top 3 candidates:
#1- November 7th - 104 Sacramento, 99 Jazz
Tyreke Evans coming out party dropped the jazz to a disappointing 2-4 record early in the season. Evans shot an incredible 19 free throws making 16(the jazz as a team made 20 ft's) and scoring 32 total points. This was a story of quarters, Kings dominated the middle quarters and the Jazz had a furious 4th quarter comeback just fall short. It was the kings first road win of the season, which have come few and far in between for the kings.

#2 - December 4th - 110 Minnesota, 108 Jazz
As if the first loss on the road in Minesota was bad enough, we followed it up with a home loss to those same pesky t-wolves. Johnny Flynn torched the jazz for 28 points including the game winner. But if the jazz would have made their free throws it wouldn't have been as close, they missed a total of 16 freebies going just 21-37. The Twolves have gone 5-35 on the road this season which is only topped by New Jersey's 4-36.

#3 - March 1st - 108 LA Clippers, 104 Jazz
This one was a road loss that didn't seem bad at the time. But since then the Clippers have gone just 3-17 so it deserves this spot. The jazz started slow to this game and played catch up the rest of the game, when the jazz finally caught up with just 16 seconds left, d-will missed 2 free throws that cost the jazz the game. Another young guard, Eric Gordon this time, hurt the jazz droppinig 24 points on us.

It's gotta be the Minnesota game.

Also an honorable mention to the following..

Losing to the Denver @ home to the Melo-less, Billup-less Nuggets.

Losing to the Hornets @ home

bingo. this one has more seeding implications than others and should have been more winnable than Minny or Sacramento games.

There are still two games left in the season but the game against Dallas early in the season left a bad taste in my mouth. The Jazz blew a big four quarter double digit lead and Sloan failed to make any adjustments in guarding Dirk. There is no way soft as apple pie Dirk should be able to go off against the Jazz like that, especially in the fourth quarter.

Whats your definition of worst loss? The worst losses to me are the losses vs team that we are fighting for playoff spots with because they are worth twice as much as the games vs crappy teams.

Bad losses can come in many forms and they all count the same. But when you face teams like Minnesota and lose to them, it's just as costly as losing to a division rival since you know they will lose to your rival most likely. Losses to bad teams cause more headaches and makes you start questioning your team because good teams aren't supposed to lose to bad teams.

Phoenix.

This one, most important game of the season.

Yeah definitely this one. Our piss ass effort didn't help, but man we were screwed from the start with no AK and no Boozer. Healthy, we don't really miss Brewer, but now we really do.

Every team has those bad losses but just think if we had D-Will for either the Memphis or Atlanta game. I know every team has injuries too but his **** seemed pretty minor.
