Corbin needs to be fired immediately

[Darkwing Duck]

As long as the new coach is willing to play Kanter and Favors together and work the ball into the paint, rather than playing this D'Antonio ball .........I will be happy.

So you want Alfense?

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Did he underperform your expectations or something? I don't know/care enough about his playoff adjustments to judge him either way. You have my ear though.

I think he relies on bad numbers and "feel" too much. He played Gay to his weaknesses and not his strengths. He's good at defense, for sure, but not game-changingly so. Never had a good offensive team, from what I'm aware of, relying too much on isolation play (good thing Gasol is such a good passer).

Agreed. At this point who even cares anymore.

But my fear is he'll be back next year. It logically doesn't make sense with better coaches out there, but this organization can by loyal to a fault. And I say this as someone who appreciates loyalty.

It's not like the Jazz to let a coach go this long without a contract extension though. I feel that it's a good sign that we have not even heard talk of an extension this late into the season.

Just because he wants to work the ball into the paint does not mean he wants the offense to stop when it gets there.

The problem is that Favors and Kanter currently are absolutely horrific interior passers at this point in time that the offense will do nothing but stop whenever the ball goes in the post.

Well then they need to be taught it. And that is the coaches job.

Lead a horse to water...


Think about it. How many times have you seen Kanter get the ball in the high post on the 1-4 UCLA cut and as soon as the weak side big flashes to deny the man trying to rub off the screen (usually Hayward or Burke) he panics and waits for the strong side wing to come to him to set a pass off pick? So many options off that UCLA cut and Kanter REFUSES to do anything other than the easy, easy pass to the wing if it's there (rarely) and will never pass to a baseline cut option, so they took that out of the offense. Kanter's only good on garbage plays, pick and pop, and non-doubled post iso. He can't pass (yet). They've tried, failed, and put him only in situations where he can make a positive impact offensively, which right now, is Alfense.
