I'm so hyped. Also about to enjoy myself some Carolina Panthers football.

Does Boozer go off again?

Not unless he plans on hitting lots of jumpers, becuase he doesn't challenge Duncan historically.

Matthews is a really poor ball handler. Unless he is shooting, he doesn't know what to do with the ball yet.

Fes
I have to agree with Sloan, Fes could be great with a little more conditioning…Maybe more playing time would help.

Two early fouls on Hill is going to be huge. He is their only true point guard.

If only
Jerry saw the KOOF as we did…

Maybe he does
And he’s holding him back on purpose

I have a question.
I’m a Wolves fan and I’m wondering why Matthews is starting over Kirilenko. Can anyone tell me?
Basically, because AK doesn't mind coming off the bench and Matthews is a good outside shooter.
Coach Sloan also mentioned that he likes giving Matthews time with the veterans.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
why has Ginobli always come off the bench
when he’s SA’s second best player and (in his prime) the 2nd best shooting guard in the league?
Because teams often do better with good players on the bench, rather than scrubs.
That way
when teams are killing us early, we can bring in some D

We play timid offense against the Spurs. We should be leading by about 6 right now.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Those are fouls that are inexcusable for Millsap.
Gets him into foul trouble and gives the Spurs 2 free throws when they are 30 feet away from the basket and not going to score.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
sap
has been playing with his head in the game like one out of every three or four games this season
But the Jazz still don't run anything for him after all these years. He is playing hard tonight.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Ugly shot by Maynor, but he has learned. At least he took the shot at the end of the shot clock.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
like the end of quarter shots by all our backups
(hart, knight, ronnie p, and now maynor) it does not go in…
Hey guys
Just now checking in. I see that the Jazz are leading, yet most of the comments here are negative. Explain.

We are playing right into the Spurs' hands for one. Settling for jumpers. And making ticky tack, stupid fouls.
We just barely took the lead, but we need to play better and attack the rim if we are going to win.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
And I don't think the sense of impending doom in San Antonio is helping at all. Smiley Face.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Did you see Boozer act like he was going to jump and challenge Bonner's shot?
That was funny. No challenge at all.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Foul on Maynor?
are you kidding me?

Anyone actually use the TV companion on utahjazz.com?
"We got to change something bc what we doing ain't working right now!" - DWill
I had it on last night
But did not make any comments….
Well I think that is what it was, some sorta interactive chat thing.
Good foul by Maynor. Sheesh. Blair's free throws. Woof.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
AK to Sap
great movement
"We got to change something bc what we doing ain't working right now!" - DWill
I guess rolling over on the ground with the ball isn't a travel anymore.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Don't encourage LeBron.....
"We got to change something bc what we doing ain't working right now!" - DWill
lbj doesn't need to do the worm crawl
whichever opposing player that is closest to him would be called for the foul
No mention by Locke about Millsap's play thus far, like how is he is dominating.
He has mentioned that AK is beasting it on the boards.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
the only time he mentions sap
is when boozer and sap both have a bad game and he’ll say boozer didn’t play great but sap was horrible too
lol @ Boozer's reaction to the foul
“Isn’t that how you play defense!?”
"We got to change something bc what we doing ain't working right now!" - DWill
That was a sweet close by Fes on that three pointer. And then he fouled again.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
We need to see some more of Maynor and Williams in the backcourt.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Wow
Booze just got flat-out rejected at the rim.
"We got to change something bc what we doing ain't working right now!" - DWill
The refs are just imagining fouls out there on Fesenko.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Four for 5 on threes tonight. Just a statement of fact.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I am quickly growing tired of Boozer's fadeaway jumpers this game.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Rather see a set open midrange jumper than a fadeaway.
But generally, yes, you are right.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Jerry's sub patterns
are going to kill me one day.

I am surprised that Sloan sat Williams for so long, if at all.
He has only played 26 minutes.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I understand and not being able to put away the raptors early is a problem.
But we aren’t playing tomorrow and we need him to play. He can’t go 40 minutes even if he plays the whole 4th.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I'm not faulting Sloan for giving him rest, but he should have come back sooner.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Matthews has been irrelevant tonight offensively.
And that fan yelling “Boozer..Loser” is cracking me up.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Maynor and Williams should play the whole 4th quarter together.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I love the fans who are calling out Millsap for not playing as hard now that he got a bigger contract.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
You can't just look at the boxscore though.
I think he has only had two, maybe three bad games. He still gets everything he gets off hustle. We don’t run things through him. And all of his play at the three has taken away offensive posessions from him.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
i'm not saying the inconsistency is all his fault
like you said, getting PT at a different position (not his natural position) has a lot to do with it.
Not so much not playing hard...
but not playing as well (in limited minutes, admitted).

This is killing me to not watch this game
Having to “watch” on game cast.

Same.
Esp. b/c I have to use gamecast (ugh. ESPN) and not Yahoo!

yahoo working for me...
sometimes have to refresh, but it’s working right now
i vastly prefer yahoo gamechannel to espn gamecast
I did too
but when it stuck to 20-19 for 25+ minutes (after half-time), I gave up.

Gamecast on the blackberry.

I am not feeling good about this one. Reminds me of two years ago when we lead the whole game and then crumbled at the end.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I hope so. But Boozer has just missed two open layups.
How do I put it…unclutch?
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
And I want Maynor in for Brewer. As much as I love Brewer, Deron needs to shoot a couple threes.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Dear god Boozer
make the easy freaking layup.

He has been fantastic the last couple of games, but don't you dare call him a "go-to" player.
That is what the Jazz are desperately missing.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
So would Corey Maggette. I am still on his bandwagon.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Even if he was
He’s out for about 2 months.
"We got to change something bc what we doing ain't working right now!" - DWill
Perfect timing. Gives Carlos some more time to look good and then we trade them for a huge end of the season push.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
That'd be nice
but I don’t think Sac would trade their franchise cornerstone for a couple months of Booze.
"We got to change something bc what we doing ain't working right now!" - DWill
Throw in Brewer too.
But more importantly, if Evans keeps playing like he is and he can’t mesh with Martin, then they will try to move Martin, I am guessing.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Are you kidding me? Go look at his shooting percentage and realize he creates his own shot.
And he plays on the perimeter, but he was third in the league last season in free throws per minutes played. As a shooting guard. There are things you can knock about Kevin Martin’s game, but his ability to carry an offense isn’t one of them.
If he had someone to create open threes for him, I bet he would shoot about 50% from threes alone.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Yes, he does.
But he’s hurt too often to count on as a “go-to” guy for a whole season

That is still a stupid shot. Even if it did go in.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
For every good play Booze makes
he then makes an incredibly horrible one.
"We got to change something bc what we doing ain't working right now!" - DWill
Duncan just got away with a huge holding on that screen of AK. Why is Brewer shooting?
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Dear Jerry Sloan,
Please do not use the clutch performer who has closed the last three games in fantastic fashion. Thank you.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
That heckler is cracking me up. Can you guys hear him?
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I was just about to comment on that
I love how he still chanted “Booooozer, looooser” even after he makes a shot.
"We got to change something bc what we doing ain't working right now!" - DWill
is that an SLCDunk person at the game?
by Basketball John on Nov 19, 2009 8:51 PM MST up reply actions
I mean as in, props, not the ball necessarily.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
"Give it up for an all-around shooter"
“#5, Carlos Boozer”

I think we will settle for a fadeaway McDyess jumper.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
That is THREE illegal screens by Matt Bonner this game alone. We should send him a thank you gift.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.

I take back every question I had about Sloan's 4th quarter lineup.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
love to pile on the hate toward Booze but
We don’t win that game w/out him.
2:18 Brewer takes long jumper 16 seconds into shot clock (really?)
Next possession, we’re up only 2, Andrei takes long 3 17 seconds into shot clock (really?)
Booze gets a key offensive board, makes a bucket, then has an “and-1!”
by Juan B on Nov 19, 2009 8:59 PM MST via mobile reply actions
i think we can't win without him
(Just trying a little anti-trade-jinx to see if it’ll work)
by Juan B on Nov 19, 2009 9:01 PM MST via mobile up reply actions
Call in and ask him who kept us in the game so that his 4th quarter performance could matter.
But yes, a huge game for the Boozer.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
He should really be our Subway sub of the game.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
by the way
Why does Andrei keep thinking it’s a good idea to throw up the 3ball early in the shot clock late in the game.
? Seriously, I want to know.
by Juan B on Nov 19, 2009 9:05 PM MST via mobile reply actions
Deron with 21 and 10 is the equivalent of 32 and 14 against almost any other team. So few possessions.
Jazz also with a season low 9 turnovers.
