Are the Players Quitting on Corbin?

[candrew]

I've found Favors conduct on this road trip very strange. Sunday Favors came out like a house on fire against The Pacers - he probably played his best stretch of basketball for the entire season. Then Corbin benches him for almost an entire quarter (the end of the first to the end of the second).

Since then he's been absolute garbage. He played bad the rest of the Pacer game, sucked in Milwaukee and sucked last night in Washington.

I know he had a couple of BS calls against him last night; but it looked like he was not even interested the last two games.

Very wishful thinking.

Plausable thinking. 5th has a good chance of moving up. Jazz are currently tied for 5th with the Lakers and only 1 game out of 4th.

I get the sense that the Jazz are playing at half speed without much desire to win any longer, especially the last two games. Do you think the players are sending a message to management to get a new coach?

I think their body language(Particularly Hayward) states they don't have confidence in the system, or the coach. Whether management will act on that I refuse to comment on.

These players love Corbin and respect him as much as possible for the way he's developed each one of them. Why would anyone make up this kind of nonsense drama? Some y'all live in a different world than the rest of us.

At one point (and possibly still) Hayward had traveled (covered more physical distance) more than any other player in the NBA. That would point to energy and running would it not? As for gettign fired up. That just isn't Hayward. He is to mellow for that. Gets under your skin and lets you get the T. I think that arguement is better used on Kanter and Favors.

Good point. I also like to believe that Hayward has a high BBIQ and he's known how moronic Corbin is and he just doesn't respect him at all. I think he, like the intelligent fan base, is fed up with Corbin and his shenanigans.

Bolerjack said on the morning show today that this is the most frustrated he's ever seen Favors. This is going to happen when you work your *** off in practice and things still don't start working during games.

I feel bad for the guy having his offensive woes after putting in as much work as he does. His frustration on court is a sign that he cares. That's a good thing.

The moving up was what I was referring to, not the final spot. I do see 5th realistically and 4th as an outside chance. I also see 7th as an outside chance too though.

Agreed.

I think Hayward is..... and kanter should.

Nonsense. Hayward isn't a quitter. I realize he's the whipping boy [for losing like everyone wanted to], but calling him a quitter is over-the-top exaggeration.

I just don't get how Hayward acts like someone ran over his puppy all the time. Your playing in the frequen NBA, get fired up, show some energy, run hard. His body language is awful. Favors gets benched against the Bucks because he showed no energy. Hayward never gets benched and has the green light to shoot as often as he likes. I just don't get why Ty has tied is horse to Hayward. The team is quitting because they have no respect for someone who ties his horse to a poor shooting SG that doesn't act like he's excited to play in the NBA.

That's what DL wants so he can find out if Hayward could take the next step. How quickly Jazz fans forget the simplest concepts...

I take offense to this post. I can't get behind a player who gets every opportunity but never seems stoked about playing.

On a slightly more serious note, this team is full of nice guys, I'd like to see some fire, some fight, some outrage somewhere.

They need to add a player that will bring that fire.

I thought RJ would bring it. I've been very disappointed in his fire this season.

I am ok with osme of the players being mellow but we seem to have a team of it. I am hoping that some of Burke's fire will catch hold. I agree that the Jazz need some fire.
