Have the Jazz progressed at all since the start of the 2011-12 season?

Al's trade value is up a bit.
We have plausible deniability to trade Millsap.
All of our young players can play more or less.
We know Marvin Williams isn't a solution to anything.
The stock market hasn't collapsed.

This is progress.

The answer is worse than you think. I think they have taken a slight step backwards.

My reasoning for that is we all assumed that the young guys would get more and more minutes as the seasons progressed. As it stands now, all these guys are seeing less minutes. If they are to take over this team next year then we are hurting ourselves with the lack of playing time. Is Corbin letting them play through mistakes? No. Is Corbin letting them stay out on the floor when they are playing at a high level? No. What is there to be encouraged about? I'd say the play lately of the young guys. Too bad when players get healthy we will see less time for the young guys.

What can I do about it? Nothing.

I see the Jazz losing two of their next three. After the All Star break I see the Jazz dropping another two of the next three.

If I'm right the Jazz record would be 30-28. Wow, that looks promising.

Got to love Marvin. Starts off hitting 2 shots. Things looking ok.
He proceeds to give up 3 wide open 3 pt shots, blows a lay up, airballs a 3, throws away the ball, and play overrated defense.
He was the last starter to come out. Corbin's love affair with this clown is mind blowing.

The Jazz have not improved in any real, appreciable way and this is not news.

Great job, Jazz. Try not to out-think yourselves.

So true. I can't wait to hear, "Oh well, if Mo had been healthy..." Mother****ers, we were better without Mo than with him. Mo's not the issue. Gordon's injury hasn't really been the issue. It's coaching first and foremost. I honestly think Thibs could get 51 or 52 wins with this team as currently constructed.

Thibs is a decade of tenure short of all-time great. I don't disagree.

Guys, it's okay. This game was on the road. Teams worth a **** don't win games on the road anyway. When the Jazz get back home, look out.

Cy and lunatic wolfie where are you???

They are crying in Franklin's closet.

As bad as we played today I'm happy cause of Burks' performance out there, as I am a huge fan I loved watching him get that career high.

This game was hard to watch at times but like I heard someone else saying it was actually interesting to see our young guys play it out, especially the big men considering 'Sap and Al only played 19 mins roughly.

This is hillarious. From jazzfanatical;

I loved the "Yell 'Good shot!' and clap hands" part.
