Did We Give Up on Kanter and Hood Too Soon

[Miggs]

I’m gonna say this and I hope I’m wrong or proven wrong. I love Quin. He’s a top 10 coach in my eyes and maybe top 5. But I think he’s really ****ing intense. Too consistently. He does seem to have a sense of humor but even then there’s an intensity to him.

It concerns me because I feel as a coach there are times you need to use a very human element and calm the players, or at other times, pull them aside and give them a vote of confidence. I definitely think he attempts to do things like this if you watch him over the course of a game but there’s so much intensity all the time. I never see him taking a step back and taking a different approach and humanizing himself more in order to reach those players.

It was a concern to me when he was hired (he was known for this intensity wearing on players and teams) and it’s a slight concern to me now.

Having read an interesting article about the Blazers coaching staff and how they’ve worked hard with Lillard on emotional intelligence over the last year or so, I feel it’s something Quin himself and the players could use. To me they’re interrelated.

I give Portland and Kanter credit. He looks far thinner to me which is what he needed imo as do most nba players. It’s what Jae could def use.

The Jazz business model would not allow acquisitions like this. They have guaranteed contracts and let's finish the year with them and hope for paydays in the form of playoff games. This year we only got two games so the model failed and the cash vanished.

I think Hood could be back in a Jazz Jersey next year. His value has dropped from when he was in Utah and his ego has also been put in check without his confidence being diminished, but his shot is still there. I think his shooting and being able to back up the 2 or 3 would be invaluable.

Portland always dumpster dives for our old garbage

Now you wana act like kanter and hood are world beaters? Hahaha. Kanter is a total dunce, he is acting like hes playing with a sepperated shoulder to add drama to his life like everything else he does. Guys a clown. Does anybody actually buy his ******** of playing with a sepperated shoulder? Lmao!

 

[yamers]

Ps im sure PG13s shoulder was in the same state as his last game, but ofc kanter a total **** head has to act like his is absolutely ****ed by posting photos of hom constantly reminding us how his shoulder is hurt.

This is the same clown who went to an okc jazz game out of spite lmao!

You didnt see the post where snyder was voted as a top 5 coach players want to play for in the league? Did you miss that part?

Or do you just make your own assumptions?

Doing coke will do that.

Anus Kancer was a moron with no defense. Hood couldn't be the man here so it is what it is ....

I think Quinn does excels with certain personalities you could call Jazz type DNA. I think Sloan also had this same characteristic. I don't know if it's the best all the time, but I do enjoy his style.

If you guys think this is bad just imagine what would happen with Exum in 3 - 5 years time if the Jazz traded him like half the board wants and he got himself healthy with another team and actually strung together a couple of seasons.
