Comments about ‘Utah Jazz: Stumble in fourth quarter, fall to Rockets’

And they tried to tell us their defense was different this year. HA! It's actually worse than last year. It must be that "20 pounds of muscle" that Andrei gained over the summer, he can't move anymore he's so burly. Again, HA! The Jazz are in trouble...no need to worry about New York's lottery pick, let's start thinking about our own!

Absolutely terrible. In all my years of attending Jazz games, I have never left that early. When you quit trying is when I quit cheering. Say what you want about other guys having off nights, but Boozer was terrible. You know it's bad when the fans cheer when he leaves the floor. The Jazz were outhustled, outsmarted, and outplayed. And it only gets worse with a back-to-back at Dallas tomorrow, followed by the Spurs on Thursday.

Very pathetic. Why can't we get some guys on the team who can shoot the ball consistently.

Time to boycott the Energy Solutions Arena.

22 million wasted dollars on Boozer and Millsap. A coach who may need to step down just to fire up the team. A supposed star point guard who couldn't defend his grandmother.

The only silver lining may be that Houston wins here on a regular basis.

Blowout loss tomorrow.

Lazy. Lazy. Lazy.

We stink!!

Just for a change a no name rookie has a career night against the Jazz.

Talk about no plan B, this guy is a relic from the past. He's been a great servant but this team desperately needs some new ideas.

Your time is up Jerry. (has been for 2 seasons now)

At this rate the jazz will get the first two picks in the lottery.

tank the rest of the season jazz and that will double your chance for the first pick in the draft. The jazz look HORRIBLE!

Williams took 20 shots how Allen Iverson of him. D will please less shots more assists. The point guard is not supposed to lead the team in shot attempts.
Jerry we couldn't try to go with a small line up? They were killing us with their small line up. You have to be flexible. You knew exactly what Houton was going to do but you had no answer for it.

Where has this team gotten better over the mediocre team of last year? This team in incapable of playing a full game. They play 2.5 quarters of competitive ball and if the other team plays 3 quarters the Jazz loose. Mental errors, lazy plays, and bumbling defense. It's early in the season, but so far, this looks like it will be a dissappointing season comparable to last year's let down. Mentally feeble and vulnerable.

Could be a double lottery pick

Second largest payroll in the league, and THIS IS ALL WE CAN DO, lose to the Rockets who were without Yao and TMac!!!. Come Miller, blow the team and start over, keep Williams and whomever else you see is worthy, but at least then when we lose we could say we are rebuilding, not paying the second largest payroll in the league and lose to the lowly Rockets. That's terrible.

GREG MILLER IS OPEN TO RESIGNING BOOZER!!!!!!!Well how about that headline ! Boozer is undependable and flat out frustrates the fans....GREG, HEAR US...please let him go...HE IS BAD NEWS FOR US. I wonder how the team feels when he flat out fails to play ball. WE need to grade up. Does Jerry also feel this way. Seems like he has began to coast as a coach. He should be downright mad at some of these guys the way they played tonight. Jerry, are you mad at some of these guys who failed to show up in the last quarter??????? You should climb up their frames. Find a way to motivate them maybe or bench them. That is what good coaches do.

This is just more from last season. And the front office didn't seem to think moves were necessary. I hope they are happy with their own product. Makes you think the real problem is in the front office

Wow...we're only 3 games in. Let's not hit the panic button just yet.

Boys and Girls lets go over some stats:

Houston 50 percent shooting
10-19 3S (5 OF THOSE IN THE 4TH)

Boards 46-38 offensive (hustle) 15-8
29-18 assists
14-19 turnovers
outscored us by 21 from 3 point line

I thought in the 2nd quarter Millsap and Price were at least instrumental in changing the game with theyre energy and defense

In the 2nd half no one did amything but make bonehead plays. Now Dallas and SPurs

Is there a reason Fez is on the bench? Funny a dunk within seconds. Okur scored a ton but was a -26

We all know Houston shoots 3s

I mentioned Battier and Buddinger live on 3s

Sure they were slumping but a tough man to man and all these open 3s do not go up

Brooks and Ariza do not even need monster games/ Ariza did his damage early. The role players..

Does Jerry and players not know Scola, Hayes and Landry attack the rim?

You only play them 3-4 times a year, that is all.


Same ol Jerry

The Boos were great.

Should have been more

i wont be surprised if they win their next 15 straight games and get a winning streak going. tonight is a good example of the utah jazz players simply punching the time clock, watching the rockets play a basketball game, and then heading home for the night.

now you see how blazers fans feel with portland losing to the rockets just a day or two ago, and portland is just as good as the utah jazz are.

Looks like a repeat of the opener at Denver -- total collapse in the fourth quarter.

And why did Fes and Koufos play only two minutes?

Big props to Houston. They showed what a team of "no namers" can do when they work together as a team and play with all their heart. Maybe the Jazz should step back and see how Houston approached the game. I know the Jazz can be a great team, if not an awesome team, if they actually put some effort into the game. The talent is there, but it wasn't used to the best of their ability tonight, not by a long shot. I feel bad my nephew had to see that game in person. I bet he left feeling a little short-changed. Too bad, he looks up to those guys for inspiration on the court. Come on Jazz!!! Show us the love you had when you went to the Conf. finals!!!!

This train wreck could be seen coming a hundred miles away and now it's here. The front office did a pathetic job this summer of just sitting on their hands instead of working to find us players who have heart and play defense. I would rather lose fighting, then just get it handed to us without even trying which is what this team has become. The organization has become so apathetic that it absolutely stinks. I am a seething Jazz fan right now, because everybody and their dog knew that this team needed to be changed after last year and all they did was sit on their hands all off season, hoping their problems would magically disappear. Well, they won't and while the rest of the Western Conference got better, we stayed the same-which is mediocre, because we have no guts or heart. Thanks KOC for nothing. I won't be watching many games this season because the aggravation is not worth it. Maybe next season we will have a team that wants to compete instead of just a bunch of overpaid, heartless millionares.

They got beat by a superior team with a superior coach and coaching philosophy.

How does the continuity Kool Aid taste now? What do you think SA will do to the Jazz? How about Dallas?

Boozer looks like he is afraid of getting hurt. I don't I blame him. He is rebounding but his offensive game is not there. Koufos can do what Boozer is doing for about a 1/10th the cost. Millsap also disappeared.

Houston is not big. They are quick (something the Jazz are not). Houston also uses the outside and 3 point shot in spite of no real bigs and they win with it. They play defense though physically over matched.

They are a superior team with a superior coaching philosophy. That was evident in last years playoffs. This years HOU team may be better than last years.

Resign Boozer and extend Sloan and watch the stands empty. I watched the first few minutes and decided I had much better things to do. I came back at the start of the 4th and went to check my stocks when HOU went on the 7/0 run which.

I refuse to watch this garbage.
