Locke on Snyder

Yeah, that line made me laugh as well. Didn't take away from my enjoyment of his description of Snyder's practice. Obviously it was early morning and he wasn't thinking completely clearly yet.

He looked messed up to say the least.

Why does he always shoots those POD casts early in the mornings? I understand that he has a busy schedule but nighttime is the perfect time to make the mind and mouth work faster than then rest of the day, is not it?
 
Here is how you run the team Quin:

Make everyone play die-hard defense. Trade anyone that lacks the motivation.

Build your team's individual and team-chemical weapons alongside this basic motive so that you will have something solid in your hands in a few years.


Defense always makes you overachieve.

Meh.

To me I can't trust anything Locke says. I remember how he want praises about Corbin before that disaster unfolded. To me, Locke is merely the loudspeaker for the Jazz. Zero credibility and will always paint a rosy picture. Can't wait until 3 years from now Locke turning on Snyder and praising Jerry Sloan's return to the bench...

I'm as excited as anyone about the Jazz. Snyder was a great hire and I've loved 3 of the last 4 picks (your guess as to who I think was an underwhelming pick). But I agree with The Thriller's observation. Locke only speaks what the Jazz want him to say.

I agree that Locke pretty much is in the orbit of the franchise and that shapes his actions and said words, but I cannot go that far and say that he always paints a rosy picture. Solely on this one, he said everyone sucked in the team, just merely maybe besides Favors and Hayward. And above all, I see DL rooting for Enes to achieve and I also see Locke to dislike Kanter.

But if Kanter gets a 4 or 5 year contract and Locke starts praising him again, I will come back at this thread or find you somewhere else and I will rep you.
 
Yeah, Locke has stated he expects us to be one of the worst teams in the West again. He also said Hayward isn't a max player, but the Jazz couldn't afford to lose him.

Yes, he will always try to spin something into an overall positive picture, but he doesn't flat-out lie or say something he doesn't actually believe in.

Locke is pretty much Captain Obvious with those observations. If Locke doesn't believe what the party line is from the Jazz FO, then I'm convinced he just thinks about it long enough until he actually does see 5 lights.

So you were one of the ones he ignored?

What's the story?

Nope. I don't tweet so I'm no twit. I'm also not a big fan of Locke, but on those occasions that I do hear him he often flies off the handle on someone. He is very quick to judge and has almost no patience. He strikes me as a self-absorbed jerk. That said, he is obviously a hard worker and his access to the team gives him some great insights. He's also pretty smart. So if you are going to listen to him you sort of have to take the good with the bad. And speaking of bad, he's an awful play-by-play guy. He is much, much, much better as a sports talk show host.
 
Having lived in 4 NBA cities and listening to the locals in those cities - plus traveling a lot for work and listening to local broadcasters - I have to say that Locke is not a homer at all. Love him or hate him, calling him a homer is a lot less objective that what he says. Personally, not crazy about his style or how he comes across but I like his analysis and the way he approaches his job. I have no problem with Locke.
