"I gotta feeling, that tonight's gonna be a good."
Is that the right one? Is BEP the only band that exists to write songs for NBA themes and commercials?
Sorry for putting that song in your head.
Let's start out above .500 on the road!

BBJ
I think I remember talk about putting up a running wins-losses report on the Knicks somewhere on the page. I will be as excited to watch the Knicks this year as the Jazz.
Great idea.
Are we in danger of jinxing things though? Or do I just mention them as fact without comment?

I have a bet going with Kevin Ferguson of KFAN, about how bad the Knicks will be this season.
If I am right, he owes me a pastrami burger from crown burger.

how's everyone looking so far in the Dunk fantasy league?
I’m very disappointed in a couple of early performances.
Also, I feel bad that I forgot to double-check that BBJ was in. Sorry mate.

Hey ya'll.

He's a professional athlete. No charges were filed I guess.

Wait, he got off easier than Dante Stallworth?
I didn’t think that was possible…

Brook Lopez is pretty good.
But he is a deer in the headlights to finish the game. Just made the weakest move to try to take the lead and got blocked by Al Jefferson.

On the plus side
his 5 blocks help me to offset the benching of Kendrick Perkins

Denver will take Boozer guarding Melo one on one all night long.

I love it when Boozer settles for elbow jumpers.

Early, but
they’re 5-8 from the field, and we have 3 fouls.

I don't care if we lose every game this season.

Memo is out?

It won't be serious. I bet he only misses this game.

If Okur only misses this game...
then this may be another blessing in disguise. Fesenko is playing with passion.

Weird lineup changes.
For all you Sloan doubters, he has abandoned his substitution patterns.
Kirilenko thinks he is Ray Allen.

I didn't think Memo could be any slower, but clearly, I was wrong.

The NBA suspended J.R. Smith for seven games, a result of Smith’s guilty plea this summer to reckless driving during a 2007 auto accident that killed his friend, Andre Bell.

Wow.
I think you were low on your estimation for Melo FTs, Clark.

That foul on Brewer was an unbelievable call.
Melo’s star treatment is the only reason the Nuggets aren’t getting blown out.

Good to see that stars get the preferential treatment now that the old refs are back.

I read them.
very, very interesting. Basically, NBA refs are just like your usual dudes, making stupid bets and trying to have fun at work. Except that when they goof around they affect millions of fans and billions of dollars’ worth invested in players and teams.

first game as a jazz fan
Go Maynor (whenver he gets in)
Go Jazz (still a grizzlies fan tho too)
Welcome.
You will love watching the Jazz play.
And we are big fans of maynor. at least I am.
Do you live in Virginia?

no im from his hometown, Raeford, NC. We grew up together. Played on the same high school team as his older brother. Dads played on the same team in high school as well
awesome
Welcome aboard. We’re big fans of E3. (By the way, is there a nickname you guys have for him?)

even on his hurt leg.
Also check his awful hook shot he supposedly worked on.

we are getting hosed. Paul Millsap will NEVER, EVER, EVER get the benefit of the doubt from refs. EVER. Get ready for another season of that.

I haven’t been as down on him as most Jazz fans, but… wow. He’s really playing awful tonight.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
he's not using his strengths
everyone talks about how strong he is and how he’s a beast in the paint, but he never goes in there. he just jacks up those midrange j’s while bobbling the ball whenever he touches it
Forgive me in advance
Jazz have been rejected 4 times so far.
If Koufos was playing, it’d be at least 3 times that…
