Utah Jazz @ Los Angeles Clippers - Game Thread - MIA

Utah Jazz at Los Angeles Clippers, Nov 3, 2008 8:30 PM MST


Second verse, same as the first.

The only difference in this game will be that it's in LA instead of at the ESA.  The Clippers will be able to hang around longer since they've had some time to rest and because they're playing at home.  That said, they Jazz should once again be favored as Baron Davis is out and Camby could be.

Deron is of course still out.  Siler has the update on his status.  It sounds like he would have been back by now if not for the swelling of his foot with blood.

Maybe we need to throw some leaches on the thing.

So just take everything I wrote in the last game thread and apply it to this one.

Wow. That picture has no place in the World Wide Web.

I think I have to talk to my bishop now. Thanks.

what the hell is that?

Is the game at 8:30 tonight? I’m out campaigning in the freezing cold

I'm reading

Davis could play, and Camby will get 15-20 minutes.

I don't care what anyone says.

Boozer has been playing with great defensive intensity and he communicates on the floor on defense.

Miles. Does not play good defense.

I don’t know why some people say he does or has the potential to. He moves too much on defense. Looks nervous.

He has "potential"

he’s not looking very far ahead in finding it though.
LIke you said, too nervous. And not exactly looking like he’s worth $4 million.

Anyone has "potential"

except for Collins and Hart.

That last drive by Boozer

Is unusual for him. He went right for the contact. Maybe that’s been his attitude change this year on both ends.

by Basketball John on Nov 3, 2008 8:59 PM MST reply actions   0 recs

I might just be optimistic, but,

I just get a different sense from this team than the last year’s team. Last year in a game like this, I just kept hoping that the Jazz would come around and steal the game, but this year, I feel like we will win this game. There is a sense of accountability on the court. The defense improves in game. We are now stopping Thornton. Boozer plays with attitude now. I like what I have seen so far. Don’t worry fans. We will win this game. We seem to really not want to lose, which is refreshing.

Im glad you feel confident

I am feeling very uneasy about this game. It just gives me anxiety when Deron isn’t playing

by DaniellelovesKK on Nov 3, 2008 9:17 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

I agree

You can definitely tell when the team has “it.” They seem to now.

Nothing against Knight or Price

but I miss watching D-Will play. Hopefully he’ll be back for the Portland game.

Memo looks...

…not so good. Hoping he picks it up a bit.

by rxmike12 on Nov 3, 2008 9:17 PM MST reply actions   0 recs

I don't know what Memo's deal is.

I thought that he would have a hot start to the season due to his hot end last year. He isn’t playing badly. He just isn’t shooting. It is encouraging to know we will have another level to go to when he starts playing and asserting himself.

by clarkpojo on Nov 3, 2008 9:19 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

He looks tentative..

…even when he goes to the hole it’s a step slower than usual. For a guy who’s supposed to be in much improved shape, I dunno what’s up.

by rxmike12 on Nov 3, 2008 9:20 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed.

But he isn’t forcing anything, which would be bad. He just isn’t asserting himself.

Have Memo and Boozer

Ever played well together? Seems like one is hot, the other is cold. Are they sharing the hot hand?

by Basketball John on Nov 3, 2008 9:23 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

I like these announcers.

They aren’t biased and they are straightforward. And they don’t keep track of double doubles.

filled Stockton’s shoes with the Zions commercials.

by Basketball John on Nov 3, 2008 9:21 PM MST reply actions   0 recs

I personally think that Boozer will stay with the Jazz after this season.

But I would now move Detroit to the very top of the list of potential suitors.

Baron is our best weapon right now.

We are settling for too many long two pointers. We need to control the paint or take 3’s.

As far as DWill goes...

Is it smarter to sit him vs. Portland and let him rest ’til the NY game? An extra four days might be good long term for 1 game…

…although I’m dying to see him back.

by rxmike12 on Nov 3, 2008 9:39 PM MST reply actions   0 recs

I am confident that Deron will know when he is ready to come back.

I think it will be his decision and he looks like he won’t rush anything, so if he’s ready, I think he will play.

Lebron to Detroit would be realistic if...

-Lebron wanted to win championships more than make 50 Billion dollars.
-Detroit was a market city and not like a 3rd world country
-Lebron was best friends with Fifty Cent or Mary J. Blige and they partly owned the Pistons

There should be a rule for CJ.

He can’t shoot an outside shot unless he has made 3 layups.

Okur & Almond works

if you’re willing to do that. But that probably won’t help Booze inside at all.

I thought Brewer would struggle this game.

But not like this. We need to look for him a little more. Him and Boozer and Okur should get the offensive calls to finish the game.

The way they had to double Brewer last game makes me think

he should be getting the ball more in the paint. Back down Mobley while Camby’s not in there.

Nothing against Price & Knight

but this team just seems horribly less potent without Deron.

And that needs to be fixed, or Deron will be playing 40+ minutes a game this season.

I also think they are both good backups in this league. We have the best 3 point guard rotation in the league, hands down.

10 points, 9 assists, 2 TOs. Nice.

Price -3, Knight +19.

Not great, but totally acceptable.
