Flip Saunders wants Matt Harpring Fired

Jonah said:
The best candidate I can think of is, without a doubt, Raja Bell. Probably overqualified, but you never know, he has shown an interest in broadcasting. I say give him a chance. Fire Harpring. Hire Raja.

This hole thread is tanking.

It's like posters are resting their brane sells in hope of winning some posting award.

P.S. Jonah, it's Roger Braille.... and freak is write... no on that.
 
Pretty sure the Tpups have been tanking since Spree, KG, and Cassell retired.

Hell, pretty sure they've heen tanking since the Joe Smith thing happened.
 
Hire Karl Malone.

He would be the most entertaining personality in sports history. Remember when he said, "oh ****" on tv that one time?
 
Harpring has a small point to tanking even though he didn't express it very well. Instead of accusing others of tanking (which is easy, but stupid when you lose to them)when that's the way the system is setup, he should have given solutions to it. Quick and easy fix to tanking. Go back to 1985 and open up lottery to equal chances for everyone who didn't make the playoffs. You either strive to make the playoffs or take your 1/14 chance. The other is just let the bottom teams into the playoffs with a quick best 2 out of three and an exciting chance for a "hot Cinderella" (like saying that) team at the end. <cough >Jazz<cough>
 
Anyone who thinks that front offices, who are keenly aware of the need to build competitive teams, do not consider the connection between losses, draft positioning, and best use of assets, is kidding themselves. I don't think any of them have a full "lose this game Flip, we need the ping pong balls" mentality, so the coach and players still play to win. But it isn't a stretch to see a front office looking at their players, the games coming up, and making calls like "ok we won't play these guys to let them recover from their 'injuries'" knowing that it is more likely for a team like the Jazz to notch the win.
 
No way, I love Harp's stat counting. "Gobert blocks a shot. That's one, Boler, thats one! How many tonight! That gives Rudy 163 on the year!" And I love Rudy, but lay off the endless stat counts. Hopeless childlike homer too often.
 
Harpring isn't that bad. If you want awful, listen to Scott Hastings (of the Nuggets group) for a game.
 
You know what's crazy? There are still teams that don't even televise every game. Before the game against the T-Wolves, I saw that somebody retweeted the team's official account saying that there was no TV for the game. I totally take being able to watch every Jazz game for granted.
