If you missed yesterday's debacle in Miami consider yourself lucky. The Jazz had the game in the bag: A 7 point lead with a minute to go. They didn't score again and allowed the Heat to send the game into overtime. In the overtime it looked like they once again had things wrapped up: They scored the first 8 points of the period and led by 8 with 1:50 to go. They didn't score again in the overtime and allowed a second overtime after an 8-0 run to end it. Then they had to come from behind to force a third OT, where they simply ran out of gas and lost by 11. It was a disgrace. A week ago they were the darlings of the NBA with a 12 game winning streak. People were talking about them in the same breath as the Lakers. After yesterday they are a punchline. We'll see how they respond today in Orlando.
All the Jazz had to do was run some clock in the 4th quarter. Instead, Kirilenko and Millsap decided to be flashy and run it. They should apologize to their team mates, then Slaon should take them out back and have them summarily shot.
