Utah Jazz (27-13) @ Washington Wizards (11-27)

I don't think Sap deserves to have sh*t talked on him, he brings it every single game. Sadly, playing hard doesn't = being good enough to carry a team. He just isn't. He is good enough to start on many teams, but his minutes have to be limited because he just wears down as the season goes on. We don't have much of an option besides him at this point, until Okur is healthy. Then I think Millsap should come off the bench.

Millsap got abused by Blatche on D and couldn't make a shot to save his life. That was the ballgame.

Millsap was quite awful today.

This was an embarrassing loss but it's not a big deal. Same can be said about our wins against the EC teams too, not a big deal. Though, it's good that those wins versus the East are keeping us a top 5 team.

It's our record against the WC teams that concerns me. We're barely .500, not sure where we'd be in the standings if we didn't play all those Eastern teams.

[Efernand]

maybe with AK's contract off the books we can sign people who can actually score the ball.

You can sign anyone you want, they are not gonna be dropping 20 on 4 shots.

Have you looked at the west standings? No big deal? really? Go peak at the west standings, every loss against bad teams is huge. 1 loss could be the difference between a 2 or 3 seed and 7 or 8.
Or hell even out of the playoffs all together.

I see how tight the standing is but I also see how mediocre we against teams in the West.
3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th seeds....would it even matter where Utah ends up at if we can't even beat any of those teams?

We're 1st round exit team at this moment, even with HCA. Thunder, Nuggets, Blazers and hell even the Hornets can probably beat us.

The Lakers lost to the Clippers last night. Games like this happen; regroup and move on. I didn't get to watch the game but it doesn't look good on paper. Regardless, it's one game.

How much did one game cost us last year?

[Sloanfeld]

Nothing like driving 200 miles to a game (and back) to watch us play like crap. This would have been a blowout had it not been for some hot three point shooting.

The Clippers are not the Wizards. For a start they've two players for whom I would trade any Jazz player not named Deron Williams. Their record is misleading.

[Reckless]

The Clippers are playing well right now

Wizards would be decent if they weren't so awful on the road. They'll probably beat some other western playoff teams at home but get killed by them on the road. They are a talented team though, so it's kind of hard to understand.
