Utah Jazz @ Detroit Pistons - Game Thread

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.

at least

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.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 6:02 PM MST reply actions  

oh yeah

and go Jazz.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 6:03 PM MST up reply actions  

Ok,

This game has disaster written all over it.

by DaniellelovesKK on Dec 19, 2008 6:13 PM MST reply actions  

does dwill look that bad?

the pistons announcers are saying that they love the dwill-stuckey matchup bc it’s like each is guarding himself

by moni on Dec 19, 2008 6:18 PM MST reply actions  

all. cash. money.

Nice, Memo.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 6:20 PM MST reply actions  

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?”

by moni on Dec 19, 2008 6:23 PM MST up reply actions  

Uhh....

The Detroit broadcast showed that AK was from the “USSR”. Weird, huh?

by Vromanite on Dec 19, 2008 6:27 PM MST reply actions  

seriously?

that’s hilarious. How old is the graphics guy, 65?

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 6:30 PM MST up reply actions  

not a good end to the quarter

but hey, anything’s better than the 1st quarter vs. NJ.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 6:34 PM MST reply actions  

Sheed

likes to shoot 3s doesn’t he?

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 6:38 PM MST reply actions  

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?”

The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.

by clarkpojo on Dec 19, 2008 6:47 PM MST reply actions  

that

is not what I want to see, hilarious though it is.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 6:54 PM MST up reply actions  

Boler

has used the “just like his nickname, Rip” thing like eight times already.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 7:04 PM MST reply actions  

D-WILL

3-ball. 14 pts in the half. That’s my dog.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 7:04 PM MST reply actions  

D-WILL

otra vez.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 7:06 PM MST reply actions  

"again"

in Spanish.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 7:08 PM MST up reply actions  

Typing "again"

seems like it’d be faster than typing “otra vez”.

And another word with faster that has totally slipped my mind. Like this game did.

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 7:22 PM MST up reply actions  

so I'm pretentious

you got me. :)

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 7:24 PM MST up reply actions  

lol.

Doesn’t that only work if people know what you’re saying without asking you?

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 7:26 PM MST up reply actions  

um........

….. I am going to go with no.

actually, I’m not sure what we’re talking about any more.

Whatev. No more Spanish. No problemo.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 7:28 PM MST up reply actions  

.... wait.

never mind.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 7:28 PM MST up reply actions  

Crap.

Totally forgot there was a game today.
Got home after work (stupid snow), and went to bed for like 3 hours.
:(

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 7:23 PM MST reply actions  

I got online

and was looking on Yahoo! sports to see if they had an update on Booze’s MRI.

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 7:27 PM MST up reply actions  

Um

I’m pretty sure Booze is missing teeth on the Upper right side of his mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by DaniellelovesKK on Dec 19, 2008 7:28 PM MST reply actions  

D'oh.

That was not graceful.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 7:31 PM MST reply actions  

do you think

maybe he’s falling so as not to come down awkwardly on his ankle? he’d rather just fall all the way down than test his feet?

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 7:36 PM MST up reply actions  

If it is

that’s not good. He’s just going to get hurt falling…

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 7:36 PM MST up reply actions  

yeah, I'm not saying it's smart

I’m just wondering if that’s subconsciously what he’s doing.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 7:38 PM MST up reply actions  

D-Will

simply MUST become a better FT shooter. MUST.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 7:43 PM MST reply actions  

that goes for the entire team

seriously. they should be forced to take FTs in practice.

by moni on Dec 19, 2008 7:43 PM MST up reply actions  

was boozer demoted

to sitting behind the bench rather than on it?

by moni on Dec 19, 2008 7:43 PM MST reply actions  

yeah

they made a conscious decision to be physical with him.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 7:51 PM MST up reply actions  

we have the lead!

I’m sure we’ll lose it soon, but still!

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 7:56 PM MST reply actions  

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  

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.

Grammar is not a time of waste

by Patrick517 on Dec 19, 2008 8:05 PM MST up reply actions  

we're supposed to own the pistons

we are to them like the knicks are to us

by moni on Dec 19, 2008 8:06 PM MST up reply actions  

The Knicks

always seem to beat us on last-second shots from Starbury (okay, maybe that was just once, but still).

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:07 PM MST up reply actions  

Korver

I’m guessing the last game was an aberration?

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:01 PM MST reply actions  

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.

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:04 PM MST reply actions  

let's not forget

c- “off court distractions”

by moni on Dec 19, 2008 8:05 PM MST up reply actions  

Yeah

Forgot that.
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.

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:07 PM MST up reply actions  

related or unrrelated

sap is off his game tonite (and while i’m typing this he just dunked the ball)

by moni on Dec 19, 2008 8:08 PM MST up reply actions  

more Koufos and less Harpring

I approve of this equation.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:06 PM MST up reply actions  

In other news

Devin Harris goes for 41 and 13 against his old team, Dallas. This dude is pretty good.

by Vromanite on Dec 19, 2008 8:09 PM MST reply actions  

Agreed

Dallas got destroyed by the Nets at home. The Nets are horrible at home.

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:11 PM MST up reply actions  

Sheed

gets a T. For all his arguing and antics, I don’t think he deserves ALL the techs he gets.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:12 PM MST reply actions  

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  

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.

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:17 PM MST up reply actions  

agreed.

for all the crazy the jazz need a defensive presence and intensity that ron ron would bring

by moni on Dec 19, 2008 8:21 PM MST up reply actions  

Damn that Iverson.

Damn him.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:16 PM MST reply actions  

MEHMET

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:18 PM MST reply actions  

I am

at a complete loss as to how D-Will made that basket.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:19 PM MST reply actions  

To think

I almost picked up ’Sheed in the fantasy league.

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:19 PM MST reply actions  

I think

we all almost did.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:20 PM MST up reply actions  

Dang.

And now he makes a trey.

I would’ve actually picked him up, but I think someone else did because I couldn’t figure out who to drop.

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:21 PM MST up reply actions  

there was good reason i dropped him

good games are few and far between…or is it far and few between?

by moni on Dec 19, 2008 8:22 PM MST up reply actions  

Yeah.

I didn’t know that though… I don’t normally follow the Pistons. :)
Had to check on rotoworld to make sure he wasn’t injured or something.

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:24 PM MST up reply actions  

if ya got em

use em. Thanks Boler.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:20 PM MST reply actions  

FRICK

please do not lose this game.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:23 PM MST reply actions  

Good. CRAP.

what a shot.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:25 PM MST reply actions  

no

I have him.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:26 PM MST up reply actions  

Ah, yeah.

But if we are to them as the Knicks are to us, wouldn’t it have to be No Knees or someone making the final shot?

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:28 PM MST up reply actions  

no, it'd be someone previously on the knicks.

or is it the jazz? i’m not very good with analogies either.

by moni on Dec 19, 2008 8:29 PM MST up reply actions  

I mean

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.

I lie of course… that is one amazing golf cart.

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:30 PM MST up reply actions  

Ladies and gentlemen

please welcome back, at point guard, number 8, Deron Williams.

lol

you are on a roll tonight.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:39 PM MST up reply actions  

Alrighty

Who gets the last shot?

by Vromanite on Dec 19, 2008 8:40 PM MST reply actions  

one Deron Michael Williams

wait, that is his middle name, right?

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:41 PM MST up reply actions  

oh gosh

double OT. I am going to have a coronary here.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:40 PM MST reply actions  

sh*t...

I’m going home so I can watch it…

Grammar is not a time of waste

good news

5 each on stuckey and rip

by moni on Dec 19, 2008 8:43 PM MST reply actions  

good thing

their whole team is fouling out.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:47 PM MST reply actions  

MEMO

he’s going to that Karl-Malone-style move across the lane a lot more often.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:49 PM MST reply actions  

This is the 2nd game today to go to 2OT

the Clips beat the Pacers earlier, thanks to another huge game from Z-Bo (34-16).

Where did the nickname Z-Bo come from? Is Bo short for Randolph?

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:50 PM MST reply actions  

and now

McDyess is out too. We have NO excuse to lose.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:50 PM MST reply actions  

man...

i don’t know if i’ve ever seen four players on a team foul out before

by moni on Dec 19, 2008 8:52 PM MST reply actions  

All right Paulie

Make these, brother.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 8:54 PM MST reply actions  

I thank you, sir.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

You’re still not getting out of FT practice tomorrow.

YES

Boler

... oh.

Then, yes. It is safe.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

'Sap!

Way to end the night from the line!

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 8:59 PM MST reply actions  

yeah, D-Will!

getcha boogie on!

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

by Shums on Dec 19, 2008 9:01 PM MST up reply actions  

The Jazz are so lucky

that the Pistons lost 4 key guys to fouls in the OTs

by UtesFan89 on Dec 19, 2008 9:00 PM MST reply actions  

WTG JAZZ!!!

Oh and possibly, ta e’ll wit Boozer!

Time will tell.

by RRR on Dec 19, 2008 9:03 PM MST reply actions  

Great Game!

I love it when the Jazz win these close ones instead of losing them. And bytheway, I believe we are .500 on the road and have a win streak on the road. If we can only beat Chicago.

The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
