Whoa. Jefferson shouldn't even be on this list. One of the worst performances I have ever seen out of him. Couldn't make a shot to start the game so what does he do? Oh he keep moving further and further away from the basket. I really believe the Jazz would've won this game is Big Al had not played. I like Big Al but he did nothing tonight. Horribel D, awful rebounding, poor offensive attempt, and let KG push him around all night. Very disappointed in Big Al tonight.

This is probably me over-correcting for my Al Jefferson bias. I honestly have a hard time telling when other people think he played a good game, so I tend to err on the side of including him.

NOrmally I think he has a strong case to be player of the game, but he was just suck the other night. Just... plain.... suck.

After this Gordon pulls away in a top three race for the MVP. I wonder if Gordon gets more nods in losing games because he is consistent.

I like Jefferson more than most here but he was the goat of the game. As a team leader he can't let a punk get in his head like that.

Hopefully games like that and the last Scola matchup can teach him something about what the playoffs will be like. He's got to realize that he's the only nice guy on the court.
