He was one and we have Korver which is one of the best trades the Jazz has made but, we have AK who makes three pointers here and there and so does Williams and Miles. Then theres Okur who has been our three point shooter for a while and so what if our attempts don't mesh with statistics and #'s we still have an awesome team. The Jazz can only get better and better and their maturity level during the playoffs is what wins games, play smart and play hard!

They have been winning almost all their games since they aquired Korver . Sloan has gotten us there before and he will again . I think that if these guys play like they have been lately they are going to be hard to beat. We have the shooters , a good defense , and one of the best benches in the league . I say that this could be our year to shine . Go Jazz !!!! I say leave them alone . They have been winning almost all their games since they aquired Korver .

I think that Sloan understands the importance of the 3ball and is easing it into each game more and more. If it pans out in our favor like this discussion suggests then he'll let 'em fly, otherwise... Still, I'd prefer an easy 2 over an iffy 3 any day. Don't forget, a 2 can be a 3 with an "And 1" as well as get the opposing team in foul trouble and possibly keep a key threat off the court. I say take the 3 only if your hot and/or the situation permits it. Otherwise, do what the Jazz do best, get high percentage buckets. Anyway, its not scoring that the Jazz lack, its defense. If we can defend the 3 then we don't have to take too many and play the type of offense our team is used to. Basically, if it ain't broke, don't fix it and our offense ain't broke. Our D on the other hand... It’s easy to bash Sloan if the Jazz’s performance isn’t up to your standards but you have to admit that we’re not doing that bad.

We should't worry so much about three point shots as much as defending and rebounding. The jazz need to defend their leads much better and take the ball to the basket and yes I think they need to stop hesitaing on their shots when they are open and abel to make the shots. I notice a player usually makes the shot when he just shoots it without thinking about it, just do it. The jazz need to play more like a team like they did last season, they don't seem to do that so much this season and it is hurting them. They are so intimidated by other teams and it is time they realize any team can be beat you just have to believe it and do it.

I can guarantee you Matt Harpring would be apart of that team just like a healthy Alonzo Morning. These grunt (garbage) workers create the core of teams. Given enough grunt workers can make one or more grunts shine. (like Morning earlier years on the Heat). Yes I know Alonzo is an all-star (especially back in his day), but there are many all-star grunts. Note: If I had the qualifications to coach, believe me I would. I don't think coaching junior, or church teams give me the qualifications. Especially since it was all volunteer work.

He is leading the Jazz all the way here. With John Stockton and Malone. And he is old he will retire sometime but I'm hoping not now because we want a championship and with Sloan here we know what to do. And if we just have someone else they might mess up the whole routine and then we will probably wait 1 or 2 more years to get closer to the championships. But even if they get a new coach like I have said probably they will get someone that has already played in the team. For instance like John Stockton or Jeff Hornacek. And we need Jerry Sloan.

If we were going to play without Matt Harpring. Our chances of winning will get lower. Because he can take a hard foul, shoot really well. Each game he is normal. Like he can shoot at least over 5 points. And that's good for the Utah Jazz. More advantage to win. Even though his time is limited he can still get points and good hustle points. Yeah and the scariest thing that Matt can do is be out with a stomach flu or something else he normally has. I agree. If we were going to play without Matt Harpring.

Nothing will make a better player and man (and I care about both in the Jazz players) than getting the basics down pat. Many, many, many times in post interviews Coach Sloan has said they need to shoot the ball whenever they are open and stop giving up shots they have. I really don't believe that Coach "won't let them make certain shots". If we all know so much about how it should be done then why aren't we putting in applications to be an assistant coach? Sometimes when a player is doing really well you can see a little fatigue setting in that may cause them to get a foul. I'm not with these guys at all the practices so I don't even hint at knowing how a rotation should go. Let's get off the subject of who should or shouldn't be coach and get behind the Jazz and their wins and show that we are all together in being Jazz fans!!!!!!! Well said Amuro!!

First, the answer is not "get rid of Jerry Sloan." Jerry Sloan's "old school" style of discpline of ball use has allowed the game flow to quick gameplay. Second, the answer is not give the ball to CJ Miles, Okur or Korver, unfortunetly their rythm (like many players) is off and on. We no longer have the Stocktons, Hornaceks and other players (Russell, J. Malone, Anderson, etc.) on our team with confident shooting from the 3 point line. Obviously, and Jerry is using what he has. In fact, closely watching the new players I noticed that when the hesitation or inconsistent movements in taking a 3 point shot occurs they will miss the shot almost 90% of the time (based on last year and this year). That is a big one for Okur who constantly has inconsistent or hesitation issues in taking a 3 point shot. I feel the answer is creating more plays beyond a give and go, post-screens, and run-in plays then pass to the corner. These plays are commonly used by other teams. I have to admit Deron Williams (like stockton to hornacek) is very good at creating these 3 plays, but take into consideration the shooters and the recent analogy given. I have seen the screen to free Deron Williams (and sometimes Brewer) in the middle (or close to). Shooting at that angle makes the ball have something to shoot at (other than the rim) thus making it a little better of a shot). Next run play in the middle than back out beyond the 3 pointer (instead of the corners). Even though will play beyond man-man (playing zone) it creates a player off foot, so a little guarded but taking a higher precentage shot. This will also allow circulation of the shot. So as you can see what he answer is - create more 3 shots beyond 3 plays. Utilize other 3 pointer tactics that will create confident, clutch shooting rather than hesitating, rethink shooting.

Which is the point of this article, more taken 3s, more wins. Sloan is a great teacher and a great motivator, probably the best in the league. But he's never been a game coach, he lacks the ability to adjust to game time situations. Everyone in the league is aware of his substitution policies, 3 minutes left in the quarter, here come the subs. He does this regardless of what's happening on the court. I don't know how many times I've been watching a game and a bench player gets red hot, but Sloan pulls him from the game because his time is up.

I also think sloan is a problem, he does choke or intimidate players and causes them stress on whether to shoot or not. He hand AK there for a long time he never allowed Giracek the go ahead and I think that confused and stifled him. I wish him a lot of luck on his new team. Also I don't feel the jazz need to choke the floor with 3 point shooters. If they play solid ball for 4 quarters they do very well. Maybe larry miller needs to hire a fourth quarter coach.

If you think it is you don't have a clue. Why are you even reading these articles? You obviously are not a Jazz fan. Secondly, your reasoning for other teams getting wide open 3's against us is asinine. They don't defend it because Sloan doesn't like the 3 point shot? Get a clue. It's due to lack of execution by the players. They don't give up so many 3's because Sloan tells them not to defend it. Could it possibly be the fact that this young team thinks they can out score anyone to win and doesn't play with fire on defense? Boozer and Okur have been slow on the defensive end. During their losing stretch last month there was a lack of effort... Also you claim that they need to shoot the 3 more on offense. In the last two games Korver is 2-12 from behind the line, while Okur is 4-14. That sounds like a great recipe for winning. Lets bag the 50% shooting inside the paint and start jacking up 3 pointers. I'm sure we could win alot of games by going 6-26 from behind the arc every game and never getting any free throws. Any true fan would be sorry to see Sloan go after all he's done for the franchise. I can only imagine what our record will be when someone new comes in. Not that you would care, your only on the bandwagon because of our performance in last years playoffs. You'll be a Laker fan by the time Sloan retires.. Go Jazz Go First off, the problem isn’t Jerry Sloan. If you think it is you don’t have a clue. Why are you even reading these articles?
