Liked seeing Alec Burks play and shoot with confidence. Good adjustment finally letting Foye orchestrate more of the offense himself (Foye has more natural PG skills than Burks in the halfcourt) and it took alot of the ball-handling/instigating-the-offense pressure off Burks so he could go out...

Wow I appreciate the compliments. I really enjoy discussing Jazzbasketball, not pointing out what a coach or player is doing wrong but things are what they are right now and at some point I felt like my posts here were becoming redundant - as I'm probably more frustrated with the current state...

Yep, not only would they really get after teams defensively - but they wouldn't necessarily have the talent to throw the ball to 1 guy and let him score with mediocre efficiency ... so they'd have to execute the offense. Hayward is creating more but for much of the season it's been amazing how...

I understand why Bolerjack, Harpring and Locke (to some extent) are unwilling to be overly critical about the franchise. Primarily because they're employed by them - but also because of the close proximity they have with the team (coaches and players). That said, my problem with Locke is he'll...

The bolded part is alot closer to the truth. Forget rankings for a moment 2009-10: PPG: 104.2 Pts/100possessions: 110.7 2012-13: PPG: 98.0 Pts/100possessions: 106.5 Bottom line: The Jazz are a less efficient offensive team than they were from 2006-10 and they are also now a significantly worse...

And defensively we're not just a layup line to start and end games. Clips would have to kick-in some extra salaries (besides just Butler) to make-up difference...perhaps Jazz could agree to an instant buyout or something...but that's the type of move that can get this franchise out of quicksand.

Welcome to your 2012-13 Jazz. J.J. Hickson 21&11 on 11 FG attempts. Goodnight.

When Kanter entered the game to start the 4th-quarter the Jazz were down 5. When he left the Jazz were down 3. Utah's starters were unable to close that gap over the final 6+ minutes of the game. The kid obviously couldn't throw the ball in the ocean tonight but I'm not sure how his 6-minute...

Len Bias > Locke Bias.

Hello all, just wanted to say I share many of the same frustrations with coaching/rotations/minutes. Also wanted to share a humorous twitter moment from David Locke last night. We all saw how Millsap completely dominated Luke Babbit in the 2nd-quarter. Well at halftime Locke translates that...

There isn't a more ridiculous or inaccurate myth amongst Jazzfanz than the one that states Corbin and Sloan both utilized rigid and unflexible substitution patterns, blind allegiance to aging veteran players, and possess identical basketball philosophies.

Payton's career > Reggie's. Not by much, and not saying Reggie wasnt worthy of 1st-ballot status, but GP is a 1st-ballot Hall-of-Famer.

Probably more attributed to adjusting to the NBA 3pt-line than shooting woes. Hornacek's FG%'s were at their customary abnormally high levels (anti-CJ-esque). Don't really like the Hornacek-Hayward comparisons as their game's aren't really similar.

I used to only listen to Locke when he would have interesting guest interviews but now I've stopped because I can't stand listening to him, period. I disagree with many of his opinions which I find ill-conceived and frankly just plain wrong. It is what it is, some like him, some strongly...

With the 16th Pick in the 1984 NBA Draft the Utah Jazz drafted some point guard out of Gonzaga who turned out to be pretty good.

Utah also kicked in a late 1st-rounder. Regardless, an absolute steal.

I like Scott Layden as a person and appreciate what he did in his first stint as Utah GM, but he's not right for the position with a rebuilding Utah team now. In NY he lost virtually all of his general manager credibility, and that's a major issue when it comes to making deals in the future...

Definitely Amaechi. Was supposed to give Stockton&Malone the first legit scoring center of their career but was woefully out of shape, allowed his skillset to deteriorate and had no love for the game. A complete and utter waste.

I like the way this year's roster is shaping up, love the potential of the core-4 and expect the team to wrack up 45-50 wins - but IMO there's a huge difference between having a bunch of good players and having one of the 8-best players in the league you can run your offense through. I don't...

This, this and this.
