I must be seeing things but I think I just saw a glimpse of the old Booz with that drive left from the FT line with the left handed lay-up.

Deron makes an insane amount of mental mistakes for an elite guard. I'll take him over Paul in almost every respect, but the turnovers are quite frustrating.

Deron close to a triple double. But not a good one.

Wizards are really bad right now. Jazz wouldn't survive against playoff teams playing this sloppy.

It hurts me to watch the guy that played tonight in Deron Williams uniform... so I'll just ignore this game... in my mind this Jazz regular season will have 81 games...

A win is a win is a win. Sloppy we did play, but lose we did not. It's nice to see Korver making his shots now- he could be an important part of our team come post-season (if he decides to show up). This team is lucky to be playing Washington and OKC this week- we need the rest. Gotta watch out for Durant though....

The next few weeks are obviously going to be pivotal- Houston in SLC, @Phoenix, and @ Portland. I predict we finish up the remaining 6 games this month at 4-2, which would put us at 46-27. Not an awful record at this point, but definitely not great either. April is going to be Brutal.

Remember, tomorrow we are all Memphis and Indiana fans.

Deron's oop to CJ was #10 in SportsCenters Top 10 Plays (and on a night where a guy in a college game dunked and literally did a flip off the rim and hit his head on the ground). It was worth sitting through that game just for that.

How did we lose to this team in December? They are awful.

Is anyone noticing that Matt Harpring is getting pity minutes? What is the point of bringing him at the end of the 1st half? Korver and Brewer had both played well. There were like 3:30 left or something. This is the NBA. If you arent as good as the people in front of you . . . you should not play. Sloan clearly plays favorites. He wouldnt do that for anyone else. CJ was having an okay game. Bring CJ back in.

Miles is not going to win us a single playoff game; Harpring still can win us one or two getting into people's skin, so we still need to give him minutes.

Did you see the energy in the first half? Harpring should of came in earlier to get the energy flowing for everyone else IMO. Didn't look like anyone wanted to be there in the first half and it felt like a neutral court.

Deron's turnovers are just insane sometimes. And thing good/bad thing is that they are purely from lack of focus.

The good thing is he almost never turns the ball over late in games and in important games he's usually good about keeping his assists down to 2-3 a game.

But games like this are just insane. I guess it's a small price to pay, but it drives me crazy when in his past he has ridiculous NBA records like a run where he had a 36:1 assist to Turn Over Ratio over two games, that's the best in NBA history. You read it correctly, 36:1. And then tonight he'll go 8 and 8.

He just needs to pull that focus in for every game and hold onto the ball more, even if most of his high turn over games tend to be against bad teams.
