New Jersey Nets at Utah Jazz, Nov 29, 2008 7:00 PM MST
With apologies to Dominique Wilkins (although, he almost was a Jazz man), the past two games against Memphis and Sacramento have been nothing but top ten fodder. Alley-oops, lobs off the backboards for dunks, behind the back passes, big time swats, and a plethora of steals - these past couple of games have been the birth of the Great Salt Lake Show.
And all of this has coincided with the return of Deron Williams. Will the Jazz always play the Kings and Grizzlies of the league? No. But we're still not at full strength and look what we've done. You might want to discount what the Jazz have done against lesser teams this year. But that's exactly what you're suppose to do to lesser teams when you're an elite team.
So the Jazz train continues to pick up momentum and won't be stopped any time soon - unless it's by their own undoing.
I'll be at the game tonight trying to start a new attendance winning streak. I'm currently 7-1 lifetime with the lone loss to the Rockets in the playoffs last year at home.

Tom Nissalke during the pre-game:

Ugh.
B98.7 has music.
The Fan Sports audio feed is silent.
NBA.com’s feed just freezes my internet browser.
I hate this.
by UtesFan89 on Nov 29, 2008 7:02 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
yeah, it seriously bugs me that kfan's feed cuts out before games
sometimes it cuts out up to an hour before the game meaning i can’t even listen to the pre-game.

B98.7 will kick in soon, I think

Rookie center out of Stanford
horrible sights of Flop kicked in. Then Hot Rod mentioned 10 ppg & 7 rpg…

I don't know what you guys are thinking
But Flops only goal is to go all the way to the finals. Duh.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 29, 2008 7:09 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe
him & J-Slo have a Duncan/Popovich type relationship. When the player retires, the coach will too. Except Popovich picked a good player to latch on with, J-Slo not so much.

i don't know if i'm in the minority
but i don’t want jerry to retire. he’s the only coach i’ve ever known.

Same thing here.
I’m not calling for him to quit (right now), but there are some things that are really frustrating…
Other times, I really hope he’ll quit.

Right now, for this team
Borchardt is better. At least he isn’t taking up space & money.

Devin Harris is arguably the best point guard in the East right now.
That is bad for the Jazz AND the mavericks.

The Mavs
refuse to listen to offers for Kidd.

But he is an expiring contract, so it is smart to keep him until they are out of playoff contention.

That is an interesting question though.
Is Harris or Rose the best point guard in the East?

Harris right now, IMO.
Rose still needs some time.

Um, since we all should dislike Rose,
I’ll say Harris.
But, we may dislike him too after tonight.

Everytime I think the Jazz have turned the corner this season, they have a game like this.
That is also the problem with this game. Everytime we make a run, the Nets answer.

by rxmike12 on Nov 29, 2008 8:45 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
yeah, but our team is much deeper than last year
due to minor changes, lineup adjustments, and player development.
they shouldn’t be able to use injuries as an excuse.

If your shots aren't falling, you have to rely on great defense to win games.

I don't mind it. We have some time before our next game.
But how about the fact that twice in one week we have failed to double team a guy who is playing “unstoppable” one on one ball? We need to change our defensive philosophy.
