Let's all freak out, because

Does anyone remember back to preseason when Corbin took Kanter out of the starting lineup, and some of you (stoked, franklin) said it was nothing to worry about, and that there was no way Corbin wouldn't be starting kanter and playing Him extended minutes all season?

it seems my overreaction was justified. kanter only played 13.5 minutes last night, hasn't started for a while, and has been shafted minute wise ever since going to the bench.

Kanter, a #3 draft pick who was drafted on potential, didn't play college or much since entering the league, and who just lost a summer of conditioning and training to injury, is having his minutes reduced!? I understand he's had some off games and questionable decision making, but come on, it is obvious Corbin is scapegoating him for the way the season started. we didn't lose because Kanter and Favors were playing together, we lost because Trey, Marvin, and Jeremy were injured.


i can't believe more people aren't outraged over this.

No one is claiming that your bolded part is why we are losing so I am not sure where your rage is coming from. Having the injuries was clearly the main reason for the Jazz's opening record. However certain moves can be made that strengthen the tank. Such as giving Kanter starter minutes. I think he will be great for Utah's tank and it will be great for Kanter and he gets the time needed to develop and learn thru things. I see big things from Kanter down the road. It just makes to much sense to not give him that time, as well as Gobert, right now.

I have seen gvc throw out tons of example of favors and kanter playing together being a huge factor in the jazz winning or losing

OK fine. Aside from GVC. But he is Canadian so does he really count?

Lol.
Maybe numb.
But ya, most of us blame the early losing on lucas the 3rd and tinsley + plus no bench whatsoever
 
To clarify, I'm not accusing this board of blaming the losing just on Kanter, that I think is Corbin's mindset.

My rage is mostly at Corbin, but am also perplexed as to why more people on here aren't as livid as I am that Kanter's not starting. I expected him and Favors to start together until the duo worked, afterall the sample size of them playing together is so small, and was with key players injured.

I expected a starting lineup of:
Burke
Burks
Hayward
Favors
Kanter

But would still gladly settle for:

Burke
Hayward
Williams
Favors
Kanter

Burks 6th man





Where are your pitchforks?!

Jazz FO finally listened to us this offseason, but Corbin has derailed what they promised us for extended minutes for 2 players who aren't a part of long term plans (for sure jeffy isn't).

kanter gettign the shaft has been bemoaned by many on here. Myself included. At this point in his career, and with the makeup of this current team, I see no valid arguement to be made by giving kanter less than 25 mpg. None.

word. Agreed, obviously. I just think we fans should stir up the kind of **** storm the FO can't ignore (like we did last year). As it is, it seems to be a 50/50 split of opinion about this decision.

Unfortunately a fan can be smart but fans are dumb, stupid sheep.
