Miami Heat at Utah Jazz, Dec 3, 2008 7:00 PM MST
Sorry, not much of a preview tonight
Boozer's mates are in town.
Dwyane Wade will play tonight with a migraine. So please, be quiet.
Deron may or may not play. Hadn't heard as of 15 minutes ago.
See you in the comments.

Now it's changed to iffy.
Here’s the original headline,
Utah Jazz: Kirilenko, Boozer both still sidelined; Williams will play tonight

Another day, another game
fewer salary cap questions from me, I think (hope).
But kinda on the topic, The Cowhide Globe had a post up wondering about Kaman for Booze. What’re everyone’s thoughts here?
by UtesFan89 on Dec 3, 2008 6:52 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
kaman's contract is for how much and with how many years remaining?
by moni on Dec 3, 2008 6:54 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Through 2012
09-10: $10.4 mill
10-11: $11.3 mill
11-12: $12.2 mill
by UtesFan89 on Dec 3, 2008 6:57 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
If Booze gets the max
it’ll be above $13 million

i guess my answer would depend on
how optimistic/pessimistic i am feeling on a particular day about how kk2’s going to develop
but my gut instinct is to say yes
by moni on Dec 3, 2008 7:05 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
As I see it
if need be, Kaman & Okur can be the starting bigs, with ‘Sap off the bench. Or Okur off the bench with AK if he’d okay it.
by UtesFan89 on Dec 3, 2008 7:07 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
I dunno
just at a glance that trade fills me with “meh.” Kaman is injured right now too, you know.
"SHOCK THE WORLD!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
by Shums on Dec 3, 2008 7:06 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
compared to booze, kaman is limited offensively
but the image i have in my head of boozer “playing” D makes me want to say yes to this
by moni on Dec 3, 2008 7:09 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah.
I’m not sure. But the question becomes… is it better than losing Booze for nothing? Or max-ing Booze and losing Okur or AK or ’Sap?
by UtesFan89 on Dec 3, 2008 7:10 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
i am completely against maxing booze...
i’d rather let him walk
by moni on Dec 3, 2008 7:13 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
I think it's kinda funny
that he leads the team in blocks.

D-Will
I love to watch him shoot. It isn’t perfectly fundamental form somehow, but you just know it’s going in.

it’s ridiculous how he gets to the line.

okay
we’re getting a little too careless, and they’re starting to read our oop passes.
MAN we’re playing fast. I’ve never seen pace like this from a Jazz team.

Koof sighting
hopefully he’s as solid tonight as he was in Sacto. Minus the fouls.

trying too hard. This ain’t the D-League, man, you can’t just dribble penetrate whenever you feel like.

I would've picked up his option
no questions asked
by UtesFan89 on Dec 3, 2008 7:55 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
So they can just wipe those 2 or 3 seconds from the game and start the third period over?
Clock problems and they’re just going to back to 12:00 and start again. Deron was just dribbling up the court when they stopped the game.
by Basketball John on Dec 3, 2008 8:27 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
yeah, I was confused
I’m at work and can’t pay too close attention

That was a nasty block on D-Will

this is stupid sauce
Where is the energy from the first half? We were FLYING up and down the court. What happened?

Anyone else surprised to see Sam Mitchell canned?

I know
8-9 record, 8th in the East. Kinda surprising.

Plus
They’ve had injuries. He just got COY two years ago.
by Basketball John on Dec 3, 2008 8:50 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
He didn't even deserve it then.
And he shouldn’t have been re-upped after that.
He wasn’t that good… just read the Raptors blogs…
by UtesFan89 on Dec 3, 2008 8:52 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
not surprised
the Raps are underachieving. Smitch’s head has been on the chopping block since last season. Despite injuries, he’s not popular around Toronto town. Just watch the Jones for proof of that.

Paul Millsap
is making an EXTREMELY convincing case to get the big cheddar. You can’t teach that kind of emotion and commitment he plays with.

just got mugged. Got the call but it took serious damage before it came.
Does it seem to anyone else like this is Miami’s home court? Is that just me whining?

Good gravy
this is epidemic. We’re talking MJ-levels of bailout-age. Someone has to do something about the ease with which Wade gets to the line.

Mo Nuts
absolutely MUST hit those open 3s. That is supposed to be his specialty. I appreciate his effort, especially on the defensive end. He’s been playing with a lot of heart and energy. But we drafted him to take and make open 3-pointers. He has not done it.

What's with the long whistles?
It’s not just a quick one, it sounds like a cop directing traffic.

the Heat
are beating the CRAP out of us defensively. I mean really physically smacking us. I’m not sure how they’re getting away with reaching in so much. Even though we got the call there.

is it just me or does the reffing job rival some games we say in the playoffs

That's why Wade came back in.
Needs to get some calls.

well, it finally swung our way just now
until that call on Memo. Except that was dumb. You have to know if you’re going to show out on that high screen you can’t make that much contact.

Free throws the rest of the way
for both teams.

I dunno
I’m getting a “too little too late” feeling.
And Memo is playing like an idiot defensively. What the HELL are you doing reaching in on Chalmers 35 feet away from the basket?

What the hell Memo?
You just got called for that a minute ago.

Mehmet Okur
is single-handedly losing this game for us. Terrible shot, terrible defense, terrible fouls.

Deron Williams
Wow, that’s a hard pill to swallow but I thought they would lose before tip off. It was a back-to-back and they are playing a below par team.
Deron Williams got schooled by Chalmers. 6 TO’s! That is a joke. I am wondering if Williams needs to sit out another week to get 100%. It’s obvious he has lost a lot of explosion and it appears to mess with him mentally.
Granted Memo couldn’t hit his pecker with a handful of sand, but Williams wasn’t impressing me. If he keeps this type of play up he will for sure be watching the All-Star Game at home like the rest of us.
Frustrating to see Williams get stripped by Chalmers. Normally Chalmers couldn’t even hold Williams jock, but 6 TO’s are hard to see.

that stat may have been helped
substantially by the refs…
