Didn't the New York Giants win like 11 in a row on the road to close out
the season and win the Superbowl? I think Jerry should hand out Giants shirts to
every member of the Jazz team. Have the guys wear them under their jerseys so
they can win on the road. Probably wouldn't hurt to call Deron & Boozer
"Eli" either...I mean he never gets the ball stolen, errrr picked
off on the road.

What are you trying to say? We think the Jazz are a greeaaat road team!

I hope the Jazz feel ashamed of themselves. Utah on defense... is nothing more
than PATHETIC!

Wonder what the Pistons thought,laying around Salt Lake watching Jazz T
wolves???
odogtriever | 6:17 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
Yes, very stupid Bob I agree.
Derron said it best, "When were selfish, when we don't help each other out, we loose."
Well, you guys lost. How does that feel? Maybe next time you will not overlook a inferior opponent. Of course the Jazz never learn that lesson.
Bad time to take a couple games off. I don't see any championship vision here.

Jimmy's Sneakers | 6:46 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
The thing that disappoints Jimmy the most in games like this is that Defense is
90% effort, and the young Jazz players come out and decide not to give what is
needed. Should have been an easy dubya instead it just hurt the chances of
having a home court series in the playoffs.
Launchpad McQuack | 7:09 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
I could see this disaster coming about 3 or 4 games back. Giving up well over a
100 points to a team that's making a run for the futility record, or close
to it. Now, they're in a position where they have to beat arguably the
best team in the NBA to keep their playoff position.
A victory tonight will make it easier to forgive the Jazz the transgression they committed yesterday. If they loose tonight, we may see the beginning of a derailment that could cost them a playoff spot. The 2nd half of last season was a catastrophe, by some miracle they were able to snap out of it in the post season. They can't afford that kind of futility this year with as good as teams are 1 thru 10.
Let's hope the December Jazz beat downs were the fluke, and not the winning streak. Giving up over a 100 points to a team that would struggle to score that many points in the gym by themselves? Not a good Jazz win/playoff positioning economic indicator.

Utah "No intesity, No focus Jazz | 7:33 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
JAZZ are done. Teams like the Lakers put teams like the worthless clippers and
wolves out of their misery in the first half. The Jazz need a trade, need a
something. Mark my words, here comes another losing streak. 6 out of 8 loses,
or maybe 8 of 10. This team has toooo many guys that aren't willing to put
the effort in on a consistent basis. I can't watch anymore. It's the
same old thing the last two years.
Okur and Boozer try playing some help defense - your both worthless. If it wasn't for Kirilenko and Millsap coming to help all the time there wouldn't be any help defense. How much are the Jazz paying these bums. THE JAZZ SUCK.

The Jazz are pathetic. They can beat the looser teams. They need to make a major
off season move to shake up their roster. Boozer or Okur or both needs to go. I
won't be surprised if the Jazz don't make the playoffs. They are very
fortunate denver has lost a couple of late and Yao is done.
Angel, Macedonia | 7:38 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
It looks to me like the Jazz are playing the same game as they did in the
December, so there is no room for enjoying being a Jazz fan right now. Greetings

No Show | 7:40 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
If the Jazz don't care about winning important games and just don't
even show up. Why should we? I think it's apparent that the fans want it
more than the over paid players. Wake up, and clean the duck out of your eyes
Boys. Be Men. You have to go after it to get it.

Jimmy thinks that Jerry better start preparing the boys to win on the road
especially to the likes of the wolves and clips. Jimmy thinks that Jerry should
have played Korver more. Jimmy really really likes Korver, and thinks he is hot.
Korver dude wheres my car? Jimmy expectst the Jazz to make a major move this
summer and trade two or three main players.
sdd | 7:46 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
what is up with this team, they never play with any energy or intensity on the
road, all williams wanted to do was walk the ball up the floor all night the
jazz need to try and push the ball, but of course when you cant stop anybody
defensively and cant rebound its hard to run.. Boozer had good numbers but what
does he do to get his teamates excited, boozer does not fight on the defensive
end he does not run the floor at all and his fouls he gets are about as usless
as could be.. we wont win another game on the road this year.. You guys sucked
last night then there is okur, man he is tough isnt he... sorry jazz fans i am
just little miffed with the last 2-performances on the road against inferior
teams..

Last Jazz Game | 8:15 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
I have watched my last Jazz game. I have had it with the circus known as
NBA,Jerry Sloan and his "system". It has marked the Jazz inconsistency
for decades: Unable to beat teams with losing records and unable to win the big
trophies.
This Jazz team, for what it is worth, seems to be the softest of all Jazz generations I have seen. It doesnt have the marks of champions on its forehead. Needles to say that Sloan is not known for championship prowess.
I won't waste my money and time to simply witness stupidity, laziness, arrogance and complacency.

Boozer not dominating in the low post.
AK's shot is awol.
Sloan having korver, brewer, price riding the pine in the fourth.
Dwill not taking over on offense.
Add it up and it equals a first round playoff elimination.

Well it definatley stings still. Even after a night of sleep. I love the Jazz
but I have said it earlier in the year against the Nicks and Heat and so on.
Those games will come back to haunt you in the end. It was evident on Sloans
face. I am sure he has told these guys this many times not to overlook these
games because they can come back to haunt you in the end.. Must not ring true or
they just don't have the ability to do it. I don't believe the
latter. They need to man up and give more to the game and they would have six
or seven fewer losses with the best record in the west. This next six or so
games will say alot about how the Jazz will end up this year. I love to watch
when they are playing with passion and intensity.
Bounce back against Detroit | 8:48 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
The Jazz will bounce back and beat one of the best teams in the NBA tonight.
This is the frustrating thing about this team. They play to the level of their
competition. They seem to have serious mental issues. Does it have something
to do with how Sloan motivates them? Sick of it.
If they lose badly to Detroit, I can see another December-esque losing streak coming and "Bye Bye Playoffs".

D Williams plays only when he needs to look good on a big stage. He needed to
prove he belonged on the All-Star team, so he lead the Jazz on a pre-AllStar
tear. He needed to prove he belonged in last year's playoffs, so he lead
the Jazz deep into the playoffs. But right now he has no reason to look good.
Perhaps Coach Smiles Sloan should let the second team play when D does not want
to play.
The Jazz fell behind when D was leading last night.
Postscript: What in the world is Okur playing? A game of HORSE, I think. It's not BasketBall.

Buckeye Fan | 8:59 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
I am tired of hearing the Jazz organization always saying, 'if we're
selfish, we don't play well together.' We are 60 games into the
season, how long does it take to get motivated and play together? DWill is more
concerned about what Denver and the Hornets are doing than going out and win
some games. The problem I see with the team are turnovers (always high) and
Memo has been playing 'soft' as of yet. He is our center and is
supposed to be active in the paint, not the paint of the three point line.
Championship teams don't care who they are playing, superior or inferior,
they play with the same intensity. How long will it take for the Jazz to learn
that?
Old Port | 8:55 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
Too much shopping for the wives at Mall of America? Since Starbuck's now

everyone a shot at the 8 minute mark....they were running in mud.
I so think they will win tonight; I have faith....

One and done! | 9:16 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
With no home court advantage in the Playoffs this team is one and done! Playing
with no energy on the road to a very poor team is frustrating for fans. Games
like this will come back to bit the Jazz. To bad we didn't make a trade
for a big man!
Utah Who? | 9:21 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
Do the Jazz realize they are the Jazz and not the Utes?
What just happened? | 9:31 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
Is anyone else tired of Boozer scoring 25 points, but giving up 30? Is anyone
else tired of Williams playing hard some games and then getting beat by Dan
Dickau and Sebastian Telfair? Is anyone else tired of Okur fouling every soul
the enter his space? Our 'Big 3' play more like the 3 Amigos.
Why is it surprising to me to watch our big men jump to challenge a shot? Why is it unusual to see Boozer sprint down the floor like Malone did. Deron last night jogged or walked down the floor on almost every possession.
I am getting tired of all the Jazz players talk but no walk. Listen fella's....don't you remember what happened last year? Basketball is an effort sport. You can't make up lack of effort no matter how talented you are. Please, focus in. Play hard. Try. Run. Challenge shots. Play some defense!!

coach | 9:32 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
History speaks for itself: This Jazz organization has had more than its share
of good years. There is a basic fundamental to basketball that I would like to
remind all fans, players and coaches. Yes, fundamental basketball is important
but so is "Passion for the game" The energy, the Passion to compete
simply leaves this Jazz team when they go on the road. This coaching staff is
very good at insisting on "Playing the game right" well don't
forget coach, Executing basketball fundamentals is very limmitted as to how far
a team can go (especially on the road ) without "Passion to compete every
night... Home or Away" It starts with your pt. guard and he becomes so
lathargic it is rediculuous... he has so much to offer but it just comes when he
gets mad. He will not reach his potential until he comes to play every night.
That goes for all players... and coaches. The coaches at times seem to have
lost their Passion to compete on the bench.. they just seem to accept the idea
that oh Well, if we loose, it is because we didn't execute well enough..
Don't forget Passion for the game, Gentlemen!
MLR | 9:45 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
When we don't push the ball we always revert to the same old play over and
over and over(the pick and roll). It's almost as if Sloan challenges other
teams with the same old, same old style of baketball. I'm going to make
these substitions, basically on the same minute of every quarter(unless foul
problems dictate otherwise) and run the same offense at you everytime down the
floor, and lets see you stop us. That mentality is driving me nuts. How about
running plays and making player changes based on the nightly match-ups and how
the flow of the game is going? Nightly match-ups are different each night. How
about playing to these match-ups, leaving players in longer when they are going
good, doing something different so that you surprise a team instead always
challenge them to stop what they know is coming? This bull-headed approach is
driving me nuts.
Re: Last Jazz Game | 9:54 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
If you hate the Jazz and Sloan so bad than set of these blogs and go cheer for
Isiah Thomas and the Knicks. You add a fowl stench to being a Jazz fan. You
belong in New York.
Anonymous | 9:49 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
Here's my take. The Jazz need to get rid of Memo or Kirilenko. We will
never win a championship with these two softies in the middle. Neither of them
have a post up game and neither of them can take the ball to the basket. On
defense they get pushed around big time and are too slow to stay with other
players on the dribble. A team can get away with having one of it's big
players being this way as long as they have other good qualities ,but two slow
softies like this are just too much.
Coach from the South | 9:51 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
History speaks for itself.. The Jazz teams have been very successful. As a
fan, it is very frustrating to watch what happens when the Jazz go on the road.
This coaching staff insists that the players "play the game the right
way" Everyone knows that the Jazz execute their offense. But coach,
execution can only take you so far. The team does not show "Passion for
the game" when they go out on the road. This starts with the pt. gurard.
Williams will never reach his potential until he learns to play with passion
every night. He gets pretty good when he gets mad. Why not every night because
it is in you and your love to compete hard.?? This example could carry over to
the others. Coach, it isn't enough to just execute..
Get the leaders to Play with Passion and the wins will come. A Jazz Fan always!

Good thing that the jazz have a game tonight that they can get up for. Good
thing that its a team that thay can play up to their level. Good thing that they
can turn it around tonight only to lose to Memphis on saturday. Good thing that
The good ol Jazz are being consistently inconsisten. Good thing that that they
will say all the right things after they beat Detroit.That is all I ever hear
from The broadcasters to the brass and players.two words RIDICULOUS MENTALITY.
Pistons Fan | 10:04 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
No trash talk here. Just looking for a good game and hopefully the Pistons can
break the huge losing streak at your place. Also, our Pistons tend to take weak
teams lightly too like your team has. So I'm hoping for a good game between
2 quality teams. Good luck.
CCJAZZ | 10:11 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
To the fan that said this is his last game he is ever going to watch. GOOD! I
hope you stick to that you fair weather fan. No you don't need to respond
with all your crying "I have watched as the consistently lose should have
won games ect. ect." Either be a fan of the Jazz or go follow some other
team. So stick to it and NEVER watch another Jazz game!!!
I am just as upset about the loss last night as anyone. You can't lose those games! What really bothered me is that the Jazz had a higher FG%, FT%, and 3% and yet lost the game. It all comes down to the turnovers. BAD GAME! Tonight will tell us a lot about if this team turned any corner with that long win streak. Can they bounce back after such a bad loss, IF they do I think it is a good sign that they are at least headed in the right direction if not the last 25 or so games could be disasterous!

can also be beaten by anybody.They don`t seem to be ready to play the weaker
teams.
Jazzguru | 10:26 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
I see 3 glaring weaknesses for the Jazz. Now understand I love the Jazz and am
not here to bash them. I am angry like all Jazz fans but here is what is
alarming for the Jazz:
1-Mental toughness- Regardless of who they play they need to bring it and quit playing at their opponents level. Need to be focused at all times.
2-Defense- How do you allow Linas Kleiza to drop 41 against you? Linas who? Then last night how do you allow 4 Minnesota players to score over 20? Every player seems to have their career night against the Jazz. Need better team defense and quit fouling so much.
3-Physical toughness- This goes along with defense. How many times are the Jazz going to allow guys like Jarret Jack, Linas Kleiza, Sasha Pavlovic etc. to just drive down the lane and lay it in? I remember Malone giving a couple of guys stitches and even getting suspended a game or 2. With that, guys knew if they drove the lane they might get knocked flat. The Jazz need to toughen up and not be so soft.
The Jazz are very good but better wake up. Go Jazz!

Marshmemo | 10:31 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
soft...boozer is soft defensively but isn't going anywhere. Memo is who he
is the marshmemo man. The jazz are toast until they get a big man willing to
defend and knock someone to the floor.
M55 | 10:37 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
Last night the jazz could not play defense to save their lives. Yes they turned
the ball over, but their defense looked like they learned it from a girls junior
jazz team. Memo was especially bad. He wouldn't move his feet, contest a
shot, or jump for a rebound. I finally realized why he was playing like a
worthless waste of space... his thong was riding up too far on him. MEMO START
PLAYIN LIKE A MAN!!! The jazz need to start playing like the guy matched up with
them just called them a sissy. GET FIRED UP!!
No D Okur | 10:37 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
Until the Jazz get a center who will atleast try to play defense and plug the
middle, these losses to inferior teams will keep OKURRING (good one). It is
hard to win a basketball game at any level when your center allows the other
team to continually get to the basket. The Jazz had a center(Mark Eaton) who
made a very good living guarding Stockton's man after he burned him and
raced down the lane.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. For 2 weeks all we heard about was the grand
winning streak. Now we face a new streak. 1-2 overall and 0-2 on the road
against subpar teams bound for the lottery. We still rank a dismal 22nd in the
NBA for team defense. Allot of people complained that D-Will was left off the
All-Start team. I now agree he deserved it! He has zero leadership quality and
it shows. 12-18 on the road doesn't cut it. It's now time to push
the panic button. We have 11 road games left against the likes of San Antonio,
Dallas, Denver, L.A., Phoenix, New Orleans and Boston. These will all be
guaranteed L's in the stat column. By the end of the season we will be
competing for the ultra competitive 7th, 8th spot and possibly outside looking
in at the 9th position. Statistically one team will finish several games above
.500 and won't make the playoffs in the West. I hope it isn't the
Jazz.
ID Jazz | 11:33 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
What are you smoking CCJAZZ!!! Theres no corner to turn at home. Turning a
corner for this team is winning half of your games on a road trip or beating
bottom dwelling division teams. Not only did they miss the corner they did not
even hit the brakes.
Contrary to people pointing out certain players this was a team debacle. There last three games were all played the same to.All half court sets, no fast breaks, lackadaisical efforts on offense and defense, no rebounding, stripped easily, high turnovers, poor coaching. Top to bottom pathetic. You can tell when they are going to lose on the road against poor teams by a low scoring first half and opposing team is ahead. Its a trend in most of there losses. Where did Sloan disappear to, he has plenty to say when they win, why not bench that five in the second half and start others. Maybe light a fire under the starters that if you don't want to get up for these games then we will put guys in who do. Come on you guys you are better than this and you have no room for error this year.

Give me a shot. I like to play the defense and go for the ball. I am hungry to
move feet fast and play with as you say PASSION.
Sloan | 11:48 a.m. Feb. 27, 2008
Dispite what many of you think, the jazz executed Jerry's defensive
gameplan to perfection. Which is to double anybody who touches the ball in the
paint (Gomes, Craig Smith) and leave everyone else wide open for 3 point shots
or easy drives to the basket because the entire team defense is out of
position.
I think the players gave a decent effort (not great) but Jerry's defensive philosophy gets exposed when the offense isn't clicking.

CCJAZZ | 12:15 p.m. Feb. 27, 2008
ID Jazz what I meant by turning the corner was that they need to show they can
rebound after poor play over a three game period. In december that is what they
lacked; getting their confidence back after playing poorly. When they went on
their winning streak many people said they had learned from dec's awful
performance and had "turned a corner" as a team. Tonights performance
will say a lot about that. if they come out flat tonight and chalk it up to
playing one of the hottest teams in the league, then they have not learned
anything. However, if they rebound from last nights ugly display of BBall and
show some heart to get back to winning ways then maybe they have learned
something.

The Jazz have to finish ahead of Denver to make the playoffs. That is it. The
tie-breaker scenerio could be important. If the jazz do this, they will
probably open with New Orleans or Dallas without home court advantage. Those
will be the games that matter this season. A February loss at Minnesota will
long be forgotten.
Basketball Genius | 12:43 p.m. Feb. 27, 2008
Key stats for ya Jazz are 20-5 with Korver. The five losses all against teams
currently not in the playoffs. What does that tell us. Jazz play to the level of
there competition. We are young and immature and stat driven if bolerjack
mentions double double again I'm going to punch him in his double double
chin. We need to mature and start pounding these sorry teams. Prediction Jazz
beat Detroit because they are a playoff team.

Boozer, Memo, and Collins. The three amigo's in the middle.....AKA Soft,
mashmemo, and flop. Was that Kenyon Martin body slamming Brewer to the floor
with his best impression of a Tag/Shaq shakedown. Following are the three
amigo's response. Boozer would open his hands palms up and stare in
disbelief and plead to the ref. Marshmemo would shrug his shoulders like he has
a tick, and flop would be out of there before contact was ever made.
