Deron played like an MVP during the first quarter of the season. But it seems like he has given up over these last 10 games. I am actually excited to see him go to the bench early with 2 fouls because he isn't fun to watch anymore.

Well said. I know D-Will cab be an usually is a great player. Maybe our starting 4 are mediocre, But I have stopped enjoying watching Deron play. I would rather watch Watson play and lose than see Deron play with his bad attitude. I feel like he has decided this team can't win a championship...

Deron seems to be playing waiting to get frustrated. I was happy to see him go to the bench in the first with 2 quick fouls. We stayed in the first with Watson on the floor. Deron seems worn out, sick?, frustrated. He did come back and have a mediocre 2nd half. Raja was awful and price...

If Memo can get back to playing well I am actually for benching Jefferson. He doesn't pass well. He is only so so at the pick and roll. He has limited range and he is not that big for a center. We have millsap to be the Boozer type scorer and rebounder and run the pick and roll with D-will...

This game was lost in the first quarter like a lot of our games lately. It seems like D-will got frustrated with players not being where he thought they should be. I think he had 3 turnovers in the first quarter off passes where he anticipated a player doing something and they didn't. I...

Good win for the jazz to bounce back against a team which is playing better than their record shows. I loved the offensives rebounds and tip ins. That was the difference. I think a big part of that was playing Frank with another big man. I love seeing two 6'11 plus players in for the jazz to...

I think there are two big differences between the success of Evans vs the failure of Hayward. First Evans is very athletic. Second is roles. The second unit has a defined play they run for Evans which leverages on his athleticism and is successful. For Hayward he was used to being the man...

Yeah seems like he is really becoming the x factor for us.

Deron and CJ owned the fourth after our bench got us rolling. Good thing we had Fes tonight he gave us some good bang. If have seen Junior Jazz boys with a better game face than Hayward. Dude needs to play with some confidence. Good win but I can't help but wonder why we didn't put this game...

This should be an easy win. Unfortunately since we are at home we will get blown out in the first quarter and hopefully pull away at the end of the third when our starters are on the bench. Wait without fesenko and elson we may actually lose this game. Life sucks when 3 centers are out. Hope...

After losing to LA in the playoffs so many times I think we are scared of LA. When the reporter asked D-will about LA after the NO game he seemed nervous before making his joke about not eating too much turkey. I think a win against LA even at home will give D-will and the Jazz more confidence...

One of the biggest improvements I saw in AJ is he was actually ready to catch a pass when someone was driving with the ball. I think he had three nice lay ups on plays like that against NO. In previous games he is usually looking at the rim and ends up dropping the pass. It can only get...

Yeah CJ rocked tonight. We have gotten lucky a lot on the road. I still don't feel like the jazz have found a consistent way to win. Until we can box out and find a starting unit that will win first quarters we are mediocre. All these come from behind wins are taking their toll on D will and...
