Jazz @ Sixers, 1/22/11, 5:30 Utah time

Raja is becoming more and more of a disapointment. I don't see him doing hardly anything on the court. This has been going on all season. I have been patient because he didn't play last year, so I cut him some slack. But he is showing nothing out there.

We need something to jolt these guys back to playing hard.

I certainly don't like to see the Jazz go down like punks, but this is a slump and they do happen. Seems every year the jazz go through something like this.

And you know what? So does everyone else:

case in point.

Boston lost to Washington tonight

Know what? No comparison.

Boston had won 5 straight, 9 of the past 11, before dropping that one to the Wiz by 2. The Jazz were mauled by the Cs and dropped 3 games to sub-.500 East teams. That's 4 in a row. And with the next 2 vs LA and SA, oh well.

Watson 8 mins 0 pts 0 dimes....2 turnovers

That.

I wouldn't call our current predicament a mere "slump." It's something much deeper than that. A slump doesn't involve getting man-handled in most first quarters we play, losses to cellar-dwellers by 10+, etc. Changes need to be made. This isn't something that's going to simply "work itself out" given some time.

For the last week I keep hearing that "there's nowhere to go but up". THIS is up?

im done making game threads.

Craig is right about the fact that we did go thru a similar patch last year at about this point in the season. Then Deron hurt his wrist again and couldn't play, and we took off after that. Only to crash again right before the playoffs. Just gotta see what happens from here on out. Like I've said before, my expectations have been significantly lowered for this season. I'm in the IF we make the playoffs camp. And even if we do, I don't expect much.

When was the last time we won a quarter let alone a first quarter.

We won the 4th quarter at NJ.

Obviously AK was the problem maybe Sloan can find away to play Bell more then 48min when he figures that out he knows the Jazz will win.

 

[Sloanfeld]

God, we have no inside presense on offense at all.

And the Boozer haters are nowhere to be found!
