Phoenix Suns at Utah Jazz, Oct 9, 2008 7:00 PM MDT
@
Game two of the 2008-09 Utah Jazz pre-season bring the Suns of PHX to the ESA.
Looks like Boozer is out for the game and Koufos likely is as well. Maybe they could just tie their two bad hammies together like a three-legged race and we could forge one good hammy out of them?
AK will get the start in this game with Millsap coming off the bench this time. Quote a few stories going around about Kirilenko becoming the 6th man this season. And of course it makes sense. You wonder why it wasn't tried earlier. Harp isn't going to be any better this year, especially with his recent surgeries and complications. When he does come back, he should be just above Collins on the bench.
AK would probably thrive with the second unit as it gives the Jazz another passer to help out whoever the PG will be. AK and Millsap would provide a great defensive presence. Of course that would leave the starting bigs a bit more vulnerable. If they don't have AK back there to bail them out, their opponents could get some better looks at the basket. But part of this move would be stroking AK's ego and instilling some more confidence.
Once again, don't take too much from this game. A win is a win is a win, but we still don't have Boozer and the starters likely won't see many more minutes than the first game.
But you have to tune in to see Deron abuse Nash. And of course Shaq will be in the house.
And we'll show the rest of the league how to get behind your team in the pre-season, not like the pathetic LA crowd the other night. The Jazz are going to be turning out the lights for home games this year, but it's not clear if they'll do it for the pre-season. And let's hope the Suns fade to black at the end of the game. Unfortunately, the game won't be in HD, nor will any of the pre-season games be shown. I tell you, once you go HD, watching standard def makes you angry. The game will face competition from the MLB playoffs and from Real Salt Lake's first game at their new stadium. But I'll be here rocking.

So,
I’m sorry that I missed the game on Tuesday. But, I’m glad that our boys won. I JUST flew in from Phoenix from a dental school interview. Unfortunately I had no sightings of any Jazz players. Dang

What about
Suns players?
The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.
The best NBA team in Utah... no doubts about it!
Playing For Pride. Pirates, Utes, Panthers, and more...
Because, in the end, only one team can "win it all".

where's Boler tonight?
Apparently in Boler’s absence the Jazz have failed to bring the thunder and lightning. Now they are interviewing Matty. I wonder if they’ll ask him about his great football experience??

Just saying… it’d be nice for him to play some D.

AK's case
Ak is making a case for playing the 4. He’s very active on the boards and on D. hmmmm…
I can’t hang out long here. I’m clicking between this game and the Dodgers. (This proves my love of Basketball I think – I’m pained to miss moments of a preseason game because of the NLCS!)
Leave the ball, will you George?

My team was eliminated early
The NBA eases my pain.

While I wrote,
Derek Lowe gave up 3 runs in the 6th. Let the opiate of pre-season NBA assuage my soul…crap – it’s halftime. I think I’ll go clean the kitchen or something until Deron comes back.

Who is?
The dumb white wannabe homeboy that looks like he could be from Provo?? He needs to go ASAP.

Gerry McNamara?
He was phenomenal in college… Of course, so was Pete Chilcut.
Leave the ball, will you George?

The difference (as far as I know)...
McNamara killed BYU in a March Madness game a couple years back.

No, the McNamara kid.
We have Deron and Knight and Price. That’s enough.
Did we sign him or something?? If we did, he’ll be playing down here in Orem for the year.

Too bad
Oden would be fun to watch.

Whatever.
And, it was a Sunday game too. It’s not like we have anything else to do on Sunday in Utah.

That was a dumb foul on Millsap
That’s why he picks up so many. He just ran at he guy.

OK.
Are you guys frustrated at this game too? There are some things that should be common sense:
1- KK, please don’t pass to Flop. He can’t shoot a jumper or bank a layup.
2- KK, please hold onto the ball on the fast break.
3- Jerry, please take Flop out.
Thanks.
by DaniellelovesKK on Oct 9, 2008 9:10 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
KK
stop shooting.
I know that’s what he does… but it’s obviously not working for him.
Why not give Almond a shot?
Why is Knight in?
You need points… put Price in.

Oh, and our D...
what the hell? (sorry if you don’t want me saying that).
Play like this and we’re screwed.
No interior D.
No perimeter D.

If I may go back to being a pessimist
we better win at home. Because other teams will win at theirs.
