Very good win tonight. Maybe the most complete win by the team all season. Nice to see everyone on the roster getting at least a point.
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.

When one door closes, another doesn't open....instead, I find myself being locked in a room with padded walls and no windows.
Playing well is priority #1 and nothing outside of that is really even close. If you're hoping someone else ****s up, then you don't deserve the break.
Trading players only to make coach adjust because he is not able to handle players ego is counter-productive in the long run. It only hurts organization and feeds bad culture. If coach is unable to keep the team under his total control get rid of him and get a new guy.
not the thread name I would appreciate. I don't like this losing attitude. I don't like tanking. we have the best contributing bench in the league. let's enjoy it.
but it's a game thread anyway so thanks.
nice hustle game by kanter. dude is just on fire when he's fired up.
Carroll's comments bugged me. He's lucky to be in the league right now.
And he's acting like he's a rotation player in this league. It's ok to think that,
but to voice your opinion in the media just makes you look bad.
He's part of the me first thing that is going on in the team right now.
Corbin reacts to it just as he wants to, by being inserted back into the rotation.
Whine to the media get what you want.
"Most nights (The Jazz) couldn’t stop a grandpa with a walker, particularly if he gave a head fake."
Burks out of the rotation now? Corbin why are you jerking around our core?
"Most nights (The Jazz) couldn’t stop a grandpa with a walker, particularly if he gave a head fake."
carroll seemed pretty impatient about making his statement that he deserves to be a rotation player at the start of the season and in the media day. he is a good hustle player, so I think he contributes well when needed, but he is not a part of a contender team's rotation, well at least not a sixth man.
again you are spot on. Carroll is a nice hustle guy, and has done some good things for us. He doesn't have any consistent go to offensive moves, and isn't a defensive stud or anything.
He makes his plays on hustle on energy. Gets some steals, and can finish well on the break. He by no means has earned the right to demand to be in the rotation.
"Most nights (The Jazz) couldn’t stop a grandpa with a walker, particularly if he gave a head fake."
I love Carroll, he is a good defender and always plays his heart out and I think his hustle is contagious for the other players on the court. Not to mention Carroll is tough, if I recall right, last year he got slammed down on the court hard, had to get one or two teeth removed and still played the next day. He is a good energy guy off of the bench, but if I had to choose between seeing more minutes for Carroll or Burks, I choose Burks every time. Burks has more potential and is better offensively. Carroll is pretty bad when it comes to scoring decent at everything else
