I'm not sure what sitting Boozer and putting in Taj Gibson has to do with those players? I didn't make a point about his team just his coaching. He regularly subbed Taj for Boozer and Ronnie Brewer for whoever when he needed a stop. Maybe you could help me with your point?Originally Posted by franklin
Put it this way: is the defensive success of our bench because of Tyrone Corbin? Or is it because of the desire, and physical talent of his bench squad?
Another postulation: Before 2008 (before KG), was Doc Rivers ever considered a great defensive coach? Or did this reputation build after acquiring key defensive players in Tony Allen, Kevin Garnett, et al?
Truthfully told, I think Thibbz is definitely one of the best defensive coaches in the NBA. However, I certainly wouldn't put him in an echelon above Mike Brown, Monty Williams, or any other decent defensive coaches. The guy has a great unit of defensive workers to deal with, minus Booz.
As far as your point about benching Taj for Boozer, I'd say the scenario is a bit different. Boozer isn't the main offensive weapon of the Chicago squad. Could you imagine Thibodeau benching Derrick Rose if he started dogging it defensively in the 4th? Me neither.
I for one, readily admit that Al gave us some offense tonight, but what I'm arguing for at least is that you make situational substitutions. If you need a three at the buzzer, don't put Al, Favors, and Jeremy Evans on the floor, put good threepoint shooters. If you need to stop a team from making a point, then put your best defensive players on the court. As to Thibodeau, he had one of the top two defenses in the NBA with a starter of Carlos Boozer and a regular rotation player of Kyle Korver. That alone speaks to his defensive brilliance. He had good players yes, but he also had dump defensive players mixed in.
shooting 38% with 0 fta as big man 1st option doesnt seem like he provided us with much offense at all, just sayin
I defended Ty for his subs in game one because the Jazz won big. But in this game his subbing was just dreadful. Burks is great at drawing fouls, yet he can't see the floor at all in a game where the Jazz went to the line a whopping 10 times, with 3 of those being technicals. It makes no sense.
It started with Earl [Watson], Randy [Foye] and Marvin [Williams]–the veteran guys. I thought the young guys did a good job of following their lead getting us off to a good start. - referring to the Jazz/Bobcats game on 3/1/13
Earl, Randy, and Marvin started the first quarter 0-3, scored a whopping zero points, and finished with a turnover in the first quarter.
Your head coach of the Jazz ladies and gentlemen.
Mo Will averaging 16 shots a night. If Mo Will averages 16 shots a night for the next 82, we're sunk. Subs don't matter with that statistic.
Doesn't play for coach Tibs.

Corbin needs to be fired. His rotations have not improved over last season and he really is a coach who seems to play lesser vets over better young guys. Favors should not have come out of the game last night near the end. As soon as Jefferson came in they went right at him and scored at will. Millsap and Jefferson on the floor together is a horrible combo. 2 offensive minded players who have no idea how to play defense. Favors needs to be and deserves to be playing 30 MPG.
Please FO, Please do the right thing and FIRE CORBIN. Then let all of Millsap, Mo, Tinsley, Watson, and Jefferson walk. Re-sign Carrolle and get a real freaking PG.
So being the 2.0 version of one of the best coaches ever is a bad thing?

They're obviously talking about his substitution patterns specifically.. not other facets of the game.
Also his insane favoring of the vets and his slow response to in game tactical changes and overall strategic adjustments. And while Sloan was brilliant in many other ways (something Corbin has not shown), the NBA evolved and he remained in place. So a Sloan 2.0 would be pretty awesome. All the strengths of Sloan, with a modern NBA mentality! But what we have here is a Chinese knock off Slown Extreem for $99.
I agree.
I wish I knew what the hell was going on here. Millsap basically played pretty bad through the first 3 quarters, yet he continued to play the end of the 4th as well.
I thought Favors was playing great, and was the only guy playing decent defense.
Why even have Al in the game if Mo, Foye, and Marvin were just going to huck up long range shots the whole game?
And I'm not going to even get into Burks sitting on the bench, while Tinsley and Carroll get his minutes.
Although Carroll always plays hard.

And he hit the game tying 3 pointer. That is why he is in.
The only thing I really have a problem with is the lack of defensive substitution for a final possession. Seems pretty dumb to me. The only argument I could find against it is that if Favors got a rebound, he would be fouled and probably miss FT's, but that isn't really a strong enough reason not to have him in.

......thanks for the memories! Glad we ain't paying all that money to pathetic Boozer anymore! Too bad Corbin is dead from the neck up when it comes to coaching. We should have fired him and hired Stan Van Gundy! At least the press conferences would have been a riot! Like the NFL this year, there seem to be SO MANY "train wreck" teams that watching most of them will be extremely hard on the eyes!
My apologies for misreading you. Apparently I read Boozer and my mind went ballistic.
If you're talking about the last play where Hayward fell down then I agree. Regardless of the last play, if the Jazz are going to be a middle WC team then they need to control games against teams like the Hornets no matter where it is played. The final play may have been on Corbin, but the loss is definitely on the players.
To add, one school of thought believes in keeping current players on the floor because they're aready warm and all. Play-by-play report says it was a 20 second time out. That may be why Favors wasn't put in. Besides, the focus with 7 seconds left was on perimeter players. So yeah, it's very possible Corbin put plenty of thought into this exact situation prior to the 20 live seconds he was given to make a decision.
