first 3 quarters, who has no offensive game, who is an ok free throw shooter at best?

I don't know how many times I have to say this - it's a matter of principle. Forget the results of this one game and look at the big picture. Whenever the young guys get the Jazz back into games, Corbin yanks them. Tonight, the ONE TIME he decides not to yank the players that brought the jazz back, is when it's at Favors's expense after he had been playing so well. What sort of message does that send?

It's ridiculously short sighted to say you have no problem with this because of how one game turned out. It's the same thing as having no problem with Mo's shot selection at the end of close games because he beat the spurs at the buzzer (he is 1/11 on clutch shots this season)

As of late Corbin has been riding the hot hands. Yes, he wasn't doing it for the majority of the season, but since All-Star break I would say it has been be a more regular thing. Hard to take Sap out when he was manhandling Illasoyva and Kanter was doing work.

 

[The Norm]

Oh really? He's closed with the veteran bigs every game possible since the Allstar break. He also gave Carroll a couple of games with virtually no playing time so that he could keep Marvin playing. The only player you could even make an argument for is Burks, but I have a hard time complimenting him for taking forever to finally do that when all of us knew it was the right move months ago.

I get that defending Corbin is your gimmick, but come on. Please don't tell me you were one of "those" people who thought Corbin was absolutely right to play Howard and Bell over Hayward last year?
