Is it Jerry's fault we never have good shooters?

[VINYLONE]

So what have we learned here guys?

That Nic Cage can still act when given a good script and good director with whom to work.

The Spurs also had one-dimensional shooters like Barry and that taller white guy, amongst others.

Are you thinking of Matt Bullard for the Rockets?

 

[VINYLONE]

No, I think he meant Robert Horry.

I think Jerry Sloan's motto of "we work for layups" is what affects our shooting. Kyle Korver said once in the locker room, "we don't have one play designed for a three pointer". There are several teams that run the break to get a three. Maybe if the Jazz designed plays to get shooters open, we may be able to knock down a few more. But, we can't expect a team to shoot well when eight players are 2nd rounders or not drafted.

Ah, he has morphed races apparently

Matt Bonner.

 

[NCJazz]

Matt Bonner.

Ah, the red rocket. i thought you were talking in the past tense. I believe he is currently injured yet SA continues to win games. Amazing.

And is there any player more one-dimensional that Robert Horry?

Actually Robert Horry was an excellent defender, which is the reason those Spurs teams wanted him near the end.

My dad has said for years that our players are so worried about missing a shot and getting pulled/yelled at by coach Sloan that they think too hard about aiming, start pressing and end up shooting worse than normal. This obviously doesn't apply to all players, but it seems like many of these supposed deadeyes suddenly lose their jumpers once they start playing here.

Yes, some of the blame is with Jerry. Notice how Phil's guys and Pop's guys, the role players, can and do hit clutch shots in big games? Notice how jerry's guys don't?

The other part of the equation is player selection. The Jazz are way too comfortable carrying way too many guys who just cannot shoot. Ronnie Price for one. Chicken-wing Brewer for another. And those guys are SHOOTING guards for krists sake. Notice how Pops and the Spurs are always loaded with shooters while the Jazz never are.

I almost peed myself that was so lulz. Repped.

Maybe. But it doesn't help when the one guy who is shooting well gets pulled for a guy who couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with his shot. That would be Jerry's fault.
