Train wreck here if you can stomach it.

Why!?

Why do the Jazz do this every year? They lose to teams like OKC, Knicks, T-Wolves, and any other armpit team. It gets frustrating as a fan, ‘cause those should be gimmes. I don’t know if the Jazz just think they are gimmes and don’t get motivated or what.

And the other thing that gets frustrating is if the Jazz would have won a game over the Knicks, T-Wolves, and Heat last year they would have been competing for the #1 or #2 seed. And with the West as tight as it is this year again, every win helps for seeding and home court.

It’s easy to use injuries as excuses, but it’s obvious we can win with the injuries so I don’t want to use that as an excuse.

Games like last night make being a Jazz fan become bipolar.

The Jazz are like the "Perfect" Girlfriend

Last night was like the 5th date with a girl who put out, was incredibly funny, loved sports and was absolutely gorgeous. On the 5th date you decide to take her out to breakfast after she got her wisdom teeth out. When you get to her house and see her without makeup on, in her pajamas, you feel betrayed and lied to. You feel like the last four dates were some kind of scam. You tell her you don’t feel good all of a sudden and need to take a rain check on breakfast. You feel a little bit bad because she just got her wisdom teeth out ,but that is no excuse for not looking as hot as she did the previous four dates.

You continue to date her because when she gets primped out she looks amazing. And really, she is the only girl in your town so you have to date her and marry her. You will get used to the fact that there will be mornings when you have that holy #$%& this is my wife thought, but you will love her and cherish her.

On April 15th 2009 I will be sitting in line at the post office waiting to mail in my tax returns, contemplating how the in the heck we just lost 6 of 8 games dropping us to the eighth seed, one game behind Portland or Phoenix . I will then have a flashback to last night when I literally cut my own wrists as I watched the Jazz get outscored, out-hustled, out-hearted, and most of all outrebounded.

The next day I will buy tickets to games 3 and 4 of the first round series with the Lakers and watch us lose 4-1 in the series and then over the next six months believe that we will do better on the road in 2010.

So in other words yes it was the worst loss of the season.
