Utah Jazz: Sloan takes advantage of a practice opportunity
4 comments | Read story
I think there is too little of Sloan type of tough love in this world and too much of hand holding and back patting. There has to be a balance, but these are grown men, they shouldn't need to be praised and given a high five and cookie every time they do anything.
Winning isn't for the faint of heart. If you don't play every minute with the attitude that YOU own your opposing player, you'll get beat.
Maybe in time it'll rub off on enough of the Jazz players to get them to the finals.
(or be like the 90's jazz and wait and wait until the league is down, but they never good enough to win anyways)
This means get rid of boozer.
Get a big man who can defend,
get a shooting guard and small forward who can score, shoot, play, and defend like a real star.
(never mind on the last one, sloan and his system would never allow it, heck, sloan wouldn't even run a play for horny)
