I remember a time when the Jazz liked Murray in the draft and considered him, but in the end we only had picks in the second round and he went 29th, though I don't remember the circumstances. Well, he's done well for himself and turned into an allstar after having do deal with injuries. Good for him. The guy puts up 20.6pts, 8.4rbs, 9.4 ast and 2.1stl. That's pretty awesome.

As for the rest of the Spurs, they aren't faring that well, and the Jazz should pull out a W if they take the game seriously. ESPN lists Bojan as OUT.

If The Spurs win tonight, Popovich will be the winningest coach in NBA history.

A lot of respect for him, but damn!! Couldn't he get that win against another team?

I don't know if we can win this one easily. Let's see what happens.

Go Jazz!

Danuel House really looked good in the first six minutes of this game. NAW is getting a chance now.

I should have known we'd lose. You can always count on the Jazz to allow other players, teams and even coaches to break records and notch milestones at their expense.

Yes, that is exactly my thought when I saw we would play them.

We always make history in the wrong side of it (I won't even mention those moments here because it is very sad).

And on another subject, how sad it is losing games when you have a lead for 10 or more points in the forth quarter? How much respect you lose from the opponents? I would say a ton. Like you lose it all.

"Hey we are playing the Jazz, don't worry, they will eventually lose the game to us". "A playoff against The Jazz? Bring them on, I couldn't ask for a better opponent". I think it goes something like that.

Terrible.

Well just when I thought the Pel's blowout was the worst loss of the season, we do it again. Up by 15 in the 4th, then lose again. This has to be close to the 10th time the Jazz have been up by over 15 in the second half of a game and lost. The worst part of that is that most of the losses are against the bottom feeding teams. There have been multiple games where at some point they were up by 20 and lost, I can't recall one game this season when they were down by 15+ and came back to win.

I agree with you Deniz, NO ONE fears facing this team come playoff time. I would even bet that teams are jockeying to see if they can get a first round match up with them. The Clippers did that last year, knowing that if they faced the Jazz in round 2, they had a pretty good shot at winning. Q has become way too predictable and this team seems to be more interested in smiling and hand shaking post game than the are about winning in the clutch. Another pathetic loss, its getting nearly impossible to believe this team has any shot of winning a playoff series against anyone.
