Just like the Miami game we have no chance so that means with this team we win. You never know with the 2011-2012 Utah Jazz. Just watch and hope the old guys dont blow it.

Hmmm... Odom's D-League assignment has been canceled because the team believes he is "needed" for the Utah game. I wonder if the D League thing might have been a ploy all along to allow Cuban to come out and cancel the assignment and make Odom feel needed.

I think the original assignment probably made him feel worse than the canceled assignment makes him feel good.

I wonder what personal issues are going on with that guy... ? That's a lot of money to be paying a guy to not even show up at the arena.

God it would be great if we could continue the type of energy we had last night, but I just don't see it happening. I have a feeling this is going to be a hard one to watch.

Odom killed us this season too

Ahh the condensed schedule, you gotta love it baby! We have all of 24 hours to celebrate a victory over the best team in the league before reality sinks back in.

Makes sense, since Odom is a natural born Jazz killer

Away game against good team = loss.

Jazz are taking way too long to explore their offensive options tonight. Seems like shot clock is already down to 8 when they go away from the first option.

jazzgasm · Post #15 » by **jazzgasm** » Sun Mar 4, 2012 2:16 am

Already going down hill :-(

Post #16 » by **StocktonShorts** » Sun Mar 4, 2012 2:28 am

Ty needs to let Hayward and Burks try to create. Trying to start the offense from the post isn't working tonight.

Al is on track for a classic Al game.

I sure hate watching when it's so obvious how the other team is simply more talented. We could really use a player that can make a shot.

Post #18 » by **StocktonShorts** » Sun Mar 4, 2012 3:00 am

For some reason I was okay with Karl Malone taking face-up jumpers from 20 ft.

Al Jefferson? Not so much.

HolyToledo · Post #19 » by **HolyToledo** » Sun Mar 4, 2012 3:02 am

how dumb are we? Easiest guy to guard on the floor is Dirk. Simply shadow him and dont help on Defense off him. amazing stupid defense.

Post #20 » by **StocktonShorts** » Sun Mar 4, 2012 3:03 am

Hayward really needs to look for shots. He acts like he's Earl Watson when gets in the paint instead of an athletic 6'8" dude.
