Right, Foye did play solid ball the second half. But when Foye is playing for another team next year and we're still trying to figure out what Burks is all about, the organization will have no one to blame but themselves.

I hear you. The one thing I've gathered about how Corbin is running things is about how players have to earn their minutes, I think Foye earned his tonight, and I don't think Burks got the chance to earn his in this game. So I don't fault Corbin for playing Foye the amount he did given his philosophy on dividing up minutes. I think there were opportunities for Burks to get in the game though, at the expense of Tinsley and Carroll rather than Foye, playing Hayward at the three and Burks at the 2 for example, I don't think Hayward got enough burn either tbh.
 
We humiliated the Mavs on the boards.

I can't believe we got Marvin Williams for Harris.

We're a very deep team - this is going to be the most fun Jazz season since the late-1990s.

It may be The Mailman just being The Mailman; but the other day on NBATV Karl Malone said Burks should be the starting PG for The Jazz. With Mo Williams starting at the 2.
 
Foye giving props to the fans for supporting them. Good way to endear yourself.

Definitely an interesting idea, Hayward off the bench last year was dynamite.

Is the downgrade of Foye as point guard equal to Tinsley? Certainly an argument to be made for it. But Foye is so much better with the ball not in his hands. Can't wait for Watson to get back.

Watson?! is he really any better?.... i mean honestly... i dont like tin, but i dislike watson just as much...
 
Defense in the third quarter turned this game around. And the biggest change was from AJ. He had two or three sequences where he stepped out on pick and roll and harassed Collison long enough for an effective stop. I think he even had two tips where we turned his defensive pressure into fast breaks to get us back to square early in the period. If Al can play like that some of the time, maybe he can smell the blood and play defense on a consistent basis. If so, watch out...we will be a very solid playoff team -- 3-4 seed. Let's hope that the young guns rub off on him and he plays with defensive intensity night and night out.

Thought that Kanter played great, but ran out of steam in the second half. I don't think that the preseason outburst was an illusion, he is looking like a legit 3rd pick, rather than some bum who got lucky in a weak draft and got picked up higher than warranted. All I can say after tonight is Pass The Koolaid.
 
I'm with the others who are fuming over Kanter and Favors seeing limited minnies and Alex Burke getting refuse minutes? What dross. Corbin, a true master of foresight. This is the nincompoop we extended?

I don't hate Foye. He belongs on the court. Tinsley is the one that I hate. He is slow, turns the ball over, doesn't play defense and can't shoot. Why is he playing again?

Because he's the best passer/orchestrator of the offense on the team.
