In Defense of Corbin

Why would we have to defend Corbin? He went with the hot hand Kanter over Favors and has been slaughtered for doing so. If he had gone away from Kanter then he'd be slaughtered by the same crowd for doing what they are now arguing for.

Remember, these same people have been calling for Hayward-Burks-Carroll all season long. Corbin went with it so they had to find something else to fling their hate upon: Kanter over Favors.
 
Here is my defense of Corbin. He is a good person and possibly a good coach. On a older veteran team like S.A. or Boston. Not an up and coming team like Utah.

You're like an eagle at a river to wash its hands.. except it has no hands.

So, Favors didn't have a hot hand?

Go ahead, name the 15.

I'm of the opposite opinion. I think this team has had MORE talent than has been shown. Utah has and IS underachieving.

With so much youth and lack of ability on the part of the Vets, I guess i just feel differently. I think Watson and Tinsley might be the two of teh top 5 worst Pg's in the league at this point in their career. Also, It seems as though Kanter and Burks are just coming into their own. and it isn't like you could have started the Year with Burks as your Back up PG. I think the JAzz had more potential than talent last season and most of this season. It seems like the potential of the young guys is now starting to translate to talent at the NBA level.

Foye and Burks are both better than Tinsley and Watson. Either of them could slid to PG and be an upgrade. Guess what they can both shoot. Play them together with Hayward and it's even better. You could get away with Tinsley and Watson getting a combined 8-10 minutes tops if you did this.

I was not the biggest Sloan fan. But one thing he did do is reward the players putting forth effort. You can't tell me Watson, Tinley, Marvin and Al are putting forth effort.

You are right about the effort part. I give you that.

He went with it for so long they had nothing left at the end of the game.

1. Coaches fault 100%. They should not be starting. (they started, but they didnt play a whole lot, he made change and sat them)
2. Maybe having your best defender on the court in the 4th quarter could have helped the wings trust that if they play up they have help behind. (he is the best but Kanter is solid as is Sap, most of their buckets were outside)
3. Mistakes happen when you are tired from having a coach that forgets to make substitutions. ( If you want Foye and Williams out who is subbing for Carrol? )
4. Millsap rarely makes 2 FT's when they matter late in games. But your right I'll put that one all on Millsap. (just has to make it)
5. Mistakes happen. (He's young, **** happens)
6. Isn't it the coaches job to teach the players clock management. This is not the 1st time the team has been lost at the end of games and quarters. It happens with Mo, Tinsley and Watson as often as the youth. ( Ty can take a lot of the blame for this )
7. Can't control the refs.

Ty made mistakes, I don't think he is the main culprit though.

2 bad bad TO's 0-1 from the field and a foul. 1 of Reddicks big baskets was a bad rotation by Burks also.

Burks struggled in the OT, but partly because he was asked to just force feed millsap the ball and then watch him go to work.

In the 4th, when burks was allowed to play his game he scored 12 pts

He's made the same damn mistakes for 2 years now. At some point he needs to be held accountable for not learning. And the mistakes he is making are damaging our future.

Every coach save Pop does idiotic stuff. Everyone wants to give Burks, Kanter, Favors, leeway but not Corbin. When in reality all of them are still really young in their positions.

Whatever I have said in the past 24 hours, multiply by two, please.

There is one current coach in the league that "may" be worse. And that is Keith Smart. Everybody else in the league has a better coach than us. A lot better coach than us.

What makes you say that? I'd argue that in our head to head matchups with the Kings this year, Keith Smart has easily outcoached Corbin. When Marcus Thornton or Cousins got hot, I don't ever remember Smart taking them out in favor of some cold non-productive players. You know what Corbin would do in that same situation...

I wish we'd stop using the term 'young.' Wtf difference does that make? I'm fine with they don't know how to play, are a liability, whatever .. but let's be specific because being young doesn't mean you're automatically inferior.

I agree with this.... i think that foye, watson, and marvin are the main culprits..... of course corbin choose to start them so...........................
