Does the team ever play zone?

I haven't seen them play a minute of zone this year. But, I've probably only seen a quarter of the minutes played.
 
Zone is for weenies. I hate zone defense. I don't allow my intramural team to even play it, even though it makes complete to do so.
 
In most cases zone defense in the NBA is worthless. Nba players are just too good of shooters.

Except for the Jazz.
 
My bet is the Jazz see more zone D played against them than any other team in the league. Seems like the last time I saw the Jazz play zone AK was on the team.
 
Seems like the formula for zone to work is having a lot of speed and length to bother passing lanes and to be able to close out on shooters.
I could see a long fast line up (harris, burks, hayward, evans, favors) being effective in a zone.
When i watched syracuse the other day it seemed like they have alot of length and speed, which made thier zone look very effective.

Right about Syracuse and it's why they miss Fab Melo so much. Also, wishIknewhowtofishonjazz, that's all Syracuse practices - they have it down to a science. I agree if the Jazz are going to go zone, that's the lineup.
