What's new

Portland Trailblazers (15-15) @ Utah Jazz (21-9) 12/27 7PM MST

Wesley Matthews nearly tripled Millsap's rebounds.
He was only one shine of Jefferson's.

When someone's SG is outrebounding your starting PF and C, you have problems.

Rebounding along with our lack of offensive production with our wings are our 2 biggest problems. I really don't see us moving very far in the standings without addressing this issue. Eventually the schedule, Deron's fatigue, or other injuries will take its toll. We desperately need to upgrade the 2-3 position. Help Deron out.
 
Jazz center Al Jefferson said that he played “great” defense on Aldridge and complimented the performance of teammate Paul Millsap. To Jefferson, Aldridge was simply sinking what he took.

“You get a scorer like that who gets hot, it seems like he can’t miss,” Jefferson said. “And when [he] did miss, they got the offensive rebound. It’s one of those situations that sucks for us on the defense end. If I had a chance to do it all over again, I would probably play him the same way.”

Nice
 
Have heard this for about 3 years now. Maybe more. Don't hold your breath

I'm not.

I'm just more of less stating the obvious.

I've lost faith in Kirilenko for the better part of this decade. Had I been in KOC's spot, I would have unloaded him even if it meant setting us back a year or two. His contract and cancerous attitude quite possibly makes him thee worst signing the Jazz have ever made.
 
Glad I had something better to do. It doesn't look like anyone besides Deron even showed up tonight.

Say what you want about Boozer and his various crappy ****, but when he suited up, he was consistent; grabbed boards, hit cutters, and put the ball in the damn hoop. No one on this team has resembled anything like that this year and the Jazz have been getting by with a handful of players capable of having a seriously productive game a certain percentage of the time (Millsap, Jefferson, AK, Miles), but there's no one guy you can count on. There are games where no one steps up to be the 2nd guy (let alone the 3rd) and when that happens, this team is absolute garbage.
 
Like I said, half of you bozos wouldn't know a real coach if one snuck up behind you and kicked you in the ***...

If you only knew how good you have it here in Utah... If you had ANY clue!

If ANY marquis player wanted to play in this boring state, and the Jazz were able to sign a Lebron, Kobe, Wade, etc... This guy would be piling up a mountain of championships and you guys would be kissing his *** game in and game out!

No offense to some of you who this doesn't apply to... But I find that most Jazz fans are just about as knowledgable as Vinylone... But able to post more than a sentence or two at the very least..

I love a good one liner... :rolleyes:

You betchya baby. Just give ole Jer a couple of top notch players, like Stockton and Malone, for 15 years and he won't have enough fingers for the rings. Yup.
 
I think as fans, it's more painful to watch than just seeing the Ls or Ws or the boxscores.

These games where our offense is just completely stagnant are really piling up. We all made excuses that it was early on in the season when these games happened. Then we made excuses for Jefferson and Hayward.

We're getting to the 1/2 point quickly and most of the time our offense is STILL stagnant. Unless Deron goes all world and makes an amazing play, usually our offense ends up with a turnover, a brick from one of our guards, or an Al Jefferson shotput miss as the crowd groans at our offense's ineptness.

I don't think I've ever seen a Jerry Sloan offense so painful to watch. No, not even in 04 (when we had guys like Ben Handgloben and Carlos Arroyo) was our offense so ugly....
 
I know the Jazz are not down with a mid-season trade, but is this season different?
 
I thought when the Jazz got Raja as a Wesley replacement, they had done pretty well. Last night's game showed I was wrong, Wesley >>> Raja. Jazz blew that one big time, big time. He coulda been a key piece, now or in 5 years while Raja will fade out and be gone soon.
