Don't forget Jefferson's dissapearing act.

It was a tremendous, tremendous comeback. But, it didn't show me that the Jazz are back to their cutting, passing, pick setting ways.

Ok so 9 of his 46 points weren't typical jazz points so you write the game off as some sort of fluke? I don't give a crap what jefferson did or didn't do in that game because our offense was unstoppable. How many wide open layups did paul get? They were getting good looks all night but just didn't hit shots in the first half. As this game showed, the law of averages always wins out!

I am in no way writing the game off as a fluke. It was a great win. This team can win games with effort and talent.

My point is that they aren't doing it in the same fashion that we've seen for 20+ years now.

Great individual play isn't the same thing as great team play.

How many assists did deron have again? 30 team assists? That is the very definition of team effort.

Ok, I'm willing to entertain 30 team assists as teh bar for 'Jazz' play.

How many times this year have the Jazz passed that bar?

Will they pass it tonight?

Are they doing so at a clip comparable to the last 22 years of Jazz basketball?

Again, 7 games in with arguably the most important part of our system a rookie to it, this is getting ridiculous. :roll:

Ok, looking at some historical stats 30 assists is way too high.

I don't think last night's game helped identify this team but rather muddled it even further. We need Jefferson to establish himself in this offense as a go to option in the low post... bottom line.

This simply comes down to him making his shots. It's not like he is getting shut down by great defense, he is just missing shots that he has made his whole career. If anything, that is the anomaly this team is suffering from. In my mind, they are 4-3 DESPITE his shooting woes, and that is remarkable. That goes for Raja as well.

Last night felt like a classic Jazz game to me. Come back win, long odds, hard work.

I see nothing but hard cuts, screens, and great passes tonight. Al is even playing good defense on Dwight. It has only been 6 minutes, but this is classic Jazz offense.

Jefferson did better running within the offense in Orlando. He is starting to figure it out on the offensive side. Chemistry is coming around, still have a long season to figure it out. Then we also have to work Okur back into the lineup when he is ready.
