We aren't doing the same thing, even einstein can see that. We have some different pieces, and have much better health this season. If we are lucky, we will be pretty much healthy from here all the way into the playoffs. That didn't happen last year, so you can't say it is the same thing.

Plus, AK wasn't playing anything near this well last year.

Success in the mid-regular season doesn't mean anything when the playoffs start. What matters is how you are playing at the end.

It absolutely does. Regular season success gets us home court advantage. Every Jazz fan knows that we NEED that.

You can play the glass is half empty card if you want. Fact is that if you are going to blame Sloan for the losses you have to give credit for the wins. We are destroying the competition and they are good teams we are beating night in and night out.

Fun to watch, and with all Sloans faults you know what you get and 90% of the time I like it. If the Jazz have a strong second half of the season I can see Sloan in the COY discussions again.

Plus, I think most fans that bag on Sloan so much don't sit back to realize that when we are struggling, it is more than likely because they aren't following what Sloan wants them to do. He has his old man moments, and always will, but he does more for this team than you guys are willing to see or admit.

You really shouldn't try to think what most Sloan haters think. Thinking doesn't appear to be one of your specialties. You seem more inclined to swallow wahtever drivel is placed in front of you by an authority figure.

Thanks for proving my point.
