Game #39 Jazz at Pistons 5:30 Mtn.

[The Norm]

On offense, we basically won that game on post Iso's. We can win that way, but not very often. Some nice interior passing between Al and Sap put a little shine on the turd, but it's ridiculous how many possessions we have that don't even sniff a shot for 18 seconds.

We never get easy shots on O. We look best when guys like Burks, or even Foye, just create a shot on the perimeter (not that I'm advocating for Foye.) We run almost no PnR, we never cut, and 80% of our sets look like this: (Very labored) pass into the post -- double -- pass out to the high 2/3 on the perimeter -- said 2/3 has nothing to do with the ball because we're not running anything off the ball.

As Matt Harpring astutely pointed out, "Do we even run a ****ing offense?"

Well, there's no team below us in the standings that shouldn't be below us in the standings. The Jazz can make the playoffs if they really want to. The team is playing better, despite the stupid set back in Atlanta yesterday.

Did you see how well it worked?

Jazz were up by double digits, and then corbin made subs. Next thing ya know jazz are up 2.

Explain to me what watson did well there at the end

I understand Al for the free throws, but they won't start fouling until 30 seconds left or so and there was ZERO reason to bring Watson back in. Still neither should've came back at that moment as our defense went to **** immediately.

He brought in a ball handler and a guy who was playing well (not to mention free throw shooter) when Detroit went all out press.

I understand the ball handler a little, but that can kill a players confidence if you take him out for one mistake even when he's having a great game. What I don't understand is Favors coming out. When Al was doing well, Knight was in as PG and not getting the dribble penetration that Bynum was. Burks actually did a better job on Bynum than Watson did, I might add. Bynum starts tearing us a new one the second both of those guys came in. Corbin is craven and simply falls back to the vets when he feels the pressure. As a contrast example, Rick Carlisle kept a very weird line-up in during the final game of the NBA Playoffs that was a good matchup that he hadn't played a ton throughout the series (it was something like Barea, Terry and no Dirk). He kept them in way longer than I would have imagined, and they went on a huge run. This was in the biggest game of his life and was not afraid to go with what was working. Corbin is cowardly for the most part, and that is one of the major reasons we lose.

Watson brought back in and gave up 3 layups and clanked a 20 footer. Also picked up his dribble on our half and gave it to Gordon to get it across mid court in 4 seconds.

Oh yeah... That was the last 2 minutes of the game only!

 

[fishonjazz]

I really didn't get a chance to watch tonight or last nights game. Why in God's green earth has Kanter only played 7 and 8 minutes. What the hell?

Well kanter didn't miss a single shot, jefferson and sap both played major minutes just last night....... I guess ty is just an idiot?

I'm glad Watson has become the most universally hated player on the team. I've been on the hate wagon since last year.

So corbin wanted more ball handlers and he took burks out?... That doesn't make any sense when burks is one of the better ball handlers on the team. Seems like he should have taken a bad ball handler out of the game and bring in watson instead of take a good ball handler out to bring in watson.

 

[royzzz]

Didn't see the 1st half, was Tinsley injured?? If so Watson starting next game scares me to death.

Up

Answer please? Where's Tinsley? Injured? A spat against Corbin? Sickness?

What just blows my mind is that we don't even start an offense until like 14 or 12 seconds with Earl in. He is so slow to start the offense.

This is true... repped.

It's tough because I still like Watson the person, but I thought the same thing since last year as well. He's our 3rd best PG and should've been behind Tinsley the entire last season and this season.
