Utah Jazz at Charlotte Bobcats, Nov 14, 2008 5:00 PM MST
Here's your starting DNP for the night,
- Deron - Ankle
- AK - Finger
- Memo - Ailing father
- Collins - Collins
- Harpring - Okay, so Matt is listed to play. But he should be DNP and not steal minutes from others. I guess we have to have him active in case Sloan can't go tonight.
- Don't know the status of Fesenko.
Millsap is a bit banged up. Korver's wrist and shooting is still an issue. We have no one to help on D on the inside (more than usual). So Okafor and Wallace will probably have huge games.
We've lost to Charlotte at full strength. The game plan again will be to put the Bobcats away early and not let them gain any confidence. I think teams can smell blood because they know the Jazz aren't full strength. But damnit, if the 2004 team can win 41 games, this ad hoc lineup should be able to win.

AHHH.
Sorry, I was out cruising around town thinking that the game started at 6. DUH. I get home and it’s like already started.

gonna be working all night
so I’ll be in and out. Mostly out. Not having a good day; I could really use a Jazz win to help my mood. At least Ronnie P has started out on fire.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Just got home.
I’m worried. We suck on the road at full strength. And now there’s no Deron/AK/Okur, and we have No Knees. Yikes.
Thank god
we have a bench. But now, what about the back-ups for the already back-ups that are starting?
It's a good thing
That Charlotte isn’t very good. Still, I’m worried about this game. It doesn’t look good.

Right Now.
And, The only thing I like about Deron being on the bench, is that he looks way HOT in a suit :)

Hell will freeze over
before No Knees carries a team

First of all.
Harpring was our leading scorer for like 20 games in 2005-2006. Second of all. I told you guys that there was nothing to worry about with this game. It isn’t a back to back game.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Harpring had a knee
back in 2005-06.
As for this game… I’m still worried about a 3rd quarter collapse. And that’ll probably last all season.
?
What happens when you “Dial the Dunk”?

Takes you to a voicemail system.
I’m trying to get a cool greeting, but it’s a lame Napoleon Dynamite greeting now. Then your voicemail is broadcast on SLCDunk.

Good idea by Charlotte to go to backcourt pressure.
They do have a good coach.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
2 fouls
on Okafor, May & Ajinca.
That’s huge. Not much height left there. Time for Booze & ’Sap (& Koufos?) to dominate.
Dammit Booze
what are you thinking? You’re going to finish the first half with 7 points against a team that has more or less lost all their big guys.
Amar from All That Jazz
recently proposed a couple…
The Kolossus, The Ice Man, My big fat Greek draft pick, Ko-Ko, Souvlaki
Speaking of nicknames
I knida think “D-Will” isn’t a great one. Booze at least has the slightly ironic thing going on, but D-Will is just a shortened version of his name, doesn’t sound funny, and has no secondary meaning.
sometimes
you have to go with what the players call themselves. Deron won’t suffer any other nickname than D-Will. Never forget Hot Rod’s “Slick Willy” debacle.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Too bad
Hadn’t heard about “Slick Willy” out in LA, but I would tend to side with Deron on that particular candidate.
wise choice
it lasted about halfway through Deron’s rookie year. Needless to say, it didn’t take. There have been other articles trying to give Deron a different nickname — my personal favorite was some variation of “8-ball,” due to his jersey number; “8-Baller” or something. But any time Deron has been asked, he says her prefers Deron or D-Will.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
2nd quarter implosions are the best for the Jazz.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Price tries way to hard.
And Brewer should be getting the ball every posession and creating stuff for himself and others.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Price just doesn't have the ability to create for others.
And in the Jazz offense, all you have to do is make a pass when someone gets open.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Agreed
That’s one of the reasons I really think Knight should be starting for the Jazz when Deron is out. He fits the PG-mold that J-Slo likes a lot better
Sorry.
I had to pick up my sis from BYU, and EVERYONE at BYU is a retarded driver. UGH.
What happened? When I left they were up by 10!

The Koof!
I’m liking his game. Sorry to say, but Fes is firmly ensconced in third place on the depth chart now.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
This game is why CJ gets no time when he's hot.
1-4 from long range? You’re not Korver dude… drive to the hoop.
This is just not good
It’s kind of a hot mess
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 14, 2008 6:35 PM MST reply actions
gosh
I’m sick of that joke, and I’m the one who made it. I apologize to everyone.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
I still think it's funny
But, I’m easily ammused. Espeically since I’m not watching the game anymore.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 14, 2008 6:45 PM MST up reply actions
What is this?
The 9th game. And I’ve seen 1/2 of 1 regular season game this season.
So stupid, the Jazz are.
Why does this feel eerily similar to last year?
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 14, 2008 6:41 PM MST reply actions
We never had to play our junior varsity last year.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
We shouldn't lose to the Bobcats.
No matter who is in. But the problem is that we just don’t have a great team right now. Koufos is impressing us, but that is mostly because we don’t expect that much from him. He is getting owned on the glass. Boozer is the man that needs to bring this game home, but he is in foul trouble and so he is playing really soft and timid. The bobcats are putting their best defenders on Ronnie Brewer and Price is a little lost in our first team offense. That is a bad recipe. I still think we win this game, but you have to realize what we are working with here. We don’t have a defender who can take out their best player and that hurts a lot. I take back my comment about Koufos. He looks like a legit shot blocker/changer.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Maybe they should put Flop in
And let him do what he does best.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 14, 2008 6:52 PM MST reply actions
Oh yeah.
Oops.
I also forgot “complain about not touching the ball enough”. Anyone remember that from last year (I think it was, maybe the year before)?
You know why I hate Harpring's game so much?
He has a horrible basketball IQ. On transition defense he runs down and stands in the middle of the defensive lane. And then runs out helter skelter to challenge Adam Morrison’s 3 pointer. Who did he think was going to guard him? Korver is on a guy in the corner and oh yeah, Harpring was guarding nobody in the lane. No Bobcat was within 10 feet of him. Those are killer mistakes and he makes at least one EVERY game.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
If anyone is watching the game
how does Augustin look?
I wanted him for the Jazz as a back-up way back when (before the Knight/Hart swap)… though I knew there was no way he’d fall to the Jazz.
He seemed like he’d be a good fit behind Deron though, and that he’d fit into Sloan’s system.
OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS.
We’re gonna lose this game.

I think it's time
to petition David Stern to require the Eastern Conference either migrate to the West or go join another league.
wow
Brev Brev hitting the baseline J. Whatever flak he took for being an awful shooter, he’s proving it wrong.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Why don't the refs call fouls on the Bobcats down low?
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Adam Morrison
10 points, 1 rebound, 3 fouls.
If he did anything else at all, he might’ve been worth a lottery pick.
Morrison is lighting it up this season.
He is seriously scoring like a point every 2 minutes. He is not a bust and would have been good last year, if he didn’t get hurt. And Brown’s quote about him was right on. On the right team, he would hit big shot after big shot.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
And until 4 minutes ago, we were playing with -4 urgency/intensity.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Why the HELL is CJ playing off of Morrison? You know he is going to shoot it. He can't drive past you.
That, my friends, is why Miles doesn’t deserve more trust, even when he is lighting it up. He can kill with poor play.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I thought Booze was fouling less this year...
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 14, 2008 7:08 PM MST reply actions
well, this game proves that booze doesn't care about money
he can’t be playing like this AND expecting big bucks this summer…
He's guaranteed big bucks
unless he plays the rest of the season as if he’s a poor man’s Kwame Brown.
Are you guys in a bad mood after a Jazz loss?
Or is it just me?

Didn' t you just see me all caps a swear word?
I am pissed off.

Dear Brevin,
Playing D doesn’t equal fouling. I just wanted you to know.
Love,
D

Enter the corrupt beaurocrats (refs). Who hold the real control.

Prediction.
We’re gonna go 1-4 on this roadtrip.

We waited until one minute left to play with passion and effort.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
That is what kills us on the road. We play half-assed.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I think it's more
that the team knew it had a ready-made excuse not to bring it tonight, and so they didn’t. I hate that.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
OH HALE NO.
Why is KK not on the court?
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 14, 2008 7:21 PM MST reply actions
Why the hell
was Knight in there? We need 3 pointers. Swapping 2 points with FTs isn’t going to get anything done.
God J-Slo. I hate you sometimes.
There was over 30 seconds left down 5.
A quick 2 pointer was the correct call. It just didn’t happen.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Brev Brev
I love you, man, but you are NOT the go-to guy at the end of the game, no matter how depleted the roster is.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
In his defense.
I think he thought he was going to get fouled and threw it up to the basket. But Knight shooting 15 shots is inexcusable.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
i know ronnie b worked on his shooting
but that doesn’t mean i want to see him taking long shots. his fg% is 10% down from last year. and even more probably after today’s 4-16
Damn.
Matt Harpring 14 minutes. CJ 25.
That’s 14 too many for Matt, and like 15 too many for CJ given his performance today.
Playing him extra minutes today because he was feeling it in the last game is stupid. And very much a J-Slo like move.
I feel sick to my stomach.
Why did they have to do this?

Koufos looks solid defensively, which might be good long term.
I am no longer a Jazz fan.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Serioulsy.
I can’t defend this team any longer. They don’t play with any heart.

Well,
This has been so much fine. I hope you all have an excellent evening.

KJZZ is trying to help
by taking all the games off.
I guess that’s the one upside… I don’t have to watch shit like this. Just listen to Hot Rod and his stats (which are always off, for some reason) instead.
Not that it’s any better.
The icing on the cake:
If Portland wins tonight, we will have the same record. Perfect.
