Utah Jazz at Detroit Pistons, Dec 19, 2008 6:00 PM MST
Just getting this in. I've been shoveling myself out all day.
Jazz have won 6 straight against the Pistons. Let's hope that the Boozer announcement didn't derail any momentum the Jazz had from the last game.

you’re not at work tonight. I honestly may end up sleeping at the office, rather than risk life and limb on these roads in my 15-year-old car.

i still remember reading a pistons game thread
last season after memo sealed a win with a late 3.
and the pistons fans were all grumbling “who on the pistons doesn’t know that all okur wants to do is shoot 3s?”

Um, what?
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 6:40 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
Climbs up the ladder..
Is usually referring to short guys who can get up. Bolerjack doesn’t know this. He doesn’t actually know much about basketball. That is why the Toyota Tuff questions are always like, “Which guy on the team has the best haircut?” or “Would the Jazz be better off if they made their free throws?”

Any particular reason why Harp is in the game?
by Vromanite on Dec 19, 2008 7:58 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
Because his 1-3 shooting night
puts him at the 2nd best percentage off of the Jazz bench right now.

Damn
Didn’t realize no other bench player has hit a shot other than AK

so i guess kk's last game
was indeed an aberration
by moni on Dec 19, 2008 8:04 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Well No Knees has one too
but good call in not including him with the ‘bench’ :)
by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:05 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Looking ahead
(because I can…)
the Bulls were blown out by the Celtics tonight. None of the starters (save Luol Deng) played more than 25 minutes (he played 38). On the other hand, Drew Gooden left with a sprained ankle after 6 minutes, and is day-to-day.
by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:00 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
Dang.
I knew I should have started Deng instead of Delonte West. Also, I am not watching this game due to football and I must say I can’t believe this game has been competitive.

Jazz falling apart.
Though I guess that was kinda expected given that
a- They’re on the road and
b- They’ve gotten 8 total points from the bench.
We need more Koufos & less Harpring.

I’m totally over this Booze thing though. Personally, I just hope it disappears… whatever happens will happen. If people keep bringing this up, it’s going to eventually get to the Jazz. Probably not in a good way.

Agreed.
He got a bad rap from the NBA, and the refs jump on it whenever possible.
by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:14 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Did you see the trade proposal on a Des News story a bit back?
I mentioned it on my blog, but someone advocated trading CJ, Harpring & Fesenko for Ron Ron.
For all his idiocies, I’d jump on that in a millisecond if it was offered. Oh, and if we could package deal CJ (we can’t this year).
Anyhow, your point… he deserves at least some of the bad rap for the Detroit thing. But I think the NBA is trying to make Ron Artest & ‘Detroit fiasco’ synonymous with each other, which is kinda stupid. And unfair to him. Though he is totally insane.

Starbury buries the Jazz, and he’s like horrible, right? So the Jazz would need someone similar to beat the Pistons… and Flop is out because golf carts are the ultimate evil or something.
