Read the game thread from last night. Glad to see we're back on track. As far as the Rain Man pic, I'm an idiot. I got my Jazz player catch phrases mixed up in my head. I was going with "definitely" but that is Ronnie Brewer's.
For some reason, when I was thinking of "regardless" to associate Boozer and his return to NJ, I got "definitely." Don't ask me how.
Too bad the Jazz did themselves a huge disservice last night by beating the Nets. They'll be feeling that one when NJ ends up with a better pick than us :).
This spot might be a permanent reminder to vote for Deron every day. So click on the box at the right if you haven't already and vote. Then proceed.
In case you're not following me on twitter or using twitter at all, Deron is going to be on TNT tonight in studio with Ernie, Charles, and Kenny per @lockedonsports. Make sure to catch that.
And to finish out this cheapened Downbeat, since Deron's 7-turnover game against OKC, he's averaging 11.2 assists and only 2.45 turnovers while averaging 38 minutes a game. And in 3 of the last 5 games, he's had exactly one TO while averaging 12 assists. Ninja.

We need a “gametime chat” instead of game thread. It takes a lot of time to load and refresh.
<3ed couple of dunks last night especially Fes’ monster jam. Not sure why wasn’t it a part of the highlight.

+1 for a gametime chat
I can never keep up w/ the thread
why would you need to refresh the game thread?
new posts show up on there automatically, like a chat…
if yours doesn’t, check your settings to make sure "Live update comment threads with new comments? " is set to “yes” :-)
And yes on this.
Check your settings.

Do you join the games threads when they start or do you come in later?
We are getting to the point where we might have to start new game threads after a bit. Once they start pushing 500 or so, there tends to be a slow down. Also, lots of images will slow it down more.

other sites
start a new thread for the second half or whatever if there are more than 500 comments. Also, image-heavy threads really get out of control; other SBN sites have implemented an unwritten one-pic-per-thread rule which seems to work well.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
Yeah
I might have to implement a pic rule. A second game thread is probably coming. We’re a long cry from the 100 or so that we used to get.
I guess that’s a good thing.

meant to say
one pic per person per thread. I love my ninjas and Rageguys, but overuse dampens Teh Humorz.

They misspelled Deron's name in the game program

I like to think that his banked-in 3 at the end was retribution for that misspelling.
It was at that point that about 50% of the crowd got up to leave the stadium, too, leaving only us Jazz fans.
How many people were in attendance? From the TV it looked rather bleak – I’ve seen regular season high school games with more people in attendance.
almost nobody
The stadium was the emptiest, dreariest stadium I’ve ever seen for an NBA game. My tickets on stubhub were only $2, and they couldn’t even fill it up at that price.
I’d say it was somewhere around 40-50% full, with higher density of people in the upper bowl than lower.
The halftime show was a 6-on-6 (?) game of little 5-10 year-old-kids, and they played with more intensity than any of the Nets.
