EnergySolutions Arena

Complete Coverage >


Time to start the comeback.  And I'm not talking about a late-game, fourth quarter, double-digit overcoming type comeback.  I'm talking a series-changing, momentum busting, show them what Jazz basketball is all about type of comeback. 

It has to start from the opening tip.  We saw it in game 6 of the Houston series where the Jazz went all out for the entire game. 

  • Deron will start believing that he is the One.  He's got to realize about midway through the first whether or not the team has it.  If they don't, expect him to take over early.  He can take Fisher any time.  You remember the guy that couldn't guard anyone last year?  It's the same guy.  He's not getting any better.  Time for the student to kick his teacher's can.
  • Everyone's down on Booze.  And rightfully so.  We all know what he's capable of though.  You don't just lose that skill.  If he can get a couple of quick layups early, watch out.
  • Fisher and supporting cast can't shoot any better than they did in game 2.
  • Like I said in the recap of game 2, Brewer actually played Kobe pretty good.  Bryant just hit some incredible shots.  Those aren't going to fall again.  He should be in the twenties though.
  • If we can get an influx of trolls, now you know why.  My reply would be,

    4-1_medium

Win and this is a series.  Lose and the players will start making vacation plans, again.

Boos

I didn’t really hear any extra boos for Fischer. Did any of you?

3-seconds

There was Pau’s first violation of the night.

Yay

I know. I was yelling so loud. I just love that KK.

And I’m so glad you guys got on here. I need to talk to someone about this game.

No Knees on Kobe?

Brilliant strategy there, J-Slo.

I have already said quite a few naughty words tonight. Most of them were directed at Matt.

KK was wide open.

So, off-topic...

what do you guys make of the rumor that the Nuggs will listen to offers for Hit-N-Run?

The Utah Jazz

by UtesFan89 on May 9, 2008 8:22 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not sure.

For what it’s worth (and yes, it’s early) I’ve also read that they’re looking at Ty Lawson in the draft. If that works out, no need for a PG.

Question is… what would people give up for him? Especially with the recent news surrounding him?

The Utah Jazz
A disillusioned Pirates fan in Utah...

by UtesFan89 on May 9, 2008 8:27 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't think I want them to trade him.

They’d become a much better team without him and having a true PG. But AI isn’t getting any younger either.

by Basketball John on May 9, 2008 8:28 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Agreed.

And the Blazers will be good.
And if the Sonics don’t blow their 4-million draft picks…
The Nuggs.
The Jazz.
The T-Wolves should be better.

Could be a very competitive division.

Not fun. Why can’t they have Chuck on during halftime. He’s funny.

by DaniellelovesKK on May 9, 2008 8:34 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well

Given his recent trouble with the law….
IDK though, the 1-2 punch of him and AI is pretty much the only thing the Nuggs have going for them. And, how many years does AI really have left?

One time

my cousin snuck down to the court during halftime and took a pic sitting in Phil’s special chair.

by DaniellelovesKK on May 9, 2008 8:54 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Tell me why

We don’t see Millsap come in instead of Harpring?

by Basketball John on May 9, 2008 8:56 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Because

Jerry has a special affinity with Matt.

Fish is a Laker

Booze is a Jazzster.

Farmar is a Laker

Price is a Jazzster.

It obviously wasn’t a foul on Price, so it was a no call.

That's 10 damn seconds in the lane

Choking reference

too obvious and probably not appropriate for the board.

Can I still use my picture review though?

All I can do is, as stated above, hide it below the “more” thing and tell people to imagine.

You know it's the playoffs

Because B&B can only score Harp for their post-game interview.

by Basketball John on May 9, 2008 9:56 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He only had 5 points and 3 fouls.

Harp had 12 and 4.
12 points > 5 points.
And 4 fouls suggest more attempted defense than 3.

He was the Subway Sub of the Game

because the Sub of the Game doesn’t have to play defense. You just have to score the most points off of the bench.

I'd love to see Cuban coach the team

that’d show the refs for being so obviously biased.

Barkley is amazing.

Hated him as a player (because he was always on the wrong teams).
But he’s funny now.
Especially the Wade/Barkley commercials.
And now this.

Have you ever heard him gush over Sloan?

He loves the guy. He stated that he wanted to sign here as a FA, but we had some other PF at the time.

HAHA

But, Pace is just sooooo ugly. And he has the worst teeth, and that bugs me more than anything.

by DaniellelovesKK on May 9, 2008 10:01 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He'd be more annoying

if he had no teeth though.

I can’t even concentrate on what he’s saying. Cause his teeth are so jacked up.

you wouldn’t understand him at all.

What about a donkey instead of Pace?

He could sit in between Thurl and DJ and they would treat him like a normal analyst. You can’t tell me that would be a million times better than Pace

I don't have a problem either...

unless I’m watching a basketball game. Or following my Pirates. Or totally bored at work… accidentally shooting myself with rubber bands. Or if I’m sick of the people around me. Or… yeah, the list doesn’t end.

about the Bucs.

at least there was no foul called on Brewer…
or tech for the way he reacted (though Sloan did pick one up).
