    Trolling? But yes, we did miss Lin and Parsons tonight. Both of them could've helped on defense. Harden cant stop Hayward, and Brooks is just too small.

    Pretty much. Harden was scoring pretty much everytime he got the ball...instead they just wasted possession after possession doing god knows what.

    We lost because the Jazz had their best shooting night of the year, and we had one of our worst. That simple. The Jazz won't shoot this well in any game the rest of the season.

    The only thing worse than this loss is reading the commentary in this thread.

    Apparently James Harden scored 4 points on 5-67 shooting and gave up every single point on defense. All because he is lazy.

    (note, in reality this is not what happened)

    Meanwhile the worst player down the stretch was clearly Brooks - he dribbled around on defense wasting clock (why did he even have the ball? Harden was in the lane at will...?), somehow ran isos for himself where he got under the hoop, and per usual didn't convert, and actually did what Harden is accused of doing, by giving up multiple dribble penetrations for layups/fouls/easy dishes.

    Howard is the one that should be benched.

    Dwight has no post moves

    Harden - 37 pts (60%FG), 8 assists - really, that`s who you call out? I have seen Burke, Burks, Hayward and Favors all with great offensive games - blame that all on Harden?

    Yeah, the Jazz deserve this win - because they made all their tough shots. When a team is on like this, it is hard to win. And when you don`t bring 100% you lose. TJones and Howard didn`t bring it, Brooks played horrible defense, Asik didn`t do much, so did Beverly.

    If anything Harden was a brightspot today.

    You fans i swear... "Fire McHale.. Brooks is horrible.. Howards not a superstar.." blah blah blah...

    It happens. It's the NBA. We don't have Lin, or Parsons. CHILL.

    Armchair fans make me sick.

    This is why we need mid range game. When our 3s don't fall, we suck
