Holy schamoley... I don't care who you are, you can't win if the other team shoots 45 free throws. That's almost half the points the Kings had tonight.

See, Triple D, I do show up after Jazz losses, if only to complain about the refs.

To be fair, most of the calls were fine... the Jazz weren't moving their feet on defense and the Kings kept taking it at them.

I missed this game. I was busy listening to an epic Laker beatdown on the T-Wolves on my drive home. The T-Wolves have no chance when the purple and gold are in the house.

The Lakers are back, baby! Time to reserve that parade spot on Figueroa!

I went to the Miami game on Monday. It appears that the new Jazz = Phoenix Suns wannabes. No defense. I never thought I would see a Sloan team play this way.

It is a good thing for the Jazz that the NBA playoffs have a 15 day layoff between each game, because the Jazz absolutley blow in back to back games.

Doesn't matter how hard you try to play defense, any team with Boozer and Okur as the big men will always be average to poor defensively. Defense becomes extremely difficult when you can't protect the rim.

Which doesn't bode well for this weekend as they have a back to back roadie at San Antonio and Dallas.

They'll likely be coming out of Texas on a 3 game losing streak.

Exactly, the defense of Okur and Boozer have changed this team. The team is now an offense first team. This is why the Jazz made a huge mistake not trying to trade up to get Sean Williams. I'd trade Okur straight up for Sean Williams right now.

Gee, what a shock...a Jazz fan whining about the refs after a Jazz loss.
