GT: Jazz @ Super Sonics | 12/13/15 | 5pm MT

Sigh...

This was a game we could have, should have won. You catch a team like OKC slippin' and you play a great game and then you lay down and take the loss anyway. It's frustrating. I'm frustrated. I'm sure the players are too. I'm sure Hayward is thinking about his bad pass with 1 sec to go. I'm sure they all wanted to win.

I don't think this team sucks, but you've got to be a little realistic and see that if this is what the team does than this is who the team is.

Sure it's frustrating, but I think what keeps getting lost here is the fact that these close Jazz losses this season have been, aside from the Detroit game, exclusively against elite teams. Cleveland, Golden State, OKC (twice). Those teams are all just fantastic down the stretch.

I'm still onboard for this season. I'm not giving up. But this should have been a ****ing win.

I agree.

NOW TAKE ANOTHER TWO SHOTS AND GET FIRED UP FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. WE GOT THIS.

Are you delusional? The Jazz were up 16. They were in control the last minute of the game. They didn't need to let this go to OT. Smarter players wouldn't have let this go to OT. You have a better team on the ropes you knock their *** out! I'm not saying the Jazz should have won because the Jazz are the best ever, I'm saying the Jazz worked (hard) to get themselves into a position to win and then took a giant ****.

of course. Young teams are young teams.

44 wins WOULD be exactly what I was hoping for this season. So yea, that'd be great. But I don't know what you are seeing that makes you think 44 wins.


'People are disappointed we didn't win a game when we were up 16. IDIOTS!!!!!!'

You are full on homer/moving goal posts this year bro.


*Picking #12 after the lottery*
"This was the goal this season all along you fools!!!"

did you factor a Rudy injury into that 44 win record? Cuz i'm betting that no one else did. Ironically, I still think they hit it even with him gone. This team has showed us tons, and it's impressive to see them still in the playoffs after such a gauntlet of a schedule.

Before the season started I went through every game guessing which games would be wins and losses, and ended up with 45 wins.

At this point I predicted the Jazz would be 9-13. The schedule past mid-December is far FAR easier than what the schedule has been thus far. Just chill.

We've had the 7th toughest SOS so far, are missing Gobert, and should've won tonight and thus should've been sitting at .500 despite that. After tomorrow, we will get warm.

Teams get injured. Have to roll with the punches. We weren't exactly lighting the world on fire with Rudy.

I also didn't predict that the West would be pretty crappy at this point, and we still can't make a move up the rankings.

Would you call Hayward and Favors rookies?

Lots of these being thrown around this year.

I can't believe how many people are bitching over close losses to elite teams.

Did you think we would be better than Cleveland/GSW/OKC this season? Because those are who all of our close losses are to (aside from the DET opener).

I would call them young players.

I hugely agree with this. This game has nothing to do with moral victory, we threw away a game that was already in our pocket.
