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.

I'm the first to post.
Which means I am either awesome, or I have no life.
You make the call.

Tom Nissalke during the pre-game:
(on Brook Lopez) At least he has a sensible haircut. The other guy looks like a toadstool.
lol
Ugh.
B98.7 has music.
The Fan Sports audio feed is silent.
NBA.com’s feed just freezes my internet browser.
I hate this.
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.
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.

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.
utesfan89, have you tried watching the game on channelsurfing.net, yet?
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Jazz games? no.
occasionally i try football games, but it moves very choppily at times. if it works, which isn’t a given.
are basketball games better?
they have worked for me. But sometimes they don't work.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
That's more like it. We are settling for jumpshots early. That Brewer dunk was sweet.

He was just trying to set Booner up for the classic joke line-
“Or a ladder” wokka wokka.

I rule
at Trivial Pursuit. clarkpojo thinks he’s better but he isn’t.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Haha.
I’ll have to be the judge of that…

I will play you anytime, anywhere. And Danielle can even judge.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
haha
I knew I would get a response from you with that. I don’t think we’ve ever played. It would be epic though.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Danielle, when you have the athletic ability and attractiveness that Shums and I have, you have to rely on witty banter and trivial knowledge just to get by in the world.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Hahaha.
Right. I can’t wait for Christmas to see this epic battle then.

That was a Harpring-like foul on Miles. Nice push in the back.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Even CJ is dunking with authority.
We might be the best dunking team in the league now, top to bottom. I mean, who is better?
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I know, His hand was hurt. DUH.
He was shking his hand when he was shooting.

Didn't you see him dive on the floor last game? Rug burns.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Devin Harris is arguably the best point guard in the East right now.
That is bad for the Jazz AND the mavericks.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
But he is an expiring contract, so it is smart to keep him until they are out of playoff contention.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
that
could have been much worse. Good job to recover to end the quarter.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
That is an interesting question though.
Is Harris or Rose the best point guard in the East?
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Um, since we all should dislike Rose,
I’ll say Harris.
But, we may dislike him too after tonight.
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 29, 2008 7:42 PM MST up reply actions
not good for the jazz
and not good for my fantasy team either.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Correction.
Everyone is having a tough night
by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 29, 2008 7:48 PM MST up reply actions
wha?
a negative comment about KK’s appearance? Is this really danielle?
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
I was just saying that he was looking a bit shappy
He’s still way hot. Duh.

I'm not watching close...
…but it feels like Korver is negatively impacting our defense. Am I wrong?
boooo
lame call with one second on the shot clock. But the Koof needs to be smarter than that.
also, Devin Harris must stop shooting free throws. Doubleplusungood.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
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.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Yeah, but this season is an aberration...
With all the injuries, missed games—it’s not like last season when they’d do this.
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.
And we don’t play great defense.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
um, what happened?
I get back from dinner and we’re down nine? double-you tee eff?
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
I thought we were supposed to be good at home?

Steve Brown: "We haven't seen this kind of effort from a visiting team here in a long time."
He obviously didn’t watch the Bulls game.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Awful awful awful...
I came back here to say just that. Unless we cut it to 10 in a hurry, and that seems unlikely.
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.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Yep
though Boler was lucky enough to be commentating on an awesome college football game and not a NBA blowout.
pretty clear
the ankle is not 100% yet. And this doesn’t help Deron’s case for being a better on-ball defender than He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
And Harris apparently predicted it would happen before the game.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
God.
Bad shooting night.
Harris absolutely killing DWill.
And our offensive pace isn’t enough (or full of enough 3-point shooters) to get us back in this.
easy, guys
I mean, maybe Fes just really likes Orem.
…. okay, I can’t say that with a straight face.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Yeah
I had 7 years of feast, now it’s time for 7 years of famine. I better not go to a Jazz game again. I’ll have to waste the losses on pre-season games.
