How can we win when we're playing 3 on 5?

Seriously. We have two starters who play like D-League scrubs 80% of the time. It's gotten to the point that Harpring/Boler gush praise all over AK if he can even manage to make a wide open layup. Or if Bell hits a wide open jumper. Pathetic.

It's too bad we couldn't have somehow acquired Richardson before Orlando.
 
This team just doesn't have the weapons. Earlier in the year, defense, gritty play, pride, and confidence dug out a few wins that the Jazz shouldn't have had. The D and those intangibles are slipping away and the team simply does not have the firepower to make up for it. For starters, it would be nice to be able to depend on anyone besides Deron to be halfway consistent with creating offense but that's just not the case.

I'm not advocating a return of Bozzer, but whenever he suited up, you knew what you were going to get every night and that allowed other people clarity of role and less pressure. Hopefully Jefferson's play the last two games is a sign of things to come.
 
I was about to say that Deron did not have a great night shooting-wise but then realized that he played despite the flu. It is sad that the other guys did not pick it up
 
Deron Williams is our Jesus. Yeah, he went 5-13, but he scored 20 points. That's ****ing elite. And 10 assists with 5 rebounds? With the flu and playing with two other teammates with everyone else totally MIA?

If the Jazz compete, I'm not that concerned about Deron leaving. If we keep getting performances like the last two, I can GUARANTEE you he leaves.
 
Looks like Big Al wasnt quite 100% either with a bruised butt. This was the perfect game for someone like Millsap to step up and have a big night and help us.

What about zero effort Paul Millsap?
 
AK and Millsap seem to alternate games where they care. Sadly, there are also games where neither seems to care.
 
Sap is still my favorite player on the team. But he's been dreadful the past few games. Frankly, if his play continues like it has been he should get his starting job yanked and let Memo come in and start.
 
Sap earns a credit with a good game, and then goes on to spend it the next 5.
