I'm not usually one for superstition, but I blame this surreally atrocious performance on all the "we destroyed Denver and we'll do it again" trash talk. Karma, I tell you!

... or we just suck. God, this is **** painful. We look so clueless.

What happened to AK? He looked awesome in preseason and now he looks like his old crappy self.

You know who sets a good screen don't you?

Yeah but only half of the time. The other half he was injured with sore hang nails and the like.

As abysmal as the Jazz are playing, I can't say I'm surprised/disappointed. I figure is going to be a rough couple of months until this team gels and gets the hang of the offense as well as the past team. It'll be hard for me to be patient.

Jeffersons got a lot to learn as far as playing sloan level intensity

Are you kidding? He's looked great, and has attacked the basket more than once. His jumper just won't fall.

his jumper wont fall bc he is nervous and scared. He needs to play with more confidence and it will come but he is playing scared. It is expected from a 20 yr old rookie. by mid- season it will fall. Im his biggest fan here!!

Disagree, but that's fair enough. Took your "scared little boy" thing to mean he was passing up opportunities, not wanting the ball, making bad decisions, etc.

just when i get on Sloans bandwagon he has players get into a zone. not a good idea to say the least. When need aggressive D to get steals and breaks not a zone moron sloan

For the record, I wanted the Jazz to draft Arron Afflalo....just saying.

Nice to see us show up but it's waaaaaaay too late.

I've liked the effort this second half. But we're blowing SO many gimmes.

HolyToledo · Post #155 » by **HolyToledo** » Thu Oct 28, 2010 3:05 am

I have Millsap and Jafferson in Fantasy BBall. MIllsap carrying his weight but Jefferson yikes.

I'm disappointed but not surprised. Seeing Price and Watson in at the same time was depressing.

It's a pretty low threshold.

We played the Nuggets well for six games with CARLOS BOOZER just six months ago. Now look what happened.

It's game one, and on the road, too early to tell how good we can be. Also Denver pretty much has the same team in place, while we have 8 new players. I'm just happy with what I've seen from Raja, Hayward, and Evams.
