The Utah Jazz have become a joke

[doubledribble]

Theres no reason why the starting lineup shouldn't be

Favors
Kanter
Hayward
Burks
Burke

And they all should be playing 35+ minutes per game

Because the Jazz tries to copy the Spurs and Thunder, not the Sixers or Minnesota.

Maybe burks cares whether he starts or not

If he does mind he's not showing it

Yes, and throw the Clips in with the Spurs and OKC. Wouldn't mind the jazz signing a Good defensive vet, who knows his role like Carroll. But give Burks and Hayward most the minutes. Still pissed Corbin wouldn't play him down the stream last year, he's had a nice season this year.

Have faith Yell. The jazz are forging a future. To forge something you have to go thru the fire. This season is that fire. Next year Jefferson, Lucas and Biedrins (at least) will be gone. Burke, Burks, Hayward, Kanter, Favors and Gobert will be better. Neto should come over and the Jazz will land a very good pick and another late 1st round pick in a loaded draft. Plus I fully expect a while new coaching staff next year. Not to mention some financial room going into free agency.

If we are this same team next year then I'll join you in bein pissed. But for now stay the course my fellow Jazz fan.

We all hope you're right, but the anxiety about the possibility of Corbin continuing is increasingly discouraging many of us.

What does it matter whether Burks starts or not? He got 34 mins. tonight; RJ played 18.
Perhaps DL envisions Burks as a 6th man. And I see nothing wrong with that. He can provide scoring punch as the starters come out and then finish the game, which is much more important than starting. IMO, Jazz need to bring in a starting SF for next season. I did think Marvin MIGHT be the answer as the starting PF, playing 20 mins with Kanter coming off the bench, but I'm no longer sold on that idea.

wtf

marvin or jefferson could start. not BOTH.

now burks and or kanter ened to start. preferably both.
but no reason to start both of those vets who wont be here next year

Thats good of alec to not show it.

Earlier this year i heard on the radio that his agent had said publicly that alec wanted to start.
Maybe that has changed

 

[fishonjazz]

There are alot of teams that bring a scorer off the bench.

But how many teams bring thier BEST scorer off the bench?
Or for that matter, thier TWO BEST scorers off the bench?

I'm sure that's true, but if you asked all players their choice, they'd choose to start. For all we know Ty has told him he'll get his minutes in a 6th man role, and will have a chance to start. If you watch his mannerisms on the court there's no way he's disgruntled.

I agree and thats nice of him.

But maybe he wants to start more than he shows and when the jazz offer him a contract this summer he turns it down because he hopes to leave utah and land in a place where he can start.

Lol. You're going with that logic? Really? Why don't you go check the game logs and tell me how many games Burks has played 34+ and Dick has played less than 20. We'll see how that argument holds up.

 

[gregbroncs]

The only thing I see as really great about this season is that Corbin and the Jazz have not discussed a contract extension. And I see it as unlikely that he'll be back.
.
I see some good things. Like Burks, Burke, Kanter and Favors have all shown signs. Hayward has shown that he is a good player but not a go to guy. That should hold his offers down and hopefully the Jazz can keep him at a reasonable rate.

Uh, no they aren't. The Spurs and OKC both tanked in special drafts, got lucky, then made the right choice.

The Jazz are "kind of" tanking. They aren't tanking. Philly is full on tanking. Philly is following the Spurs/OKC model. The Lakers and Boston are following the Spurs/OKC model (which tells you the luxury tax is working).

The Jazz are following the Sacramento/Minnesota model. Suck, but not suck enough, then try to make the playoffs every year. Heck, even Orlando knows how to do it right. Suck, get Shaq/Howard, make an NBA finals, lose player to the Lakers, suck again.

I think he probably decided to bitch about it would only make it worse ... and hope that Corbin would be gone next year.
