What has David Locke so upset?

[fishonjazz]

Is that not accurate ? I wouldn't say the worst in every game, but its bottom 1/2 to bottom 1/3 for sure. Wasn't there an uprising recently because Locke wouldn't say negative things about the Jazz? Well he did yesterday, and they were all true. Well, probably not all, but almost all of them.

If the jazz do have the worst starting five against every team they play (charlotte, new Orleans, Detroit, philly, Toronto, Washington, Cleveland, Orlando, Portland, Minnesota, phoenix, sacramento) then isn't locke throwing KOC under the bus since he was the one who assembled the worst staring 5 in the league?
Or is it in fact corbins fault for continueing to play the worst starting five in the league for so long?

They are one of the deepest teams in the league though, can't have your cake and eat it too. They aren't the worst but they are probably around the 20th best starting 5 or so. Replacing a few people in and out of the starting 5 wouldn't make them significantly better IMO. Just different, not better, probably not worse either.

I can't read this site anymore. Every ****ing thing is Coach Corbin's or the managements fault, but it's the players on the floor who we expect to perform. This site has been rendered useless by Clutchfans trolls and ****ing retarded Jazz fans. I'm not even sure why I bother to post here or read this garbage site anymore. <sigh>

David Locke teaching Jazzfanz about basketball is akin to Joseph Stiglitz teaching Rush Limbaugh listeners about economics. It's just too complex.

Who got thrown under the bus? I listened to the whole thing yesterday and don't recall him doing anything like that. He said Jefferson can't play P&R D at all, Favors is pretty far behind offensively, Sap is not a go to guy ... All true obvious things. He was being a prick though, very confrontational.

You don't know that anyone who isn't a blind homer on the youngins must throw them under the bus to support Corbin not playing them. We are *haters* yo.

No. Not "yes men". I just want to find out where actual Jazz fans are. There doesn't seem to be many here.

I'm an actual Jazz fan! I am ready to see the Jazz stomp on Minny tonight! Go Jazz!

So, what you are saying is that whether the Jazz win or lose, it is up to the players. Now, my question is this:

If your starting five is continually outplayed by your bench, what would the logical thing to do be?

Why hasn't Corbin done that?

If our starting 5 sucks so badly, why isn't anyone doing ANYTHING to try to improve the situation?

The answer to those questions will tell you why everyone is so mad at Corbin and the FO.

Dude, I'm not a professional anthropologist but I know so much more about the subject than these idiot professors in their ivory towers who make airtight cases that I disagree with on an emotional level.

You have some logic there till you get to the last 3 words.

Hey GS Warrior, Mahoney agreed with Locke that the bench players are not as good this year. I don't want to root for a team that tanks on purpose like Mahony is demanding.

bottom line ... even the national media can see our coach sucks... and we can all see that KOC brings in raw talent ... if you fail to see these two things then you havn't been watching or going to the Jazz games cause it's very obvious

Yes we do bring in raw talent and they leave here a honed talent. There has to be something there and I am inclined to nod my head towards Corbin for that. However I am extrmemely frustrated with his rotations, in game adjustments and allocation of playing time.

Not sure what you're driving at here.

If you have been totally serious in your claim that there is no legitimate stance against Corbin, and if you don't see where Locke gets bent over a barrel but Mahoney doesn't come prepared/willing to spank him -- in other words, if you aren't trolling me -- then I'm surprised.
