Jerry's style in addition to the loss of Kirilenko for so long and Harprings subpar shooting has produced a very predictable outcome. This season is lost . There will be no saving it now. Larry Miller should sit down with Jerry now, and negotiate a buyout of Sloan's contract as soon as possible.

The game has passed Jerry Sloan by. Life has chewed him up. He can no longer motivate players effectively. My way or the highway can't continue if the Jazz hope to maximize what should be a bright future.

Bring back the Mailman

It's time to bring back Karl Malone—in whatever capacity he'll come. He's available! Get him on the floor with his no-quit attitude, his work ethic, his knowledge of winning! It just might work! He could come back as player, consultant, trainer, — the Jazz have talent coming out of their ears—and need to know how to win games—which Karl know down to his toes.

Mail in season, look to lottery

The Jazz need to do like the Spurs a few years ago, botch the rest of the season and get that all star in the draft. They already have a great core of young guys they may just need one more all star that will take them to the next level. By botching this season it will also give the young guys more playing time and experience. Seattle is young and just needed a season to turn things around. Phoenix is young and needed the season and Nash to turn things around. I still have high hopes for the Jazz.

Stay patient, people

Living in the Southeast, I don't get to see that many Jazz games. Almost every year I'd make the trek to Atlanta or Charlotte the 1 time per year they were in town. Late last summer when I saw what this year's team was going to look like, I eagerly forked over my $170 for DirecTV's NBA League Pass to watch all the Jazz games. Now I'm scrambling for a refund. Just kidding, but after staying up to watch the Charlotte debacle the other night something snapped. After that game, I've pretty much given up on the season and doubt I'll watch that many more games this year.
