Jazz making me sick!

[HolyToledo]

Im not sure it is happening to you guys too, but watching this team losing with Vets is actually making me feel physically ill in watching them. This cannot be healthy! I also read in a tweet that Big AL left the lockerroom early depressed, and Hayward never seen so down after a loss.

Last year losing didnt seem to bother me this much. I feel bad for this years players, Corbin, the organization and the fans. I would like to just see something new....like playing the young guys, a trade, just something to get me excited about watching this team. This has been an extremely depressing year.

I Agree Toledo! The vets can't stop any team in the fourth Quarter. The Jazz also don't have a point Guard who takes it inside to dish out, and of course no wings who can hit a damn shot in crunch time. None-Howard, Hayward, Miles, Bell. Maybe if Burkes could play he would take it to the basket or hit a shot. We need more athletic players who can shoot. This still looks like a Sloan team with no Sloan around. Please trade for a real point guard of any age and a real wing who can shoot the ball!!!!!

Everyone is overreacting. No one thought this was a playoff team and they are in contention, the fact that they are this frustrated after a loss is a positive sign.....I think after this stretch of games we will see a different team, they just need to learn to close out games (San Antonio, Houston, Minnesota were all within reach).

We are a lottery team. Always have been. Al and Paul already showed us where they lead us last year. This year is no different. Time to move em and let our young guys grow and get another pick in the process.

Better than getting a pick anyway with Al and Paul leading while stifling youth dev.

I was very impressed with our team tonight until 4 minutes to go. Corbin needs to adjust after the break and go back to having Millsap come off the bench. I don't think it would be a bad idea to teach Hayward a lesson... I think he is regressing when he needs to start to put his imprint on this team... he needs to stop being rewarded for lackluster offensive effort.

I would start:

Harris
Burks
Howard
Favors
Jefferson

I say Burks because I think it will soften the blow for Paul being shipped to the bench to have Bell there with him. I also think Burks is showing the most dramatic progress for the time he has been given. I feel he will continue his rapid ascension with more time. I am also just so dissappointed in Haywards level of play, and I think it will fire up Gordan. I then think we bring in Sap for Jefferson at the 5 minute mark in the first, Gordan for Howard, and Bell for Burks. Then Kanter for Favors.

I really think we need to avoid this Millsap/Jefferson combo until late in the fourth if the matchups work at that point.

and if we don't have a viable closer on the team?

I would start:

Harris
Burks
Howard
Favors
Jefferson

I agree with this lineup. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next couple of weeks. March 1st a lot of players come into play in trades that are not right now. By then the Jazz brass will know if their efforts to make the playoffs are just a pipedream (seems like it now), or if playing the vets has played into any trade scenarios. They will then look to play the young guys much more to set things up for the future I believe. If not, we will all have some legitimate gripes.

I read that apparently the knuckleheads on 1320 kfan were supporting trading Favors for a vet so we could make a playoff push. That's infuriating and just seems so damning. Are we truly without a voice? ... who has the fan's voice right now?
