....who in there right mind would want to trade for ANY of the current Jazz players??? And playing them for "showcasing" purposes is about the worst thing the coach can do! What exactly is he "showcasing?" Pathetic uncoachable, unmotivated, basketball slop?

I'm going to hold off judgement until the trade deadline, but if this is the same team we see after the trade deadline—and Harris, Howard, and anyone else Jackpotting around aren't firmly ***-planted on the bench the second the clock hits 12:01am on March 16th—then it will be on Ty. And we might just have to dump him for a more proven coach? (Who?...I don't know. I'll let you guys figure that out.)
Wow, a couple losses and everyone is freaking out. I'm willing to suffer through this year.
Remember when Ty was a COTY front-runner?
The Jazz exceeded expectations and now expectations have changed just in time for the Jazz to not meet our new and unrealistic expectations.

It is a very hard balance to develop young players while making veterans happy. When you are winning games its not a big deal but once the losing bug kicks in then those vets are going to bitch.

Corbin might want to let the players wear headbands. He's already doing a ****ty job of molding into Sloan.
This is the problem with not rewarding players who are giving efforts.
Kanter & Burks have clearly outplayed Millsap & Bell/Hayward in the last couple of games effort-wise.
It's time to reward these guys with either bigger minutes or starting them.
There's no point handing out starting roles to the "old vets". Give them out to players who have shown efforts. I remember when Sloan played Matthews because of the effort he was putting in at the defensive end. Both Kanter (defense/rebounding) and Burks (penetration/foul shooting) have been very impressive in the limited minutes they've been given.
May be by starting these youngins' the "old vets" would step it up a little.

When Miles' minutes dipped to single digits for a few games, he came back amazingly improved. Of course he's slid back a bit by now.
Kanter AND Burks both deserve more minutes. Kanter has already shown to be a much better defender and rebounder than Millsap in his limited minutes. I'm wondering how a backcourt of Bell & Burks would work, with Hayward facilitating the majority of the offensive sets. Both Millsap & Harris have been out of sorts the last few games.
I am for focusing on defense, not just against some opponents (like Memphis), but vs ALL opponents. THAT should be our identity, like the old Chuck Daly Detroit Piston teams. It was our defense that won that Memphis game in such impressive fashion for us more so than offense. That should have taught our guys (and coaches) SOMETHING!

Watching the Lins/Kings game, at least we aren't Sacramento. Watching game strictly to view how bad they are so I can appreciate our team.
Look up Miles road #'s vs. his home #'s. That is the difference. He is god awful on the road, and really good at home. The differences are insane. Same goes for Big Al.
Everyone else is the same on road/home (some are better on road marginally) but Al and CJ really dip when they aren't in Utah.

I do not see Kanter, Watson or Burks that way.
Kanter isn't soft by any means, but I don't really consider him that tough. He is kind of like Lenny from Of Mice and Men. He has immense strength but doesn't really seem to know how to harness it yet. If that makes sense
Burks isn't really that tough.
Watson is tough, true.
