The Jazz will have there work cut out to hold off an already surging Nuggets team who have won 6 of their last 10 games and are only 3 games out of the northwest division lead.

What happened last night in New York City was not only pathetic but unacceptable. Championship caliber teams do not lose to the New York Knicks.

However the Jazz then started to fall apart, one Knick rebound at a time. I haven’t seen the Jazz dominated on the boards like they were last night in a long time. Renaldo Balkman, David Lee and Channing Frye accumulated 45 rebounds. In contrast the Jazz three top rebounders were Carlos Boozer, Andrei Kirlineko, and Mehmet Okur who combined for 30 rebounds.

The Jazz lost to the Knicks. I still can’t believe it. Aren’t the Jazz the best team in the league, record wise? Continue Reading This Entry »
