Can't say I'm confident coming into this game. Utah looks to be the perfect team to rip us to shreds... but then again, so does most of the league at this point.

At least they get a few days to reflect on the raping they have endured in the last 2 games. Everything is telling me we'll lose this one too but hopefully this team gets its act together by tuesday

I'm going to say that we lose this one but that it will be close. Having a long break between games is what this team needs right now (I didn't think I would be saying that 6 games in).

Good job mixing it up Kanga. Hopefully good for the mojo around here.

Seriously... the old format just wasn't working. How long before I have to change back to the Kool-Aid avatar?

Yeah.. I thought it was about time for a change for this organization. I don't plan to change it up every 6 games, but we'll see if this "column" format is better luck.

Good lord, thats it...I think you should do that now lol

I remember when you removed it last year, it coincided with our losing streak...

This will probably be another loss. What are we like 1-22 the last 23 seasons in Utah? :lol:

I thought the addition of Brand and others would eliminate the need to drink the Kool-Aid but tough times call for tough acts.... and well, I do believe it's to make a batch of the Kool-Aid again.

*here goes*

So my new prediction for the Jazz game is this.... Sixers by 5+. The team will come out and begin to show signs of a team starting to understand each other and their roles. Iguodala won't have a breakout game but he will begin to fill the stat sheet the way we thought he would and Lou Williams will have a big night off of the bench.

Playoffs..... HERE WE COME!

Come to think of it..when WAS the last time we beat Utah?

We lose by 9999999999999999999999999999.

Iguodala has -30495345 point, Miller has -58345345 points on 57 shots, Brand plays 38 minutes and sees the ball once, Thad scores 20 on 60% shooting.

We're only on a 2-game losing streak to the Jazz. Although the last time we beat them, both Miller and Iguodala had good games. What are the chances that happens again?

Well, I usually look for positives in some part of their game ... BUT .... '

I see nothing positive now at all. This team is totally lost and without any identity at all.

They cannot RUN ... they cannot play HALFCOURT ... and they cannot SHOOT ...

I still believe they have plenty of talent but now they are in great need of solid coaching.

I am actually beginning to waiver on my confidence in Mo Cheeks. I am not ready to throw him under the bus, just yet. But I am watching intently to see if he can turn this around.

I think Ed Stefanski is also. He sees what we see.

Oh ... and as far as them beating Utah ... LOL ..... You have to be kidding ... LOL ...

Ha ha, seriously somebody must have hacked Dond's account and stole his password. :lol:

I don't think I have ever read a negative Dond post & questioning coach Cheeks? Sacrilege !!

First Philly wins a Championship & now this, truly signs of the apocalypse.

On wall street when the most positive bull turns negative you know the bottom is in. So I guess this is our bottom.

Dond's negative sentiment + GP's kool aid = 15 wins in our next 20 games. :wink:

Welcome to the dark side dond. If you're lost I'll give you a guided tour, first stop is Willie Green Mountain.

You have Ronnie Price and Deron Williams as the starting backcourt combo, don't think that will (would ever) happen. Also Deron probably won't play, he was originally going to come back for the Sixers game but his ankle injury is worse than expected and he'll be out for at least a few more weeks. So probably will be Ronnie Price and Brewer in backcourt.

I actually have little doubt that the team will turn things around. If they do it quickly then Mo is safe.

I just have doubts if this can be a 50+ win team without some major changes. 40-45 wins is still likely with some time to gel.
