"smoke and mirrors?".....that's what I would have called this thread...in fact, I was fixin to start one but read this first and it expressed similiar feelings I have. How are the Jazz winning? How can we be 8-4....and still look pretty much discombobulated on offense? I'm trying to figure it out but can't! Perhaps it's the defense, but that at times looks pathetic. We certainly seem to be doing better taking care of the ball....with few 20 plus turnover games, which seem to be common place last year. We have had some pretty flukey wins....but then, they still count, right? We are a better team than last year record wise, but are we more fun to watch?

Besides what has been said about the Jazz expecting to win at home I also think AJ and Bell press even more (especially AJ) wanting to prove/please the fans and then it just compounds onto itself.
I agree with this. Jefferson seems to really want to play well in front of the home fans and is thinking to much instead of just playing. I think that changes with him getting more comfortable with the offense.

Yeah, I agree. You can't really blame the guy. We've poured our support into him-- that always mounts pressure. I'm sure he'll get over it.
I think even Deron put too much pressure on him with his 'I'll make you an all-star' comments. Kind of a silly thing to say before he even starts playing.
I recall when Korver came to the Jazz he had a similar problem with performing at home, shooting much better on the road. After half of a season he fixed this, and hopefully this will be similar for Bell and Jefferson.
