I get so sick of Harpring and Boler's constant blabbering about how such-and-such team is just ON FIRE from behind the arch, the Jazz just can't do anything about it.

Bull. There cannot be another team in the history of basketball that allows so many open 3's off failed "attempts" to guard pick and pops/pick and rolls. ****.

It is as simple as this! They are a much better team than the Jazz. The Jazz need to look at blowing their team up by trading away DWILL or make the team better by taking on additional long term contract(s) for AK-47, but ownership may not be willing to go that way. and being statisfied with the team being average.

They are not better than us when we play like we did in Denver.

They just came in and hit A LOT of 3's. Simple as that. Sucks that we had a game like this right after such a good win, kinda kills the momentum of the team. I hope they are mentally strong enough to realize this is just one of those games where a team gets hot and there is nothing you can do about it and move on/keep playing hard.

Yeah, I still want them in the first round. We can take them!

Hopefully, they take 3rd seed if we're not going past the 6th.

Yeah it's not the end of the world, but I've got to disagree with you...D was atrocious and most of those 3's were completely unguarded thanks to failed pick defense. Players realize it, just read the post game comments.

To be honest, I think a lot of the 3s weren't completely unguarded. I saw several players make 3s with a hand in their face. I think Green got most of the wide open 3s, but that's where our defense fails, when they have a 3 point shooting big. 4/4 from Westbrook doesn't happen ever. He would have made those if Gary Payton were guarding him. You also can't ignore that the Jazz only hit 3/18 from 3, Deron didn't hit a single one, and neither did CJ, and their D was just as bad as ours. That's just not going to happen that often.

Anomaly win for OKC. Too bad, after that first quarter, I thought we would roll em.
