Short bench a problem for Jazz in loss to Thunder

Salt Lake Tribune — Short bench a problem for Jazz in loss to Thunder by Steve Luhm The Salt Lake Tribune Published Apr 9, 2013 11:05PM MDT The Jazz played without rotation regulars Enes Kanter, Alec Burks and Marvin Williams on Tuesday night at EnergySolutions Arena. It showed. With Kanter sidelined because of a dislocated shoulder, Burks out with a sprained ankle and Williams sent home with a stomach ailment, coach Tyrone Corbin used only eight players in a 90-80 loss to Oklahoma City. It was the first time since April 13, 2011 — in a game against Denver nearly two years ago — that Corbin used only thr...

Holding Out for the Last Shot

SLC Dunk — A week ago, against the Portland Trailblazers, Alec Burks really screwed up the end of the first quarter. That's what Twitter told me, anyway. He screwed up by taking a shot with 6 seconds left in the quarter and allowed the Blazers to hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer. And yet, I wondered. You see, I have long thought that the traditional end-of-quarter strategies are questionable. It was probably Jason Hart's magnificent 2-for-1's that really made me wonder if teams are doing the smart thing. It's kind of how I shake my head at end-of-game Hero Ball strategies. Seriously, imagine this sc...

Utah Jazz Rotations: What ever happened to the " _______" lineup?

SLC Dunk — Do you remember the "Big" lineup of Al Jefferson, Derrick Favors, and Paul Millsap? Do you remember our three guard lineup of Alec Burks, Randy Foye, and Gordon Hayward? Do you remember that those two lineups were amazing? And lastly, do you remember the last time we used them? They are unconventional, and honestly you can't use them every quarter of every game. That said for the time being the Jazz do have a pretty significant size advantage over most teams (let them adjust to US for once!), and we're also capable of going hyper-space with three ball handlers. Utah Jazz fans have like...

Utah Jazz guard Randy Foye is a free agent looking to cash in this off-season, but . . .

SLC Dunk — As someone who doesn't watch college basketball regularly my first vivid memory of Randy Foye was that of him on draft night back in 2006. He was a combo guard taken #7 (higher than Gordon Hayward at #9 or Alec Burks at #12, for your 'young hot shot' scorecard), and he missed his parents and wished they could see him now. Foye was a sympathetic character to me, and I wished him well. His draft night was pretty crazy, as he was drafted by the Boston Cletics, then traded (with Dan Dickau and Raef LaFrentz) to the Portland Trail Blazers for Theo Ratliff and Sebastian Telfair . . . and the...
