They only shot 9/21 in the 2nd, after a 15/20 first quarter, while we went from 8/20 (.400) to 11/24 (.458). Hopefully this trend continues.

I liked this smaller lineup Sloan put at the end of first half.
They were more active defensively.

Jazz don't score when Williams feels he needs to slow it down....the more he pushes it and the more people move on offense the better we do, obviously.

And I don't want to comment on defense tonight. Hell I almost wish Boozer hadn't played tonight, maybe then AK would have gone off like last time. But at the same time, Memo isn't helping him out much either in there.

Still, i keep watching. I feel something coming...

Our bench needs to step and start making an impact. Our bench is being outplayed....14 to 4 on points.....If our bench play can improve, I think our starters can start to make an impact, and we can get back into this.

WTF dude? If we score on the first play out of the half time break, and it's a 13 or 12 point game. 15 is not A HUGE margin, especially when you've won the last 19 at home. The Jazz trimmed the margin in the 2nd, so you don't half to put SO much weight on that first half.

And can we please, for once get some of this home-cookin that seems to happen against us more often than anything, Jesus.

Jazz are lucky to be in this game with how poorly they have played, but that is a good sign.

I expect the Jazz to pick it up in the second half, and as we saw a few days ago against Dallas, the Lakers are prone to letting teams come back.

I really hope the Jazz come back and play solid this second half, because they have looked horrible so far.

Yah... The Jazz are the comeback kids.. remember being down by 22 against the Pistons?

Odom has 8 rebounds and 5 assists... Deron has 7 assists and 5 rebounds

Yeah, I can't even remember when the Jazz get the benefit of the doubt for the refs.

Duiz · Post #276 » by **Duiz** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 4:04 am

You remember the Hornets game? We were down by 23 and cut it down to 4... I hope the home crowd goes ballistic.

Pai Gow · Post #277 » by **Pai Gow** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 4:04 am

I wish Gasol was playing, cause Turiaf is killing us.

Duiz · Post #278 » by **Duiz** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 4:05 am

We had the nawlings crowd against us... Come on Jazz... execute and defense..

I hate it how the Jazz have to give up these huge leads.

jazz__stoner · Post #279 » by **jazz__stoner** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 4:07 am

We have to run the semi-fast break and take advantage when Deron see's it and then run the offense.

We can not walk the ball up the floor standing and watching.

Run and push the ball then settle.

1-on-1 with Boozer will get him in problems, unless he finds the open men
