Game Thread: Suns @ Jazz 7PM MT Friday

What I'm saying is, I'm fine with getting a higher draft pick. I'm fine with a lot of losses. But not like this, where people just don't look like they have any confidence or like they're putting in much of an effort.

You think or thought being a ****ty team would be easy?
 
nothing in the game was easy to watch. I've always wondered why PnR is so easy for any team besides the Jazz

Want a tip?

Root against the Jazz. Most of the time I want to see how big of a deficit we can rack up. how many consecutive pts we give up without calling a timeout. how many times we can get burned by the same play/player. how much dumber our lineups can become (this game Corbin unleashed the Biedrins! Yes!) and how many times Hayward/Burks go one on one and chuck up some crappy shot.

It's literally the only way I can stand to watch this crap.
 
If there's anybody still defending Corbin, this game tonight settled it once and for all.

Two young, inexperienced teams chosen to finish in the bottom five... yet the Suns (chosen to finish dead last) are overachieving and may contend for a playoff spot. Even if they don't, Hornacek is bringing out a lot from this rag-tag group and they could have as many as four first round picks in next year's unprecedented draft. The Suns are without a doubt on the upswing.

The Jazz, projected by many to finish 5th to last, are in fact DEAD last. This team is sloppy, appears to have no direction, doesn't click well as a team, players repeatedly make the same mistakes, the young talent is not being developed the way it should be, mediocre vets still getting playing time for some reason, I could go on and on and on. It was painfully obvious tonight, as blatant as could be. Jeff Hornacek was clowning Ty Corbin all night long.

If you watched this game and still have any excuses for Ty, nothing in this world can fix what's wrong with you.

That being said, I know tanking for a star is what's best for this team long-term, so what the hell... keep Corbin around for the rest of the season because any other team is hard pressed to out-tank us as long as we've got Corbin running the show. It's just painful to see what a great up and coming coach we could have had in Hornacek, instead we're stuck (for now) with bone head Corbin.

In all honesty, I can't imagine what it would be like to root for this team to win.

The backcourt defensive problems make Kanter and Favors even worse. They really can not stop or even make slowier guards one and one, so when they got passed, it's so hard to rotate to cover them for big guys without fouls. Add the facts of Kanter's no instict and no lateral quickness, it's automatic pain to watch. Burke's an undersized rookie trying to be aggressive but generally not good enough to defend, Jefferson was defending well when he was playing in Nets against champion Pistons in playoffs and Hayward is in mood to run and get away of interviewers.

Also, i really do not know what Corbin made with this team in the off season. They really do not know what's going out there.
Will we switch after PnR or not?
Guard will pass under the screen or not?
The forward and guards will direct the opponent to the baseline side or let big guys meet them in the middle and pack them?
The rotation decision (whike Kanter is sucking and we were not able to defend anyone no Gobert? Less min for Favors? no let Gordon breath and watch him sucking over sucking?)
 
How refreshing to see a well coached team get the most out of his talent...too bad the Jazz never had a shot at a coach like that.

Did you watch ksl? They did a special on Hornacek. Supposedly he gets angry and throws stuff like clipboards when players don't play hard or execute like they're supposed to. He channels his inner "Jerry."

How dare he. Doesn't he know that he should "love his team?" And if they lose it's, "just one game?" I personally hate tough minded demanding coaches. Phx is going nowhere fast....
 
They want to turn Kanter into a defensive player and Favors into a offensive player

Neither is playing hard because they have quit on the coach.

You can throw Hayward on that list as well.

Corbin has lost this team. It's pretty obvious.
 
Lotto standings:

1 Utah
2 Milwaukee
3 New York
4 Brooklyn
5 Cleveland
6 Sacramento
7 Philadelphia
8 Orlando
9 Detroit
10 New Orleans
11 Minnesota
12 Golden State
13 LA Lakers
14 Memphis

According to DX, that means the Jazz draft:

1. Andrew Wiggins
12. Montrezl Harrell

Other names still available at 12 include:

Wayne Selden SG
James Young SF
Glenn Robinson SF
Andrew Harrison PG

Overall I'd say it's been a good night to be a Jazz fan.

Not good enough.

I want 3 picks. Maybe with 3 lotto picks or 2 lottos and 1 first rounder, a solid FA class, and a new coach.

Personally, I really like that Louisville guy. Harrell. I know he always leaves me satisfied. Very entertaining. Long and very athletic. Although... I do wonder if he's tall enough for the league? He might kind of a repeat of Jeremy Evans but with a decent jumper? Hmmm...

Maybe go with the Kansas SG, Selden? We need someone that can shoot. Does Robinson have to be a SF? I thought they played him there because Hardaway was there last year? I thought he would eventually be a SG in the league. I remember in the tournament last year he looked to me like he could be a SG with great leaping and shooting ability. He also had great chemistry with Trey Burke.

He's "lost" this team in the same way that I've "lost" my Ferrari collection. (Hint: I never had it)

Lack of execution at this point of the season is either poor coaching and/or unintelligent players. I'm taking the over on "and".
