Exactly. Jazz **** their pants against Atlanta and now Boston. TBH, I'm now hoping for a Clipper renaissance so Utah at least has a chance at a top-3 pick. This team ain't going nowhere with the scrubs Utah has masquerading as shooters. Good gawd, the Utah offense is an abomination at times. Stevens has weapons even with multiple stars hurt; Quin has cast-offs.
Go Memphis!

I was completely able to blow off the Atlanta loss as just a case of running into the wrong team on the wrong night, but this loss to Boston without most of their starters is just indefensible.
Kind of just took all the wind out of our season IMO. I'm not sure I care if they make the playoffs or not if this kind of play is what we have to look forward to.

Boston shot 57% to Utah's 27% from 3.
Utah really had no business even being in that game, so I guess it's a moral victory to almost win after shooting that poorly.
This team desperately needs more shooting. Hopefully in the offseason DL can find something. Our defense is keeping us in games, but our offense has to get better somehow.

Dante Exum says hello. Time for Quin to let him play, for better or worse. We need to hone in on dudes who have talent Ricky is what he is

Not me. I want to see this team get rewarded for a remarkable turnaround. Want to see Rubio get a taste of the playoffs for the first time in his career, Rudy play through a first series without injury, Mitchell see what it's like.
Losses are gonna happen. Celtics were shorthanded but pretty deep, and they have a talented coach. I'm totally bummed about it, too, but only to the extent it hurts our playoff odds.

Is it just me or does anyone feel more comfortable with the Jazz playing on the road than at home. We seem to choke or play poorly at home quite a bit, even during the huge win streaks. We seem more focused and our defense really clamps down when we're on the road. Is guess that's good given that we won't have homecourt in the playoffs?

That was our fifth loss in 28 games. We're 23-5 since the first Atlanta loss. Rudy has missed 30 games or whatever this season, too. Yes, we need another scoring punch. Yes, we are not top tier yet. But we have two stars, a good coach, and are making a heck of a run as the season winds down. Seven games left. Can we get five? Six? Let's go.

Yeah, with GS banged up, it's really just the 8th seed that we must avoid. Getting swept by the rockets would be a total buzz kill after being so close to a chance at getting past the first round.
