    This is worse than the OKC game, because at least OKC is a good team. Utah is a horrible team.

    It has to be draining to try your hardest over and over and lose close games again and again. Maybe the team is just dejected.

    They should be booed. This is the most pathetic I have seen them this season.

    Interesting that some here wanted to see Ant shoot less and other shoot more, yet Utah's strategy seems to imply they feel that is in their best interest.

    I'm having a hard time determining the difference between bad effort and execution. Whatever it is, it's bad.

    Two extremely athletically explosive plays from Scoot tonight!

    Scoot is averaging 15 FGA per 36. Why does he take so many shots when he's not good at it?

    Maybe he should watch some film if John Stockton....play a bit more like John till he settles down. He only averaged 10 per 36 and was very efficient.

    That’s my point. They have lost how many in a row where they DID try their hardest and lost close games?

    Until he can prove to be a threat to score, he'll never have the passing windows Stockton has.

    If there is a season for Scoot to take "too many" shots, it's this season.
