What shouldve been done at the beginning of this season...

Will firing a coach and promoting an assistant to interim coach really increase ticket sales? How much will that coach be able to do mid-season to improve the team? You still have to pay a guy to not work, which is bad business. It's not paying a little to get rid of them, it's paying them the exact amount as it would be to have them stay.

Here's a better example. If it doesn't make sense, then certainly you should avoid going into business. If you're the Knicks and Isaiah Thomas and/or Scott Layden is your GM, does it make enter financial sense to fire him or let him continue his job, as you'll still be paying for him anyway? Do you get what you paid for or do you eat the money by firing him?

Hornacek is a run and gun style coach. You really think that would work here or just trying to pester me?

Phil Johnson said in the Atlanta post game show: "They (Jazz) really are a better team when they are running and pushing the ball, get up the floor, run the floor..." But I guess I should take your word over an ex-NBA Coach of the Year...

Guys...doesn't Horny already coach for another team? Give it up.

I wonder if they call him Horny in PHX

I don't know why it wouldn't.

They tried against the worst team in the league and ended up down two at halftime. That Phili game was so fast paced that even my wife, who knows nothing about bball and rarely watches five minutes of it with me, commented on how sloppy the play was.

IMO you need better spot up three point shooting to run correctly. If there isn't a quick basket then set up around the arc fast and drive and dish -- kind of like the Jazz already do in most their sets but with the advantage of having a defense on its heels.

I'd like to say that I want to watch them run Nellie Ball, but that Phili first half was ugly to watch.

Well if it didnt work during one half of a game during a stretch of the season when the jazz are really struggling then obviously that proves that it can never work.

So ya, continue to play with a super slow pace and watch hayward, trey, and favors excel on offense like they have so far this season

I was giving an opinion, not proof.

There's a wide range between no fast break and all fast break. Every team finds their own balance. Good teams excel at either end of the spectrum, while poorer teams like the Jazz are mediocre at both.




You seem to want change for change's sake and with that I agree. Like I said, I'd like to say I want Nellie Ball, but...
