Hardy Makes Me More Frustrated W/ Snyder

I know we're still early in the season, Hardy is still proving himself, blah blah blah. But man... seeing him let rotations ride the wave of momentum, making in-game adjustments, etc. really makes me think what the Jazz roster of the past 5 years could have done with a different coach. I always thought Snyder was overrated on this board and by Jazz fans. The dude wasn't some basketball genius. He was the same guy that assigned Ricky Rubio to guard Harden from behind his ***.

I'm not saying we would have won the championship, but surely we could have at least made a WCF appearance... Aside from all of this, it's clear as day Snyder lost the locker room. Rudy and Don (Maybe not Rudy but definitely Don) look to be playing better than their time at Utah. This Jazz team is playing with more heart than Snyder's teams ever did outside of the OKC series.

Here's to hoping Will Hardy continues to improve upon this great start to his career. Go Jazz

That actually worked though. Houston had a historically elite offense that regular season, and their offensive rating against us in the playoffs was garbage.

There's other reasons to dog on Quin, for sure, but this isn't one of them.
 
The happiest day of my life was when Snyder decided to step down. It actually irritated the crap out of me that our management team was ostensibly trying to keep him. Total choke artist that seemed visibly distressed any time things got close. His stress level and inability to make good decisions/ adjustments carried over to the player’s stress level IMO. And no, iso was not the answer every time! All I know is that Mitchell looked to play so much more freely in that tightly contested overtime win in Boston the other day

Funny , now all the Lakers sportswriters begging saying its time to make a Utah trade because they are seeing so much talent on the Jazz shine.

Yeah I’ve noticed that too! Like we would jump on a Westbrick deal at this juncture. Even if we were amenable for both firsts, if we shut him down it would arouse way too much scrutiny and suspicion from Silver at this juncture IMO.
 
I like Snyder. At the same time always thought he over-coach.
I read somewhere Ham is consulting with him... obviously with mixed results lol
 
Snyder definitely deserves critique, but when Hardy gets to Snyder's level of success lets see how he performs.

There is a huge difference between coaching with no expectations and coaching when you're team is the #1 offense.

Making changes is easy when nothing you're doing is elite. When you're the #1 offense changing things up is a bit more of an actual decision.
 
Snyder at one point was not afraid to try new rosters and let guys play. He was innovative and not afraid to try something new. Once we got all the veterans he became even more stubborn that Sloan was with his lineups and rotations. The team became stagnant. I'm guessing Hardy will start to lean that way at some point but I hope he isn't as stubborn as Snyder became.

The thing we cant really know is if that elite offense was garbage because of that move. Sometimes an offense simply has a bad series and misses shots they normally make (have seen it happen to he jazz plenty)

Could be, but it doesn't make it any less unfair to criticize Snyder for it. Even if you want to claim Houston forgot to offense, the fact remains that our defense didn't fail in that series.

I'm not even trying to argue in Quin's defense overall. I went on a rant against him last night. But this is just an unfair criticism.

I do not like much Snyder but he was a good coach for many years. For me his main failure was not beeing able to make this team as a good collective team able to work for each other, unselfish. Specially when you have talented players such a Rudy, Don, Bodga.... i totally agree with DA analysis when he say mopre or less the same thing. Good individual players does not make necessary a wininng team, looking at Nets is a good example.

Fair
And to quins credit, he had an extremely limited offensi e player that was the focus of his teams and created the number 1 offense in the nba. He should get some credit for that
