If it wasn't for turnovers, and the zone, we'd be up by 20......

It never ceases to amaze me how many careless and bad passes the Jazz make.

On the plus side, Collins is having a nice game.

1. This road trip (+the Denver game) is already a success as it could have easily be a 0-4 trip. Sure, Embiid and others weren't playing but a win is a win.

2. The turnovers were painful to watch. So many of them were just silly. This team might have had a winning record right now if it wasn't for the ridiculous number of turnovers the commit on an almost nightly basis.

3. Turnovers aside, Sexton was really good. Can't complain about 22+10 assists on 9-14FG.

4. Good news on the Collins front, he had a very nice game.

The reverse jinx is working perfectly! :lol:

Question whether Collins should be starting at center rather than Kessler and Collins goes off for 9-10 shooting the next game! We were lucky there was no Embiid though.

Jazz started the Collins, Markkanen, Font, Sexton and Dunn lineup the last five games. This lineup is averaging minus 2.2pts/game over 11mpg/game during the five games. The plus/minus is negative, but it's hard to argue with four out of five Jazz wins! Go Jazz!

Painful, aggravating, frustrating, name the emotion with how careless they have been. Not sure how they won last night when giving the other team at least 14 more possessions off turn overs. SO many are just plain silly... :crazy:

I had to laugh at one point when Boler said something akin to "it's hard to get points when you turn the ball over once every three possessions." :lol:
