PrintUtah Jazz at Washington Wizards, Nov 12, 2008 6:00 PM MST
We get our first look at Dee Brown in a couple years. After his stint in Turkey, he was able to come back to the NBA and sign with the Wiz. I don't know if we'll see too much of him outside of some fist-bumping handshakes with Deron, CJ, and the rest of the team. He's not playing too much. As much as I hated seeing Dee go, we ended up with the two good backup PGs we have now. Had Dee re-signed, I'm guessing the Jazz would have gone with Hart over Price given that Hart was signed for more and his "veteran" presence. Hart sucked, but I don't think he cost the Jazz any games last year (that I can recall). I would rather have the Price/Knight combo that we have now instead of Hart/Brown. Dee has a lot of heart (no pun intended), but I think we have the better end of the deal. I'm glad to see Dee back in the NBA. I don't think it happens for a lot of players that follow his route. Dee's official website is still http://deebrown11.com despite now wearing #17 (deebrown17 is being squatted).
The Wiz are 0-5 right now. There's no reason the Jazz should lose to this team. Washington has been outplayed in almost ever facet of the game. Their closest loss was a 6 point defeat at the hands of the Knicks. Their offense and defensive rating are near the bottom,
Offensive Rating: 101.3 (25th of 30) ▪ Defensive Rating: 113.2 (28th of 30)
So the Jazz should be able to run up the score on these guys. And right now, Utah has the third-best defensive rating.
The trick will be to not letting Washington hang around. We've lost a couple of heartbreakers there (thankfully Arenas isn't playing).
I would assume Deron will play but with fewer minutes. I hope the game is out of reach in the fourth so there's no reason/temptation to play him.
Boozer/Millsap/AK should own the inside again. And let's hope Brewer remembered to pack his fourth-quarter shot with him.

Dee
Dee will always have my support. In terms of sportsmanship, character, personality, etc., I can’t imagine a better guy to have on a team. Too bad he can’t shoot.
Pants Off, Game On!
I love Dee
but every time I think back to his days in Utah I remember when Memo landed right over the back of his head and neck in the Derek Fisher return game in the playoffs of ’07. That was brutal.
i remember how even the jazz wouldn't sign him
he fulfilled all of his jazz commitments and appearances that summer. that says a lot about the kind of person he is.
And did
Price get the start?
Yahoo! has him in the starting line-up, but shows him with 0:00 played.
sweet
I get to watch a game and not worry about work afterwards!
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
speaking of D-Will
he’s still visibly slower on the defensive end. He’s not 100%.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
KK 2.0
not shy with the shooting, not skilled with the making. Nil-for-two so far for our Greek friend.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
we do miss Memo
Javale McGee is ruling the offensive glass for the Wizards. No way that skinny stick gets those boards if Memo’s around to throw his weight. Geez, and a dunk from McGee on a nice cut. He’s dominating.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
ROOOOOOOONNIEEEEEEE BREWERRRRRR
35-foot shot at the buzzer: all net.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
weakest offensive foul call ever.
Millsap tries to create the tiniest bit of space with an elbow. so lame.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Kyle
not so much with the outside shot lately. His wrist must really be bothering him.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
how Paul Millsap
gets such ideal inside position for rebounds perpetually baffles me.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
I know J-Slo loves Harp
but seriously… play CJ right now. His shot is falling… ride the hot hand.
It worked fairly well last time we played the Wizards.
Sorry I'm late.
But, I would just like to note that No Knees had 2 fouls before he scored.

what's up with your boy's shooting touch, D?
you’re not keeping him out late or anything, are you?
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
We're in by midnight everynight.
We’ve got better things to do… HAHA.

Sorry.
That was a little dirty. Hehe.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 7:00 PM MST up reply actions
ouch
the whole team looks ugly.
And will somebody PLEASE get a rebound? And stop letting Andray Blatche travel EVERY DAMN TIME?
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Thank goodness.
Because apparently KK is struggling in a lot of areas.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 7:01 PM MST up reply actions
What?
Ok, I didn’t mean anything dirty by that. He can’t shoot. He cant’ rebound, He can’t play defense. I was talking about his game. DUH.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 7:04 PM MST up reply actions
CJ was on first in the first quarter
plays 12 seconds in the 2nd. WTF J-Slo? Harpring is not that good.
Is it bad
That I’m cheering for Antawn Jamison because he is on my fantasy team?
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 7:04 PM MST reply actions
has anyone noticed
how badly the Lakers are wiping the floor with the Hornets? 50-31 at halftime. Yowza.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
HAHA.
Or the fact that Orlando is up 71 to 42 over the Thunder.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 7:20 PM MST up reply actions
Barely a minute in
And we already have sent them to the FT line 2x. Good job, boys.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 7:22 PM MST reply actions
Booze
just got punked by Etan Thomas. Seriously, we are looking awful.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
and with the next foul
we put the Wiz in the penalty. In case you’re wondering: over 9 minutes left in the quarter. Free throws the rest of the way for the Wiz.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
I was watching the game on my DVR, trying to catch up.
Based on these comments though, I’m just going to fast forward.

WTF is Washington’s mascot. It just looks like a hot mess in the background.

CJ
How did you even manage to miss that?
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 7:28 PM MST reply actions
He didn't miss the next one.
That was a serious flush.
by Basketball John on Nov 12, 2008 7:29 PM MST up reply actions
Not at all.
If Sloan puts Matthew back in I’m over it.

McGee
Looks like he could be Obama’s son.

My favorite quote ever
Was when I went to SUU for a semester. The star basketball player missed a bunny like that and then screamed out, “Dunk that sh$%!”

My heart sunk a little
when Deron hit the floor.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 7:40 PM MST reply actions
Please note
That KK hasn’t played in the 2nd half yet.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 7:43 PM MST reply actions
How do you get a delay of game
when you give the ball to the ref after the score?
by Basketball John on Nov 12, 2008 7:45 PM MST reply actions
This is BS
They’re not calling ANYTHING for the Jazz.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 7:46 PM MST reply actions
McGee
just fouled Millsap, traveled, ran into Paul on the way back in, missed the shot like a lurp, and got the call for himself. Bull-honky.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
hallelujah
a foul on McGee. Were there any justice, he’d have already fouled out.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Did Millsap ever play Football?
Because he hustles and he’s tough.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 7:49 PM MST reply actions
Because the 6-1 team is the Jazz
they suck on the road.
they suck on the East coast.
they suck on the 2nd half of back-to-backs.
They don’t play interior defense (JaVale McGee, anyone?).
Matt Harpring gets time over CJ Miles, who is finally feeling it.
'Sap
just took a tumble there, he nailed his arm on a chair on the Wiz bench. Ouch.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
I can't believe we're still in this
Three pointers are keeping us alive. Can’t believe I typed that about the Jazz.
Can we please put this away?
by Basketball John on Nov 12, 2008 7:51 PM MST reply actions
with the way the jazz don't come to play against bad teams...
we’re lucky to be in the west. if we were in the east, we probably wouldn’t even make the playoffs.
Kosta
Nerves of steel. Nails the last-second shot.
by Basketball John on Nov 12, 2008 7:53 PM MST reply actions
Fesenko's camp
is watching these results and weeping. Kosta is stealing his minutes from in front of his eyes.
Fes, meanwhile, is probably watching The Hills or something.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Fes
doesn’t strike me as a Bones kind of guy.
p.s. do you have a crush on Emily Deschanel or something? that’s got to be like eight references to Bones in one thread.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Not really
just that people keep bringing up other shows, or mention watching the Jazz (which I can’t do because the Jazz are stupid)
Do they get the Hills in Canada?
If not, lucky.
by Basketball John on Nov 12, 2008 7:57 PM MST up reply actions
Ok
I don’t even watch the Hills. Poor Fes.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 7:58 PM MST up reply actions
OK
Time to put Ronnie B and CJ in IMMEDIATELY

How many times
can we get hammered trying to get a D board and not get a call?

Looks like Millsap might get it.
AK not having such a great night.

it's a Subway
so, not terribly delicious. If it was Gandolfo’s or Jimmy John’s or something, then yeah.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Agree completely.
I had a craving for a Subway a bit back (it’d been a while), so I went and got one. Ugh.
The one time that school food (up at the U) beats anyplace… the sandwiches at the U are amazing.
Wizards
have 15 more free throw attempts than the Jazz. I repeat:
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
KK was doing good things.
And, why wasn’t anyone there to get the ball.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 8:04 PM MST reply actions
Why can McGee
Keep going over the back?
by Basketball John on Nov 12, 2008 8:05 PM MST reply actions
The same reason that
Gasol was allowed to set up camp in the lane last year.
The NBA never wants the Jazz to win the championship.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 8:06 PM MST up reply actions
good gravy
I can’t believe that NOBODY, EVER, EVER mentioned, in the entirety of last season, that Gasol spends more time in the paint than any player I’ve ever seen.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Where were you?
I said that during every game of the Playoffs last year.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 8:08 PM MST up reply actions
Yeah.
They’re are a lot of things they are ‘supposed’ to do.

That's why Collins
has been serving a 7-game suspension.
by Basketball John on Nov 12, 2008 8:10 PM MST up reply actions
If only.
Nah, that’s because he’s stupid.
It’s a fu**ing golf cart. Seriously.
Of course, I’m not complaining.
Jerry Sloan
needs someone to pick his ties. That thing is hideous.

God J-Slo
I know KK is awesome and all, but he’s not feeling well right now.
Put in CJ… it’s one game where he has deserved some time.
Can we we play one game without an injury?
by Basketball John on Nov 12, 2008 8:17 PM MST reply actions
for crap's sake
it takes Paul busting his head open to get Javale McGee out of the game, finally.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Ask the "expert"
Deron Williams: 38 minutes
Carlos Boozer: 36 minutes
Memo Okur: 32 minutes
Andrei Kirilenko: 30 minutes
Ronnie Brewer: 26 minutes
Kyle Korver: 20 minutes
Paul Millsap: 20 minutes
Matt Harpring: 18 minutes
C.J. Miles: 12 minutes
Ronnie Price/Brevin Knight: 8 minutes
If Harp is getting 18 minutes again and CJ only 12, I’ll stop watching the Jazz this season.
wow
I have never seen a game absolutely self-destruct in such a small period of time. Bad shots, bad play, crazy 3-pointers, horrible calls, the list goes on.
Screw this noise.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
I'm PISSED
The Refs totally blew this game for the Jazz
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 8:24 PM MST reply actions
don't blame them entirely
To be sure, they were utter crap. But our play in the last two minutes didn’t earn us jack crap.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Wait
Opponents can get Sub of the Game?
by Basketball John on Nov 12, 2008 8:24 PM MST reply actions
it's not the end of the world
keep in mind, we don’t have Memo, and Deron isn’t 100%. Second night of an Eastern back-to-back. We’ll be fine.
This is me trying to reassure myself.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWw.
I HATE this. It makes me pissed for the rest of the night.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 8:26 PM MST reply actions
I'm usually a staunch Sloan supporter
But CJ was feeling it and should have played 30
by Basketball John on Nov 12, 2008 8:27 PM MST reply actions
I completely blame J-Slo.
He benched the hot hand.
He played Harp 5:19 too much.
He played KK too much (he’s definitely not himself).
He didn’t play CJ enough. The one night of the season he’s going…
AK played horribly, and still played too much.
In other news.
The Celtics beat the Hawks, and the Fakers will beat the Hornets.
NOT surprising at all.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 12, 2008 8:30 PM MST reply actions
Damn
and double damn. I hate the Hornets, but I hate the Lakers more.
And this game (& J-Slo) has just ruined my night.
At least Bones was over… all I have left now is HW.
And sorry about the Bones reference Shums… the Jazz screwed up by having so many games on Wednesdays.
