I was a Korver fan while he was here...at first. I soured on him after he passed up a couple of wide open three pointers in the playoffs. My memory fails now on the year or the series (maybe someone out there remembers) Anyway, as I recall the Jazz were down but mounting a spirited comeback, a three would have won the game or at least secured the lead with seconds to go. Korver was wide open for a trailing fast break three... he was in rhythm and WIDE open. Dwill hit him with the pass. Instead of taking the shot, he passed to a surprised memo who was out of rhythm and three feet farther away. Memo immediately launched a three, but missed and we lost the game and the series. It was the exact opposite of performing in the clutch. After that, I could take him or leave him. I would have been okay with him taking and missing the shot. But passing it up, to me, was a sign of mental weakness. It's harsh to judge him on one or two plays I know, but still, when your team needs you, you have to step up. At this point, I have not seen anything to suggest he has become the answer for us.
