I dunno, might have. Do you really think Carrol is better vs CP than Hayward?
I would have too, in fact. Still the dude committed 2 dumb fouls while he was in.
IMO the honeymoon is coming to an end and clearly there were a couple things that are reasonable to criticize but pushing a top team to the very end isn't an awful result. This game was far better coached than the last one.
Well for two players, the answer is that they had 5 fouls. But then again, why pull players in they're in foul trouble if they have no chance to get back on the floor (as evidenced by the final defensive lineup)?

Just watched Locke's post game cartoon with the same propaganda: "these" guys played well; "those" guys didn't. Not one mention of the fact that we watched the Clips go on a huge run in the 3rd without a TO (shades of Jerry). Not one mention of the fact that the TO's were again over 15 (as an aside, Locke can't quite seem to grasp that our TO's have gone up an enormous amount this month which is a direct reflection of the offensive ineptitude.) If shots go in, or the break contributes to easy shots, then it must mean we ran the offense OK.
We weren't a play short of winning that game. We were a coach short. Like most of the year.

Will you just please address the fact that Watson was ineffective against Chrissy during the second and then asked to defend him for most of the clipp's run in the third? Jesus, man.
ANYBODY would have been better on Chrissy. He didn't use Hay either. He let the best pg in the league get into a rhythm against a non-NBA player. No excuses. Not even from you.

That didn't make sense to me. Why not have at least Favors on the defensive end, even with 5 fouls? If he fouls out, he fouls out. Does it at least impact the game while he's in there? Of course. Would it have changed the outcome? I think so. Al missed crucial shots down the stretch and they kept going to him. It's insanity that TyCo/the Organization seems to think or expect different results, but they don't actually change anything.

Where is JGolds when we need him ? Im sure he would have a very good explanation about this lose.
Hey Brown Notes and all the other Corbin-lovers, why the hell our 2 most talented players (Kanter, Favors) are getting not enough PT even when they are on fire and blowing up there opponents ? I can understand that Corbin will gave it more to the starters, if the young guns are not earning it. The problem here is, even when they´re earning more playing time, they actually didn´t get them. Corbin is just coaching like a Cyborg.

On the micro-level, did we really run an inbounds play to give it to Foye from 29 feet and tell him to win it?
But that's just the thing, if the Jazz get a stop with Favors, they then can call a timeout then have the last possession of the game (if I remember the score right) and bring Jefferson back in (or whatever). I can't think of a single reason Al was on and Favors was off on that play.
