I'll just get this started.


Corbin opting to start Hayward (ideally a 2 guard) instead of Carroll and Marvin (2 of our SF's) yet keeping Foye (as of late, a terrible 2 guard) on the lineup.
Yeah I just don't think Corbin knows what he's doing with the lineup anymore.

The Foye/Hayward combo has been bad and it makes it so Carroll won't come off the bench.
Since Foye/Hayward can't come off the bench, we can't have Burks at PG (Burks needs another ball-handler to play PG) which means Watson has to be the backup PG. Watson sucks and Hayward is strongest at the 2.

Hoping @johnhollinger says this is a small sample size Tonight's Jazz starters in 68 minutes have allowed 133.6 pts per 100 possessions

Defensively the lineup hasn't worked.

One thing that jumps out on Jazz new line-up is they have only grabbed 40% of all avaliable rebounds and 65% on defensive glass #MEMatUTA

Rebound-wise they're terrible.

The reasoning Corbin will give for the move is to keep Hayward fresh during crunch time but it begs the question- Why not put Foye, a weak defender, on the bench and start Hayward/Marvin who both make up for the weak front-line defense.

Putting Foye on the bench does this:
1) Burks can now play at PG with Foye and Carroll also off the bench.
2) Gets rid of one of the worst rebounding starting backcourt in history.

The move worked today, but Memphis looked tired as hell today. We'll see if it works again, but I'm skeptical.

I agree with you. Continuing to start Foye over Burks, Marvin and Hayward is stupid. Continuing to start Millsap and Jefferson together is equally stupid. At least he is finally starting possibly our best player. Now if our 2 other possible best players (Favors, Kanter) could just start with him.

What's with the "is stupid" comments?
Considering everything is in the eye of the beholder, calling any situation or combination of players on the floor "stupid", is purely your opinion.

Judging by the stats and the eye test on the floor it is my opinion that playing those players in those situations is stupid. Why can calling something stupid still not be an opinion?

Because the word "stupid" gives credibility to an eight year old conversation, but doesn't really hold very much water in an adult discussion.

But of course that's my opinion, so to each their own.

If it did not hold water, then why did you have a problem with it? But go ahead act all snobby because you don't like my choice of words. Stupid was the word that to me best described the situation.
