List specific Mistakes Corbin has made

1. Starting Bell. He should be the last player off the bench.
2. Not running more. If your PG wont run you pull him and find somebody else. Since this wasn't done i assume this is by plan.
3. when down by 20 plus points in the fourth you must play the young guys the entire fourth. Even more true with a condensed season.
4. Not letting Favors play with foul trouble.
5. Not using his time outs to stop runs by other teams. Sloan often let his team play on, but he also has stockton and malone.
6. Not giving Burks and Kanter more burn. They seem to be playing well.
7. allowing players who are off to continue playing. Hayward was 1-9 or 1-10 from the field tonight. Instead of watching him struggle why not pull him in favor or someone else. The same is especially true for CJ who is a streak shooter. Give him time and if he hits a couple leave him in and see if he can do it the whole game. If he misses three shots, its not his night and park him on the bench.
8. Not running more pickNroll ball.
9. running the entire offense to get Jefferson isolated on the low block. Too much standing around and hoping Big Al makes the shot.
10. Making Scott layden an assistant coach?
 
Not playing Burks, not playing Burks, not playing Burks, not playing Burks, and not playing Burks.

The fact that Burks has outscored Raja in his past two games in the whole 2 minutes of time he has got on the court is a total indictment against Corbin, and frankly, I'm teetering towards the Fire Ty bandwagon.

But it's not just that, this team's offensive issues are depressing.

Agree with all except #7. Would this conflict with #3 or #6 when Burks or Kanter struggle. Maybe it's not 100% Corbin, though. Perhaps KOC, who loves to "collect" assets, is asking Corbin to play guys like Howard and CJ, perhaps even Bell, a bit more, in hopes of upping their trade value. You can't convince me that wasn't the reason for starting Okur. I think a few players could be dealt for picks later this season.
 
11. Not guarding the three line. The spurs have been a three point shooting team for three years. Guard the damn three point line!

Sarcasm?

Why would we want someone who might just possibly bring back Sloan's inept substitution patterns and vague analysis (see the Spurs post-game) when we were successful in freeing the team from them (except that the Jazz hired someone who is somewhat infected [speaking of "infection"] with the same philosophy, but with more ineptitude)?

How about "allowing players who are off to continue playing non-garbage minutes"?

Starting Okur is consistent with Corbin's flawed philosophy of favoring veterans, even if they do not deserve it. And with Okur, it was part of his rehabilitation (at the sacrifice of Kanter & Co.).

I really don't think that KOC would (often) tell Corbin to play players more--especially given that Howard was just acquired. Isn't there a waiting period before retrading?
