This kid is going to be good. Just be patient and watch him. He's an all around ball player.

Mike

Expect more games like the one he played in Denver, where he was 4-of-8 from three-point range. Yes, he's been struggling, but like the article says, he'll get better as he becomes more comfortable with the system. When he has to do less thinking out there, and more of his moves are just instinctive, then it will allow him to focus more on his shots.

Go Korver! Go Jazz!

Brewer Beware

The glimpses I've scene in Denver of his shooting ability, and his unexpected defense, I think he may have Brewer's starting job by the end of the year.

I can't believe we actually got Korvar for Giricek! The draft pick might not mean anything. Enjoy the present man. I heard of how great a shooter he was in Philly and knew O'Conner made a brilliant move again which he has done often in the last 4 years. The thing is it spreads the floor. The more the Jazz spread the floor the more havoc they create for the other team. The Spurs are great at this and if the Jazz can learn to spread the floor well they will be much more difficult to beat.

info man

my new favorite player. whats not to like!

Philly has been great to us, didn't they trade us strait up for Fesenko ?
We may have to keep an eye on the 76 s drafts and players.
I didn't like Gireck from the begining and was really surprised when they extended the contract. Korver seems like he has the extra desire to hustle. He'll give us honest minutes,

Did Philly extend Giricek's contract or was the above referring to when the Jazz extended his last contract? I would be shocked in Phily extended anything beyond this year to Giricek. I haven't followed him at all since he left - anybody know how he's been doing, how much he's been playing etc ?

Doghouse

Who is In Jerry s doghouse now.???

I met Corver in Denver the other night, one thing I learned from him, is this guy hates to lose!! I think he brings an edge this team lost with Fischer. What a great guy.

korver fan

i have liked korver since he was on the sixers. He was my go-to shooter on NBA live over the years. ha ha. and always good on fantasy teams. anyway, he's a class act and fits in perfectly with the rest of the jazz.

Let me get this straight......the 76'r play mono repetitions,stand in one spot? but yet the SlowN system is SO much better? BUCKLEY ,is this the drift of your comments, article?

Thinking? No, knowing,hope Kyle, WILL be doing OK !
It's the system, BUCKLEY there's to much sugar in your frosting. The whole world knows the SlowN system and see it coming three play's ahead of it actually happening.

SlowN's comments are again self serving, as like , Ohhh , look at my system ,I've used iit for twenty plus years . Just run the floor hard you'll catch on some little bit!

As for who's in the dog house ? That's already been set up by SlowN , Bet on it,it's going to be Ronnie Brewer .SlowN 's been working that one for over a week already.

Reason? Is it not odd,(not really) that there are several player that miss defensive plays time in time out,SlowN does nothing, sits there as UHHHUUUUU DHUUUU..... But Brewer, missed one play, and the farmer went balistic on him, with the whole world watching it on television.

Oh , I know SlowN has the right to do that!
WHY NOT THE OTHERS ?

Korver is awesome. I'm glad we have him.

Steve Kelly

Korver is fitting in pretty well.

Concerned

Something has got to be done regarding our front court players, and the defense they play. So here is my plan that is sure to find alot of disagreement. I would make a trade if possible with Washington. Memo & Booz, and possibly one of our many 2's for Jamison(expiring contract) and Haywood. We have plenty of offense, especially if we get away from the two-man game, so that part of the trade wouldn't hurt. Haywood and Jamison are both good defenders and can rebound and have several years to play yet. Just my thought fans don't go ballistic on me.

RE: Ol'Pro

What a lousy post--talk about nonsensical jibberish!!

You are right about 1 thing though that I was able to decipher and that was the consistency of Sloans offense only your conclusion was totally false.

You forgot to explain though why the Jazz consistently have one of the top 3 FG% in the league if our offense is so predictable? Why can' teams stop it? Why do the Jazz have one of the top 5 scoring offenses in the whole league this year?

It would be even better if the players would listen and do what they were told. If the players were not lazy and soft and bothered to play a lick of D on the road we would have one of the best records in the league this year.

Please keep your comments on something that has some validity instead of spewing your misplaced Sloan hatred.

RE: concerned

I thought we wanted to be a championship contender? Look at the Timber Wolves. That would be the Jazz if your trade went through

Ol'pro

@ moto X , why don't you just climb up on your putt-putt and take your post,examine what you are referring too.

Appearantly ,you can not differenciate that it's not about FG%, instead of the columist's JIBBERISCH!

That it was,the COLUMIST throwing to much frosting on the Jazz offensive system.(not saying anything about FG%)But the reason for good to excellent FG% is not the system,it's the talent shooting the ball, irregardless what the system presents it self to be!

You have NEVER seen me ridicule,critique,criti-cized the players,DEAR BOY . So why don't you go ride your MOTO X,learn how to read and decipfer your OWN SPEWING.

SlowN has been on this horse, for over 20 years and the swayback mare is not getting it.(oh that's SlowN JIBBERISCH )SAVVY ?

HATRED ? No dear boy , that's not hatred. It's called displeasure ,4.5 million worth ! SAVVY once more ?

POINT was, the writer of the ARTICLE.Him making it out to be, the 76'r system as being a two man play and going to one spot on the floor .

Does'nt that sort of resemble SlowN's system ?

Oh , just run the floor some little bit .

RE: Ol'Pro

Maybe you do know what your talking about, but nobody else does.... If you are going to bash on the columnist or on Sloan, at least learn english first.

From what I gather, you're not bashing on the article, but on Sloan and his system. Moto X hit it right on the head. Sloan's system has been around for a while, but it's proven to work and it's still working! The Jazz have picked up the pace and Sloan has evolved to fit his players talents. Sloan never let Horny shoot 3's at, but look at how many 3's Korver and Memo put up in the same game. Sloan's doing an excellent job of running plays to get his team open shots where they can make them. That's why his system works and will continue to work.

PH Carpenter

Korver hit three 3's today. He also had a slam dunk. I like him.

Go Korver. Go Jazz.
