Also the rockets are terrible tonight.


I simply can't accept how you play 20% ball away when you're capable of 70% at home. It makes ZERO sense to me. You should have atleast a 40-50% road record if you can win 70+% at home.


Completely agree! It's not just this team, but it's been the most frustrating thing with Jazz over the past 5-10 years.


We need to perform a lobotomy on the squad, then maybe they will put crap behind them lol. Maybe buy out half the road games and stick jazz fans in there. :-D

Nice that the Jazz were able to bounce back after last night's game.

Every time you want to give up on CJ he has a game like this......

If only he could be more consistent.......

WOW didn't even realize we had so many trips to the line. That's awesome! Last night we were like 50% from the line. This team is bipolar.

Streaky and not smart. BAD combination. On these nights you love him, but 75% of the time you want to kill him.

Hard to be consistent when he bases a lot of his game around taking bad shots which players can't be consistent with.

I really hope he is dealt with either Al or Sap before the deadline. I have wanted CJ off this team for two years.

Great game by Miles, Jefferson and Harris.

Jefferson didn't shoot well, but he had five assists (!), two blocks and battled for rebounds all night.

This game felt much more balanced offensively -- maybe it was because the defense got some easy buckets in transition.

Is it just me or was this game a trade deadline showcase?

Harris did randomly get sick half-way through the game.


My favorite part of the game: When Boler was reading the ask-the-announcers question about why Jeremy doesn't get more play time, he won the dunk contest. Matt replies on how there is more than dunking and blah, blah blah. 5 minutes later Jeremy dunks and Matt exclaims: "Why doesn't this guy get more play time?! He needs more play time"

Best. Commentators. Ever.

I actually liked Harpring's commentary last season...... But this year, he has been god-awful...... And that's being generous......
