Game #9 Utah Jazz @ Boston Celtics - 11/14/12 - 5:30 PM MST Root Sports

Corbin is getting better.

I believe Locke talked about an interview with Corbin that he wants teams to adjust to the Jazz and not the other way around.

The problem is Tinsley is no longer a true NBA role player. He is a filler when absolutely necessary, but the Jazz are not at that point yet.

You know Tinsley is like top 5 in assist per minute?
 
Mo was pretty terrible down the stretch, but he's still much better than Harris. No need to have a melt down.

What we should be complaining about is Tinsley getting 10 minutes and having nothing to show for it but 3 fouls and 1 turnover. Yet, he'll still get his minutes next game. Alec who?
Hindsight. Tinsley is the best PG on the team, which is more an indictment on the players the Jazz have than a compliment to Tinsley.
 
The Celts are just a slightly more efficient offensive team. Jazz won the battle of the boards and kept turnovers in check, but just aren't quite a well-oiled offensive machine. The Jazz need one more polished offensive player.

The problem is the Jazz offensively have no idea what their bread is. Or their butter. Or their bread and butter. They don't know who to go to in what situations. It gets ugly.
 
Wow!!! I'm impressed! Big Al got to the line twice as many times as Darko did! Wow, he's really moving up in the world!

Bottom line: You aren't going to win any games on the road when you let your opponent shoot 50 % from the field.
 
u know the problem with the jazz is u got jeremy evans and you let players like jeff green kick your *** on dunks. this teams needs some heat, fire.
 
and kanter sucks again. jazz are gonna get screwed if they loose both sap and al at the same time right now. he is unbelievably heads down when he posts up. he's gonna have a career over post game loose balls if he keeps it up. it's not rocket science dude pass the ball out of the ****in dt.

Glad the Jazz gave themselves a chance to win the game.

I didn't realize Tinsley only played about 10min. it felt like an eternity he was playing sooooooo poorly. Celts put a big line up with Pierce at SG and Green at SF and they both have 4" to 5" on Foye somebody needed to give him help and no one did. They did this shortly after Foye hit 2x three's and started to look like he was going to go on one of his runs.

I was upset with how Mo and Paul finished the game but at least Paul's jumper was wide open and what should've been a easy layup. However last game Mo did differ and setup shots for other players so it's not like he is constantly just looking for his shot, but those jumpers where contested and not good shots IMO. Mo and Paul played the most minutes in the 3OT game and played a lot last night so I think their legs just started to wear down from that and we saw the results.

I would also like to see Burks get Tinsley's minutes and play Foye at the one, but Burks like Kanter who looked good in the preseason has not looked too good in his very limited minutes also has inexplicably went 1 for 5 (20%) from the FT line so far this year.
 
I think the thing that frustrate me must about Corbin is that he doesn't utilize Hayward enough on the PnR. Every time Hayward comes off the PnR he makes a good decision. Unlike Mo Williams who is best utilized as a SG who brings the ball up the court. Why does Corbin only run 2-3 plays a game with Hayward on the PnR? Makes no sense.

Foye is a terrible, terrible defender as well and honestly can't justify the minutes he gets just because he gets hot now and then. Not to mention he's got terrible shot selection that often results in a fast break going the other way. He should only be playing against bench players.

I agree completely with both of your points.

Hayward needs to be running the pick and roll more often.

Foye needs to play less and only when he isn't a defensive liability.

Tinsley just needs to sit on the bench.
 
I'd be fine with Foye if we didn't have Burks. He's a decent vet. He isn't winning us any of these road games though.

Shouldn't we see what Burks has before we ruin him?
