The official Utah VS Toronto Thread at 7pm Root Sports 1280 AM/ 97.5 FM

[Revolution 9]

Let's be honest here. The Jazz didn't blowout Toronto tonight because Big Al didn't play. They blew them out because Linas Kleiza hardly played.

You are twisting the facts here a bit. Let's be honest we would have beat the Raps no matter what. I get that. Big Al plays we win, he doesn't we win.
That's not really the point.

We are talking about the bigger picture here Archie. Do we(you) want to go forward with Big Al as a our number 1 option?

[green]

Maybe not. I am getting worried that the Jazz are trying to turn Kanter into a Big Al. They seem to utitlize him in the same way, dump it down to him on left block and let him go one on one. There has to be more ways to get him in the offense than that.

Coaching. Ty only knows one offensive set, so that's what he does. He has never even attempted to run plays for quicker, more athletic bigs like Paul or Favors.

Could you imagine how good this offense would be with no Al and Phil Johnson running things?

[Thee jazz fan]

Do you think Phil Johnson would ever consider coaching the team if given the chance? After all it's been a couple years since he left with Sloan. I was upset when he chose to follow Sloan.

[DutchJazzer]

Actually you have not watched THIS team on the road. Since THIS team (no big al, kanter starting, vets playing less, youth playing more) has never been seen before.

actually i did.
last year a couple of games fat al was out.

actually i did.
last year a couple of games fat al was out.

But you actually didn't because last years team didn't have marvin, mo, or randy.

Probably not. He seems content now. Maybe if he believed the talent was there to win it all...so probably not.

I doubt HC would happen.

I'd love to see Johnson come back as an assistant coach though.
