Jazz's Hart says he has bulging disc in back
28 comments | Read story
I hope somebody thinks it's wonderful news when something goes wrong in Billy's Shorts. Maybe there's already something wrong in there.
Speaking purely of the situation now, I do believe Price appears better able to initiate the Jazz sets and run plays better than Hart. Price really appears to be calm and does not really get rattled. Hart is always pressing (dribbling the ball through the floor) at the end of the shot clock to rush a play.
It is absolutely paralyzing to think what would happen to this team if D-Will went down with an injury. We can weather a loss at any other position but PG. Yikes.
his own statement " just because they can jump through the backboard does'nt mean that they know basketball" How absurt that was . But as others so readily say " oh well that's Jerry "
Point shows that some one with one year experience can or is just as good as one that has had seven teams in six years and still has problems .
Sad but true .
It's not the player , it's the narrow minded coach that is the blame for this discontent and (MOTO-X) GIBBERISCH
At the beginning of the season I yelled at the TV everytime Hart came in, but a few weeks ago I realized that the Jazz actually started playing better as a team when he came in (this was during the slump.) Hart actually does a great job.
Remember when we all loved Jacque Vaughn? I thought he even played well, but when he came in for Stockon, we always lost our lead. It's the opposite with Hart. He leads the second team really well.
I like Price's athletic ability and his ability to score, I really hope he earns a spot in the rotation (I hate watching Hart's shot, its ugly, and I hate how he stands by the half court line like he's afraid to attack) but, as far as I've seen it, Hart has out performed Price.
As for Dee Brown...he played well for what, 4 plays against the Spurs? GIVE ME A BREAK! He's a great guy, but he wasn't that good.
Price is shooting .406
Hart is averaging 3.4 points per game
Price is averaging 2.5 points per game
Hart averages 12.6 min. per game in 41 games
Price averages 6.5 min. per game in 26 games
Their turnovers and rebounds are about the same as far as minutes divided by the number they have on the season...Price would be dominating Hart in steals and points if everything was equal, and obviously he shoots better...
I actually don't mind Hart, but Price is much better in my opinion...He just seems like he is out there to win, and Hart is out there to try and just not lose the game...but thats my opinion...
and there is a difference for those of you who want to question my opinions...
And there has to be more to the Dee Brown story than we know. Something doesnt add up there and I think it has something to do with Deron Williams I cant imagine the Jazz front office letting go of Dee if Deron wanted him here. I wish someone would do some research and do an article on what they find with that situation.
But what else can we expect from the worlds greatest coach?
I would honestly like to see CJ getting more minutes as well. I think the Jazz could train him to be a formidable PG, in my opinion. He's got a great shot, has gained confidence this year, and has proven he's not afraid to drive. I questioned his maturity for a while, and he has a ways to go, but I'm enjoying Miles' progress.
Your Sloan quote (or is it SLOWn?) disproves your own point. (Besides which, you mangled it; *through* the backboard? Ouch. Maybe over it would be better.) It's absolutely TRUE that being able to jump high and move quickly doesn't necessarily mean a guy knows how to play basketball to benefit the team. Look at Stockton and Malone as examples of people who weren't always the highest jumpers or the quickest guys on the court, but knew how to play basketball. The game is full of people who can jump high, run fast, and dunk the ball, but who can't REALLY play well on a team.
I'm not saying Sloan is perfect; maybe this injury to Hart really will open his eyes to a player he doesn't fully appreciate. But give Sloan some credit for knowing more about basketball--especially about coaching it--than any of us do.
It's ridiculous not to.
That being said, I think if Dee would have been re-signed, he would be the perfect 2nd man for Deron with Ronnie as 3rd. Not that I don't like Hart, but Dee played with D-Will in college, and they have a great chemistry together. Its too bad he's still not around.
I hate to trash on Brown, but I am tired of everyone still whining about how we don't have him any more. He was a fan favorite, but a pretty mediocre young player. I wish him the best, but the Jazz didn't make a mistake by not re-signing him.
No other NBA team thinks Dee should be on their roster - that should tell you something. But I would like to see Dee back in the NBA someday.
Price > Hart
I'm glad RP is getting an opp. But hope Hart heels soon in any case.
I like Price's energy, hops, shot, and his active defense. His passing is suspect - but if he stays in the offense, he can do fine.
