    You're forgetting the worst Jazz of them all: Matt Harpring.

    I know there are many here that likes to think the sky is falling because Houston spots brings that out of us. But we are in a transition period again with Capela trying to find his way back into the rotation, Gordon hurt a bit and Anderson with the flu right now. As a full healthy squad we were beating teams but sometimes by a small margin. Against the Heat (in Miami) we lost by 6 points. With Anderson in that game we could have easily had an extra 2-4 3s go in and won by 6 points.

    Our team is really competitive against anybody right now as a full unit. Even with Capela out Harrell took up a lot of that slack and we didn't miss much of a beat. In about a week or so from now (baring any further injuries) we may even be better than we were during that 10 game win streak earlier.

    By seasons end (if we play the season right, rotate players effectively, and avoid serious injury to core players), we will be exactly where we want to be. With the #3 seed competing against the Spurs in the 2nd round and trying to make our way back to playing GS in the Conf Finals.

    Beating GS on Friday will mean more than the loss to the Heat.

    Heat just beat the Warriors. Makes our loss to them seem less crazy!

    Well the fact that many people on here thought that was the defining loss of the season and we should be ASHAMED and EMBARRASSED, makes the Warriors loss to them feel that much better.

    Well, someone needs to sleep on this loss right now. I'll leave you to that as none of this was directed at you!
