OVERALL: At least Utah put the ball in the basket at a much higher pace against the Nuggets than they did Tuesday in Los Angeles. However, overall defense both on the interior (see Nene) and from the outside (see Afflalo, Lawson and Miller) was tremendously poor. The 22-turnover count continues to prove that this team needs more time to gel with its on-court chemistry. That's a difficult thing to establish when the group has been subject to a shortened training camp and now averaging a game less than every other day. Grade: C+

Against the Lakers I was upset. Now I'm just disgusted. We have no guard talent. Harris and Watson are both just back-up type guards. Role players but nothing more. CJ Miles is what he is. He will not get better. He will not get more More..
Wow! I wish I would have had you as a teacher in high school/college. You're generous!
Giving a B- to the guards (who were completely ineffective) is beyond generous though. Bench Bell (or trade him) and go get Ronnie Price back (16 More..
Don't want to hustle pretty much sums it up. The jazz look very tentative (just like last year) and don't seem to know where they should be on the floor. No one is stepping up to lead. If they really do have youth and athleticism then Corbin needs More..
