Gotta love the "he says one thing I don't like so I can ignore the twenty good things."

His job is to play when asked and not bitch. Considering the PR course every athlete goes through, that one bad thing is extremely telling, and it creates a problem for a coach that hasn't yet grabbed the reigns. Corbin bungled the situation and it has now set a very, very bad precedent.

Corbin's first test was probably Roger, actually. And he failed that one too.

I'm not sure who that quote was about, but this whole "the vets are pouting about PT" thing bugs the hell out of me, especially when the Jazz have a coach who seems to bow down to those whims. I'm not a Carroll hater by any means, and actually like him on the roster for his energy, but when a guy like that who is at best a mediocre rotation player (and at worse lucky to be in the league) can do this and have it work for him is extremely troubling.

To me, this is the most alarming thing about Corbin. To me, that is not a guy focused on winning. That is also not a guy that is too bright (I think it's obvious to most people what precedent that would set, and what subsequent real issues that would present).

Also, forgot to mention that Marvin was out there an hour before the Detroit game stretching, practicing his dribble, working with a trainer before anyone else came out. What is his timetable for a return?

 

[LifeOnaPlate]

And he seems to pick up his dribble a lot when it is not necessary.

I've been saying this for years. He frequently picks up the dribble right after he crosses half court, before he even has someone in mind to receive a pass as evidenced bythe fact that there is no one to pass theball to and someone has to come out and help him.

Yep I yelled at the TV when Watson came back in. I understood the thought process of it as Burks was having a great game and just made a mistake but wanted him to keep his positive overall outlook on the game (if he kept making mistakes would of ruined what was a really good game for him).
However when your ONLY option is Watson and how he has been playing since coming back from his knee injury to sub in then may need to rethink that otherwise normal sub idea.
