Go Korver! Go Jazz!
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,
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 ?
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.
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 .
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.
Go Kyle! You have fans in Philly who will follow you wherever you go.
P.S. Giricek's a slug.
It sounds as though you are one of those holier than thou, type of individuals !
So SORRY dear boy, but it happens to be,English is my fourth language. Of course, I can not speak out of both sides of my mouth, as you do .
The "some little bit" and other "little some" catch words, are one's that are being used by none other than your coach SlowN ,the 4.5 million farmer, the one you're defending so strongly!
Of course I can see clearly,you do not understand SARCASM nor see it when your reading it.
However, it's nice to see a type as you, do understand the drift of the meanings , otherwise you would not have responded. RIGHT !
With this, I can not help but wonder, did you get your poor little tootsies stepped on.
TRUTH ? Some times it's not looked upon with kindness!
Korver,Almond,etc)To keep everybody happy.
Brewer's one of the few guys that actually tries to play good, hard defense consistently. He's still learning, however, and occasionally makes a mistake. Boozer and Okur's mistakes just come because they're lazy. They should get yelled at even more, but don't.
I heard during the game today that a columnist referred to the Jazz as the softest team in the league. He hit the nail on the head. Outside of Harpring and Korver the Jazz are totally soft. What's up with Kleiza putting his knee into Korver's back and no one on our team has the decency to defend their team-mate. What a bunch of pansies. At least Malone knew how to stand up for his team. (Also, why that wasn't a technical was beyond me).
The addition of Korver and the upgraded health of Harpring brings a lot of strain on the SG and SF positions in term of playing time. Financially, his addition will bring tons of strain in 2009 if the Jazz bring back Williams and Millsap to anticipated contracts.
My solution - trade AK and 2 2nd rounders to Minnesota for Theo Ratliff and Mark Madsen. That would strengthen the front court in terms of defense and we would be a lot richer when Ratliff's $11.6 million comes off the books next year. We would miss AK, but his contract kills us the next few years. With the ability to play a combo of Harpring, Korver, Brewer, Miles and Millsap at the 3, the Jazz would find a way to keep going.
Let me know what you think...
Booz and Okur played a bit more defense last night, but it is still sorely lacking relative to where it should be. I quote George Karl, "The Jazz have slow feet." Those slow feet begin with Booz and Memo.
Ronnie minutes aren't going anywhere. His athletic prowess is a perfect complement to Korver's floor-spreading impact. It forces opponents to change defensive schemes on the RB/KK switch - which is nearly always a positive for the remaining four guys.
Assuming all stay healthy, which is likely a horrible assumption, the Jazz have a lot of trade value presently. KOC will most certainly balance those too issues with the deadline quickly approaching. I foresee the status quo.
The Jazz look good to go given a very large assumption --> they come with passion and focus every night. They beat the Clips, but still didn't take care of the ball. The TO's were a bit alarming. An elite team will pound the Jazz by 20 if they continue to give-up the ball like that.
Go Jazz!!!
Best Kyle highlight was the last second 3 balls in the Sixers/Celtics triple overtime. One of the best games I was ever at with my son. Feed him the ball and he'll drain the three.
You gave the Sixer's fans many highlights and I'm sure you will do the same for the Jazz fans. Good Luck, Kyle.
