New Look Jazz Lose 2nd Straight but Not Without a Fight


Celtics 107 Jazz 102
     The Jazz are meshing together very fast after only three games together. The Jazz are playing well and look like they could still make a push to be right in the playoff mix. They started off hot with the Jazz taking a 10-2 lead in the start of their game against the Celtics. From there the Jazz went down by 13 but by halftime they had fought back to be down by only 3. The second half was where things got interesting. Jefferson had really put the team on his back since Deron was traded. Even before that, he has been having a great February. His will to win is something the Jazz really need every night. They need to bring that intensity every night, and not just the players, the fans also. We have a duty to support our team, when I hear cheers for the opposing team when it's a home game that just makes me angry. DON'T SELL YOUR TICKETS TO ANOTHER TEAMS FANBOY! Especially when the Fakers come to town. That was just my little rant for the day, back to the game.
The Jazz battled and proved that they can play with the big boys back east. But sadly, the Jazz couldn't pull it off. Even though Rondo is a horrible shooter, you can't leave an NBA player wide open with the game so close. They will find a way to get the ball into the hoop. That's why they are playing professional basketball because they are good at what they do.
How about Favors put back dunk? Now if that's not a delicious dunk I don't know what is. Harris is lightening quick but he really needs to be a consistent three point shooter.
These guys fit well into coach Ty's system and they seem to be happy to be here, especially Harris. I think that Harris is happy to finally be on a winning team. I can't wait to see how Harris and Favors will improve.
Although it was a game that the Jazz could have won they showed a whole lot of improvement. The game was intense and the fans were into it. All that is left is to get the W.

The Great:
-Al Jefferson and his intensity
-Devon Harris's lightening quick coast to coast lay-ups

The Good:
-Derek Favors delicious put back jam
-Coming back into the game before the fourth quarter

The Bad:
-Not guarding Rondo at all, this guy is a better shooter than he used to be.
-Some of the ref's calls were a bit biased but not as bad as when the Fakers are here.
