Who is to blame for the Jazz lack of Championship fever???

[Lakers_Slapper]

I don't want to create a poll because there could be more than one right answer with this one, so I would rather have an open discussion.
The Jazz are yet to come close to being a championship contender since the late 90's. In the early 2000's everyone said that the Jazz were on rebuilding, which they were trying to. Since the death of Larry and the takeover of Greg it's obvious that he isn't concerned with building a contending team. I believe its a combination of Greg and KOC pulling the strings from behind the scenes. It doesn't seem to matter who we have as a GM, I believe they are micro-managing all of the strings being pulled. There is no way that Lyndsey is sitting there not doing a damn thing like it appears to be.
Its no secret that when G. Miller came into the position he's at that he didn't know a thing about basketball. He claimed to be a business man first. One that apparently is only concerned about not sinking the ship. KOC being promoted after years of mistakes and bad decisions lead me to believe that he was promoted because of a lack on knowledge about the game and business from G. Miller. This lack of drive reminds me too much of the KOC days and leads me to believe it has to be a combination between the two. What are your thoughts??

Didn't score enough points in comparison to opponents played to win a championship.

Lack of championship fever is exactly why the Jazz signed Boozer and Memo and traded up to get Deron.
1. I blame the Spurs and Lakers for being just too damn good. Just couldn't get past them in those playoffs we went to.
2. Let's also blame Derek Fisher's daughter. Fish hit a big shot for us in the playoffs, then had to leave to be closer to his daughter's doctor. Had he returned, Jazz may have won the championship,
3. Finally, blame Father Time. Never should have tried to rebuild. Malone and Stockton were perfect specimens who should have played into their 50's.

1) League was overwhelmed by hip hopper types and we never kept up! Tried to win with the "team concept" and our guys just wouldn't buy into it. Never had enough "athletic ability" to overcome the lack of brains on our team.

2) Drafted players that couldn't shoot straight....or hit the broad side of barn....even when wide open. When we had some decent shooters.....we traded them or let them fly the coop!

3) Hired Corbin as coach....and he was clueless in Seattle (I mean Utah!) when it came to strategy, substitutions, and player development!

4) Gave out bogus contracts to dummies who should have been playing for the minimum!

5) Should have refused to sign the "collective bargaining agreement" until the players completely caved in and the owners got EVERYTHING they wanted in the first place!

 

[Coach Ellis]

Nevermind. Misread the title. Thought it said "ever" not "fever".

Championship fever would require at least a possibility of contending for a championship. Jazz aren't even back to a playoff team in the West, much less a true contender. I don't know if they can build one with the pieces they have yet, but I really think that getting Exum was a step in that direction. They need more players like him before anyone gets too excited.

In the words of colin cowherd, someone give me an ice pick so I can jam it in my retina.

Are you with fever? What is saying about making playoff to bust out first round over and over to expect new results?
