Okay finally I can comment, lol.

I keep seeing a lot of positives, even in these bad losses....and this is a bad loss. The Celtics loss was just AS bad. I wasn't THAT mad at the Minnesota loss, that's a good young team. But we ain't got mo business losing to the damn Jazz. :martin:

I like how we fought back tonight, showed some grit. I AM concerned, though, how scrub teams keep beating us with size inside. Not that that's a new problem, but it somehow seems more pronounced when the shooting is off. Also, we gotta stop playing from behind, the Jazz were up by 25 or something EARLY, we gotta defend more vigorously as a team earlier in games.

I WILL say, prior to this game, that we've had some good balanced scoring so far...against the Celtics 11 players scored and six had double-digit points. Our bench has been a plus so far, too (except, again, not tonight). Sefolosha is really stepping his offensive game up, as well. I need more from Splitter, though, especially on the damn boards. Muscala played well in his spots last week, especially against Boston. But he needs to stay consistent.

As for Bazemore....I dunno what others are seeing, but he's been great for us as a starter so far.

Bazemore is the scapegoat around here for some reason. We get beat up on the boards and its his fault smh. Plug sefolosha in full time because millsap and horf cant get the rebounds for us by themselves. Thabo should help

The lineup the jazz threw out near the end was frustrating to watch. Hood, hayward, burks, favors, gobert. Only way to combat that was to put a stretch 4(muscala) to exploit them on defense. But that lineup straight bullied us.

Yeah we're gonna have to :camby: the trade Teague talks for now.

Schro still a ways away from being anywhere near his caliber it seems.
