Jazz at Nets, 3/26, 5:30PM MT--KFNZ, ROOT, WFAN, YES

On Corbin's rotations, i'm going to try my best to throw a positive vibe on this: He's doing it to up Jefferson's value until he hits free agency. In return, Jefferson spends extra time to teach Kanter and Favors some his old school post moves. I won't deny that Jefferson has some great post talent, but I just hope he doesn't teach them anything about defense. Jefferson knows that he is not the face of the team in the future, so Corbin is just giving him minutes to be happy. I expect Harris and Millsap to be dealt with in the off-season because they are not vocal leaders. I'm not sure if Millsap is spending much time "training" the rookies as much as Jefferson does. Ideally i'll keep Millsap and trade Jefferson and allow Favors to take the center position. I highly doubt this is going to happen, so enjoy another year of Big Al.

This is the best team forum I've seen ever. They photoshop players heads, use gifs, and best of all, it's super funny in a depressing way.

Good find. This picture (and the caption) cracked me up:

Best Free Agent Class Ever

Classic. Really, I admire your steadfastness. The other meltwagoners haven't had a lot to say since the starters re-blew out the Nets.

The bench built up the lead, Favors and Burks kicked ***. Even Carroll was looking good. Then that 3rd quarter was a disaster. You saw how tired we were after just a few mins into the 3rd. In came in Favors, Burks, and Watson, and basically nothing changed (since Watson was completely worthless). Entered the game Millsap, Harris, and Jefferson who were reenergerzied and recommitted and the game was blown open.

Right around 6-7 mins left in the 3rd was when the Nets really made a run with our starters dying.

Corbin should have subbed early and often in this game only playing the starters in bursts. He should have subbed with about 8-9 mins left in the 3rd quarter. He should have given Jefferson and Millsap blows with Favors and Kanter. Seriously, against this pathetic NJ team, Favors could have played 25-30 mins (not 18) and it wouldn't have hurt us. Kanter could have played 15-20 (not 9) and it wouldn't have hurt.

Plus, Ty's lack of timeouts only fed to their run.

Lastly, has Watson ever looked better than Tinsley? Didn't think so. Watson is the 3rd best PG on this team, behind Harris and Tinsley. When Harris comes out, TINSLEY should come in. Not Watson. Why Ty is playing Watson over Tinsley is beyond idiotic. But go ahead, defend your boy, I DARE YOU. Prove me wrong you little ****.
 
Meltwagoners: people who complain about unnecessary mistakes and root for the Jazz to get better, instead of blind and worthless homerism for the sake of making youself feel loyal and honorable.

Jazz fans are the only people watching the NBA that don't think the team has improved over the last year. Literally everyone but you internet melters are in admiration of this playoff run and how the team plays together and for each other. It's really funny watching you reach and reach for something to bitch about.

You (sic) are pissed that your new high picks aren't getting enough burn but won't give much credit to the coaches for the development of Burks, Hayward and Favors, or how well the team has been playing overall. The Jazz are legitimately chasing the 5 seed on a 6-1 tear including LA/OKC but your coach is trash. Literally everyone else paying attention is impressed.

I provided a counter to the prevailing melty mindset here about the OT game and have yet to have somebody give me an example of a respected coach who would make subs in OTs for the sake of rest. Nothing. Thanks for that overwhelming argument. But I'm just a crazy homer huh. Okay.

Posters were acting like Watson's play was super destructive and Corbin was just nuts to play him. Just a little while ago he was a fan favorite. It's pathetic. Corbin cannot win with you people. There is literally nothing he can do that would make you happy. Nothing.

If he'd played Tinsley he's alienating Watson and now you have an excuse to say he's losing his vets. It's hilarious how a surprising strength of the team becomes a bash on TC. The overwhelming reaction to Corbin bringing most of the starters back in early in the 4th was extremely negative. They immediately and dramatically reversed the momentum of the game. Yet even with those extra minutes he didn't plan on none of those guys went much over 30 and there were no injuries. SOB Corbin.

If the team tanks like a lot of you want Corbin has zero chance of building trust. Zero. That trust is pretty important if you want to truly develop players within a system. It's way more important to develop the team we have than keep throwing dynamite at it for the sake of another draft.

Corbin is a very good coach and the evidence is how hard his players play for him and for each other. The wins are now following that which is the natural progression when the talent is there. They are learning how to close out games which is what playoff teams do. The fact is this team is pretty good and dangerous to any opponent. Just because they will sputter doesn't mean the coach sucks, it means they are still learning how to win.

Go ahead and hate on the man, you are just clowning yourself.
 
Lastly, has Watson ever looked better than Tinsley? Didn't think so. Watson is the 3rd best PG on this team, behind Harris and Tinsley. When Harris comes out, TINSLEY should come in. Not Watson. Why Ty is playing Watson over Tinsley is beyond idiotic. But go ahead, defend your boy, I DARE YOU. Prove me wrong you little ****.

Cute. This team isn't using the PG as much of a scorer. In any case neither is tremendously more valuable than the other at this point so you have to get Watson on the court to make his case. Tinsley has been a great surprise and he's been very good. It's a GOOD thing to have this "problem". Neither of these guys is anywhere near Harris so it's not a big deal.

Of course you would crown him though, you knee jerked yourself in the crotch calling Hayward a bust and ragequitting the team. Here we are in March with two viable backup vet PGs, Hayward playing great and a nice seeding within reach. Super intimidating post btw.
 
Pretty funny, but parr for the course here on Jazzfanz

Thing is, most fanz here have set their agenda and their story about what is happening. They got pissed and they want to stay pissed.
Last thing they want to do is admit they are wrong.

Same with last night. Jazz lose a close game. Fanz here can't accept that the jazz lose a game, so they get pissed and blame Corbin and say that they will be proven right when the jazz lose big against NJ because the starters are tired.
Tonight, they are proven wrong, the starters do well and we win the game. That SHOULD make everyone happy, but for these fanz, they had their story crushed, so they are pissed off.

No team goes undefeated. There are always gonna be losses to bad teams every year. But some fanz just can't take it. They want to stay negative because that is what they are. They can't enjoy what the jazz are doing because they already went all in on their negativity.It's too bad. Most fans I know are actually enjoying all of this. I know I am. Playoffs here we come.

It's like the silly fan in Major League 2. He gets so mad at the team when they have some rough times, that he can't even enjoy it when the team wakes up and starts winning. He still goes to all the games just so he can tell all the fans that they are stupid for believing and yell at all the players for sucking.
At the end, when the team is on the verge, he finally stops it and wants to join all the happy fans in the celebration. They all look at him like "what an idiot" but then shrug and say "oh well"
 
Could be worse though. We could be net fans.

They traded favors, kanter, Harris, 8th pick of this draft (fingers crossed), 4-7 pick of this draft( barring a lotto win). For dwill and Gerald Wallace both of whom will not be nets next year. What a complete cluster ****.

These guys have the best material to deal with: 1) A bad coach and bad overall talent. 2) Stubborn superstar with a questionable future. 3) A GM that insists on winning now, gives up draft pick that's going to be around 3-5 to Portland for a 30 year old Wallace. 4) Dwightmare. 5) Deron trade
I feel bad for them.....I'd wish them the best and hope they get Anthony Davis, but Billy would probably just trade Davis for something else stupid.
 
Deron wants everything his way, and when he doesn't get his way, then he sulks.

Problem is that he can't make up his mind.
He wants to be the man, but then he wants a whole bunch of great players around him so he doesn't have to do it all.
He wanted to be in a big market, but now that he's there, suddenly winning is important again.

The NBA should just give Melo, Deron, Bosh, and Lebron some rings to shut them up. None of them seem to want to actually EARN them.

Deron is quickly starting to turn into the NBAs version of "Randy Moss"... I play when I want to play... I'm starting to be glad we got rid of him... Seems like a good move now...

Hey Deron, why don't you take a page from Michael Jordan?? He played with a bunch of 2nd rate scrubs aside from Scotty Pippen too... But he was a LEADER... Something you will never be... Oh and he's got about 6 championships to show for it!
