The Utah Jazz have struggled nearly all season long and Raja Bell has become vocally frustrated.

"It's been a long season," Bell said. "We've lost a lot of games. And, in my opinion, we're starting to do more things wrong now than we were doing early in the season.

"We refuse to do things that we need to do, (such as) executing offensively. We've got guys that catch the d--- ball and just go. Just go. Everybody else is running the play, and somebody has the ball and they're going . . . 'What do you do?' You walk back on defense. Then, on defense we've got dudes that will just watch. Somebody's going down the lane, and they're watching. There he goes ? he's laying the ball in the cup . . . What do you do? You go back on offense, then somebody gets the ball.
     
"You're caught in a vicious cycle," Bell added. "It's ridiculous. The only thing you can try to salvage out of this season, for people who are looking to come back and people who are going to return on this team as leaders, is to do the right thing and try to lead by example and teach the young guys what's right about being on a basketball court and what's not right," Bell said. "And we don't do that. I mean, some nights we come out and do it ? and other nights, I don't know. It's frustrating.
     
"You have to have that inside of you, to want to win every night and to want to compete," he added. "So we don't make the playoffs? But we can beat teams just to say we can beat them."
