Then we'd be tanking for realz as he'd be on the disabled list and we wouldn't have Booker.
We just need to play better.

Ty Corbin didn't let them blow us out last season with Paul George and Lance Stephenson.
Blaming this loss on youth is a horrible excuse.

Agree, but I'm not quite sure where I should place blame. For now, I'll go with refs. That is, unless you have a better idea for placing blame. I'm all ears.
There has to be someone to blame? Teams have bad nights. This was one.
I don't know if you're joking or what but the refs have been awful to the Jazz this season. I hate to blame refs because it goes both ways, but there have been stretches in several games where they look like they had a vendetta to settle.
Blaming a new system is probably the most reasonable answer, or simply that the Jazz just aren't that good to begin with.

To me this all goes back to Sunday night's game against Detroit. They won because Hayward got hot at the end and Jennings got cold at the end. In all other aspects of the game The Jazz either got outplayed or played about even with The Pistons. This is why I said in the game thread that the game was going to be a struggle Monday night even against the most depleted team in the league.
10 minutes into the game I knew The Jazz were probably going to lose - even though The Pacers couldn't throw the ball in the ocean. Jazz were up by 3 at the end of the first quarter and they should have been up by 15 easily. Jazz came out like the win was going to come to them - like on Sunday night. This is what happens with young inconsistent players.

Yeah, I was joking. Just trying to bait you into blaming the coaching. No worries, though, as I'm quite sure someone else will start very soon. The losses are coming, and it's going to be entertaining to see the Quin worshipers desperately grasping to all the claims they've made as to his superior coaching ability. Just like the changing of the leaves in the fall, when the losses stack, the true colors of Jazzfanz will begin to show.

Wasn't this Corbin's expert analysis after the majority of Jazz games last year?
Yeah. We need someone to step up and make some ****ing shots. Like most folks in the know, the truest combination of a championship team is 2.5 S or 2 at the very least...
Last 5 games 
Favors and EKanter and Burks
DFavors.............31.4 minutes.......24/48 (50%)........12.4 PPG / 8 rpg 62 pts made
EKanter.............27.4 minutes........32/55 (58%)........15 ppg / 7.6 rpg 75 pts made
ABurks..............34.2 minutes........22/58 (38%)........12.8 ppg / 3.2apg 64 pts made
We know Hayward is holding up his end as a starter and on the opposite end TBurke is putting a big strain on the starters with his shooting woes,but here's the other 3 starters play
Kanter has played 20 minutes less than Favors and has made 13 more pts and has played almost 35 minutes less than Burks and scored 11 more points
Kanter gives up more points but someone has to help Hayward put points on the scoreboard
How many more pts would Kanter have put up if he played Favors minutes or Burks minutes,someone has to score

Yeah, bra. I rarely, rarely blame the refs but I would have to agree. A few of our players have NOT been getting any benefit of the doubt calls.
Perhaps. But sometimes losses on a back to back on the road happen, especially with a Jazz team that just isn't good quite yet.
