Ty didn't even have a practice under his belt and the team's assistant situation doesn't appear close to figured out. There are several other significant factors, but the factors mentioned are really quite significant.
Shhh. Don't use logic and reason around here.

Malone was funny and good and he indeed Malowned, but tonight? Of all nights? At least stick to just Sloan and Johnson and not horn in on Corbin and what not. I love Malone but those cracks about the coaching thing were too much. Use some greater tact, Malone, you ****ing guy.

I don't blame Ty for the loss, I blame the team as a whole for getting away from what was working yet again and proceeding to blow another game they should've won. At some point the players have to take responsibility for their play.

I'd say:
Too many turn overs
Not enough free throws
Kirilenko getting injured

Since when did Malone even know what "tact" meant?

As opposed to Gregg Miller, who doesn't have a concept of honor, loyalty or honesty.
Oh. Well, I'm sure he does. When the words are in quotation marks.

It's hard to build character when you've been coddled and handed everything you have to you. Without character, anything you believe is built on nothing, and nothing is exactly what I see when I see Greg.
I had plenty of misgivings with him, but to do what he did from where he started is truly great. His heart was almost always in the right place, even if I think he majorly bungled on some things.
If I'm ever wildly rich (ha), my kids are only going to be as pampered as living in my modest home. Even though I haven't encountered anything resembling financial success, I was taught from a very young age to be self-reliant even if they could've afforded to buy me school clothes or the toys I wanted. They weren't dead-beats, and they weren't unfair, and even though I resented what others were given and what I had to fight for (and obviously still do to some extent), I'm glad that I had to learn that you have to work for and earn the things you want in life. That is a lesson you can't learn from reading a book or taught in a classroom. And it's especially not something you inherit through genes.

Absolutely. I can identify with Greg a little bit, because I am the son of a Great Man, and I know the pressures that go with trying to live up to that kind of shadow, and find your own way. It's not easy. Thank God my family didn't have any money. I can't imagine how screwed up I might have been. But whatever my failures, I don't own the Utah Jazz. Greg needs to display some courage and start swinging for the fences with this team.

There are two types of people in this world. Those with passion and those without it. Larry, Jerry, those guys had/have passion. You saw it in everything they did. I think Greg is too busy gelling his hair to give a crap like his dad. But that's just my impression.
I'm being pretty vicious with the guy, but I haven't seen anything I like about him. And I've heard things from people that work within the LHM group that I find disturbing as well.
But I really hope the rigors of the job give him the on-site growth he couldn't find anywhere else and this team somehow finds itself a new soul. What was left was on life-support as it was, but it's dead now. The last 25 years were a hell of a run, and looking back I marvel at the luck and patience this organization has had in developing a culture of tradition with unparalleled longevity. The connection between Jerry West and Kobe Bryant, or Red Aurbach and Doc Rivers is hardly identifiable. This organization had some combination of Hot Rod, Larry, Jerry, Phil, Stockton and Malone for 25 years. That's insane.
Sigh.
I really, really wanted that ****ing win tonight. I want so badly to believe. But I have to remind myself of the turmoil this franchise is in right now for perspective on the now while trying to shield myself from what it might mean if it doesn't correct itself.

The game went sour after Kirilenko limped off the court. Is he that important to the team? I can't believe no one stopped to help carry him to the locker room.. they just watched him hop like a one-legged pirate.
