Well, yeah, but it will still be fun to watch. I think January is just the kind of month we needed to help get things moving. With no training camp, no pre-season, no extra practice sessions, no game-film time, no actual coaching opportunities, Ty was at a severe disadvantage, as was our team as a whole, compared to teams like the Spurs that have been together forever. We needed a month like January (lots of home games, decent schedule, etc.), and I think it will help us a lot in the long run, and maybe we will have a better road stretch than we anticipate, as in maybe we will win a couple or a few on the road and not just lose them all.

You simply don't know this to be true. There's no way to know it's true. For all you know, Gordon would have had an off night, or other people who contributed to this game would have contributed much less. Jefferson might have gone off. Maybe Hayward buries multiple 3's. If Gordon had been there, it would have been an entirely different game
NO is not invincible with Gordon, and we live in a dynamic world, not a static one.
Any team has the chance of beating any other team on any given night.
Eric Gordon prevented so many losses in his days with the Clippers.........

Jazz have shown that they can beat really bad teams - who also happen to be sans their best player on the back end of a back2back. I know a wins a win, but I still think the Jazz are top 5 worst in the league. And this is coming from a big optimist.

Are undefeated at home.
Lucky that Gordon and Bogut were out but nice to get wins
Younger guys seem to get more or consistent time.
Can't tell since they have simply been bad against good teams and Ok against bad teams
Burks shows that he is more than a MoAlmond type of chucker. Dude can pass and more importantly draw fouls.
Good at slashing as advertised, stil doing a lot of dumb rookie stuff
Jefferson is a black hole, but his shots are falling. His first game was a fluke. He has active hands on defense.
Hate black hole players but not at all what he is doing so far. Al has been great
Raja Bell is the new John Tucker.
Raja is doing the role he has been given and doing fine. He helps create a defensive intensity. As long as his minutes stay down being a starter is a good thing
Hayward should play point forward.
I would be happy with him simply becoming consistent at any one thing.
Howard is much better and active than I thought.
Curious about the Howard love on the board. Shot selection has been horrific at times. He has had good stretches and terrible stretches. Hope he gets it together in a consistent way. Not sold yet
Watson is solid. If only he were younger.
I love Earl's game

They may be that bad now but they wont stay that way for long. I am not predicting a Finals run or anything but I think we will see alot of improvement by Favors, hayward, Kanter and Burks this year. T hey will start to slowly take over the team.

One of the few times I want to rep you and I can't.
How hard is it to PnR these days? For a team that established itself through the PnR, we sure suck at it.
We've had three blowout losses, compared to two narrow wins and one decent win over a very hobbled Bucks team. We are not playing .500 baskeball yet, despite our record.
That siad, I'm encouraged for our future. Players seem to be developing well.
Selective memory. Some rookies got considerable playing time on his watch. With this team, Sloan would not have kept Burks or Kanter off the floor.
