jazz identity under Corbin

Jazz ID under Corbin? No one knows. Unfortunately, that includes Corbin and everyone else. But lets give him 4 or 5 years to figure it out.

Well it didn't work for the bulls with Boozer. When did he ever play defense even with the benching. My hell how were the jazz going to win if they couldn't score. No one on that team could defend worth a crap exept Ak and Brewer, exept they at times gambled too much which hurt the team defensively at times.

Simply put if the Jazz didn't score the jazz didn't win with or without Boozer.

Never coached before I take it. Of course you benching a player for even a short period of time gets his attention. And Boozer did play better help defense for the Bulls than he ever did for the Jazz. Boozer was capable of playing better defense and Sloan gave him a free pass, which affected the whole team.

First of all you are wrong when you say Sloan gave Booz " a free pass". I can recall games where Millsap ended up logging heavy mins because Booz couldnt get it going.
All said and done, Jazz didnt have options like the Bulls did. Their offense was heavily dependent on Booz and he delivered more often than not in that department.

And,how much beter was his help defense with the Bulls?
Here is an article from May 2011

For those fans who directed their ire at Carlos Boozer's defensive effort, the Bulls' shocking end to an otherwise stellar season brought maximum response from Boozer in at least one category — disappointment over not playing.

"One hundred percent," Boozer said, when asked if it was hard to sit out the fourth quarter of Thursday's closeout loss. "I wanted to be out there to help my team get a chance to win. But everybody on the bench, we cheered the team on that was out there. We're a team. This is the Bulls versus the Heat, not one or two guys sitting out in the fourth quarter for whatever reason.

"We support each other. That's how we are. You saw me and Jo (Joakim Noah) and everyone else on the bench jumping up and down, supporting the team that's out there. That team was doing a great job. They had a 12-point lead with three minutes to go. If I'm coaching, I'm doing the same thing. I'm riding with those guys because we're winning."

Boozer had only five points on 1-for-6 shooting and six rebounds in the first three quarters, during which he played 26 minutes, 13 seconds. Thanks in large part to his monster Game 3 effort of 26 points and 17 rebounds, he averaged a double-double for the series with 14.4 points and 10.2 rebounds.

But his defensive deficiencies forced the Bulls to cross-match him on Joel Anthony and put Noah on Chris Bosh. And his lack of strong rotations and help defense continued a season-long theme.

The parts in bold tell the story. Bulls just had other options around Boozer. And in spite of that Booz averaged close to 32 mins per gamewith the Bulls. If he was benched often his mins should have been far lower than that. He averaged only 33 mins or so over his tenure with the Jazz so the Jazz didnt play him a whole lot more than the Bulls, despite having limited options

So, next time know your facts before you blurt out something nonsensical
