No
I’d trade Booze, shift Okur to the 4, and start Fesenko.
Unless we could run with Okur somehow… then I’d start AK at the 4.

Can I show some, you know... balls
(unlike Slow) and bench Booze?
Or does he have to start?

Though I'll give it to Booze
he’s played better as of late.

Yikes...
@tribjazz: EnergySolutions Arena’s as empty as I’ve seen it. Jazz have drawn better in snowstorms than tonight.

Booze
getting a bunch of lay-ups early.
Does Bosh play D like Booze?

So the only differences between Bosh & Booze...
one of them spent all summer talking to various radio stations in random cities, while the other is on Twitter.

And almost every Jazz fan this offseason was begging the Jazz to trade Boozer for Bosh.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Well, the 1 advantage
is Bosh hasn’t come out and said “I’m leaving”. Even if he is.

I'd still love to see it
Booze may be having the better game today, doesn’t mean he’s the better player….
The problem is
Bosh is just like Booze on the court. No D, blah blah blah…

Bosh is similar to Booze
in that respect, but I still think he’s the better player.
There aren’t many PFs in the league better than Bosh that aren’t on the downside of their career…
boozer could be one of the best players in the league if he wanted to
i’m serious. he’s more ambidexterous than probably anyone and he has great footwork.
unfortunately, it’s a matter of heart.
How long is your list of best players in the league?
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Haven't heard anything yet.
I’m sure if something’s up Rotoworld will update though…

Fixed...
nice to see koof finishing around the rim (and Fesenko)

I love Locke's tweets. So predictable.
“Jazz lead it 40-27. Boozer dominated 1st Quarter with 12. Fesenko played well. Lead was 18”
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Hey, if I could get 8 lay-up attempts
I’d dominate too. Especially against a guy that doesn’t play D.
And I’d have more than 12 points on 8 lay-ups.

Loved...
watching Deron play the two for that little spurt. Even though Maynor took 2 shots that looked like something Bolerjack would have thrown up there, it was really enjoyable watching what a dominate 2 would be like in Sloan’s system.

Question...
Are there more people here than at the arena?

Gotta think...
it’s more of the economy than the slow start. I mean they were selling tix for 1/2 price as of this afternoon.

Speaking of Double-Double's....
I believe In ’N Out Burger in Orem opened tonight. I know for sure it will be open tomorrow.

There's one opening in West Jordan in the near future

I think
the one in AF just off I-15 is close to being done as well.

dang
you guys may be able to watch the jazz on fsn utah, but at least i had three in ‘n outs within 5 miles and you didn’t. can’t say that anymore…

Utah fans are frontrunners
This applies to Utah and BYU as well.

I'm a Ute fan too
We’re frontrunners, though it looked like they had a nice crowd for the basketball game tonight.
by Brigadier Pudding on Nov 18, 2009 7:59 PM MST up reply actions
he should always be 3-shy
he seriously gets hot from behind the line 3 times per year and it seems to make him think he has that kind of range consistently.

Koof
is having some trouble with Bosh. He just abused him.
8 Hours To Kill is now on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/8hourstokill
That is the biggest deficiency in Boozer's offensive game. He doesn't get to the line hardly at all.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Another reason why I like Bosh
He may not be the best defensively, but if your man keeps fouling you, it can make a huge difference
Actually, Bosh is taking advantage of his matchup just for tonight.
He is not among the leaders in shots at the rim or shooting free throws. He doesn’t shoot this many free throws usually. But he is having a fantastic season thus far.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Booze
so much for dominating, eh Locke? 2 points in the 2nd quarter.

i think every shot taken this half
Was taken with +14 seconds on the shot clock. Applies to both teams. Not sure that’s the kind of game we should be playing.
by Juan B on Nov 18, 2009 8:29 PM MST via mobile reply actions
We definitely should be.
When we have good jump-shooters on the floor.

Also correlated
to Bosh coming back in. 9-3 Raps run since then.

Its a team thing. When they get tight and the game gets close, the movement slows down.
And almost everyone starts taking jumpshots. But Boozer’s fadeaway 20 footers are especially disheartening.

2 Observations
1. Probably a good idea to play transition defense / get defensive rebounds.
2. Sloan should assign someone to guard Belinelli.
by Juan B on Nov 18, 2009 8:49 PM MST via mobile reply actions
the bright side
At least we didn’t have a big 4th Q lead to piss away!
by Juan B on Nov 18, 2009 8:53 PM MST via mobile reply actions
Drills...
d-rebounding, lay-ups, FTs… we need it all.
I thought slow demanded the basics. For all that… we suck.

Even with Maynor's improved play, Deron is going to play 42 minutes tonight.
I wish we could find some ways to get him some rest.
Not super important, but Maynor’s play is also going to hurt Deron’s numbers. I would rather win, but Deron needs the stats to get in the all-star game.

Eric Maynor for ROY
Well, not really, but it’s unbelievable how good he’s been the last three games.
I've been out...
What happened in the 2nd and 4th?
by Basketball John on Nov 18, 2009 9:16 PM MST reply actions
Millsap played and stayed in front of Bosh and the Raptors missed some 3s.
Oh and Maynor was fantastic down the stretch again.

Thanks
I’m just starting to watch my recording. I thought for sure we were on our way to 125 points tonight.
by Basketball John on Nov 18, 2009 9:21 PM MST up reply actions
Pluses – win, held top offensive team to 91 points, maynor (just going on stats)
Minuses – Seems like it was a lot closer than it should have been given Tor is on the last game of a roady and they’re terrible defensively.
by Basketball John on Nov 18, 2009 9:20 PM MST reply actions
The team defense has been much better the last several games. Basically since the Boston game.
I am going to throw this out there. I think Maynor and Williams are our starting backcourt when we enter the playoffs.
You heard it hear first.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
That would be sweet.
I mentioned it on twitter, but with Deron/E3/Matthews + Korver/CJ soon, Brewer is really quickly becoming an afterthought…

You all know how much I love Brewer. But even I admit, that the wait and see approach with him is the best.
Besides, I am still holding out for a Boozer + Brewer for Kevin Martin + Mikki Moore trade.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Yep. Even if we stand pat, we will be the 7th or 8th seed.
