No satire, no cute pop-culture references, no usual harpringsucks.com inside jokes.
OK, ignore the last one.
How long will Jerry Sloan stay with an approach that includes:
1.) Playing Frog Fisher the most minutes at SG.
2.) Playing Frog Fisher in poor match-up situations
3.) Playing Frog Fisher to end games.
4.) Playing Harpringsucks more minutes than AK.
5.) Playing Harpringsucks to end games.
6.) Playing Harpringsucks and Fisher together to end games.

The truly entertaining part is that all of the above "tactical decisions" either practiced in isolation or in aggregate are not void of historical outcomes.
* The SG Breakout Tour occurred in January
* The MIA occurred on March 13
* Frog Fisher's play in March and April
More recently:
* John Salmons
* Brandon Roy
* Rashard Lewis
* the backcourt stumble defense
* Numerous Harpring passing TO's down the stretch run of the season.
The saga began after the Jazz 6 game winning streak in which Kirilenko was in full regeneration mode. The kickoff event was the MIA against Miami. 8-12 since. 0-1 in the playoffs.
Out of those 8 wins, 3 occurred when Portland, Houston, and Dallas played the JV squads at the end of the season and 2 occurred during two good games by AK (Minny, and GSW) in which he played 36 and 38 mins respectively.
The remaining 3 wins were:
Memphis: Blowout
Washington: Boozer 41pts, Ak, Harpringsucks, & Frog Fisher all sucked
Houston: The only game which provides a shred of Pro-Sloan credibility as Harp made an easy layup.
I wonder when the "adjustments" will be made?

Has to be quite a loss to get Capt. Sig out of the cabin.
Sloan's decisions in the next few games could have a profound impact on the future direction of this team.
Sadly that profound impact will likely come in the form of shipping one of the useful pieces out of town.
Which is sad because I'm starting to think that if Sloan and Fisher stay, the Jazz can't be my favorite team anymore. We'll be on a break. (Gotta have a Friends reference to balance out . . . whatever you guys refer to)
Forget it, we're frogged.
As Einstein said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.
Ah, so MIA stands for Missed Inbounds Attempt...it took me unusually long to figure that one out.
