What's new

Gameday: Jazz hosting Clippers 11/29 7pm (mtn) ROOT

A few thoughts....

1) Kanter and Burke were totally worthless out there. Completely and utterly worthless. Kanter's defense was so bad that when he came back for the 2nd quarter I cringed knowing the lead was going to balloon back up. And I'm not even sure why Burke was out on the court.

2) Can anyone on this team learn how to hit a ****ing free throw? It's a four point game if they hit all their FTs. It's pathetic how bad they are for being professionals, and while Hayward had a spectacular game today his FT shooting lately has been abysmal.

3) Wish Burks would drive to the basket more than settle for these stupid 19 footers with like 15 seconds left on the shot clock. Granted he can make a few of those, but I hate that sort of possession in general.

4) I hate Crawford so much. Not because he seems to hit shots against the Jazz (well partly that), but because I've never seen a player flop so much after a shot and constantly get rewarded for it. Guess I should hate the dumbass incompetent refs who keep falling for it.

5) Is there something in the water in the Jazz broadcasting booth that makes these people blind to seeing what a 3 point shot is? On Crawford's last shot in the first half they kept yacking about a 3 point shot at first, even though he didn't just have a foot on the line, but he was like 3 feet inside the circle. It's comical how bad Brown/Boler/Harp are at this.

6) Overall I still like Quinn, but damn him for putting Burke and Kanter back in when the Jazz finally gained momentum. Frankly I would bring Kanter off the bench unless he was killing it in the 1st quarter. Speaking of the first quarter....if it weren't for that quarter the Jazz actually won the last 3. Unfortunately that means jack when you get slaughtered in the 1st.

One thing I noticed about Burks midrange game is that he is pretty good when he takes his 1-dribble pull ups. His problem is when he overdribbles without a plan and takes an off-balance shot.
 
Favors is getting a pass also.He doesn't play with fire consistently or play tough D or score or stay in the game.He is a good hider because of our other mongrels playing inconsistent.Snyder talks about playing with juice but other than screaming wake up wake up hasn't been able to install it in any of the players consistantly.

Snyder can't do everything. Mark my words Snyder will be a great head coach. This is a young team that's still learning how to approach games. A team with solid vets will win you more games yes, but we're looking at this long term. Did you guys expect us to kill it in our 1st proper rebuild year? Heck no. Keep calm and believe.

We've had 3 years of rebuilding, this is the 4th year. People hate on Corbin, but he developed players and understood their limitations. His only crime in player development was never using Hayward/Favors correctly, but he was pretty much spot on with Kanter/Burks.

most likely a great assistant coach

great coaches are now in cle and phx

is this a debate which one of them is a better assistant coach?
 
Why is Hayward always the first to go to the bench in the first and third quarters?

I do not understand this at all.

Hayward gets pulled 6 minutes into 1st & 3rd, regardless of how he is going.

Quinn then plays him full 2nd and full 4th, sometimes with a quick breather.

Thing is , Quinn needs to read the game and not automatically follow a predetermined pattern.


I would prefer he get pulled with 2 minutes left in 1st and come in with 9 min left in 2nd. 38 minutes.

Haywards minutes are down as well ... do not get that

No, I think Quin is doing a good thing in being more experimental with the young guys, but it's obvious some of them just don't have what it takes to be starters on a good team. Corbin saw that. I think Quin sees it also but he knows it's in the teams best interest to do it this way. I think it's obvious Quin/DL have a better working relationship than Corbin/DL did. DL probably has a little more control over Quin since he hired him.

I agree
In quins defense though, it seems like alot of coaches do this

So 8-7 with LBJ, Irving and Love is great? Phoenix is 10-8. Is that the sign of a great coach?
I'd say great coaches might be in place in Memphis and Golden State. You look at what those teams did before/after those guys took over. Joerger and Kerr have taken their teams to the next level up.
