Well, we already have two wins in a row.
Does that count as a streak?
by Basketball John on Nov 21, 2009 6:53 PM MST up reply actions
now that I have boarded the Boozer love train
I need someone/thing new to hate.
I hate the NJ Nets for being the reason NY Knicks are not at the very bottom of the barrel.
Maybe we should trade Carlos to NJ just so they finish better than the Knicks.

Curious... why does everyone think that is?
1- Is it too early (it’s only 7 PM)?
2- Do people not have the money (or they’re saving it)?
3- People are sick of the team, even on a winning streak?
4- They were at the Utes or BYU game?
5- Boozer’s summer? Sloan (I’m sensing more negative feelings towards him this season than ever before)?
6- The overwhelming feeling that the Jazz aren’t going to win it all this year no matter what?

lowest attendance always happens during the first month of the season. plus i think people are sick of the team. it will take a substantial win streak to get people in to it this year i think.

To be honest, there is a level of disinterest in this team, even for me.
I realized the other night, that I don’t like to watch some of the Jazz guys play. and by some of the guys, I mean one. It’s not entertaining.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I'm guessing the opponent is a factor as well.
by Basketball John on Nov 21, 2009 7:19 PM MST up reply actions
if i was in slc
one of the first games i’d get tickets for is against the pistons, because traditionally (fact) we get good wins against them thanks to memo.
I'm fine with it
because I’m not facing him in fantasy.
That said… it has to be a Michael Redd-type game (remember that? He gets 50… or close… Jazz win).

Is that freezing often for everyone else too?
Or just me?

Um...
I suggest the Jazz try to get a couple of rebounds every now and then…

Damn, I have both sets of those tickets..
And I can now get them for $38. I’m glad I like my seats.. :)
I think I have Eric Maynor's nickname..
Everytime I see him do something good I just exclaim Eric “F**king” Maynor! :)
if only booner could say that on tv...
would be the most hysterical thing ever
by bigdog'sshades on Nov 21, 2009 7:41 PM MST up reply actions
i think the closest we'll get to that
is hearing david james accidentally refer to boler/booner as boner
The good thing about the nickname is that when he forgets to shoot..
..and tries to dump it off to a tall white center, I can use the same exclamation.
hot rod..
would just show up drunk and probably slip it in there. the other day, i was watching an old lakers game that he was commentating back in the day. reminded me just how good he was though.

No shooters out there now.

Well, AK & E3 think they can shoot well

Glad to see he took it easy on the rim.

What happens first (from here on out)?
1- The KOOF goes bald.
2- The KOOF gets 30 minutes in a game.
3- The KOOF gets a double-double.

Needs some work around the HOOP. Where are his hops?

He needs work finishing around the hoop

Are the Jazz the best inbounding team in the league?

You know, if we could
find a shooter to play alongside him (CJ? Matthews?), resigning him would be a no brainer..

I saw someone a couple seasons ago had the missionaries right by the Jazz bench
They probably had to be sent home after the game.

I've seen little kids sitting by the Jazz bench as well
Must be great to have your kids ask what F#$%#$ Son of a B#$%#$ means.

It looks like it's filled in some though since the game started.

if we even want to pretend like we're a force in the west this year...
this is a game we put away in the second half and give the big guns some rest. doubt it will happen though.
We cannot defend the pick and roll at all.
by Basketball John on Nov 21, 2009 8:08 PM MST reply actions
Based on stats that came out recently
we don’t run it all that often either.
Wonder if there’s a correlation…

Mentioned it in passing over at TBJ
but, esp. with the injury to Rip, Gordon + CV31 over Booze is a no brainer. 2 guys are better than 1, and they need a wing w/ the injuries to Rip/Tayshaun

I was worried about this game. Could be an emotional letdown game.
They are close enough that they can still take control though.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I think that's the "problem" with watching the team this year...
Until they win like 5, 6, 7 games straight it always feels that way.
Somone tell Memo to take an AD
And come suit up. We need a shooter.
by Basketball John on Nov 21, 2009 8:26 PM MST reply actions
Hopefully they headed over the the practice facility at the half
And practice running offense against a zone.
by Basketball John on Nov 21, 2009 8:27 PM MST reply actions
Zone...
You practice against it if you run it.
The Jazz don’t run.

He's off tonight.
He just missed those two FTs
by Basketball John on Nov 21, 2009 8:28 PM MST up reply actions
Man, these refs are missing stuff tonight.
First the missed shot clock violation and now a missed goal tending

There we go Deron
Let’s hope he gets going.

Booze Defense
Perfect example of why I hate Boozer. His defense at the 9:57 mark on the screen and roll. D-Will came down from the top of the key and got there before Booze, who jumped high on the screen. My high school coach is fuming out his ears if he saw that.
There's really no reason to have Fes in there right now...
He matches up with nobody since BWallace isn’t getting the ball inside. Let’s get ’Sap in there. Or Memo.
Woah. Piston Memo looked weird.
His shot looked completely different too.

Please let that be the ninja coming out.
by Basketball John on Nov 21, 2009 8:40 PM MST reply actions
Like it was mentioned above
With Wallace in, he doesn’t really need to be there.
by Basketball John on Nov 21, 2009 8:46 PM MST up reply actions
Has Brewer ever controlled one of those steals
And dribbled like a normal human? He always looks like he slaps at it even before one of his sick dunks.
Dang
I was hoping that was a TO by Sloan to chew the team out.

Are you kidding me?
Are there weights in their shoes? How come nobody can put those layups in?

When I lived in Nephi
we were right next to a vet clinic.
Is that why I can’t make lay-ups either?

i can totally understand why the ESA is empty
i just can’t get fully behind this team, no matter how much i want to
So Booze is no longer doing AND-1s?
Now he’s doing the “calf tie” as Boler would say.

Deron and Maynor
Let’s see how this goes.

I could see that coming
Play D for 23 seconds and give up the long three

this lineup works
against everyone except LA. can’t think of any other lineup that it wouldn’t be good against.
Boozer in, we're up two
Let’s see how this goes.

locke: "The jazz defense has gotten a lot better"
you know why? bc boozer wasn’t playing. on cue, boozer checks in.
Locke
is horrible. One of the games I was listening to this was almost verbatim the commentary:
“A three. Rebound. Kick out. Three ball. Rebound Boozer.” Don’t know who was shooting or rebounding the other attempts, but something was going on.
I was driving with my wife the other night listening, and she said “What high school game is on?” I told her it was the new Jazz play-by-play and she said “Wow, he sucks!” My sentiments too.
Refs are the worst I've seen.
And I haven’t said anything about refs this year.
by Basketball John on Nov 21, 2009 9:10 PM MST reply actions
If you have read anything that Dohnague wrote....
well then such is why you just bite off your tongue..
I've got two going now.......
Also grabbing and securing the noose, I gave up on seat-belts….. Found them an ineffective cure..
I hate to be one to second guess (lie)...
But why don’t we run Carlos on the P&R at least ’til he misses…?
So the refs call fouls on stuff that isn't there
And then don’t call obvious fouls?

they denied the Donaghy allegat… oh, wait…

One ref was ready to call the charge.
You know, the one who could see if he was in the circle

i've heard a lot of complaints about the refs
no functional live feed for us out-of-towners tonight…out of curiousity who’s reffing? violet palmer? steve javy? the usual suspects?
Curious to know what happened on the last play
You can’t tell me Millsap 18 footer was the designed play
DWill dribbled down to like 7 sec..
Pick and roll with Carlos – they doubled DW and Millsap ended up open… was sort of a half fadeaway jumper. Back iron.. no rebound.
thanks
a rather anonymous trio…newbies involved?
by bigdog'sshades on Nov 21, 2009 9:35 PM MST up reply actions
Millsap is getting some calls?
What in the sam hill is going on here?

We need to attack the rim. They could get in the penalty in two fouls.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Man
I might have to stop following Locke on Twitter.
All we ever get is Booze updates when he’s playing well, or “’Sap is just as bad” when Booze isn’t playing well…

will someone please elaborate on...
:10.9 UTA – R. Brewer steals the ball from W. Bynum
My GameCast worked ok. ESPN?
Weird, I couldn’t keep the thread up to save my life, but GC was solid.
next 7 games look winable
a 10 game win streak just might rekindle my love for the jazz
Now, Bigdog, let's not get ahead of ourselves. We wouldn't want the boys to think that way either. smiley face.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Always seems to miss a few updates, then at the end it plugs them all in.
Made my heart skip a beat when they put time back on the clock. Thought it might be a ref thing.
