geez wut is wrong with this team...can we please have a decent offensive possession??
just stop .. put the 2nd unit back in ... I mean ... is that for real
why do we pass the ball to okafor so much
no ball movement
okafor is freaking soft! and why arent we running the pick and roll with d west?

Stop judging the kid with a microscope.
Dude. Deron is an All Star. He does that to a LOT of people. Marcus is still learning defense. Give him a break.Quote:

We will win this game
GOD ... OMG ... how did he do that
David West has absolutely no post vision... Can't see the double or triple teams...
First blowout, and it goes to show we aren't nearly the team we thought we were.
I knew this start was too good to be true. We have a lot of holes on this team right now. I hope Demps has a trade in the works or we will be hitting .500 in 2 weeks I can promise you that.
Not even close!Quote:

This team is not as bad as they are playing tonight, nor were they as good as we thought when there were 11-1. Unless we trade somehow for a banger and a stud 2/3, this team will be a 6 or 7 seed.
We have one guy who can consistently knock down a three point shot in Bellinelli. Paul can hit his, but he often passes them up. We need a knock down shooter.
Games not over yet
We are comparatively weak in the middle offensively and have no one who consistently commands attention slashing to the hole beyond CP. Teams have figured us out some and are dishing out some solid D against us as we had to others early on, and the pressure's telling. They take away the inside offensive game and pressure our jumpers which closes lanes to the basket and decreases our shooting percentage. Tonight the difference isn't Jack being unfamiliar with our system and losing by a couple of points, tonight we've been outplayed and are outmatched, plain and simple.

More of the same old, same old with the Jazz
Our next 12 games:
@ Portland
vs San Antonio
@ OKC
vs Charlotte
vs New York
@ San Antonio
vs Detroit
vs OKC
@ Philly
@ Miami
vs Sacramento
vs Utah
With the way we're playing, this can get scary fast. Something has to be done.
I hate to say it, but what we've seen as of late warrants the time for this:

We're still a good team, a playoff team, but we won't go far in the playoffs with this roster, we lack alot.
Careful, your pessimism is showing :rolleyes:Quote:

We got rocked tonight. Not that big of a deal....
Will there ever be a season when the Jazz does not own us? These announcers keep saying how the Jazz have not played well at home all season. So of course when the Hornets come to town they decide to fire on all cylinders.
Of which game do you speak? Surely not this....Quote:

Certainly not time to panic.
The only reason we lost tonight is because for the 2nd game in a row I didn't start watching until the 4th. It's all my fault guys.
Guys....I think its time to start Marcus. (Sarcasm off now)
The issues this team has is something we've talked about all offseason and they're finally starting to show. Like I said above, we're still a good team, but we won't contend for anything in the next few years. We still need to make changes.Quote:

we played bad, they played well. how much is what you'd expect on the 3rd game of a road trip against Utah, and how much is us being "figured out" and a sign of things to come?
I think we bounce back, but we've got work to do...
at least play with some heart....i dont mind if u lose but when u play with no passion, zero fire, and show a lack of care it is troubling...West played pathetic tonight...he barely made anything and didnt look like he even cared...guy was not assertive...i was hoping that Okafor would be good for us, but he is not the answer to the 5 spot...
If we could somehow swap Ariza + whatever else for Melo, this team would be set. We are one elite scorer away from being a top tier team. I agree with you to an extent, but there is absolutely no reason to push the panic button.Quote:

That's debatable, lets talk. What are your expectations for this team?Quote:

The jazz shot lights out tonight.. and west and okafor werent really helping out in the second half.. we would have a good run and then lose it the jazz's bench seemed like it tore us up and they were just clicking on all cylindars tonight. So what we have a 3 game lose streak.. its the NBA our upcoming games are gonna be tough but i think Monty will get the Hornets ready

Well if guys score the basketball other than Paul and West they'll be fine if not hit the panic button. They started out 9-0 cause these two guys got help, ever since the game at Dallas the supporting cast has disappeared.
we are one of the top teams right now and teams are going to bring their A game against us.....we have to realized this and match their intensity and bring our A game every night......
Losses vs the Jazz hurt more than anything. I said this a few weeks ago before we went on our streak so it isn't like I am preaching the sky is falling, or joining an angry mob. I think we will bounce back, but these games hurt more than others because unlike the Lakers and Celtics we can't seem to beat the Jazz and they are the team we will need to beat to open the door to advancing in the playoffs.
If we don't beat the Jazz, or we even go 1-3 we will not make the wcf's.
we should be a little worried but i know monty tryna make more roster moves(OKAFUR) so ima cool off to see what takes place this.BTW WASSUP WITH JOE ALEXANDER??? havent seen him at all this year.back to lurking i go
