    We have a huge hole at SF.

    Batum is invisible when he's on the floor. He has definitely hit that wall... face first.

    Travis - you either have a good basketball IQ or you don't. Unfortunately, he doesn't.

    Sigh, just one of those games so far. The refs wearing very tinted Jazz glasses, and if Okur played this way every game he'd be the MVP.

    Hopefully he cools down and the refs decide to call this game down the middle in the second half.

    Seriously, Greg looks like a lesser DeSagana Diop right now.

    I'm basing this off the energy they've shown me so far. If they bring it up in the second half, and we go on to win, then great. Still doesn't change the fact that we aren't elite.

    You threw in the towel, deciding that the first half dictates the second half, that 11 pts is too much of a hole to dig out of.

    Diop is better at this point.

    I've noticed Roy not passing to Rudy in previous games.

    Too much selfish play all around tonight.

    I would sure hope Brandon's outscoring Brewer or else we'd probably be down 20, 30.

    My post exactly. I am so pissed at Roy for not passing the ball to the wide open and in rhythm Rudy for the three. GRRR!! And it's not the first time Roy has ignored wide open teammates. It's really a selfish habit.

    Every time I see that LeBron commercial, I kinda wish they'd secretly slip in that ending scene of Tony Montana at his desk at his mansion.

    They should have tried to get the ball to LMA when he got back in the second quarter. He was hot and didn't take another shot after he came back in.

    Oden was in the ESPN the magazine commercial

    Memo and Millsap have been playing great together w/o Boozer, I tried telling someone earlier that Utah has been decent w/o Boozer.

    But do you guys really think Bayless would actually help all around? I think he'd lose his man trying to cover Sloan's offense, but so is everyone else for Portland. Has Bayless done good when he's played this year?

    I really hate to say it but I have seen on more then a couple occasions Roy not passing the ball to Rudy when he was wide open.

    I can't wait to get Sergio and Rudy and Martell on the court at the same time. They looked good together before Martell went down.
