PrintMinnesota Timberwolves at Utah Jazz, Dec 14, 2009 7:00 PM MST
To steal LHM's catchphrase, "You know these guys."
Despite how poorly the Timberwolves are playing and how well the Jazz are playing, the Peskies (as Hot Rod would call them) always play the Jazz tough and have beaten them a lot when they probably shouldn't have. It's all about the matchups.
Anyway, the Jazz will catch a break at Ryan "Freakin'" Gomes will be out.
Coincidentally (ironically?) the Jazz will have their full roster for the first time this season. Yes, 13 full players will suit up. I'm not forgetting Hapring but when you spend more time on the court with a mic in hand than you do with sneakers on, you're on the team on paper only. Sad.
Anyway, the Jazz need a win before heading on their pre-Christmas 5-game east-coast roady, something that they should get. It could be the classic let-down game but maybe, just maybe the Jazz are peaking out a little bit more around the proverbial corner.
Sounds like there are still plenty of tickets available for the game as Locke is using the Jazz Dancing team in Santa Suits as a motivator to buy tickets.

Locke just turned an interview
with Kevin Love into a Carlos Boozer love-fest. That kind of single-minded focus takes some talent.

so someone with a more detailed memory than mine--
do we only have trouble beating the peskies in their house is is it in our house too?
no hard numbers on this
but I’m pretty sure it’s just on the road.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
They beat us here near the end of last season on a buzzer beater by Rodney Carney.

I don't think there's a PG in the league that can.
He’s too big.

He reminds me a little of Greg Ostertag/Jarron Collins mixed into one. Except hes not black..

Welcome. Do you really know Fes? We are all huge fans and wish he got more time. At least a bunch of us.

Congratulations to the 76ers on breaking their 12 game skid.
And I love games like NOH vs. Dal. It’s a win-win situation for us.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
wow
our roster= 1 great player, 9 good players, and 2-3 afterthoughts. we probably have more “good players” than any team in the league. we have so many good assets, if we could only trade a couple of our good players for 1 more great player we’d be in business. not enough time to go around for all these dudes right now.
Easy, Bucim. You are starting to make me think that you believe what you are saying. Fess is great, but still has a ways to go.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Listen here, clarpo
DWill and Boozer are pretty good and everything, but Sloan really needs to believe in Fess more..AND SO DO YOU.
by bucimislover on Dec 14, 2009 7:36 PM MST up reply actions
I really do. Believe me. I am the probably the biggest Fes supporter there is. He deserves more minutes than he is getting.
But he isn’t a superstar or anything. Not yet at least. Still needs to learn what to do with the basketball from 10+ feet.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I'd argue
that I’m just as big a Fes supporter as you.

The problem with the Jazz trading for another great player right now is this:
There is major parity in the league right now. At this point only 3-4 teams feel like they are already out of the playoffs. And if the Jazz are going to get a great player, they are going to have to sneak one from a team looking to dump salary. But I can’t find teams that are going to be in this position. As of now, the only difference makers that might be available are probably Michael Redd and Caron Butler. But in a month or so, after a few teams have lost a bunch more games, we may be able to find a better trade partner.

Don't worry, we still have the fifth quarter
We’ll get them then.

Really?
We’re going to be 0-3 against the Timberwolves before the end of 2009?
They’ll be lucky to have 6 wins… and half of them will be against the Jazz.

Maybe I have a bad attitude, but
why is it these type of games make all the good feelings from the last couple of games disappear?
Because these are the types of games that championship type teams win without a problem.

because the teams that really matter

anyone notice the deron JINX from a few weeks ago?
when asked to predict the jazz’s finishing position in the NW he said “i guarantee we won’t be the 5th place team.” these struggles with the twolves have to be some kind of karma payback for that statement

It means how many more/less points than the opponents do the Jazz score when he's in the game.

lol, I know what the meaning of +/- is...
I just want to know how it relates to the Jazz.
You can’t tell me we’d have a better record w/o Boozer this year.
Probably not
but that’s highly related to his stretch of like 2 weeks where he played out of his mind (and up to his contract)…

Because AK, while not always scoring,

I think it has more creedence when you look at a whole season's worth of stats. One game, not so much, but at some point it means your team plays better when you are on or off the floor.

are you implying that his awesome double-doubles aren't good enough?
you want him to actually help the team win?
Pretty soon you’ll want Harpring to belatedly make all those layups he missed.

guys. Our defense needs some work again. But I personally blame this game on trying too hard to get AK and Korver back in the game.
Mostly our defense is so bad. But mostly our defensive execution. We fail to run special defenses to gameplan against other teams. It’s frustrating.

We beat the Spurs, Magic and Lakers and then lose to the Timberwolves… in the same venue… in the same freakin week. GAY! What the hell is wrong with this team? Its the same core for like 4 years now. I just don’t understand it. They really need to win in Atlanta to restore some faith.
