Thoughts the morning after - 10/28/10

2 plays summed up the night for Jefferson: Twice in the 1st qtr Denver posted Shelden Williams on him - first time Jefferson sent him to the line, the second time they doubled Shelden Williams (no digging by the guards, a straight up DOUBLE-TEAM OF SHELDEN WILLIAMS!) and he passed out of it and Melo got a dunk. Al will play much better offensively, but if he can't improve his defense against a Nene/Shelden Williams frontline the Jazz may be better off starting Fes to clog up the middle and bringing Millsap off the bench like they did in the playoffs.
 
I was incredibly upset and emotional last night. So much so that I didn't even play with myself before I went to bed. I just wasn't feeling sexy.

Like I've said over the years, I don't mind losing, just as long there's an effort there...and there ****ing wasn't.
 
The VERY worst thing I saw all night was the only time the offense was actually run like a Utah Jazz offense was 2 straight possessions in the 4th with, IIRC, Hayward, Fes, Evans, Watson and Price(?) on the floor.

That lineup shouldn't be the ones showing the starters how Jerry wants it done. That's an inditement on Dwill and Big Al. Hate to say it but Al was completely lost out there like he just cleared his physical after being traded 2 days earlier and Jerry threw him in. Not after a month of training camp. But then Deron is the floor general and it shouldn't take till the 4th with a bunch of rookies and borderline NBA players to show these guys how to cleanly run the offense.

Y'all better quit with that Batman and Robin stuff until they learn to play together.
 
Yeah, our lack of energy and all-around terrible offense by the entire team was a big part of the pathetic loss, but a bigger implication of the game comes down to the TOs and fouls. If the Jazz expect to contend with so many fouls and TOs they are delusional. Of course, our motion offense lends itself to more TOs, but many of the ones from last night were unacceptable. And for once I'd like to see our team not lead the league in fouls. Also, I'm already seeing several people making comments like "give them time, this unit needs to get to know each other" and "they are young, they will learn." The latter is just ludicrous and the former can only be used for the next two or three weeks. If people are still talking about chemistry a month from now, I'll be peeved.

The biggest problem I had with the team was the complete lack of emotion. The guys looked like they were running in cement. Denver certainly added a few pieces that played well. There were too many dumb passes, missed layups and jumpshots and a lack of focus. Where was the energy? The team just rolled over which is the last thing I expected. I can take losing but when you do not compete it is embarrassing.

The biggest disappointment to me was CJ. If he doesn't play well off the bench the Jazz will struggle scoring.

I know it is one game but at least show up and be in the game mentally.

How can the Jazz even get anything going when the refs won't even let the players onto the floor??

That game had one the longest, and most boring halfs I've ever seen in NBA basketball.

The refs obviously made an example of the Jazz last night.
