can one of the coaches on jazzfanz explain to me why the jazz defending the PnR as they are?

Ikr, tell em Mister Wells. The worse we play the better the chances are we send Corbin "Pooped in your Turban" to Bombay.

They are who we thought they were!

THAT

while passing on hornaceck who is in the playoff hunt while being considered coy. and also his best player bledsoe is out more than half games. and has a les talented roster.


think horny could have been a 4th seed with

burke/whatever
burks/DMC/whoever
hayward/williams/whoever
millsap/kanter/evans and gobert
favors/kanter/evans and gobert.

BEING 4TH SEED WITH THAT TEAM would have been way better than this psuedo tanking.


the biggest blunder in jazz history
 
Why did they choose Ty?

He was here, he was known, he was Jerry's boy. Therefore it was easy and comfortable to choose Ty. It certainly did not involve any real hardnosed review of coaching talent available at the time.
 
I clearly blame Kanter for bad PnRoll defense. Favors knows how to defend the PnRoll and has obviously been coached how to do it. The coaches have coached Kanter a million times how to defend it...he gets in the game and just can't do it. Wait, did I just blame the players and not the coach...never mind...Ty sucks!
 
I recall the Jazz trying to play like Toronto did at the start of the season by blitz PnR ball handlers. But Kanter struggles to do. I am not sure if Gobert can either. Personally I think Gobert was dropping too low last night against Toronto.

Think they could have ever been a contender with Millsap, Hayward and Favors as their "Big3?"

I think that was clearly a consideration...Jazz were in negotiations with Paul and DeMarre right up until the GS deal was made. In the end, Lindsey won out. The Jazz would sacrifice a year of winning in order to bring in a top-10 pick. And they will still have the financial ability to bring in a player of Millsap's caliber this summer with all their expirings coming off the books.

So yes, I do think the Jazz could be competing for a playoff spot, but no, I don't think the talent would be there with Millsap, Favors, Burke, Burks and Hayward to be 34-17 and be a 4th seed. Lindsey was ABSOLUTELY right to do what he did. Add a top-10 pick to the roster, throw in GS' pick and Neto, then go out and add a starting-caliber FA. And THAT roster just might be capable of rising from the ashes like a Phoenix (or Portland).
 
I know that you can not always switch on pick n rolls (due to mismatches that would occur) but i think that anytime there is a chance to switch, then you should.

For instance: last night rushs man (Ross i believe) set a screen for burks man (derozan) and derozan got to the paint as burks tried to fight through the screen and rush did nothing.
In situations like that, i think the jazz should always switch.

Also, and its just my philosophy, I would coach guys to go under screens most of the time..... exception being when some is really feeling it or when it a great shooter like curry.
I would give teams long 2's and hope they miss, rather than fight over the screen and have the ball handler and the pick man with room to move toward the hoop.
