Game #10 - Utah Jazz at Philadelphia 76ers - 11/16/2012 5:00 PM MST Root Sports, ESPN

This has nothing, nothing, nothing to do about players.

The only question now is when the shills of the Jazz media (looking at you, Locke) will address the elephant in the corner of the room: We might have the worst half court offense in the league.

We have too many good players to ever be the worst statistically. But we should be much better than we are, and it's clear Ty has no idea how to fix the problem.
 
Props to Carroll. He stinks, and I loathe the idea he will get more minutes after tonight, and he'll never shoot as well again, but the reality is he's a great guy to have on a team that doesn't run an offense. But where most coaches would have called tonight's game a 'spark,' Ty will put him into the regular rotation 5 games too long.

If there are 5 worse starting point guards than Mo Williams, I want the list.

Steve Blake, anybody on the Kings, Ramon Sessions, Mario Chalmers, AJ Price, Jeff Teaque, Luke Ridnour, Linsanity, brandon Knight, Etauwn Moore, Jameer Nelson, and Jose Calderon.

If Mo sucks so bad why isn't Burks given a chance?

A better question is, can you think of 5 worse coaches than Ty Corbin?

Or 5 softer bigs than Jefferson?

Or 5 reasons why Burks shouldn't be playing?
 
had Damien Lillard been drafted by the Jazz his greatest stat would be DNP.

That's saying something. Ty needs to go.

portland isn't afraid to play their lotto pick big mins. Why are the Jazz afraid to play their lotto picks big mins?

it's a huge crime that Favors isn't playing 30+ mins, Kanter 20+, and Burks 20+.
 
This Locke comment cracks me up: "Hayward and Marvin were quiet tonight. I have a hard time understanding if they are to blame or if the Jazz reverted back to throwing it in the left block and when that happens they don’t get many chances."

Locke is there. Every night. And yet it's obvious he knows nothing. Going into the post tonight against Philly's terrible frontline made sense. But if there is no design to have Hayward and Marvin crash the basket without the basketball, we get reduced to a YMCA team that watches the Big Man try to score.

When is Locke going to admit the problem is Ty? The reality is I don't think he can given his relationship with the Jazz. At the same time, the longer he ignores this, the more he loses credibility.

What is there to hate about Carroll?

Comes off the bench and plays great defense (ball hound, creates havoc, goes after everything, can guard at least three positions), has seemingly limitless energy, hits open shots, plays within the offense (whatever that is), has a surprisingly good handle, isn't an aging veteran stealing minutes, has improved his game since he came into the league, and doesn't complain if he sits on the bench for two weeks. Jesus, I would love it if he was starting again.
 
There are few things that come to mind after watching tonight's game.

1. IMO the Jazz had a real shot to win the game until Mo decided to shoot a 3 when the Jazz had a 3-2 fast break with like 3 or so minutes left in the game. The Jazz were down four at that point and never recovered. If they could have got the basket there it would have been a one possession game. His decision making down the stretch is horrid, and the Jazz desperately need a real PG in the worst way. Watching Holliday crap all over him was fun too, sigh.

2. Hard to win games when the opposition shoots 10-18 from 3 point land. Some of it was just fine shooting (the whole first quarter it seemed like the 6ers couldn't miss) but a lot of it was the typical Jazz "let the other team destroy you from 3 point land" defense that's aggravating to watch.

3. Carroll had the game of his life. The bench played really well, but Ty in his grand Ty fashion brought back the starters and they proceeded to suck it up at the end of the 2nd.
 
Seriously, I feel like every road game we play is the opposing team's best game of the season.
