Last night it was Randolph, now it's Scola....... I remember we all complained about Boozer's defense, but really, has Millsap been any better?

Fesenko is so, so, so bad.

Looks like Miles may have one of his "I'm completely selfish, but this time I'll actually make a couple of my shots" games.

Hey Jerry, how about making an adjustment? Maybe chaning the starting lineup? Oh, wait, I forgot, that would require coaching...... And Jerry don't do coaching, he just runs his system.......

This is so bleeping frustrating.......

Scola had 14 and 5 in his last game, and 6 and 12 the game before....... Obviously, somebody matches just fine with him.......

He'll make em, he just usually gives the team time to work things out for themselves then he makes a move. And really, we've won quite a bit more than lost, so it's fair to think they can do it.

Problem is, in the West every game counts....... And home court advantage becomes vital in the playoffs...... The slow starts have been a problem all year, and nothing has been done to change that.......

This is what separates good coaches from great coaches, great coaches know which adjustments they have to make...... Sloan doesn't...... His just runs his system...... That's fine for the regular season, the Jazz are going to win more games than they'll lose...... But it's not going to do anything in the playoffs.......

I think reality has just settled in for me: The Jazz are not a good team.

I didn't see the foul, but I'm glad we got it :)

7 FGA in 9 minutes for Miles, never met a shot he didn't like.

Fair enough.

I think Sloan really did make good adjustments last season, and I'm not really as upset because I'm nost sure any other coach could/would do much better. I mean, SAS last season, hell, LAL just now. So it's something that happens. Sloan can't control health, energy or effort. I think Hayward needs to play more, but it's not clear as water as to who to sit or not play in favor of, etc. And we really need Memo, but...

Earl's a gritty player and never takes a play off but, please, can he give the ball up to Deron instead of screaming at full blast to the scene of a turnover! This Watson-Williams 1-2 is not working well and I think partly explains Deron's apparent lethargy.

Well, the fact that DWill is playing like crap doesn't help. Watson has outplayed him in the last 2.5 games.
