Here's a thought
I’m wondering if these green jersy’s are a conspiracy for Energy Solutions Steve Cremer. They are an alleged recycling company, and these green jersy’s are a bribe of some sort.
I think they should’ve gone with the white retro jersy’s to add a little more color.

Changed my mind on the jerseys
Love them. I must have one. It will obviously turn me into Deron Williams.
Must be.
I’m as tall as Stockton. I just need to get a #12 and I think I could sneak in.

They just showed a stat that the Jazz have shot 60% in the last three games. Not true.

throw out the baby blues
bring in the green as the normal road alternate.

love the green. so far a couple of shots that wouldnt normally drop have been falling. a couple weird bounces in the jazz favor as well. Could it be the lucky greens?

I think you could have all 10 biggest Jazz stories for the season be about Carlos Boozer.
Number one being his ridiculous play right now. Not even the biggest Boozer supporter could have imagined him to play this well. It may not last, but he is in another time zone right now.

Pace is also on a jinxing roll tonight
Every time they talk to him, he says this game is already in the bag, no way the Jazz lose. He must be sent a copy of the jinxing guidelines for future reference. And if we happen to lose this game, I vote we staple them to his face.
We could staple something to his face anyway.

So, I know it's just 1 game...
but it seems to me that the Jazz still have a pretty significant drop-off when Deron leaves the court.

Look at Boozer laughing out there. He is such a leader.
I just laugh at all the people who try to convince you that Boozer is being a leader by smiling and whispering to Deron Williams down the court.
I agree he is leading, but not at all because of those things.

Wes Matthews is stepping up. A little heat from Miles' return perhaps?

I don't know. I think we should call him, "Oh my sweet Wesley," as an homage to Princess Bride.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
I call him The Crusher
because I’m a nerd and it reminds me of Wesley Crusher (as played by nerd icon Wil Wheaton) of Star Trek fame.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
Speaking of nicknames
doesn’t anyone anywhere have a better nickname for Deron? D-Will puts him in the realm of T-Mac and A-Rod and J-Lo, and I just can’t stand it.
SL sportswriters have seriously failed us so far in this regard.
Deron
has repeatedly voiced his dislike for anyone forcing a nickname on him other than D-Will. He likes D-Will, has it tattooed on himself in fact, and doesn’t want any other name. (Let’s not forget the “Slick Willy” fiasco from Hot Rod.)
Round here we call him Ninja for his remarks in an old ESPN ad with Gilbert Arenas (see my signature). But I don’t presume to say that’s his “official” nickname.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
I actually had that thought after I posted it
Thought noone would catch it.
Although should we really be worried obout the other CP right now?
Moral Quandary:
Wife is nursing-sleeping-nursing 2-day-old baby. 6- and 8-year old sleeping. 3-year-old wandering the house (due to earlier nap)…. Should I watch the 2nd half at a friend’s house who has a flat-screen with HD? Or stay here watching the fuzzy feed?

PLEASE to stop with this topic. Do not want. I’ve been dealing with it at work for a solid week now and I’m so sick of it I could scream.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
there's a shirt?
I’d love a shirt calling me classless. I’d wear it at family reunions and such. My wife’s family —all 22 uncles/aunts and all 48 cousins went to BYU. They about died when she married a Ute
I used to think that the BYU-Utah rivalry was a great one, until I moved to Durham, NC.
It pales in comparison to UNC-Duke.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I know BYU-U is probably colloquial. But it gets some good gems.
When I was at the U, one of the sportswriters for the Chrony was a dude with a beard and long hair. In the week approaching the game, they did a list of why the U is better.
#1: a picture of the dude, and the caption: “They worship this guy at BYU. Here, he writes in our sports section.” I’m a pretty dedicated Mo’, but it was really, really funny.
You wouldn’t get gems like that at Duke/UNC
any humor that may ever have existed in the whole situation is lost on me by now. I just want it to go away.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
But Shums, you would be out of a job, if these sort of things didn't happen. That is why I love aneurysms and car crashes.

Guys. If the Jazz keep winning, the front office may be willing to make a trade for one more sweet scorer with our expiring contracts.

Sloan would kill him in the first 3 minutes!
On court with real blood!
by RRR on Dec 4, 2009 8:34 PM MST up reply actions
Remember when Melo wouldn't come to the bench when George Karl wanted him to?
I’ve always had a dream to see a Jazzman do that to Sloan. That would be the greatest basketball moment of my entire life.
yes, but they came
I want to see a dude flat out refuse, then turn his back on Sloan and stand there awaiting play to continue. The dude’s impending doom and the awaiting violence would be something else to see.
Or even Corey Maggette for our expiring contracts or maybe even Michael Redd. I don't love Redd's game, but I could live with him shooting threes for us.

-To refuse to answer or cooperate.
