If the Jazz could find a way to get multiple all-stars on their team including 1 of the 8 or so best wings to ever play the game like the Bulls, Lakers and Heat had then yes - I they could do just fine with a RonHarper/DerekFisher/MarioChalmers as their PG. Kidd averaged 8-assists in over 33mpg...

Haha! Well, both of them are still far too young and inexperienced to contribute so why not trade them both and bring back some veteran bigs who can play 35 minutes per night without getting "beat up" (as Dennis Lindsey has said).

1) It is highly unlikely such a scenario would present itself for atleast another year 2) If it does - at that time we all (hopefully) will have a much better understanding of the type of players Favors & Kanter are in a major roles. We'll know if Favors' offensive game is still trending...

5-17 from behind the arc. Houston shot 6-23. Hardly a significant discrepency. The Jazz lost because (without getting into their putrid effort in the first-half) Houston made 11 more free throws. That's what happens when you run pick&roll with scoring threats and floor spacing. One of the...

I thought the Jazz should try to win as many games as possibly, I thought the Jazz should force their young players to earn minutes, and I thought Jazz fans should give Ty time to put his fingerprints on his team. I thought all of that - LAST YEAR! Last year was the season to figure out what...

Simply another example of the hipocrisy and inconsistency of Ty Corbin. When someone like Favor has been "going good" with 23&15 through 3-quarters it doesn't earn him a ticket back into the game. When someone like Burks has been "going good" with 14/4/4 and solid defense on Kyrie Irving - it...

What Favors needs to learn to do is to stop contesting layups and stop running out to the 3pt-line to challenge shots when he's guarding stretch-4's. Simply stand in one spot beneath the rim and then he'll be in much better position to pad his rebounding numbers. Works for "Big" Al.

Denver obviously got players in their deal who could step in and play from Day 1 (as opposed to the Jazz who got players who "apparently" still aren't ready to play on Day 750+) but the big thing is they have an identity along with a coach who understands how to accentuate strengths and minimize...

From 2006-08 the Suns routinely traded their 1st-round picks because they had a large payroll (Amare, Marion, Nash, then Diaw/Bell, ect) and were looking to cut salary and not take on more gauranteed contracts. As a result - in exchange for taking back Brian Grant's contract they drafted Rajon...

...probably the same way Michael Scott reacted when Toby returned to Dunder Mifflin.

It's ironic that people who are adamant about hiring a new, "modern" coach immediately have placed college coaches with no prior NBA experience at the top of their list – a pool which hasn't made a successful transition to NBA head coach in the past 20 years and in most cases has been an...

-Interesting on Stevens, thanks. My second question is can Stevens handle NBA players? -Agree, I think if Ty were to be fired Hornacek would be in the first group of canidates and Sloan would be a distant dark horse -I still hold open the possibility the Jazz miss the playoffs but Ty...

Appreciate it PKM. I don't think Jerry would try to force Ty out, but at this rate Ty could very well force himself out and I think the Jazz would be his #1-choice to return to coaching. I'll admit I'm a total Sloan-homer but I'm also trying to be realistic because I really don't think the...

I'm still in the Hornacek camp. I've seen him interact with the Core-4 (as well as Evans vs Det) going in and out of timeouts 1-on-1 more than any other coach in-game. Obviously we're not their at practice but I think he's really made a special effort to reach and teach them. Larry Miller always...

I think the organization has to make it clear from Day 1 that the head coach has complete authority over the players - good or bad. If he's bad, then ideally you get rid of him and find a better one, but the coach should definitely have total authority over the players, and hopefully he's good...

January 29, 2005 vs New Jersey.

I don't think you can say this year's team really has any type of "system." We've scrapped the UCLA shuffle-cut that we could always get layups or open jumpshots on the weakside out of, we can't run much screen-roll when Jefferson's in the game, we can't run our cross-screen action that gets us...

I posted in another thread how a week ago I felt Ty was a near-lock to return as coach even if Utah finished 9th, but now my confidence is down to around 60% not only because of Utah's freefall and Dennis Lindsey's less than long-term ringing endoresment but because of statements like this that...

Sloan, Hornacek, possibly Brian Shaw. A week ago I was 95% sure Ty would be back as head coach next season. Now I'm around 60% confident. There will be alot of egg on the front office's face if the Jazz don't come close to making the playoffs (a distinct possibility w/their schedule) -...

Nothing about Trey Burke's performance today really affected my opinion that he'd be a good mid 1st-round pick for Utah. Really a tale of 2 halves for him - in the first half Indiana was successful in funneling him away from the screen directly into their help defense. In the 2nd-half they did...
