DAMNIT!

I caught my other typo, though.

the problem with being the message board police is that you have to be perfect all the time. In my haste to type a message I typed Aldrich instead of Aldridge. You felt the need to call me out on it even though you knew what I meant. In your haste you had a type-0. I can't help but laugh.

I'm just a bit embarrassed for you that in your pathetic attempt to defend Corbin's moronic decision to sit Burks in the 4th quarter that you pulled off the nearly impossible - you made Corbin look smart by comparison.

When Burks was in the game Matthews scored 7 points. Let's give you the benefit of the doubt and assume Burks was on Matthews for all seven points - Burks scored 20!

If that isn't enough for people like you and Corbin who are clueless, if you are going to talk defense, Portland scored 22 points in the last 8 minutes of the 4th that Burks was on the bench - that's 132 points per 48 minutes. Apparently the benching for defensive reasons didn't work out so well. Seriously, try to keep up.

I'm starting to think more and more that corbin is in on the tank. Maybe Burks sat because he scored 20 points.

You have to understand that Corbin doesn't subscribe to most analytic methods out there and uses other...more traditional methods to analyze and react to a game. Portland was getting a lot of what they wanted with Matthews initiated offense with Burks on him. That's what I'm sure Corbin saw. Whether it's the right decision is up for debate, but it wasn't an egregious decision either.

Again, let's give you the benefit of the doubt that what you're saying is correct, despite the fact that it's BS. Portland kicked the Jazz *** defensively during that time Burks was on the bench. So if Portland was getting what they wanted when Burks was in on Matthews, apparently they raped the Jazz when Burks was on the bench, because it only got worse. I'm sorry, but while your defense of Corbin sounds good on its face, the facts or results simply don't support the decision.

More than once is certainly suggestive of intent rather than neglect. Not the first misuse of the guy's name on this board, either. When you're lumped in with The Thriller, you can understand my connection. Or ARE you The Thriller?

Burks was -9 in 24 minutes...
Jefferson was -12 in 15 minutes ON the bench.

Jefferson on the court and not Burks in the fourth was not why the Jazz lost the game. Other reasons cost the Jazz the game. Whether Burks SHOULD be on the floor and not Jefferson is definitely up for debate and for the future of the Jazz, but for this one game, it wasn't the issue.

The real issue is that burks play warranted playing time rather than punishment.

Also we suck and are going to lose the majority of game we play regardless so why not play a young lottery pick who is having the game of his life over an old vet that is not likely part of the future that is playing ok
 
Great news for the Jazz. GSW lost and Denver won.

As far as the Jazz loss. I don't mind losing to Portland when the team plays like they did. I saw improvement on the defensive end.

Kanter and Burks played great. Burke played solid. Hayward fought back from a horrible 3 quarters to have a decent 4th quarter.

Sure. As I mentioned, I was surprised Jefferson got the whole 4th quarter. Corbin gets caught in the 121 substitution pattern too easily and seems unwilling to break from it, and since he ran with a three man wing rotation tonight, when Corbin brought Gordo back early, it had to be for Burks, and thus the starters were back in, and thus they were to finish the game.
