Simply another example of the hipocrisy and inconsistency of Ty Corbin. When someone like Favor has been "going good" with 23&15 through 3-quarters it doesn't earn him a ticket back into the game. When someone like Burks has been "going good" with 14/4/4 and solid defense on Kyrie Irving - it doesn't prevent Ty from replacing him with Mo to finish a game. When someone like Al is "going good" with high-volume scoring, he must be kept out on the floor because scoring in the post - regardless of how inefficiently it occurs - is the holy grail of the 2013 Utah Jazz. I suppose it's a positive that Ty kept Burks/Hayward/Favors out there to finish the game but it's too little too late in both the game as well as Ty's coaching career.
5 minutes for Kanter while Al is playing 43, taking more shots than points, turning it over 3 times (including with 60seconds left and Utah within 7) and playing his usual scarecrow defense in the paint. It's not like you have Karl Malone with a decade's worth of work and you know that even if he's having a poor shooting game - his competitiveness and presence still gives you the best chance to win down the stretch. After 3 years in Utah everyone and their dog should know what Al gives you at this stage. Ty repeatedly utilizes Al as if he were Malone, Hakeem, Shaq or one of the alltime greats, rather than the poor-defender, volume scorer he is.
It's obvious that at this stage Corbin is way in over his head, but he would still be a better coach without Al on the team.
