They saw that Amare was out and then Crymello early in the game and thought they could coast themselves to a victory. You can't take nights off ever. Totally embarrassing loss considering the circumstances.
Yeah, they only had 17 turnovers. That's not turning the ball over
What? It happened with stock and malone all the time. All teams come out flat on the road.

The Jazz deserved to get laughed at. My dad was laughing at them hysterically, he's only watched the Jazz during the Stockton-Malone era (doesn't even know who D-will is). I felt embarrassed rooting for the Jazz and shut off my tv in disgust. The entire Knicks bench looked like all-stars. I'm not going to watch 5 games in a row and see how much happier I feel.

#1 We had 13 AT THE HALF, which fueled their offense. You can't dig yourself a 15 point deficit on the road. They ended up with 17 turnovers. But that was mostly due to one horrible quarter. The other 3 quarters they had very limited turnovers.
We ended up with 20 turnovers and 43 % shooting. You aren't going to beat anyone playing like that.
#2 Define "all the time" please. Stockton and Malone could drop a game on the road. Sure. No one is perfect. But they generally did not underachieve on the road. This Jazz team does. The jazz of this decade has been notorious for being able to beat anyone at home (like the Lakers) and losing to anyone on the road (tpuppies, New York (remember Steph Marbury and Nate Robinson tearing us new ones?), and Golden St).
Numbers don't lie folks. You keep calling Jefferson the black hole, but he had 3 assists tonight.
Millsap had one.
I could list the rest of the stats, but you can look them up.
I would buy some of your crap if you were consistent, but you aren't. No matter what Jefferson and Millsap do, you all love Paul, and hate Al.

what an embarrassment. most frustrating loss i have seen in a long time. the team was absolutely lifeless. bench was horrid. It might be hard to find a bigger collection of scrubs than what the Jazz were going up against today and they still lost. I absolutely hate it when end of bench players like jeremy rin light up the Jazz.
Just a crappy showing overall by most everyone besides Bell and Hayward.
Al was good on offense, but terrible defensively and rebounding.
Sap was terrible offensively and had trouble keeping up when matched against perimeter shooters. He did rebound well though and made an effort late, just wasn't getting baskets to fall.
Bench overall was terrible as a unit. Thought Kanter did a good job at discouraging lobs to Chandler, and Favors and Miles had a couple of good moves each, but that is about all the bench did well. Terrible defense and terrible offense. Was super disappointed they couldn't build off the momentum the starters generated at the end of the 3rd.
Also, still waiting on Hayward to get clicking from deep. It has to happen one of these days, and when it does that's when I think Hayward's game will really open up.

Absolutely.
Starters sucked, but cut it to 2 going into the 4th.
Bench blew this game.

After the 3rd and down by 2 I thought for sure we were going to show some more passion and take this game. I certainly was mistaken. It's going to be an ugly night tomorrow as well if we don't put things together on the road. Indianna is definitely no slouch of a team.
Hey, you said the Knicks didn't turn it over. I pointed out that they did.
I watched the Jazz from the year Malone was drafted. Go back and look at their road record until about 96. They rarely had a winning record on the road. I can still remember a lot of stinkers. I remember once, when I was in college, watching the jazz play a pathetic Clippers team, and needing a win to stay in contention for a top seed. Late in the season. They sucked so bad and lost so pathetically with no effort. I was so mad and screaming, that a girl who came over to visit ran out of the apt in terror claiming that I was a nutcase.
Also, I thought 2 of Jeffries' charges were bogus calls. One at the start against Harris and one against Hayward.
