Utah Jazz VS LA Clippers Friday 12/28/12 @ 7:00 ROOT Sports 1280 AM/ 97.5 FM

The sad part is, this team has enough talent to be a strong 5th seed, but Corbin doesn't know how to use them. Trade Millsap for a good point guard and the team might be good enough for a solid 3rd seed.

But talent doesn't matter as long as Corbin is the coach.
 
Our offense was ****ing pathetic in that quarter and Watson was getting abused, again, by Chrissy. Absolutely zero on-the-fly adjustments from Ty.

Yer right, but if Corbin made adjustments, Del Negro would just make adjustments and the Jazz would be right back where they started.

Maybe Ty is just playing the percentages--if Chris Paul makes his first 5 shots against a specific defense set, he should miss his next 4 or 5, shouldn't he?

Cobin is the coach, not the GM sir.
 
There were some serious issues to deal with as far as substitution goes.

Millsap was not very effective, Favors/Burks were in foul trouble in the first half, and Kanter guarding Griffin is probably a disaster.

For the people pissed that Ty waited probably 2-3 minutes in the middle-late 3rd while the starters began to foul constantly and stopped moving, what would you have done?

When Favors came back he committed 2 stupid fouls. Fouled Crawford way late and then drove right into Odom. Burks has been way, way better than he looked early on but he fouls too. Hayward played a ton. I hope you guys don't really believe Kanter/Millsap would have saved the day.

Now, the last play isolating Foye was not a great move. IMO Ty could have done the same thing with Burks and let the kid fly. We didn't need a 3 and Burks had been pretty good. But besides that, we were beating the opponent, it was the referees that removed the 5 point lead late.

Apologist keeps working. Damn, bro. Get your prescription updated.

Ty's stubbornness can't even be broken by Mo's absence. The big prob in the third was defending Paul... for which he did nothing but EXACTLY what didn't work in the 2nd. And, you go with effective bench players with slight foul trouble before you hemorrhage your **** all over the floor... especially when you're just gonna auto-sub them in the fourth.

lulz
 
If I were Kanter or Favor I would get out of here ASAP. There is nothing for them to learn from Corbin. The league is in dire need to talented big men. The management is starting play with Fire. Other scouts are starting to see the talented defense of our bench. If owners arent careful, we will lose it all and be left with the black hole and finish 9th seed every year for the next 5 years.

Ahhhh! I begin to understand Corbin's coaching ... why waste brain power making adjustments when you know the other coach will just counter with his own adjustments? It's a null game, so just keep feeding Jefferson or jacking up threes.
 
What did you think about all the calls? Seems like we got hosed overall. Refs were calling it different on their end.

The Jazz lost this game when they blew their 19 point lead but yes the refs did start calling the game for the clips at the end.

Not really an answer. When you know your best defensive player already has 3 fouls and is prone to them, don't you want to save him a little? It's not an easy answer. Favors easily could have helped us coming in 2 minutes earlier, but even with Ty saving him he played himself off the court. Now I completely agree with everyone that wanted more squeezed out of him having 1 more to give, but where was that? Do you put him in for some clutch D with the refs calling touch fouls and the opponent in the penalty? Would you have put him in earlier in the 3rd to stop the bleeding and maybe have no Favs in the 4th? What would you have done?
