The Downbeat - 19 November 2009 - #104 - The Ukrainian Thief Edition

 

1_medium  Fesenko's steal in the first quarter of last night's game could be the greatest thing I have ever seen.  In case you didn't see it, he was guarding Bosh out near the three-point line and anticipated the pass coming to Bosh.

With the most elegant clumsiness you could imagine, he tipped the ball away, tipped the ball back to himself as he was running by, and drove the length of the floor for a three-step layup.

Fantastic.

2_medium  Thanks for the submissions on the poll yesterday.  Got some great responses.  I'll be putting them up later.

8_medium  San Antonio has been hurting and have only a 4-5 record, just percentage points behind the Jazz right now.  They do this every year though.  They start out slow, everyone says they're finally done, and then the end up as the 2 or 3 seed.  They'll be there at the end.

It will be nice then to beat them early in the season when they're down.  We play them again on the 7th of December and then again in January.  Hopefully we'll be able to take 3 from them.

4_medium  So what do you think about Iverson heading to the Knicks?  Does he help them get some wins or does he turn things into an even bigger disaster?

5_medium The poll week goes on.  Simple question today.  How many wins will we get against SA this year?  We have the one already.

After spending all that time in Philly, Denver and Detroit, hopefully AI prefers the warmth of Miami.

How many wins do we get against SA this year?

The 1 you already got. :P
But seriously, good luck to you guys. I wouldn’t wish the injuries our teams have had the last 2 seasons on anyone.

The Spurs - now playing defense again! ...but only against Dallas.

Well said. And don't take it personally that we desperately want to win in San Antonio.

Its a particular demon that this franchise needs to exorcise.

1- Sloan called out his conditioning again. You can look at it as just putting the big guy down, but I think Sloan only gives constructive criticism to those he wants to see succeed. Jerry isn’t stupid. He knows he needs Fes to get better and be the defensive center we need if we are going to challenge for a title the next few years. Hopefully Fes responds.

8- It’s a confidence/ mental thing. San Antonio hasn’t been the better team everytime we have played them in SA the last 10 years. The Jazz just need to clear their minds and go and play. I like their body language and what they have said about the game so far. Now it’s time to just make it happen.

4- I think Iverson would make them a little bit better, because Chris Duhon has been so abysmal. But if you have seen the Knicks play, and I have watched almost all of their games, they are historically bad at defense. Having Nate Robinson back will help too, but the worst team in the NBA only has a 25% chance of getting the #1 pick. Even the 4th worst team has a 14% chance of the top pick. We just need the Knicks to be a bottom 4 team. Which right now, they are.

5- I really believe we will win tonight. But I think SA gets their swagger back and wins the next two.

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

Your first one or your second one?

I’ve got one talking about Malone and one talking about AK.

Please disregard my answer too.

I misunderstood the directions and thought it was supposed to be a private confessional. I told you years of personal and private information, as well as the location of two of my life savings. Please disregard.

And why did Jake1ar need to tell you it was his password and to disregard it? We all would have just thought he was willing to sacrifice a “TomCruisefantasy” for a Jazz championship. That’s your password, right Jake?

While you're in Provo

Don’t forget to pay tithing on that. :)

I don’t mean to offend anyone. I’m just trying to make a joke…..
