Tonight:
I'm on record as having little confidence in Ty and tonight there were quite a few decisions that I first-guessed him on tonight, but if Paul Millsap makes a wide-open 8-foot jumper to end the 4th-qtr nobody is complaining about the coaching. The Jazz had all the chances in the world but the starters couldn't make the big shots you need to hit to win tough games on the road.

Can you not recognize a joke post?
I can can.

To be perfectly honest I think both posts are jokes.
LOG/PKM/CY tagging up again....
Not that the deflective hyperbole needs to be adressed, but...
Vsluice, did you have a point to make aside from throwlling this in my face?
I've been very vocal tonight against Corbin's screw ups, as have others unwilling to indite Corbin before tonight. Sorry for not knee jerking after his first game at the helm, really. It seems someone sincere would celebrate a convert rather than thowing fits when someone comes to your side (no matter if it is trollish only).
What's your input on my OP?

I apologize if it seemed personal - I just saw the stark differences in the two posts in a short time period and was confused. To your OP, I like D'Antoni in certain situations but not with the Jazz. He needs his types of players to play his type of style and if he doens't have that - he's a disaster.
My feelings from tonights game was - while Ty made some decisions I didn't agree with - I blame the players first and foremost for being outhustled by a team playing the 3rd game in 3 nights and for Millsap and Harris not being able to hit 1 shot in 4 attempts to win the game.
Agreed on D'Antoni. I don't like his methodology but it's not even about him. It's about TyCorbin.
Tonight was **** up beyond **** up. I might not be the very last person to give leeway but tonight was Pathetic Coaching 101. Get your 27% 3 point shooter the hell out of the damn game. There is no excuse for playing Chuck the full overtime let alone putting up with a guy who couldn't hit his *** with a handful of wheat shooting shot after shot.
Corbin refused to collar a waste of minutes. Not only did Jerry Sloan pull chuckers like Giricek but he publicly humiliated them after the game. Corbin would be wise to follow suit.

Agreed, it drives me crazy that Ty feels he has to finish games with his starters (even in the Laker game - he had Howard at the scorers table to replace Burks when Alec converted that 3-point play vs Bynum going into a TO, and Ty ended up leaving Burks out there to finish the game). I just don't think Corbin has the balls to sit a starter for the entire the 4th-qtr. Even if Favors or Burks is playing well, he'll leave them out there past the under 9-TO but still come back with a starte at around the 5-min mark. We saw Sloan play bench players down the stretch all the time - it doesn't seem like Ty has the guts to leave a bench player who is playing well out there to finish the game.
Ty never plays anyone more than 12 straight minutes during the game. I understand sticking with your guys through the 1st OT maybe the 2nd. Nobody on this team is conditioned to play 25-30 min straight, yet he refused to make subs til he had to. He drew up some good plays but they were gassed.

Go.
D'Antoni. Where did this clown ever get so much cred?
it was funny reading Tim Donaghy's book, where he talks about reffing in the D-league, and D'Antoni was a coach, and Donaghy really rips on him, talking about much of a crappy coach D'Antoni was and a total poser.
The play that got Millsap a wide open 10 foot shot to win the game?

It's possible he is a fraud. But I don't know if there are 100 realistic coaches I would take over him. That's all I'm sayin'.
