Utah Jazz: Nets beat Jazz on Jefferson's bucket
27 comments | Read story
2-2 on this road trip was absolutely unacceptable. I the Jazz want to make ground and earn themselves homecourt along with a higher seed, they've gotta start putting these teams away
As much as we love D-Dill, you have to hang the loss on him. Harris outplayed him. He didn't try to get a two-for-one after Brewer's great play. He was just physically and emotionally exhausted. And he threw the ball out past the three-point line for low-percentage shots three times in the last two minutes.
Just a brutal loss. They will really have to scratch and claw to make the playoffs now.
A home loss or two are just around the corner. Tonight pretty much guaranteed a first round loss at best against San Antonio.
Can we say the Jazz are a better team when he is not out there?
Why was our only interior defentor on the bench when Jefferson scored the winning "layup"?
What would your post have said then? D-Will is the man, he always finds the right guy that is open. Korver missed two wide open shots, so you can blame it on D-Will, AK, Coach Sloan or whomever you want, but if you can honestly say you thought the Jazz were going to win the championship this year; then I might listen to your complaining.
The Jazz will win the next 6 or 7 straight games and everyone will be saying; we are contenders and we have a shot at the number one seed. Back off the ledge and let the season play out. Youll be ok!
The bottom line is the jazz shouldn't have let the game come down to the final two minutes, they should have put them away when they were ahead by ten.
20000 home fans push the Jazz to victory at home. On the road coach Sloan has no ability to physic his players up, in no way against the worse teams. It is not hard to get up for the great teams, so Sloan, you don't even have to worry but against the weaker teams is where you should earn your money. It is not all Sloan's fault but Sloan never has and never will be a coach that it was his court side coaching that made the difference in a game being won. He can't substitute properly, his game management and time outs are poor at best. Some coaches actually coach their clubs to victories, especially in the close games. If you don't agree you haven't played team sports.
Watching CJ and Price at least give it there all on defense, trying to beat their player to a position, take away his penetration is refreshing after having just thrown up all my popcorn watch lazy effortless defense by our PF and Center.
I don't like the feeling I got. We lose one at home and the confidence on this team could come tumbling down fast and we can be following 8 other teams in the playoff. Boozer and Okur are big talkers, but Sloan won't make them back it up. Boozer had 41 points, how many did he give up the first quarter. 41, big deal.
GO JAZZZZZ, I BELEIVE
Excuse theories come plenty each time the team suffers a stupid loss,against inferior opponents; and this mentality amounts from the era of Stockton & Malone. Sloan for one, has never been short in theories: "Old age", "tired legs","selfish","lack of execution" and now "youth"? The Jazz ,for as long as I can recall have always been inconsistent regardless who is on the team, the one constant however, being Jerry Sloan himself. So you go and figure this out.
Player changings are so static and sure to happen. Names and minutes are well known by everyone. To me, those must be so dynamic, unknownable and result giver even for 30 sec. to play with him. These kind of changes give the player high effort desire to make the mission successfully, also makes other team's coach and players confused. Send the player to the floor, let him finish the mission and pull him back to the bench. On some way, bench is for those special actions during the game. Create suprises! (i hope all of u can understand what i said..my english ...you know) GO JAZZZZ
On the other hand, one loss will put the Jazz out of playoffs picture. Continuous faltering against mediocre teams will definitely oust them in the playoffs race.
