Pesky 'Wolves feast on Jazz turnovers

one word: stupid

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! Sincerely, the Minnesota Timberwolves, "Loss" Angeles Clippers. Miami Heat, Miami Dolphins, PS-Make the world a better place, punch a Piston in the face.

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???

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 from Republic of Macedonia

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.


B.Y.U. > jazz

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.

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..

This Jazz team can't beat a high school team on the road...

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.

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.
