Kings at Jazz, Jan 27 2014 7pm Game Thread

I guess Corbin would have never had such kind of strategy to bring an opponent average FT shooter so often to the free-throw line to try to reopen the game.
 
People getting upset over this win are so delusional, it's not even funny. I understand you want the number one pick and all, but how insane do you have to be to think that somehow, there was a chance a healthy Jazz team would lose, at home, to a Kings team missing Cousins and Gay? And played last night? And then had to fly in from Sacramento?

what hurts most about this win
is kanter and burks about 22 minutes each

For the love of God, I can't figure out Corbin. This is now the third year in a row where we've had to endure his fondness for playing ST loaner veterans over younger, presumably core players. I honestly can't think of any legit reason why RJ should be getting so much playing time at the expense of Burks, or why Kanter can't get consistent starter-like minutes. If Williams is in the Jazz longer-term plans that's one thing, but no way in hell RJ is. The whole things feels so sysiphusian. Just when we think we've got that veteran boulder at the top of the hill, it rolls back down and we have to do the damned thing all over again. I so want this to end and for the Jazz to get about the business of playing for the future. I just don't see any indication that Corbin's ever going to change, and I'm tired of it, and I've lost my patience. Corbin's a decent man, possibly a decent coach, but he needs to go. One cannot help but get the feeling watching the Suns that Hornacek would have done this differently and better. It's a depressingly frustrating thought.

Sorry, I got confused by so many people being angry. I forgot that the Jazz have a fan base that lives in a bizarro world where a loss is celebrated and a win mourned. Most teams' fans aren't like that.

I, and I suspect may others, am not mourning the win; I'm frustrated the fact that it was achieved by playing loaner veterans heavy minutes at the expense of what is presumably the future core of the team. I can live with moving out of the high lottery if it's the young core playing together and winning. I'd probably be excited about it in fact and engaged. But this is different; this is in many ways a repeat of the previous two years in which Corbin rode ST loaner veterans to heights of mediocrity, which is where we are heading again this year if things continue to play out like this. Play the core and play them together for better or worse and let the chips fall where they may. Win or lose in this case, I'm rooting like hell for them. THIS, however, is more frustrating than it is exciting. This was supposed to be the season of discovery, but it's turning into the season of veteran induced frustration--for the third year in a row no less.

Bucks fans are pretty happy.

As they should be. One look at the team they have right now, and you know Wiggins will lead them to a championship in 2016. And when you consider how attractive Milwaukee as a city is to young, rich black males, just think of the free agents they'll get.

Yes, the Bucks have it all. Talented core, great weather, party capital of the Dairy Country...

I and many others have been saying the basically the same thing for two years now. What in God's name is Corbin doing and how can management tolerate it? I wish the sportswriters in Utah would be asking these questions of Lindsey. It is so frustrating. I thought after going 1-14 Corbin would soon be gone but Trey Burke saved his butt. The guy doesn't have a clue about how to develop young players or a team. But our complaints apparently just go on deaf ears and to make matters worse we have to listen to meatheads like Franklin defending it.
