How is Locke going to try and convince everyone that it wasn't the starters?

Here are some of the highlights from this:

• If Al Jefferson is the corner stone to the offense he needs to fight for position more than he did tonight and the Jazz need to react better to the backside pressure that he was receiving tonight.

• In the last 15 games in all but one when Al Jefferson shoots above 50% we win and when he shoots below 50% we lose – he is shooting a career low 47% on the season.

• Miami is better than the Jazz, they are an elite level championship team. The Jazz have a lot work to do to be at that level and don’t have any of that type of fire power. The Jazz win in Orlando and they are a game above .500 after playing 18 of 29 on the road and if they can stay with their head above water they can make a playoff push wit

That is exactly how that is written. I didn't do any adjusting at all.

This is the one part that brought a smile to my face:

• One of the high points of the game was when the Heat went back to their main guys LeBron, Wade and Chalmers and the Jazz had Hayward, Favors, Kanter all on the floor and they held their own for about 5 minutes

All in all he was not being the Alpologist (or team apologist) that I have come to expect the last two seasons.

I just don't see the basketball mind in Ty. There are many great coaches out there. Hell, I'd even go after Brad Stevens.

Whoa. You stealing my thunder? I don't know that he'd leave Butler, but dude has the MIND, and has it pat. Whether he's got the nuts and mind to manage a locker room of paid professionals (and paid amateurs) is also another ?
 
I'm still not convinced Ty doesn't have the mind, but if you can't command a locker room, literally nothing you know about basketball will matter. And so far, that's what we've been watching in the Ty Corbin era. The gutsiest thing he's done is close games without Millsap, who also happens to be the best soldier on the team, at least given his tenure, ability, and contribution over the years.

Anyone remember what happened the last time the coaching staff gave up on Al in Miami?
 
If the Jazz are so hell-bent on convincing everyone that Ty was the right hire, then they need to ****ing step up and help him make the right decisions and trade ****TY ****ING AL.

I'm REALLY trying to give Ty a chance and be patient with this whole process, but his rotations are insanely dumb.
His idea of letting players know when they're going to play is something that the front office can and should fire him for. It's stupid. If players are struggling or doing great, rotations need to change.

If Big Al can't post up on a center-less team and looks 3 steps slower than the other team, give him 10 minutes. He doesn't deserve minutes.
If Foye can't hit a shot and lets his man go by, give his minutes to Burks or AT LEAST Hayward.
If Marvin Williams is doing good, don't bench him until he's tired. You do the same with Big Al, why not anyone else!?!? Marvin needs more spot ups and post ups, not Al!
If the offense looks bad, go with Tinsley. If it looks good and the defense is bad, go with Watson.
Don't F*$&%*ing do a 2 day weird *** substitution pattern with your backup PG's based on your theory of letting players know when they're going to play. They're YOUR players, man up!

I feel your pain.

Generally, players respond much better to a coach that knows the game more than a coach that can intimidate. Brad Stevens would do fine because he would command respect with his IQ. Coach K is a little weasel, but the NBA guys respect his coaching ability. I think being VERY bright and being able to articulate your thoughts are crucial to being a top coach.
 
Put me on the Brad Stevens bandwagon.

****, man, it feels like any dreams for alternative coaching scenarios are paths that lead directly and solely to frustration.
 
Wouldn't it be interesting to see what Hayward could do in an offense that actually seemed to give a **** about him?
