Reading the Tea Leaves

[jimmy eat jazz]

Hes been given a interim season, a lockout season, a FULL season, and now this season to get it right. I don't know how many chances your supposed to get as a head coach, but if regression is all a coach is showing up to that point, I don't see what the point would be to extend his contract.

This is business in the end is about the Utah Jazz, not Tyrone Corbin.

And say what you want, other than the point guard position, he was given a stacked roster last year.

There HAS to be some limit to FO patience with Corbin. If, for example, the team goes 2-20, I don't see any way in hell that the FO cannot fire Corbin. We are on pace of historic suckiness here, someone has to be held accountable for it. You reach a point (and we are heading there) where things become so bad that your hand is forced. Mark my word, Corbin will not last the season. I don't think he will make it to mid-season. In fact, if the Jazz don't get a win soon, I would not be surprised if Corbin were fired much sooner than that. He just has not proved he can get his players collectively to play above their individual potential. I feel comfortable we have enough data points to know who Corbin is and what he can accomplish. Time for a change. It can't get worse, can it?

This is hard for me to write, but I don't think Burks is ever going to be a good two guard unless he fixes his shot. He has a descent stroke, but I think he doesn't focus on getting his body and his feet set when he shoots. You can still see him turning in air when he shoots from the wings. I love his athleticism, but a shooting guard has to be able to shoot.
