The Jazz have no identity

[orangello]

We should be patient with trading Jefferson. There will be a team that loses a big man and they will come running the Jazz way and they will try for Favors and then Millsap and will evenutally make their way to Jefferson and then we will be set.

Is "suck" not an identity?

He's a perpetual loser

Jefferson and Harris are perpetual losers. Raja is identified as a Jawjacker, coach Ty is a Journeyman. There is your identity.

I think the big trouble is that for years Ol' Jerry dominated all other personalities in the organization. One unfortunate side effect was a collection of players that would submit to Jerry. Jazz wouldn't take or keep a player that wouldn't conform to Jerry. Now there are no strong personalities to lead.

I just do not understand why we do not run more.

Like the 3 point play Hayward had.... We have youth and legs, use what we have to our advantage.

Just what I was going to say. They had Jefferson on the floor.

And then they kept him as the focus for another 10 or 15 minutes #Fail

I agree Al shouldn't be the focus of the offense. He is a guy you get the ball to in the post when time is running down and the offense needs to be reset. Get him the ball then instead of hoisting up a low% shot late in the shot clock.

Our idenity is reboudning.

Our idenity is reboudning.

These are two good options.
I also believe the lack of an identity is inherently an identity.

(Oh, and *identity and *rebounding.
50% shooting is not bad.)
