Chandler and Rondo didn't even play, this was not even a moral victory. Jazz gonna have a long time to think about it.

What?

Pretty sure they still have some really good players on their team and it was on the road. Only reason we lost was because of FT's.

Also pretty sure we don't have Alec Burks, or the guy who backs him up.
 
Jazz were clearly unprepared for Dallas's defensive gameplan. They shut down our **** bad.

Lol. Yes I did. And I'm optimistic about this team, unlike most on this board. They played well on defense and it kept them in the game. To hold Dirk to only 15 points is a good defensive effort in my opinion.

Yeah, I thought we played good defense. It seemed to me we were scrambling and playing tough. We let Barea get wide open a few times because of breakdowns, but overall we made them uncomfortable (and Ellis wasn''t 100%).

Remember though, the Jazz don't have a single NBA-calibur guard at the moment. Any time the Jazz can stay semi-competent is a moral victory in my mind. Our frontcourt is beastly.
 
Elijah Millsap really needs to work solely on his 3pt shot, specifically the corner, in the off-season. He has the defensive part down, but his shot blows and he isn't very confident with it.
 
If it wasn't for Quin screaming go under, we would have won this game. Good defensive effort. We also miss Ingles, he could get us some easy baskets with his passing and took some burden off Hayward.

That is why teams with little NBA experience don't rack up a lot of wins. I'd swear Dirk and Harris together have more NBA experience than our entire squad. This is why the perpetual rebuild is a bad idea. At some point you have to stop adding rookies and add experience, preferably playoff experience. For all of the slobbering about Oklahoma, they really haven't done much because eventually their talent loses to teams with better experience.

On a couple of those Burke was defending both Barea AND Parsons out on the line. He chose Parsons, which was the right move. Jazz defense is back to breaking down on the third rotation.

Lack of experience - every time they went to double Dirk he passed it out until they found a wide open player. When the double comes too early you leave your perimeter players out to dry.

He said game, you turned that into team. That's not really an honest way to communicate. I'm optimistic about this team too but offensively at least they stunk tonight. Defensively the 3rd was not good especially against the guards.
 
For the ones who asked to see the Halley comet, here it is(hopefully we won't have to wait 75 games until the next sighting):
