With 2:38 to play, you can put this thing on ice. Clips down 20. Dissapointing effort by the guys, the Jazz are just having their way with 'em, especially in the paint. I don't know how many open layups/dunks I've seen, but pretty much every last one has been for Utah (minus a Maggette steal & dunk). I thought the Clippers were gonna show up and do their thing today...I was wrong.

This game was a wash from the jump. 109-93. Jazz with the win. :nonono:

I don't understand why we have Ross in the starting lineup if all he's gonna do is put up a big fat DONUT :nonono:

btw another solid effort from Thornton and Powell!! :clap:

To quote a wise man (who has his place on this very board, no less), "Two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered by water. The other third is covered by Q. Ross." That skinny boy can play some D.

It is disheartening to see him put up 0 for the nth game, but he brings it with the effort every day. He's in a slump for sure, but he'll be all right.

Yeah that's what every Clipfan tells me but his so-called lockdown defensive leaves alot to be desired especially when the man he's guarding just blows right by him everytime they attack the rim. Also, Knight was ghost in this game as usual. :nonono:

To sum this game up, the Jazz played physical, while the Clippers did not want to play at all.

There's not much else that can be said, other than Corey and Al had some decent games.

We just didn't match Utah's toughness.

Thanks for the compliment JJ.

My cable was down again so I only caught the 2nd half of the game on the radio but maybe it's best that I didn't watch based on some of the comments. Both teams had a lot of turnovers which is crazy but the Jazz were able to capitalize more off of ours. Defensively we didn't do much. Utah put up 60+ in the paint. I hope that they show more against the Kings on Wednesday.

The Jazz just ran away with the game in the 2nd, another loss for us
