Chicago Bulls @ Utah Jazz - Game Thread - Public Enemy #1

Chicago Bulls at Utah Jazz, Nov 24, 2008 7:00 PM MST

I'll be very disappointed if Derrick Rose is booed any less that Derek Fisher was when he returned to the ESA.

The Jazz have been very fortunate though while Deron has been out.  They've had a relatively easy schedule that has enabled them to go 9-5 on the season.  Would it have been better with an healthy D-Will and team?  Probably.  I'd put as at about 11-3 or 12-2 right now.

But as it stands, we're second in the Western Conference.  We're about to get Deron back.  And most of the other walking injured should be back then to start a run.

But first things first, taking care of the Bulls.  I remember in the 90's when Jazz home games against Chicago had a huge following of Bulls fans.  There's still some, but not nearly what there used to be.  Bandwagoners are like that.

The usual suspects are out again, Williams, Boozer, Korver, and Collins.  Regardless, we should be able to contain them at home.  And if Memo keeps up his hot shooting, it's lights out.

I was halfway

through a Game Thread post myself. Good to see you weren’t going to see Twilight again or something.

As if

there’s something wrong with seeing it again. Haha.

yeah

you’ve been very specific in making him Public Enemy #1.

I've set it before and I'll say it again.

I don’t mind ‘seeing’ Deron on the bench. I especially don’t mind seeing KK all dressed up on the bench.

Harpring

out for the game too.

"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"

by Shums on Nov 24, 2008 7:14 PM MST reply actions  

for all y'all not watching

malfunctions with the game clocks are requiring Jazz PA announcer Dan Roberts to boom out the shot clock in five-second increments. Wonder how that will affect things.

Um,

I’m nervous about this game.

Brev Brev

finally gets some points for the Jazz. Meanwhile, CJ goes sliding on his butt. There are issues at the ESA tonight, kids.

quarter over

hopefully they fix the clock issues during the break.

Mo Nuts

goes up like a wuss, gets it blocked, loses the ball. I’m sorry, as much as I like his attitude and personality and awesome nickname, his game is Not-Quite-Ready-For-Prime-Time.

"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"

by Shums on Nov 24, 2008 7:41 PM MST reply actions  

Um,

I met him. Please be polite.

Also, did you see that Fes was the first one off the bench when Sap got that dunk.

by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 24, 2008 7:42 PM MST up reply actions  

I just said

I like him as a person, and he plays hard. Just not really an NBA-ready player at this point.

"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"

okay

I take it back, Mo Nuts. Way to run the floor.

Alls we need to do is double Rose every possession. There should be no reason not to.

He is killing us and we need to adjust.

nice move across the lane, should’ve gotten a foul called too. Man, does he get hosed.

OK,

Apparently Jerry didn’t get his point off enough during halftime.

Finally. Some defense.

This is crazy sauce.

I don't know

if this says more about their offense or our defense.

"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"

by Shums on Nov 24, 2008 8:46 PM MST up reply actions  

Though they've only shot 7 FTs

making it seem like it’s more on jump shots.
Meaning that either they’re on fire, or we’re leaving them way wide open (or both).

by UtesFan89 on Nov 24, 2008 8:48 PM MST up reply actions  

FYI

I am now ranked at #3 in the league. And this game is just helping to pad my stat sheet even more. Not that I’m rubbing it in or anything.

by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 24, 2008 8:50 PM MST reply actions  

I'm in 4th place

but tied with you somehow.

I need Kevin Martin back. Now.

easy tiger

it’s only the third week, lots of teams have had injuries, and I’m winning anyway.

Just wait

The Jazz have another roadtrip coming up. I’ll pass you by then.

I see

that our starting 5 (Price, CJ, Brewer, Booze, Okur)… when they’re all healthy, has a +/- of -21.
Yikes.

Airballs in the NBA are unacceptable.

And why don’t we get defensive rebounds anymore?

not on something like that. Scoring errors and shot clocks are reviewable. Not calls.

I'm as depressed as you guys

But good CAN come out of this, guys. I really think this is going to help us when our starters come back.

But damn it hurts. Deflation…

If we had hit our FTs

if we had shot better from downtown
if we had played better D
if the refs didn’t let players get away with everything against ‘Sap
that last foul on ’Sap shouldn’t have been called
Nocioni’s fouling ways
injuries galore

Ugh.

by UtesFan89 on Nov 24, 2008 9:25 PM MST reply actions  

I am the most pissed off I have been all season.

No reason to lose games like this at home. The Bulls were on a back to back. We will be better when Deron comes back, but we will still play with the same lack of energy if we continue to let ourselves play this way.

by clarkpojo on Nov 24, 2008 9:26 PM MST reply actions  

Dang tough to take this one......

No real reason we should not have destroyed them in the third and made sure they did not get out of the hole.

But such will be another game.

On the most critical play of the game, all the Jazz guys were headed for the hoop and the ball was headed the other direction, flat footed is where the Jazzguys found themselves, and flat headed is where us Jazz fans are sitting. All but dumbfounded, confused, frustrated and many other emotions as well.

What should not have happened, did. SUCKS!!

Has anybody noticed the beat down Green Bay is getting from the Saints? Can only compare it to oh say, Florida, Oklahoma or say the Utes in their wins last weekend.! :)

This was a good game, horrible result, reffing was as usual, (which is sad), but all that stuff is normal for every game. We just gotta play harder and HIT our SHOTS! All will be fine.
