I mean....do I even bother arguing with such ridiculous statements?


....I'm going with no.

Welcome to the game thread. It was so awesome seeing so many posts from 2 freaking morons. At least they were blocked, but I had to read a lot of them when quoted...

Time to trade Miles and Fesenko, they are completely worthless in our offense. I know we can't get much back for them, but I am so sick of seeing them on the team... Fes has been in the league for how long and he still has no low post game? I know he is a fan favorite, but I'm just done with him. He is going nowhere fast.

[Ming Kong!]

There you go Deron, there you go CJ. The freedom to chuck up 3's off of fast breaks is all yours. Hope it keeps working out for you.

Hope you don't mind, but I need to steal that sig.

Jefferson played poorly, his worst night in Utah. But what I thought lost the game was the play of Williams and Miles.

I couldn't believe what I was watching sometimes. In the second half, the team game completely broke down and it became "I'm going to take over now."

Hayward should have gotten 10 shots in the 2nd half. He got 1 plus two touches and that was it. Several times Millsap looked at him wide open, and then passed the ball to Miles or Williams who weren't even in scoring position. What's up with that? Does Milsap want to win or throw the ball to his buddies?

Why give Hayward 10 shots in the second half? Because he was the only one consistently scoring. If 5 of those had been drives into the paint, he would have been fouled or have made the shot, or both. If you subtract the crap buckets in the last 2 minutes that Williams and Miles obviously shot for their personal numbers, they both shot only 40%, and barely 30% from the three point line, and a few of Miles baskets were on the inside. His outside shooting percentage had to be below 20%--again. Not getting the ball into the hands of people scoring, I put that on Corbin and Williams.

Poor passing and no fouling, especially on the inside, along with selfish play in the second half took the Jazz right out of the game. Corbin has a big problem if he can't get the Jazz to consistently play as a team.

Normally I'm dispassionate about games, but this one really bothered me. I've felt several people have been sandbagging lately, but this game was total player BS.

Hire Malone as an assistant coach to simply go into the dressing room and slap the crap out of a couple of players for not sticking to the offensive system. If they whine, let him slap them again!

Go for it man, open game. I was going to make some adjustments to it but didn't have time

Yes! Their play was infuriating to me. It's like this is what they've been positioning for this whole time, THIS is the adjustment they wanted. Freedom to break up the offense and chuck up bad 3's off of fast breaks.

I've been very, very "benefit of the doubt" with Deron and want to give him all the support I can as a fan...but I'm not going to lie:

I hope Malone cut him off in the parking lot and gave him something to think about.

sloanfeld thanks for the vote of support.

[retiredcoach]

Maybe I don't understand D-Will's wrist injury--strained tendon--but if I were playing, I would consider limiting my 3pt shooting while the wrist is a problem.

[GP]

Well on a positive note, Hayward played very well tonight. Starting to get his confidence back and his shot looked very good tonight.

[Soul Patch]

Does anybody have video of Malone during halftime?
