Wednesday the Utah Jazz played against the L.A. Lakers, their arch nemesis. The game looked good, they held up well against the Lakers through the first quarter when the score was 24 each, and the second quarter the score ended the half Jazz up by 4 at 52 to 48. Third quarter took a slight down turn ending with a score of 71 to 73, Jazz down by two. Well for those who have followed the Jazz by now you know, if a basketball game was only three periods of 12 minutes the Jazz would have left with a loss but with respect, instead, as we know, the Jazz have perfected the 4th quarter flop. And once again, this game proved it. The game ended with the Jazz losing to the Lakers with a score of 101 to 77. That is a 24 point loss. What happened Jerry, did you let them go to sleep?
Again, for those of you who have followed the Jazz this has been a constant in their games. They work well for three quarters only to go to sleep during the fourth quarter. Even though the roster has changed several times over the last two decades it continues to happen. The only constant during this is Jerry Sloan. It is my opinion that it is time we call for Jerry to retire. I can not remember how many times I sat on my seat getting frustrated as I saw a Jazz lead get beat down during the fourth quarter, and this is part of the reason I don't follow the Jazz as well as I used to.
Jerry, after 22 years of the fourth quarter flop, I think it is time you retire.
