Utah Jazz at Philadelphia 76ers, Nov 11, 2008 5:00 PM MST
If you're a drama TV series kind of person, then this is the game for you. We have all kinds of subplots for this one. Let's go over them,
- Deron's going to play
- Memo is out attending to his father in Turkey
- Fess is trying to avoid getting kicked out of the country
- Collins is still gimpy
- Harp is still recovering from some football injuries
- Kyle Korver returns for the first time to the city of Brotherly Love
Deron doesn't figure to play much. But his return may be more out of a neccessity to not burn everyone else out. If he was out, we would have been left with just 10 players. That's no less than the regular rotation anyway, but another freak injury in this game would have put the hurt on the Jazz.
So we'll have the starting lineup of Price, Brewer, Miles, Boozer, and your starting center for the Utah Jazz, Koooooooostaaaa Koooouuufooooos!
As predicted, Sloan prefers to change the rotation as little as possible when players are out. We're not going to see KK2 in crunch minutes. The Jazz will likely close with Knight, Brewer, KK, Boozer and Millsap.
Should make for an interesting game. Elton Brand always seems to kill us. Maybe throwing Boozer and Millsap at him will slow him down a bit.
Philly hasn't gotten out to the start they wanted. They're only 2-4 right now. Don't worry though, that will get you a 7 seed in the East.
And is it possible to be as excited as you are frightened to see Deron play? It seems like ages since we've seen him in action. If we didn't see him with Boler and Booner all the time on TV, I almost would have forgotten he played for us. Really, does it feel like Harp and Collings are on the team anymore?
Expect AK to be the X factor tonight, even more so with everyone out.
Let's hope we can get everyone back together soon.

I am concerned
that, because of our decimated team, Deron is hurrying back from his injury. I really don’t care about these early season games, especially on the road. I’d much rather have a November road loss to Philly without him, if it means we can let him heal completely so he’ll be at full strength the rest of the year.
That said, I cannot wait to see him.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
HELLO!!!
Is anyone watching the game?? I just called Comcast and apparently FSN decided they didn’t want to air the game!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, they’re trying to see if they can switch it on, or if not, the game will be on after whatever football thing they’re airing right now.

Nevermind.
All is well now.
And, Deron for 3.

it's on now
and Deron just nailed a three. Beautiful. Welcome back, brother.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
So,
I take it Fes isn’t in the country??

How much,
Do you love to see Deron and Boozer play together?
It makes me feel a lot better about everything.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 11, 2008 5:27 PM MST reply actions
one thing I hate
about watching on League Pass broadband, EVERY commercial is an NBA commercial, there’s a rotation of about 5 different ones
This kinda feels
Like the first REAL game of the season.

there's nowhere
else for me to go to talk about the game! I need Jazz support
Um,
It was the beginning of the 2nd. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay
what the crap has happened to Andrei? it’s like it’s 2004 all over again. Whatever they’re doing to him, it’s working.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Bench is holding serve

Philly announcer
just said he dug up an old Jazz scouting report from ’91 and it was EXACTLY the same
that's an asinine thing to say
I know Jerry has been around forever, and that we still run the pick-and-roll, and D-Will to Booz is similar to Stockton to Malone… but really, this team has more offensive talent and is more explosive than at any time in the franchise’s history. This stereotype still bugs me.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
I'm not really loving KK right now.
He is trying a bit too hard his first time back in Philly.

Paulie
nice shot. love that he isn’t afraid to take and hit that baseline jumper.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
halftime notes
19 assists for the Jazz, 6 for the Sixers
Only 5 free throw attempts
Shooting 48% to the Sixers’ 37%
24 bench points, Sixers have 8
NO 2ND HALF LETDOWN PLEASE!
Live feed?
Anyone know where I can find a live feed to this game? My projector’s bulb just blew… :(
probably best not to
but if someone leaves their email, you can send it to them that way.

uh, WTF?
I go to take my dinner break, come back, and we’re losing by two?
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Quite the line for brewer
0-8, 8 assists.

That was on my short list, along with
-who starts at C?
-why do we suck on the road?
-who starts at PG if Deron is out?
-what is the meaning of life?
Hmmm
We have a double-double sign, but no triple-double sign

I have a sad acceptance to make...
between my 4 fantasy teams, I have every starter on the Sixers team.
The Jazz players
were normally gone before my pick, or I was picking too early. I do have Booze one 1 team and Brewer on 2.
And CJ is in no way worth drafting.
unless you're Danielle
I think she has 6 in the SLC Dunk league.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Man of the hour
looking like Sap did against the Clips
Here's to hoping...
that the Spurs and Lakes both lose tonight. Spurs down 3 and Lakes down 6 right now
Philly fans, booing
good to see that fund of goodwill from the Phillies’ championship lasted a long time.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
REST ASSURED
Flop was dressed on the bench ‘just in case’. That eased a lot of my fears.

TASTY
again, I love the Jazz. Nothing else to say really
FYI
That game was probably really good for my team in FBB (Fantasy Bball) lets start typing that cause it’s so much easier
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 11, 2008 7:27 PM MST reply actions
Ok.
Thanks. I’m still learning these thigns.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 11, 2008 7:28 PM MST up reply actions
Six and one
Deron’s back, Ronnie B is rolling, AK is a force off the bench, Collins and Harpring aren’t playing, as soon as Memo’s back, can life get better?
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
No
But, I was just thinking that’s it’s kind of nice that it’s only 7:30 and the games over.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 11, 2008 7:29 PM MST up reply actions
Of course, I may be mistaken
but I assumed that since it was freezing at 6:30 AM, it would be freezing now.
Shums-
Something is wrong with Yahoo. It want’s me to buy a stat tracker thing? Is this normal?
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 11, 2008 7:34 PM MST reply actions
sigh....
yes… they make you shell out extra if you want to use that. Otherwise you just have to check at the end of the night when all the scores are official. Yahoo doesn’t have free live scoring.
