The Downbeat #1798 - No Optimism

Related Topics: Optimism, Jazz, Down Beat, The Players, Tenure

If you're looking for a dose of optimism, you won't find it here. Last night's meltdown to the terrible Pelicans, was inexcusable. The Jazz dropped a 7 point lead and gave up midway through the 4th quarter. Lazy defense. No energy. No effort.

The crowd was abysmal, but the players gave them little to cheer for, as they let the Pelicans hang around way too long. The 3rd quarter saw the Jazz put the Pelicans on the ropes, and they did what they have done so many times this season... they quit doing the things that got them the momentum.
