Kyle Korver blows

I posted this after GAME TWO. He was the worst player on both teams and definitely the single biggest reason the Jazz lost in GAME TWO. Sure, nice for him in Game 3. But the fact was the Jazz could have stolen home court from the ‘might’ Fakers. And that’d put them in very very good stead, giving them a massive psychological boost and injecting confidence in a team which hasn’t looked very solid against the Lakers.

Ronnie Brewer didn’t have a great game in GAME TWO either but Kyle Korver really blew in GAME TWO. He missed wide open threes, then started dribbling whenever he got a wide-open three attempt, taking bad shots early in the clock, emburdening teammates into forcing shots with a dwindling clock, horrible reading of the game, wayward and ill-timed passes which forced teammates into awkward situations, providing little or no defensive help, and was overall a terrible burden. Stats don’t always tell the whole story. If I quoted random stats and claimed that Amare was a superb defender, I could simply say the old “stats don’t lie” line, but we both know that’s not true.

The problem is that he was by far the worst performer on the court, and he was starting and getting major minutes. Ronnie Brewer was also a big non-factor on offense and missed tons of open shots, but at least he contributed on the boards and defensively.

You know what would make your argument valid? It would help if the points you made were actually true. Deron Williams played well, Carlos Boozer played well. Just about all the other bench/role players played well. It was just Korver who was bringing the suck on both ends of the floor.

He was a NEGATIVE presence on the offensive end, and a huge burden on defense. Even the players who didn’t have great games at least contributed in some form on either offense or defense.

You blatantly bypassed the truth to scapegoat the players who played decently, and to somehow justify Korver’s ridiculously poor play. That’s lame, you probably just like the dude.

Just for the record, I have had no problems with Kyle Korver for the duration of his whole career so far until I watched Los Angeles Fakers vs Utah Jazz Game 2, several days ago. He cost the team a precious road win. No matter how you scapegoat the other players despite their acceptable performances, Kyle Korver repaid Jerry Sloan’s faith in him by playing extremely poorly. At a crucial, pivotal point in the series.
