I figured this would be a tough game. Only down 7. We will heat up.

Did cage really just say Melo froze the Jazz defense when he held the ball?

Yeah, this is awful all around. It's not just 'missing good shots.'

Pull-up three with 4 defenders back?

We're supposed to be a 2nd tier contender and our only hope against Utah is that they don't have their legs in the second half...

Couldn't draw up a worse start. It started with us missing a lot of good shots and it's spiraled into us just taking a lot of jumpers and missing everything. This is ugly. Paul George and Russ can't make driving layups, but their short, stocky white PG (Neto?) can make a finesse layup over a bigger layup by throwing it high off the glass.

We've scored 16 points in 15 minutes. I feel like I'm watching last yer's team again. We're at a point per minute pace.

Maybe this is what we need. Quit making big three promo videos and learn how to run an offense.

We're just missing shots. Good shots. Some of it's been great defense by the Jazz but it's been equal parts us just missing good shots. unfortunately, tonight we're playing a competent team instead of the Knicks.

And the continuous turnovers don’t help either.

I don't even know who to blame because everyone is awful. And cage is a moron still, so I guess the more things change...

We're supposed to be pretty solid this year. Game two and we look just as incompetent offensively (against good defensive teams) as we did last year.

Oh, and that was definitely a kicked ball that went uncalled on our last possession.
