Yep and the Magic took "exactly the same" approach with Dwight Howard too! Dwight Howard Exp/Starts/MPG/Wins Rookie/82/32.6/36 2ndYear/82/36.8/36 3rdYear/82/36.9/40 4thYear/82/37.7/52 5thYear/79/35.7/59 - NBA Finals Anyone can attempt to make an example out of anything and then try...

This. Worst example this season was the 4th-quarter against the Celtics in November - tie game w/2 minutes left - Jazz have the ball and Mo goes 0-4 down the stretch forcing two long 2-point jumpers, missed a layup, then missed another 3pt late. Afterward he said/tweeted that it was on him and...

You haven't noticed Burks has become our second-best screen-roll player after Hayward?? What teams are primarily doing is forcing Burks away from the screen (which is what Phil Jackson's championship teams have historically done) and Burks has done a good job making that pocket bounce pass...

I think Mo's return will eventually help as he's obviously an upgrade over Watson, but there's no question he didn't help matters tonight as much as Bolerjack&Harpring would have led you to believe: 8pts, 6ast, 4 turnovers, 3-12 shooting in 27 minutes. At times he tried to play too fast and...

I'm not a "Big Al Hater" - I merely think he's not a basketball player who should be a #1-option on a team that wants to win big now or in the future. That said, on the road Al Jefferson averages 15.8pts on 14.9 shot attempts while shooting 46% from the floor. The Jazz are 10-19 on the road...

I can't say I was suprised that Ty replaced Alec Burks with Mo Williams at the 3:55-mark of the 4th-qtr after the Jazz had scored on 2 of their previous 3 possessions ... but my only question was is Ty Corbin remotely aware that Randy Foye is a poor defender or did he honestly think the Jazz...

This. Foye should be utilized in a similar way to how Jerry Sloan used Kyle Korver (18-24mpg dependant on matchups & level of play) - not as a starting 2-guard getting 25-30 mpg.

Agreed. Ultimately the Jazz will have to pay someone in 2013-14 and heck, the Jazz paid a decrepit Tom Gugliotta for 25 games in 2004 and ended up with Gordon Hayward for it. I don't really like Jefferson, Bogut or Biedrins as players, but if they wanna throw in a 2014 1st-round pick I'd...

Teams that as of right now are on track to be in luxury tax territory (in some cases dependant on ETO's not being exercised, likely qualifying offers, ect) without factoring in extensions/new contracts (such as the Clippers w/CP3+Bledsoe): -Heat (Wade $18.7 mil 2013-14 salary, Bosh $19.1mil...

This may have been already posted but I loved Mark Cuban's response to Derek Fisher signing with OKC: "Look, I understand completely. From the time Derek was here to his signing with OKC, his kids are older, they can deal with things better. So I understand him having more comfort in being...

The only "inside hire" I would even consider making would be Jeff Hornacek. Going as far back to 2000 when he retired, Jeff was someone multiple people in the organization (from Larry Miller to his teammates) as someone who they felt had the intelligence and personality to be a future head...

In some ways I'm not worried - because if all four do indeed become above-average players it becomes very difficult to keep them and if we're smart (like the Spurs&Thunder), we will identify 2-3 of them to keep longterm and trade the other(s) for cheaper talent on rookie-scaled contracts or...

Regardless of what I or others feel about Ty Corbin, I'm confident he will remain head coach of the Utah Jazz through the 2013-14 season. The Utah Jazz will look at Corbin's job performance and see the .500 record and "difficult" circumstances in which he inherited the job without taking into...

I'm not sure why people are shocked Marvin Williams is still starting 60 games into the season. Last season it was Josh Howard and CJ at the SF position. The only difference is first Howard, then CJ got injured and that paved the way for DeMarre to start the final 9 games - in which the Jazz...

Since Derrick is a low-ego, quiet, and from all accounts a good teammate I don't think he'd ever have some sort of outburst...but as a competitor how could he not feel frustrated with how his playing time transpired over the course of the game? The thought "What do I have to do to get PT?" has...

It was ridiculous Favors spent the entire 4th-quarter and overtime on the bench. He accumulated 23&15 through 3-quarters merely by crashing the boards, taking high-percentage shots and flashing to open areas. He was clearly the Jazz's best player and Utah could've used his length and defensive...

Favors racked up 23&15 through 3-quarters just by crashing the boards, taking high-percentage shots when he got the ball and then flashing to open areas and using his athletic abilities to finish. It was absurd and ludicrous he wasn't re-inserted into the game at the 7-min mark of the...

4 players averaging 15 pts or more per game has happened a bazillion times throughout NBA history. 4 at 17pts is obviously rarer but not unheard of - the D'Antoni/Nash era Suns definitely did it to name one although obviously they played at a faster pace.

You simply can't be up 2 w/2 minutes remaining in OT and give the opponent's best player a wide-open 3 to flip the game on its ear. Yes, Al should have stepped out but when has he ever done that in his life? He took Favors of the game when he picked up his 5th foul...what was he saving Favors...

While it's true the Jazz deviated from the norm and went to screen-roll down the stretch more often than post-ups for Al - they did try to get the ball to Al several times and KG successfully denied him the ball (precisely how Joakim Noah fronted Al in the post in crunchtime of the Feb-8 loss to...
