Quick Thoughts on Utah Jazz Loss to Warriors
After a disappointing loss despite a miraculous effort, here are my quick thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s effort against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night.
I’m going to apologize in advance for my lack of cohesion and flow in this here piece. But after watching the Utah Jazz’s hard-fought 106-99 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night, my mind is flying in a million directions at once.
And for the sake of not leaving anything out, I’m going to go ahead and hit you with my thoughts from the game in “Twitter-like” style minus the whole 140 characters thing, because let’s face it, I can be long-winded.
As I put these thoughts down immediately following the game, I suppose you could consider this my post-game interview with nothing but raw emotion shining through after a tough loss. Hopefully I won’t get fined by the league. Without further ado, here’s my quick thoughts:

More from Purple and Blues
So there you have my quick thoughts on the Jazz loss. It was disappointing, to be sure, but I’ll take disappointing over embarrassing any day. Had Utah gotten off to a better start or done a few little things a tiny bit better, it might have been an entirely different game.
Nevertheless, Utah falls to 14-10 on the season and will look for revenge on December 20th at Oracle Arena, where hopefully they’ll have a couple more starters on hand to challenge the Warriors.
