Milwaukee Bucks at Utah Jazz, Nov 19, 2008 7:00 PM MST
Who knew Deron hunted?
Deron won't be playing this game, and neither will Knight. So we'll have Price start with anyone else that can handle the ball be his backup. Lots of AK, Brewer, and CJ. Although, I don't like CJ handling the ball as the PG.
The bucks will be out some players as well, namely Michael Redd. That's fine as he's torched the Jazz in the past.
Matt seems to think that Booze will get blocked tonight. Could very well happen. But he'll never know now that he's sans cable.
And this is one of my favorite NBA videos ever. Classic stuff
The Jazz will be shorthanded again (what else is new?). But they should be able to do well against the Bucks tonight with the front line of AK, Millsap, Boozer, and a little Kosta leading the way. Maybe KK2 will match up well against Bogut.
Check out Brew Hoop.

I don't think so
But, I don’t like it so much
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 7:29 PM MST up reply actions
Yeah
I think he grew it out a tiny bit and then shaved it again.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 7:30 PM MST up reply actions
Sometimes,
I listen to what Boler and Booner are saying, and it really just hurts my head.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 7:27 PM MST reply actions
Who is this Boozer?
And why is ge playing D?
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2008 7:33 PM MST reply actions
Ssshhhh.
Don’t remind him that his usual D=fouling. Maybe he has turned a corner in his life.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 7:34 PM MST up reply actions
just glad that it's not us
maybe this season we’ll shed our rep as the worst fouling team in the league
So, AK is shooting at like 80% at the line
KK, is shooting at 73%.!!!!!
What’s going on?
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 7:37 PM MST reply actions
POLL
Are you glad the we resigned CJ???
I AM!!
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 7:42 PM MST reply actions
that was great
block, fast break, alley-oop. NO ONE should ever say this team isn’t entertaining.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
"The wheels are coming off of the bus." - Boler
Excuse me, WHAT??
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 7:48 PM MST reply actions
well
in this analogy, the Bucks are a bus, and the wheels symbolize good basketball.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Um, who else thinks that we can get our first win in FORVER in SA on Friday??
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 7:49 PM MST reply actions
i was just thinking that
but then i remembered we couldn’t even win against them in the summer league
FWIW
They’ve won 3 straight… w/o Parker & Manu.
We’re going to need to stop Duncan… where stopping doesn’t equal fouling.
Why?
Are we letting the Bucks back in this?
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 7:55 PM MST reply actions
For the love of all that is holy
how does Paulie keep getting screwed on calls this badly? It’s baffling.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
He got bumped by Bogut under the basket
And then shoved. I don’t know how he gets the shaft so much.
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2008 7:59 PM MST up reply actions
When Boler says 'Help defense by Korver' is that an oxymoron?
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 7:59 PM MST reply actions
Oh my gosh
That made me laugh so hard, I’m almost crying
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 8:03 PM MST up reply actions
Cause
I like to look at KK more than I like to look at CJ.

Hm...
Though I guess it explains the “Where playing the hot hand and winning are secondary…” that is the tagline for my blog
in the words of Ron Weasley
“She needs to sort out her priorities.”
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Is that Harry Potter?
And, believe me, I have my priorities sorted.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 8:06 PM MST up reply actions
I've never read it
Or seen the movies
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 8:07 PM MST up reply actions
you can be one
if you want. I certainly am. And who doesn’t want to be more like me?
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
see, I thought about that
so I cleverly avoided that pitfall by putting on a front of false arrogance.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
I'm very upset about this.
How did we let a what 13 point lead get away and go into the half 2 down.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 8:09 PM MST up reply actions
I was going for both.
Everything has been short this season from him. Clang.
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2008 8:13 PM MST up reply actions
Brev Brev
played a huge part in our win on Monday. You really appreciate his effort and vision more in person.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Really?
I appreciated his effort immensely on TV (I finally got to watch a game!).
I guess it’d be better in person seeing how that game went down.
Um,
By the way. Last year when I went to Jazz I blogged about it and then BBJ would post it on the website. You didn’t. So, we don’t even know how good the game was in person…
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 19, 2008 8:15 PM MST up reply actions
haven't had a chance
but I will do so, if not for Monday’s game, then certainly when I go next week.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Ok.
You’re forgiven then. thank you.

Scoreboard watching
Congrats to the Clips on their 2nd win of the season. Of course, it came against a 1-win OKC Backstabbers team, but eh.
Oh, and it’s Sacramento up by 7 on the Hornets with 30 seconds left.
Depends who we give up
Any combination of Almond, Harpring, or Flop would do, but I don’t think they’ll want any of those guys.
It'd probably cost at least Okur
which kinda simmers my interest, because I think having a big that can play outside helps Booze’s inside game. At least offensively.
his line tonight
25 pts, 14 rbs, 6 ast, 4 blks. I’m just glad he’s on my fantasy team. Rhymes With Satan FTW!
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Jazz. Wake Up!
You’re at home! Remember?
You haven’t lost at home since George Lucas went bat-sh!t insane and decided to film not 1, but 3, horribly pathetic prequels. So why are you losing to a Michael Redd-less Bucks team now?
this is so typical Jazz
get fired up to play the high-profile Suns, massive letdown against the no-name Bucks.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
I'm getting killed in the SLC Dunk league this week
injuries to Kevin Martin & Jose Calderon suck.
I’m #2 right now in the “Battle of Bloggers” league, #4 in the league run by Empty The Bench, and #3 in the SLC Dunk league. Not too bad, but it’s early.
I am disappointed that...
Price doesn’t run the team well yet and more that Koufos hasn’t played at all. Boozer can’t handle Bogut’s size.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Wow
we’re currently being out-rebounded by 6. I thought the Bucks didn’t have much size in the front line…
Oh
8 offensive boards for them will do it. Including 3 for Bogut.
That’s how much the Jazz have offensively as a team.
I love Koufos' shot blocking ability.
He is just what Jazz fans hoped Fess would be this season.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Good finish
I like how AK immediately went to guard the inbounds pass even with just .9 left. Boozer on the other hand was celebrating his shot.
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2008 8:51 PM MST reply actions
I'm sorry.
But Price as PG really isn’t working.
If Knight is out for any extended period of time (aka, more than just this game), I think we go get rid of one of Flop or No Knees (or Almond, if it comes to it) via trade for a draft pick or outright release, and go sign a young PG.
Young so that we can send him to the D-league when Brevin & Deron are healthy.
I disagree
He just shouldn’t be a starting PG, or even the main backup PG. He’s great as a change of pace guard, and I think he works well with other high-energy guys like AK or Brewer or Millsap. The fact is, when we’re healthy, we have Deron and Brev Brev, and don’t really need anything after that. Throwing in Ronnie P is just a bonus, and he’s fine for that.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
I know.
The problem is that he is starting now. And if both guys are gonna be out for a bit, I think we need to go get someone to start. I guess that goes against the whole “youth” thing though… and you can’t sign 10-day contracts yet.
He’s not a J-Slo type PG.
Watched slo-mo
Jefferson punched him in the side.
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2008 8:58 PM MST reply actions
I love AK, but
He sort of looks like a wuss sometimes.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
BBJ,
I loved your comment on the Hornets on the blogger power rankings. What is their excuse?
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Don't know
They just got beat again.
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2008 9:01 PM MST up reply actions
PGs out-there...
Not so youngsters
Dan Dickau.
Keith McLeod, if we want someone that knows the system.
Eddie Gill.
Youngsters
Gerry McNamara.
Jamaal Tatum.
Jared Jordan.
Brandon Heath.
John Lucas.
Yeah
but I think I’d rather have McLeod or Dickau starting than Price. It’s just not working for him for some reason. He’s the “spark off the bench” guy.
Austin Croshere sighting
Remember when the Pacers were awesome?
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Remember his big playoff run
And the huge contract he got? He was pretty good last night.
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2008 9:03 PM MST up reply actions
Knight will be back soon enough.
Not having a pg won’t kill us long term.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Booze working on his DD.
Oh, and thank god that the Bucks bench is so bad. Only 2 players have scored…
All he ever did
was taunt the Rockets bench his rookie season, and then get shipped off with a ton of other wasted 1st round picks to bring back ’Tag.
I miss ’Tag.
If I'm Sloan
I tell Miles he’s not going home until he makes 90 out of 100 free throws. There’s no excuse for his poor shooting.
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2008 9:10 PM MST reply actions
Nope
He’s only shooting 64% this year.
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2008 9:14 PM MST up reply actions
Missed the first two
But his season % is bad. And his career percentage doesn’t inspire.
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2008 9:13 PM MST up reply actions
Sorry
I meant I missed the first two. Just saw him go 1-2.
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2008 9:19 PM MST up reply actions
Good strip by bell.
But Price needs to pass that.

If you want to know what an "ex-insider" thinks about the Jazz.

A blog on Hoops Hype by Jazz pre-season player Gabe Muoneke.
Interesting stuff.
AK-47
is lethal. Not even I thought that he’d flourish off the bench so well.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Why is it
That the Jazz have spectacular blocks and then still can’t get the ball back? Happens all the time.
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2008 9:12 PM MST reply actions
Bogut is making us look small on the inside tonight.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I guess
JaVale McGee wasn’t an exception to the rule. Bigs are going to kill us all season, it seems.
Time to go sign Zeke, or ’Zo, or McDyess or PJ Brown, or anyone really.
You want to sign Isiah Thomas? That is Zeke.
And Koufos is the answer for controlling the paint.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
that you, Boler?
I can’t believe he missed an opportunity to say that. “CJ! THE DAGGER!!”
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Boozer: strained left quad tendon
at least it’s not a hamstring.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Dang.
Another benchie scored for them.
And they pulled Bogut. Are they conceding? Or do they just not want him to foul out here?
Weird finishing team
AK, Price, Millsap, CJ, Okur
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2008 9:21 PM MST reply actions
I don't think so
unless he’s been reading my blog and decided to try something new.
But I don’t think he likes “new”.
One thing about CJ
Other than scoring, he really doesn’t seem to do much else (at least on the box score). That’s probably not a good thing for him… going the way of Adam Morrison or something.
Once these guys get Redd back
They’ll make some noise in the east.
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2008 9:23 PM MST reply actions
The AK Award
AK is just off of a 5×5 (as Vromanite mentioned)
’Sap had 8 points, 6 boards, 3 assists & 6 blocks!
Huge games from both of them.
man
My favorite thing about this team is how everybody contributes. This is a “team” in a way professional leagues rarely see. I love it.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
I'm gonna be honest.
It is going to be hard, if not impossible to catch the Lakers record wise. They are going to win a lot of games and we had a slow start with injuries. But I think we are fine if we get at least a top 3 and hopefully a top 2 spot. And I think with NO and Houston struggling, we have the edge for the 2nd best team in the West record-wise. That needs to be our focus. To just keep winning while others struggle. Then we can worry about the Lake show come Conference finals time.
