Utah Jazz vs Washington Wizards - Monday January 17th, 2011

[Sloanfeld]

The game is at 11 AM? WTF?

Always matinee on MLK day. Where have you been?

I got to remember to Tivo this one like tonight before I forget and wake up halfway through the game.

Remember the last time we played the Wizards in an early game? Not sure if it was on MLK day or not. But Arenas drained a last second, 35 footer right in D-Will's face.

It's a good thing that John Wall can't shoot outside of 3 feet!

Yes, that was on MLK day.

There is a replay of the game on at 2 PM MT on FSN Utah for those that are worried about sleeping past it.

Wizards are not a team actually, right now. They also lack leadership and chemistry.......

.....and skills, talent, brains, smarts, athletic ability....oh, did I mention brains???

He's a millionaire while you're living in a trailer park. That's not an insult. It's a fact. You've said it on multiple occasions. And I'm not saying our lifestyle is an indicator of our brains but sure as hell, this kid is 20 and set for life while you're bitterly typing **** up on Jazzfanz, listening to your neighbors, five feet and one double-wide away.

No excuses for this game - Washington has beaten one team all year with a winning record (Portland).

You're overreacting, yet again... I think you did not really intend to say those words.

J. McGee, Blatche, Wall, Hinrich are all pretty good athletes, they might lack some of the basic, and most valuable aspects of the game, not only the skills but also things like passion, spirit. Regarding BB IQ, development of players on a consisent basis, how players behave on and off the court, it's a little bit off topic but, the basic reason is the disgustingly dabbler level of college basketball nowadays, and most importantly the fact that most of the coaches are playing to win, not develop the skill level of players and help them get physically and mentally ready to be real professional basketball players, who cares about much more and different things than stats and individual success, the sponsorships, fullfilling their egos. Look at the deceitful, immoral Calipari. He still has a job in NCAA, I cannot believe, and he gets big names out of high schools and uses them, does not help them improve themselves A BIT. Tyreke Evans, Derrick Rose... watch them in high school games and in their first NBA years. Exactly the same players. Now he is trying hard to get Enes Kanter, a top3 prospect of this draft class. And there are lots of winning-first college coaches. The coaching mentality is at least as guilty as the prospects ,who eventually become the new generations of NBA basketball, on this issue.

Losing either one of the next two is absolutely unacceptable. Hell, winning by anything less than 10 would likely also be unacceptable.
