Earl Watson is better at playing basketball than Devin Harris

I really want Harris to succeed but I get the feeling watching & listening to him that he really doesn’t care. Like it’s a job, and he likes the paycheck so he’ll show up like he’s supposed to. But really he’d rather be doing something else, so not a bid thing if things aren’t going well. Anyone else ever get that vibe?

What are you talking about? Be specific.
Harris was the 1st one back in the Jazz practice facilities when the lockout ended.
If anyone is giving off the 'throw away season' vibe, it's KOC.
 
I really WANT to be impressed with Harris, but so far, I haven't really felt that way. I agree with others that Watson seems to run the plays better. Hopefully Devin will get his head on straight and start doing a better job of that. I hope having Howard here will help.
 
Deron always struggled on defense with short-quick point guards. Looks like Harris is going to have the same problem. I am concerned that he looked very slow. His claim to fame was his quickness and speed. Heaven help us if he has lost those attributes. We had 22 turnovers against Portland, Harris had a lot of those turnovers and our PG's didn't get us into the offense quick enough.
 
Hey Harris its real simple. Fake one way, crossover your dribble , drive past your defender, and then as you approach the hoop determine if you have a lay up. If not, kick to a shooter when the defense collapses.

Hey Harris its real simple. Run the pick and roll once in a while. You should have learned this along time ago.

Can't anyone on the Jazz make a shot off the dribble other than a layup?

Doesn't look like Harris has been given the keys to the offense imo.
If TyCo let Devin be Devin, you'd be seeing a lot of p-n-r and even pick-n-pop, it's Devin's favorite play.
A beast can't go into beastmode if it's never let out of its cage.

Harris wants to drive a different offense. One that is less of a team offense and one that is more "AAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH I HOPE SOMEBODY IS OPEN OR SOMEBODY FOULS ME!!!"

You are ridiculous. Did you watch the game last night? He was awful, I know it was only pre-season but he was truly awful. As for KOC - we have a lot of talented youngsters on our team and I am excited to watch them play. If only they had a real PG to pass it to them.

What is your connection to Harris?

Heaven.
 
I would honestly start Earl Watson at this point. I have never had anything against Harris before he came here and when I learned he was part of the trade I was stoked. Simply put he doesn't look like a leader on the court, a floor general or a "cagey vet" or any other cute veteran sayings out there. He's just the guy that brings the ball up the court.
 
Ok this is my take. He looked really bad last night. He cant defend a lick and cant run an offense. He needs to be on an run and gun team, not a structured offensive team like the Jazz. However, it was just one game and I'll give him so more games before wanting him gone completely. Too early to give up on him now
 
With our current crop of youngsters, we could be a dangerous run and gun type of team. This may work out. Passing judgement after one preseason game is a mistake. If we had done that last year then CJ would have had lots of minutes last season and that would have sucked.

Oh wait.






Wow are we ****ed.

lol you seem to have a need to upgrade your bbiq.
 
I was very vocal in my hopes that Harris would be re-routed right after we acquired him. Then, in the long off-season, I convinced myself he could work well with Hayward and Burks at the wings. I'll hold onto that hope, but he was ****ing pathetic last night. Nuff said.
