Portland Trail Blazers at Utah Jazz, Nov 28, 2009 7:00 PM MST
I am on the road tonight so I apologize for no preview.
What Jazz team will we see tonight? Portland struggled with Charlotte Memphis last night.
Let's hope the Jazz keep up the good passing.

Portland struggled with Memphis last night (not Charlotte)
and they didn’t struggle either. They got their asses handed to ’em on a plate. Hopefully the PTB will revert back to being a quality team and woop Utah like they should.
Good luck Jazz.
Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff.
I'm kind of half-watching the game right now.
It seems like our guys are off to a good start.

77% shooting
Not bad.

I'm at work, but I have it on gamecast.
After the disappointing game against Memphis last night, it is funny how pessimistic both of the fanbases of these teams has become. But with some good reason, because both of these teams have looked like world beaters and then lottery teams the next night. They are both sort of in similar positions, except that the Jazz have the Carlos Boozer/ Paul Millsap thing while the Blazers have Miller and Blake being debated about.
For the Jazz, the Millsap/ Boozer thing isn’t an issue right now, but could be at some time.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
it's arguable which team is deeper
and the teams are both very young, but i expect more from the jazz because the core has been together for so long.
Its about time, Deron started dialing up the assists.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
And as far as Carlos Boozer goes, I have softened my stance a little.
And I figured out what player he is like and that is Lamar Odom. When Odom was called upon to be a top 2 guy for the Lakers, he could only do it on occasion and it drove the Laker fans wild. He showed glimpses of greatness and then played inconsistently and drove Laker fans mad. So I am fine with having Carlos Boozer on the team as long as the team doesn’t try to make him a “go to guy” or even a 2nd option.
Add a go to scorer to the team with Boozer and Williams and you may be onto something. Anyways, I just think Boozer and Odom are really alike. Good players who need to be surrounded by two better players to succeed.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
We just need to find a Pau Gasol.
Or really just a shooting guard who can score 15-20 points a night on his own.

I have to admit. I am really surprised by this start tonight.

You are wodering, what the blazes is going on?
Yeah, thunderstruck was fine.

for those who care...
adthe.net is working again
Its a placebo. But if the player thinks it will work, then it will.
Just like Ritalin and Viagra.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Viagra
is actually a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, therefore preserving the cyclic GMP produced by the nitric oxide stimulus, which relaxes the smooth muscle and facilitates the erection. sorry, i have a test on this stuff in a couple weeks.

Glad Boozer is trying to send a message.
Don’t come in his house.

Is he playing well, or poorly? Cuz the Bobcats are playing great as a team.

I love how
(on Siler/Luhm’s blog) they mention that the Jazz are worried about the “height” of the Blazers (Oden, LMA, Przybilla)… yet Fesenko barely sees the court.

I am gamecasting it. Did Fesenko really make a 10 foot jumper?
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I had the same thought
but he jumped toward the hoop. Call it a “short” ten footer, and again, no, he did not put it in the cylinder
It was more like a 7 foot put shot / finger roll.

Re: Diaw
1- sore ankle
2- Crash is playing well, + they added S-Jax recently

ugh.
so with crash playing well and the addition of sjax, what do you see in diaw’s future? some advice from the person at the top of the leaderboard would be great ;-)
I would use him as a utility guy, still.
Who are your other PF and SF options?
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
jason thompson, memo and al jeff on one team
randolph, murphy, okafor on the other
so…there you have six guys that are not lighting it up
lol
No idea, but I’d assume he gets it turned around soon. Just going to take some time to figure out the shots there…

You do realize...
that I’ve made the most waiver moves of anyone in the league, right?
You don’t want to ask me for advice, because more likely than not my response will be “drop/trade him”…

RIP Nick Adenhart. 4/9/09
yeah, but
i’ve made the second most moves and #1, 3, and 4 with the most moves are ranked the top three. in other words, i’m the big fat failure here…
And drop the right guys...
I’ve dropped/traded my 4th, 5th, 7th & 8th rounders… and more that I don’t currently remember.
(Speaks volumes about my drafting, I guess)

Statement of fact: Deron has 13 and 10...at the half.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Statement...
6 minutes into the 3rd quarter OF A COLLEGE FOOTBALL game, Houston (up 66-6) has more points than either the Jazz or the Blazers. (They had 59 at the half, which is how many the Jazz have right now)

Damn, I missed medical talk earlier.
I woulda been here sooner but I had to catch up on DVR. Kids had to watch iCarly.
Yes, really.
i was just thinking to myself that i don't really mind locke that much
then he started making verbal love to boozer, and i remembered why i don’t like listening to him
Howdy everyone
Slightly depressed about BYU/Utah, but this game has been a blast to listen to.

I agree. He's clearly the 2nd best player on the court...
Except Boozer turned into God a few nights ago.
ok so should i start having hope and expectations of wins again?
or is that just setting myself up for failure and depression?
so what's the real question here?
1) when did we get so good?
or
2) when did the blazers get so bad?
Blazers on 2nd of back-to-back...
…although they were awful against the Grizzle last night. And just Jazz are shooting lights out.
or did the blazers play crappy in a late game last night and now they’re just tired?

lol
that’s a real fan…on par with whoever it was last time that refused to speak to their guests until the jazz game was over last time
Yeah, she had on her pink li'l jersey and only cried at the end when she got bored.
Luckily Dippin’ Dots saved us all.
Oh, except the swearing in the car on the way home. EARMUFFS!
So listening to the Locke/Booze love fest was tough
But I don’t think he’s being melodramatic — Booze is really playing well.
Did Boler just call this a "runaway win"
with 11 minutes left to go?

the jazz could be up by 40 at the end
and at least three of the starters would be playing when the final buzzer sounds
sloan really wants deron to make the all-star team.

if i was the coach
starters would come out now. every minute they play is a minute that puts them at risk for injury, and we’ve had enough of that.
Isn't a 25 point lead enough?
No need to run up the score.
"We got to change something bc what we doing ain't working right now!" - DWill
with a 25-point lead
i’m amused by the way memo just meanders aimlessly from spot to spot on the floor
i'm bored
jazz have called this one in
by bigdog'sshades on Nov 28, 2009 9:01 PM MST up reply actions
and put the local HS team in?
There are three players on the bench….
But yes they should be on the floor now.
Prediction
Next dead ball, Sloan will realize we’re up by 20 and it’s not the first half anymore, and he’ll pull a few players
Scouting report:
“He brings an athleticism not normally seen in Utah. His stair-sliding ability is second to none in this league, and the guy is an animal with silly string.”
Is it me?
Or have there not been as many snap-T’s called this year? Not just the Jazz games but around the league. Is it just early, maybe?
he's the most junior of the remaining starters
and probably could use more playing time than the others
i think so
if you go through nba.com there’s not as much of a lag, but the quality is awful and sounds like it’s coming from under water
pick your poison…
Probably needs to be in case Locke gets a little too effusive in his praise and starts letting bombs fly
That Booze is so @@#%$%^^&$#$ good!
Diamond play of the game.....
Wonderful fake/pass/shot.
Boozer was laughing as the ball came to him.
Message to Neff (in parentheticals so as to not openly and freely admit)
(You’re right. I know you’re right. Booze is really playing.)
