And who says Corbin isn't getting the knack of this coaching thing:

Late in the game Burks brought the ball up about 5 feet past the half court line and then dribbled the ball off his foot resulting in a back court violation.

On the very next possession, Burks brought the ball up to the same exact spot. Corbin frantically motioned to Burks to advance the ball up further just in case he dribbles the ball off his foot again; thereby avoiding another back court violation.

Corbin = Ring folks.

Corbin = Ring.

Did the Dallas/Charlotte doubleheader tonight and Denver yesterday so I've got lots of Jazz on the brain.

 

[billyshelby]

I have no idea what the media narrative is, but our half court offense is still a total disaster. Putrid against Denver (a team that actually has a system), Hayward made it look better than it was against Dallas (a team that plays a system with inferior players), and it looked pretty bad tonight against a team that plays no system. Tonight we had the luxury of destroying a team in one on one matchups almost exclusively.

I have to say, I'd almost mailed in the season emotionally until I saw the 4th quarter of Dallas. Absolutely shocked Ty went with Burks at the backup 2, and liked seeing it again tonight.

Burks might not be able to handle the job. But he can do things on the floor with the ball that no other player we have will ever be able to do. Committing to letting him learn or fail is crucial.

Honestly, if we're just going to trade Al and Sap, do it now. Favors and Kanter can't possibly score reliably in the post. So if we're not going to go for it, then just get the losing started.

I'm not advocating anything actually. And I think it's pointless to have Ty coach Favors or Kanter. So I guess I'd rather have as much ammo as possible built up to getting Ty canned so we can move into the future with those two being coached by someone competent.

Foye's averaging 27 minutes.

Foye's averaging 27 minutes.

I am fine with that as long as he gets a lot of those minutes playing with Burks and Hay. If he is taking away minutes from them then thats way to many

Foye needs to be down to 20 minutes at least. He's the classic player you leave on the floor if he's hot, yank if he's not. His "value" has little to do with who else is on the floor.

I can agree with this. I do like the way he has played with Burks at the point though.

yeah, if burks is at point they're limited with options at the 2, especially with marvin out and gordon playing the majority of his minutes at 3.

 

[NUMBERICA]

If this sticks, it's a monument to how poor of a brain Ty has that he used it in the pre-season, only to dump it stricly because of tenure (has anyone yet devised a real reason he benched Burks to begin with?).

 

[Sneakers]

I'm just glad the asinine "Burks hasn't earned it" or "Burks has proved nothing" comments have (at least temporarily) stopped. I think its pretty clear whenever he plays extended minutes that he easily already is a rotation player in the NBA, in some capacity. That its evident in his second year (though I thought it was after his first) is what's promising.

(Knocking on wood... don't want a stupid I told you so post to derail the general consistency we're seeing from him) Like any youngn' I expect there to be plenty more ups and downs. FT shooting is paramount.
