Serious question: Is Hornacek a better coach than Snyder?
Please fire Snyder and get a real coach in the summer

I don't think this is Quin's fault. I think the reality is that we have a bunch of guys with offensive deficiencies. Only a couple guys on the team can create offense for themselves and others--Hood and Hayward, and those guys are getting game-planned for by the other teams.
The Jazz aren't going to win games like Portland and Houston because we don't have players like Damian Lillard and James Harden. Simple as that.
Watching our PGs trying to run an offense and trying to hit even open shots was painful tonight. Favors and Gobert can't really score without being set up. Hood and Hayward are the best offensive players we have, and they're streaky. If and when they get rolling the Jazz can build a lead, but once the bench players come in, and once the other team clamps down defensively, the Jazz can't compete. That's the trend.

Why is everyone so mad at Quin? It's Dennis Lindsey who has provided Snyder with the dregs of the league to populate the bench.

You're in the wrong place. Kindly move over to the "Please fire Lindsay and get a real GM in the summer" thread. Thank You.

Keep climbing the ladder. Who hired Dennis? And so on... I blame it on Pope Francis.

Uhh, do you want this guy?
Quit complaining, you may discover (like us Knick fans) that it can actually get worse.

To all Quin's apologizers. Quin appreciates all those players that bring energy on the court and are positive locker room presence and don't have other significant skills. This is the reason why Booker, Ingles and Chris Johnson are getting enough minutes and they are Quin's pets. This is one of the reasons why I'm still not convinced by him as a Nba coach.
I think Quin was ok with the current roster, otherwise he would have pressed DL to improve the bench.

I think after one season, you are pretty loyal to the GM who hired you. If you're Jerry Sloan, you're the tail that wags the dog. If you're Quin Snyder, you agree with everything the boss says.
lol
The reason Booker, Ingles, and Chris Johnson get minutes is because Quin has literally no other choice. You can maybe argue shifting more of Booker's minutes to Lyles, but that makes a fairly negligible difference. Same thing with the Burke/Mack trade off - both guys suck.
With the injuries and what not, we typically only have 3 or 4 NBA caliber players. And we start out games consistently strong - things don't fall apart until starters have to play with bench players.
It's not Quin's fault we have no depth.
Yes accepting a terrible bench it allows Quin to lower the expectations, justify the losses and keep his head coach position.
Jazz offensive system is unwatchable, is this DL fault too?
Mack sucks more than Burke, that's for sure.
Then tell me who decided to take Ingles? It means Quin appreciate him. Same goes with Chris Johnson. They could cut these players and find easily better players both in Europe or D-League. Ingles didn't prove himself in Europe either. Quin appreciates players with their intangibles. The locker room can be healthy and united but it does not always translate into winning games.
Let's not forget that Quin was playing Booker over Kanter in many situations last season.
