Jazz still not watching film together

I harped on this last season, and the season before. The coaching staff and the team do not watch film together. This blows my ****ing mind! If there is any reason to watch film, this season is one of them.

Deron:

Problem is not personal relationships but on the court:

It's just on the court. We [need to] spend some more time together. Maybe we need to watch the film. That would be nice.

Usually never get together as a team and watch game film:

No. Not really.

Something you'd like to change:

It'd be nice. That's one thing I've talked about in years past.

Who you've talked to:

It doesn't matter.

Well Imperial Sloan is a big believer of "it's either his way or the highway."

Edited to add:

On any other team, if the star player "suggested" that he'd like to watch film with the team, it would be done. I mean, to not watch game film when the players are used to that from a scholastic perspective is incredibly dumbfounding.

Cue: Sloan Brow the apologist.
 
I'm not sure if anyone here watched that Spike Lee documentary about Kobe, but I found it very interesting how the team watched film of the first half of the game and made the proper adjustments the second half. It was also interesting to see how Kobe approached his teammates and taught them on the floor during the game.

I'm actually somewhat shocked that they don't watch film together.

AS far as I know, the Jazz started using some new techniques determining, evaluating the players' effort on the court and using game films last season. Maybe they stopped using them.

Providing players with a score for the players effort (or evaluating it among coaches) is a positive thing but by no means a replacement for actually breaking things down for players as a team or one-on-one with a coach.

Ya know, it was clear from the games that Sloan was deficient in his adjustments during games, but this news is even beyond what my perception of Sloan was. Breaking down game film as a team, just like analyzing matchups on a given night, are Coaching 101. And evidently the Jazz don't do them--at least not much.

Adjustments. Quite a concept. Think about it, Jerry. Oh, and think about not playing two PFs or two centers together as much. You did both in the first two disastrous games of the season.
 
Earlier, Jefferson was talking about Williams and he going over the film. So, the film seems to be available to the players.

Does anyone think that the coaches said, "You can have two players in this room, but not the whole team"?

With the bargaining agreement, the practice time is limited. Would this film time be coming during practice time? Is that the best use of practice time? Can players be mandated to watch film out of practice time? Are coaches even allowed to lead such a film session?

Sloan may very well be throwing away an oppotunity. But until someone can answer those questions, we don't really know. I know Williams is a passionate, dedicated player who I suspect doesn't care about the restrictions of the labor agreement, but team management is required to care about these issues.
 
I could care less what they watch together. The way this season has started they could be spending hours a day together watching film and something else would be wrong. Only thing that will make Deron happy is W's.
 
This film puzzle baffles me. I would think it crucial to spend a little time watching game film, to anticipate pacing, gaps, floor spacing, habits, flow of offense, all sorts of things.
