VERY depressing!

...how do you go from looking like world beaters...to losing to a short handed 5-23 team??? Did our players change over night? How do you commit 20 turnovers against this slop-dummy team? Did they all have the flu and a 104 fever? You can't tell me it doesn't have SOMETHING to do with all that tattoo ink! It's not the shoes....it's the INK!

No doubt the energy level from the starters was extremely low. But even the very good teams (which the Jazz are NOT) stumble. Care to guess what was the last team to beat the 21-6 OKC Thunder?

Just my opinion but, if we can beat OKC and get beat by NOH, it's coaching.

I know all teams go through this but this team seems to lack direction/control/identity/etc.

This. Ty the turd.

Edit- can I just throw in I dislike Jefferson and Harris randomly?

I thought this was the best loss of the season. The young guys almost came back for the win and they all played great minutes (except maybe Hayward).
This really is a crappy season. Lockout basketball is not fun to watch...

I thought you had to do that.

I didnt' see the game thank goodness...had better things to do.

Looking at the boxscore, I see Millsap and CJ with bad games.
I wonder if it is time to jetison those two. CJ has had 7 years to get his act together and he just gets worse.
Millsap, I love the guy, but he only plays good for the first one or two months, then he slumps badly.
Jeffy may not be the answer at center either.
I think we all know that Harris is not the answer at pg.

Basically, we are just not a good team. Problem is, we could be. The effort is just not there. But some players just never get it, no matter how much they talk about it. They just never get it.

After last night, I had hope for the season. After a loss like tonight, it's tough to believe in these guys.

I just don't understand how a team can play so well last night, and then come out and stink so badly.

You can whine about the coaching, but Ty doesn't play. He can only do so much. Players have to commit themselves.

We need players who are going to bring it consistently. Right now, we don't have that.

Curious, when exactly did we look like "world beaters"?

It's going to be hard to win a game when Millsleep has 4 points.

....they looked awfully good against the Grizzles the night before! 26 assists, only 13 turnovers, 50% plus shooting.

I'm a big coach Ty supporter, but this loss could have been averted if he'd got the sources of LOW ENERGY off the court quicker than he did. Rather than using the same rotation and minutes game after game, make it a mantra that there WILL be energy from whichever 5 are on the court. No excuses! And the need to learn to MOVE and slash when faced with a zone D...
