Ty Corbin's quote on playing Jefferson over Burks in the 4th.

Sexual Favors said:
What's crazy is R.J. wasn't even playing that well. He shot 4/10 40% and 0-2 from 3, for 13 pts and had 3 TO in 33 minutes

while

Burks went 8-11 72.7 % 100% from FT, for 20 PTS with 2 PF and 2 TO in 25 minutes.


Incomparable.

This either proves that Ty Corbin is the dumbest POS alive.

Or he is in on the Tank.
 
Hmmmm.

This quote concerns me. It makes me think he's been promised his job and he is in on the tank.

Is he really incompetent enough to think Richard would help more after burks did so well through those 3 quarters?

Ohhhh boy

Insert Michael Scott nooooo gif

Jefferson had 9 in the fourth quarter and a couple of offensive rebounds. After Burks left the game, the Jazz cut the lead from 14 to 5 with 1:30 to play. Not saying Burks wouldn't have played as well, but Corbin was right. Jefferson was playing well in the fourth. Corbin's trying to win games despite what you think his "mandate" is from Lindsey.

Doesn't matter that Jefferson was +1 and Burks was -9 either.

And how does playing Richard fulfill the developing the young guys mandate from Dennis Lindsey? Corbin has two very attainable goals this season: development and defense. He doesn't even have to win games. What is he thinking? Our defense is crap, and Burks (and Kanter too if it wasn't for Favors' injury) is still getting ****ted on minutes wise.

I know that Corbin is the perfect tank commander and all, but dude should seriously be fired for never really giving the: Burke, Burks, Hayward, Kanter, Favors lineup a try. Criminal. Yes, Burks makes a good 6th man, but how do you know he doesn't also make a good starter? When did you even try the lineup for more than 2 minutes?

Favors is injured.
 
It's funny, but Corbin's decision to not play Burks last night was not the wrong decision. There is not one thing anyone can show that says that he made the wrong decision.

Yep. Just re-watched the 4th. RJ was playing really well, and the unit he was playing with made a run. What Corbin said is 100% accurate.
 
I really don't care if Jefferson was playing well during that time. Burks had shown that he was one for the first 3 quarters, Corbin was just scared that putting Burks back in would have let them win the game.

The Jazz were down 9 in the third. Burks, Burke, and Hayward all played together. When Hayward subbed out, the Jazz were down 14.

Jefferson came in for Hayward. When Hayward came in for Burks, we were still down 14. From that point forward, Hayward, Burke and Jefferson were able to cut the lead to 5 before inexperience won out.

Burks is a nice backup SG. That's it.

You are going to use +/- as a serious argument for one player playing better than another independent of matchups and player combos?

Cut the crap -- you know + / - depends on a number of variables, not just the individual's play. Burks was the only reason they were in the game the first 3 quarters. You can keep Jefferson in, if you want, but you have to keep Burks in, the way he was playing. Otherwise, you suck as a coach and are totally disrespecting your player.

Could you imagine how terrible a Burke, Burks, Hayward, Kanter, Favors lineup would be? LOL. No spacing whatsoever. Trey and Favors would run a pick and roll, and Favors would roll right into Kanter. Or the ball would go to Kanter/Burks and Alfense would be back. At least Al was good at Alfense. No one would defend us against the three. They would pack the paint. We would forced into long jumpers by Kanter or Burks.

Wanna tank and NOT develop anyone? Run that lineup out there.

Yet in the minutes it was tried they played better than any lineups the Jazz have used all year. According to a post in my thread dedicated to that lineup. He had a # of games to try it, when he finally did it worked really well against a great defense. And yet the following game (with everybody healthy, just for U Frankin-troll) he used that lineup exactly 0 minutes.

Brewer was good at the baseline cut, and that's about it.
Burks atleast can do something with the ball in his hand.

Yup. And when I said that for a couple of years, all I got was basically the same responses I get from Burks lovers. It's actually quite funny.

Burks is the less talented, less effective version of Al. He can do some things very well, but at the expense of everyone else.
