OFFICIAL GAME Thread of the Portland Trail Blazers v. YOUR Utah Jazz 07 APR 2011 - 8:30 MST TNT

Have to wonder why Corbin hasn't put Favors back into the game since the first half after going 4/6 with only 1 foul...
 
The offense is a mess. They pass the ball around the perimeter and accomplish nothing. Giving the ball to Hayward and letting him create seemed to work against the world champs, he is getting few touches tonight and thats on Corbin.

Nonsense. Hayward reverted back to the guy he's been most of the season. He's had the ball in his hands all night. He's not driving. He's playing Bell ball just passing it around. I'm not knocking the kid. He's just playing like a rookie.
 
wth?

what is this?! what is this?! if i'm not yelling at Raja i'm yelling at Miles. This game sucks and Hayward doesn't get to touch the ball. WTF.
 
I think Hayward should do what he did at LA. Be a beast and pass to others once everyone on the other team starts jumping on his back, start a Favors and Hayward combo, let al jefferson do what he do and don't even give it to Miles even if he's open cause all you would hear is a bunch of clanking off the rim echoing through the court.

Or the coach called a play to dump it inside.....hmmmm

Every single play from the wing is to dump it inside. That's what every team does in some form or other. The job of the wing is to evaluate what he has and make the right decision. His first look is the post. His second option is to drive. If he's got neither, he swings it around. Hawyard was matched up on Matthews who played up on him. But that's what a driver wants. He just didn't impose his will and played the game. He'll learn, but he had the opportunities if he wanted to take them.

A general manager gave Al Jefferson away for virtually nothing. They had 3 or 4 years to evaluate him. Why did he do that?

To get his contract off the books and play Kevin Love who literally stands in the exact same spot. Plus they stole Michael Beasley for nothing.
 
The Jazz won a lot of games early in the season with most of these players. Hard to believe. I don't understand why there just isn't any offense. The defense is okay more or less.
 
Well, a step back for the rookies. Favors had a very good 1st half, then just stood around in the 2nd. Hayward couldn't shoot straight. And can we declare the Millsap at SF experiment a disaster? He can guard Artest. He can't match up against the quicker SF's in the league. Not that Wallace is that quick, but he does have some moves.

I kind of wish Corbin was just the interim coach. I think the Jazz need a fresh set of eyes and a major overhaul of the offense, not just minor tweaks that Corbin said he was going to make. I also think a new set of coaches would fairly evaluate the players. I'd start Favors and Hayward and bring Millsap off the bench. I'm also not sold on Jefferson. The offense just stops when he gets the ball. Jazz should have been pushing the ball up the court. Instead, the tempo was slow and slower.

Al Jefferson is an inefficient offensive player with absolutely no understanding of or feel for the game. He's not a difference maker. And he makes $29mil the next two seasons. A waste.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I've said in this forum numerous times that Corbin is not the guy you want to go with long term but have been shot down everytime with comments like "give him a chance", "he lost Deron", "give him a full season next year", etc, etc.

The same with Hayward's draft pick, I guess only time will tell...
