    I don’t know who needs to read this but to the fans that’s freaking out and thinking this loss makes us frauds, relax. Yes this was a bad loss considering how yesterday played out, but bad losses happen and you just move on and learn from it. If it make anyone feel better the Nuggets lost to the Mavs who have just as many wins as Utah, so we’re not alone in losing to a lottery team tonight and losing this game doesn’t make us any less of a contender than Denver or the other top teams in the conference. Even OKC’s lone lost was to the Blazers who are under .500, so remember even these lottery squads are pro’s and have pride and tonight was a showcase of that by Utah. Also the Suns just blew out the Lakers tonight so cheer up people it’s not as bad as you think

    Denver and OKC have championships.

    Rockets have an aging KD and one round of playoff experience.

    It’s like clockwork — every loss and you’re in here throwing a tantrum and making embarrassing threads.

    How old are you? You don’t have the emotional maturity for an 82-game season.

    And they have a top 3 pick in another decently stacked draft class

    God forbid, you did state a little truth.

    We all want to strive to become over the top eternal optimists.

    Understandable, I’ve definitely had my issues with Ime’s stubbornness and lack of adjusting during games. Nonetheless this is more about me saying any team can be beaten by lesser squads even the champs.

    True that, which is why I wouldn’t say we’re better than those teams but at the same time I wouldn’t say we’re frauds and no longer one of the top contenders in the West (just yet), because of this loss. As I’ve said bad losses can happen to any team it’s about how you respond.

    Im not freaking out. The Jazz played harder than we did; they wanted it more. My big concern remains the lack of an offensive system.

    I also didn’t like seeing Bari all but disappear when we needed him to step up. KD continues to look like he’s working way too hard for his shots, and Reed was so relentlessly hunted defensively he couldn’t stay on the floor. I continue to believe Capela is washed. Adams is such a critical part of our team, we are not as good when he doesn’t play. But as I said, Utah just wanted it more. the team that wants it more usually wins.

    Amen was a bright spot. I like seeing him play to his strengths: down hill and above the rim.

    It's really hard to beat an NBA team on back to back nights.
