Jazz vs Heat | Wednesday December 8th @ 7:00pm (The Rematch)

Where was Jefferson in the 4th quarter? Did he even score or get a rebound in the 4th? It really seems like he disappeared after a strong showing in the first 3 quarters.
 
We didn't deserve to win tonight.

We didn't set any kind of tone. Which is sad. Against Dallas, against Memphis, and against Miami the only message we've set to teams is that we're soft and don't care about defending our home court. Someone should have knocked someone on their ***. Or Jerry should have gotten himself ejected to try and pump up the team. Instead, we put on tuxedos and let the Heat do whatever they wanted.

Scary stats, the Heat outrebounded us 42-28. They also had more assists. And we shot 1-14 from the 3 point line.

We desperately need another wing that can take the burden of driving and scoring off Deron's shoulders.

We clearly didn't deserve to win tonight... In fact, Im not sure if we even deserved to win against Memphis. This team is in a "meh" phase. They look like they're bored out there half the time. Hopefully it has something to do with intensity and not to do with the defects of our team on the part of wing play (or lack thereof).

If AK wasn't turning the ball over, Deron was. If we weren't turning the ball over, we were missing FTs.

I didn't watch the 2nd or 3rd. I have no clue how Al scored as many as he did. He hardly ever pass him the ball. We prefer to have CJ or AK chuck up crap it seems.

Ya I wasn't happy that Watson and the bench wasn't given at least a chance for a few minutes. Again reminded me of the mavs game.
 
On the bright side, at least Denver lost to Boston. And maybe the Clippers can beat the Lakers. It's a 3 point game right now. The thunder already took out minny tonight. :(

I have no clue why (other than their rookie titles) Hayward and Evans aren't getting ANY burn. I agree, they shouldn't be getting 40 minutes per game. But right now is the time to experiment with lineups. Right now is the time to see what Hayward and Evans can do. Right now is the time to play these guys so Millsap, Al, and AK don't have to play so many minutes.

I truly think that Evans could make a difference right now. The last 3 games we've lacked energy and emotion. A big dunk from him could ignite the second unit and give the crowd energy.
 
Unfortunate that we came up against a red hot and very focused team tonight. Let's also remember they have two of the top few players in the league and they basically did whatever they wanted with us tonight.

What the game highlights for me is that if just 1 or 2 of our second tier guys are having an off-night, we will struggle to beat the elite teams. While we might seem deep and skilled against a team like the Clippers, we just don't have the cattle to compete with some of the really stacked teams around the league.
 
So how many losses AT HOME against good teams is this now? Just pathetic. Once we start losing more on the road, which will happen, things will get ugly fast.
