Game #4 - Utah Jazz @ Memphis Grizzlies

I just think that separating those 2 a little helps get Hayward more touches. I also think that Favors would be great as a complimentary offensive player getting offensive rebounds with the starters.

I don't disagree with your thinking. And the second unit needs help that either Al or Sap could provide. I just see a coherent system as being much more important than deciding which players will play YMCA ball on the 1st unit, and which players will play YMCA ball on the second.

I agree with that. Jazz need an offense. It has progressively gotten worse since Corbin came in. Now that could be due to the players he's had to work with, but it does need to change.

Now I see what you were saying originally. The problem is they don't have AJ in the second unit. Can't replicate an offense when your offense is... pass it inside, stand around and watch Jefferson.

Incidentally, that is why Marvin is having such blah numbers imo
 
Thats what we get with him. He is OK playing second fiddle. He is one of the least of our teams worries imo.

Anybody, ANYBODY, that unproductive for 30 minutes is officially in the 'worry' category unless he's playing defense like Tony Allen which Marvin most definitely is not.
 
I liked that Hayward moved well without the ball and stayed aggressive. He got a little out of control on a few drives but he'll get better at staying under control and drawing fouls.
 
From Locke, trying hard to escape his shill duty: "I am having a hard time wrapping my head around who this team is. In key possessions to stop a run what do we do? Are we going to Al Jefferson left block? If so, why he is he shooting the 5th most amount of shots in a game. Do we have a go to play? Should Mo Williams be leading the team in shot attempts every night?"

That's a very tactful way of saying our offense is a mess. In another of his factoids, he pointed out that after 4 games neither Al nor Paul have led the team in points. And they're like 3 and 4 in shots. Mo has taken 16 shots a game, Foye is averaging 10. And that doesn't take into account real shots versus box score shots. This is absurd.
 
And not that it would matter in Ty's offense, or that we would have resigned him, but AK is just killing in Minny. Better than any player we currently have. I will start DVR'ing some of these games to see how they're using him. But my guess is he hasn't shot one curl all season. My other guess is he's beasting cutting to the basket like Ronnie Brewer used to do when we had a multifaceted offense. And my last guess is they're posting him like we should have done the whole time he was here.
 
Wow, I'm ****ing shocked that Corbin doesn't know how to orchestrate an offense. Shocked.
 
what!?!?!?! Corbin hasn't done anything subtle to the offense?!?!?!?! We don't have an identity!?!?!?!
 
We really need to bring back Sloan and Johnson.

Corbin sucks.
