Jazz fans sound off on team's woes
Emails come from variety of places worldwide
Is there a chance for a turnaround this season or should the Jazz just play out the year and hope to win the draft lottery?
I think they can turn it around if everybody would just buy into Jerry's program and focus on the defensive side of the ball and let their game come through there. We won't make the playoffs but I feel they could go .500 from here.

Play for the future
In my opinion the Jazz need to still try and turn the season around and make a playoff push, but do it playing the players of the future: Lopez, Snyder, Humphries, AK47, Giricek, Borchardt, Boozer, and Okur. I don't understand why Coach Sloan is giving so many minutes to Howard Eisley when he probably won't be with the team next year.
If you compare Lopez's numbers to McLeod's, Lopez shoots a higher field goal and free throw percentage and, per 48 minutes, averages 2 more assists and .5 more steals per game. Lopez seems to be more of the pass first and shoot second type of point guard, whereas McLeod and Eisley are the opposite. I think it is time to look to the future and forget about the past.

Sloan isn't forward-thinking
