Really? Ask yourself--if Deron hadn't exchanged words that one fateful February, would Jerry have hit the road? DW didn't "force" Sloan out. But he gave 'ol Jer a reason to not put up with players anymore. And thanks to #8, rebuilding started earlier and is ahead of schedule. Not that I...

That's what his wife said

How heartwarming that Big Al can let down his defenses both on and off the court.

Poor Deron; he can't even be a Prima Donna right. While he pouted/mouthed his way to the Jersey shore (and maybe to the Brooklyn Bridge, if Mark Cuban doesn't bail him out), CeePeeThree diva'd himself a ticket to Tinseltown to play with that Kia guy who can dunk. And unlike Chrissy, Deron...

Yes, but that just might've had at least as much to do with the ineptitude of the Nets than the skill of the Jazz starters.

And Sloan had two Hall of Famers/top 50 players to hitch a ride to who helped him hide his in-game ineptitude for nearly 20 years. He was a good motivator and probably a good teacher, but a poor game manager and not a particularly good player developer; Stock, Malone, and more recently Millsap...

The principle of putting out the best combinations on a given night would have circumvented any lack of experience for 4 overtimes--and probably would've avoided any or all of them anyway. It's the same ol' thing; Corbin put Kanter and Favors together for a large chunk of the second quarter...

Yeah, for fair-weather Zulus.

No apologies. He sucked before (especially for his sticker price); has been doing better recently. Passing more, but not enough. When he's open and it's a good shot, OK to take it. But he doesn't run an offense, and he doesn't empower his teammates. See the dunk above. Defense seems less of a...

Well, if Kanter is God ...

Cute quip, but it isn't hindsight. Corbin did just what I've been pounding the table for for years. If I had just come up with this theory after the fact, then your wittiness would hold water. The only time required was for him to do what makes sense (and for enough players to be injured...

Yes, it's possible that the Lakers particularly sucked last night. That doesn't say much about Corbin's coaching, although maybe he said something obvious about seizing the opportunity. Yes, CJ played surprisingly good defense. It might have been an anomaly; hopefully it's a trend. That may...

Oh, Kudos to Corbin after it was blatantly obvious games ago--and after CJ had blown wins and Hayward was take-it-or-leave-it.

We all know also that leaning on Boozer to provide points (at the price of his pathetic defense) was often a counterproductive strategy, as has been leaning on Al for scoring if his defense is subpar. If Corbin had been stressing D, he'd have been insisting more D out of Big A--and playing the...

Endorsement of a coach who didn't play the young bigs more until a starting big was a DNP-PR-- and didn't play the young rookie SG more until the aging starting SG was a DNP-gimp? Not quite.

Kapono's a hopper not because of his tats, but because he can barely walk

Wow--some people believed that the real Craig Manscill was posting? I thought that JazzFanz was against the Honor Code. But it would be cool if Barack did join Jazz Nation, even for a few political posts. That is what she said.

That's easy to say with 20-20 hindsight; D-Jordan had serious red flags then.

After that fast-break pass, I'm all for putting him at the point guard spot. Best lineup: Burks-Hayward-Howard-young big (Kanter or Favors)-'vet' scorer (Al or Millsap)

Do we really have recent evidence that Tinsley is a good defender? As I recall, all we have is one game with major minutes where he was pwned when on D. I agree that he should be playing more, and I am shocked repeatedly that Harris gets to stay out there for so long, especially when he is...
