Phoenix Suns at Utah Jazz, Mar 28, 2009 7:00 PM MDT
While the Jazz have been resting since their loss @ PHX, the Suns headed up to the great NW and did us no favors by losing to the Blazers.
This game will come down to stops by the Jazz. The offense can score against the best defenses in the league. The Suns do not have a good defense.
So will the Jazz be able to put it away and open things up? Will we have a Fess sighting? He seems determined with his call-up:
I am here now and I think I am ready to prove something to somebody.
Will Shaq get stuffed multiple times? Both teams have quit a bit riding on this one.
Denver and Portland are playing tonight. Denver hosts the Warriors while the Grizz invade Portland. They are favored in those games and the Jazz will need to win just to keep pace.

It looks like they're playing hot potatoe.

It's good to see that we haven't let our road letdowns carry over into this game.
We look fantastic.

At least we don't look like the Nuggets right now at home.

I find it funny that Pride & Predjudice is always on during Jazz games.
It is very hard for me to choose between the two.

I'll give you a hint. One of those things will always end the same way.

That is very impolite.
And her teeth are rather creepy.

Do we have to turn our televisions and computers off during Earth hour?

I have been one of Brevin Knight's biggest supporters all season...
But Price deserves a chance to see if he can be a little less inept.

And with Pitt's loss
Shums looks to take a commanding lead in the SLC Dunk bracket.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
Did I make the playoffs in the fantasy league?

nope.
but I do think you’ll have a game next week in the consolation bracket.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
Consolation bracket?
That’s very unluxury.

That was the worst offensive foul call ever.
Harpring torpedoed into Dudley. And Bolerjack said he had his feet planted.

Both these teams are fighting for their playoff lives, but only Phoenix plays like it right now.

Foul trouble on Boozer and Millsap.
The stars are aligning for Fesenko.

Does anyone have Randy Rigby's phone number?
I’m going to call him and offer him free orthodontic care.

No, Harpring looks top heavy and he's finally making 5 foot shots and layups like a professional basketball player should.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I know. They went on a 30-8 run. They are unstoppable. They will win the division with no problem

Super long bounce pass=BORING! Chris Paul just had a nightmare that he made that crappy pass.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Glad to see that CJ made the most of his 8 minutes by missing 3 shots and 2 three pointers and getting a rebound.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
But he just made something of that last minute.

... AND TOTALLY REDEEMING HIMSELF.
okay, not really. But good job not giving up on the play.

He's like Narcis Prince on Super Punch Out.

Agreed. Looks like a good game. Now to convince the missus that we need a wii.

What? When does that come out?
Punch Out games are my favorites of all time.

we used to have Punch Out fests
in the journalism lab, via emulator. Till Durham yelled at us.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
I play it occasionally on my modified xbox. I have all the classic nintendo and super nintendo games on it.

She only yelled at you? She threw staplers at us.

oh, there were flying office supplies, definitely.
and threats to drop-kick us to Scipio.

I liked Mrs. Durham.
You guys were just naughty.

Oh don't get me wrong. She was my favorite English teacher high school or college.

To keep up with the old-school gaming theme...
Blue Shums needs pizza… BADLY.
Looks like a blowout here, so I’m getting food and switching to the RSL game. Back later, peeps.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
following the game via espn.com . . . why did deron get a T?

It was a bad call, it put him on the bench with 4 fouls and all I saw him say was, "that wasn't a foul. He pushed me."
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Well...it's a game now. And Harpring actually looks like the main guy that can break down a zone defense.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
This team looks a little stale to me right now. Anything to change things up would be terriffic.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
And that would have been a perfect time to practice a play with 0.3 seconds left. Oh well.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
The most frustrating thing is that this team needs to be playing good ball going into the playoffs.
They thrive off confidence and when they are rolling, they are rolling, but we could go into the playoffs conceivably winning 5 out of 12 games or something.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Um, I'd rather watch the akward vampire movie than this.

isn't this the 3rd game in 4 nights for phx?
by AllThatJazzBasketball on Mar 28, 2009 9:02 PM MDT reply actions
yes, but we're horrible and we know it
you could see they were all hanging their heads as they walked to the bench during the last timeout
If this is the Jazz team that shows up in the playoffs, we will be out in 5.

boler >>>>>>>>>>>> chinese commentators
i have the video on mute and am listening to hot rod despite the out-of-syncness
are you kidding?
they are giving him a chance to scream his face off. if there was nothing for him to yell about, he’d be unhappy.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
And all of the sudden, the playoffs are not a certainty.

Booze on not playing at the end of the Houston/Phoenix games
“I don’t like that,” he said. “I like to be out there helping out my teammates, whatever that means. Rebounding. Defense. Scoring. Whatever the case may be. At the same time, he’s the coach and he’s going to do what he needs to do. But I’d like be out there trying to help.”
oh my goodness. I'm shaking I'm so nervous!

They should have given it to Kyle. I
Had a good feeling about it.

Reversing the Siler jinx...
There’s also no doubt that the Jazz will win out at home – - they have Phoenix, New York, Minnesota, Golden State and the L.A. Clippers left – - and take an 18-game winning streak (one shy of the franchise record) at EnergySolutions Arena into the playoffs.
this is ridiculous . . . being a jazz fan is bad for my heart
and my sleep cycle . . . I live in the Eastern Time Zone . . .

He thinks just because he signed a 6-year, $84 million contract, that he doesn't have to hustle when running the weave.

Deron has the tools to be a superstar.
He just to needs the self-confidence at the end of the game. He seems to be lacking that killer instinct.
although
I have to say, he has a penchant for making them in clutch situations.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
good point,
i was horrified when he took that one against the rockets in game 7 a couple of years ago, only to tie the score…
from a similar spot from memory
Gametime!
No mathematical way for it not to be.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Exactly. We needed the win.
As our own team has demonstrated, momentum can come and go as quickly as in a game. We now have 10 games to figure out how to get it back.

Hey guys. Not a good game for the Jazz. They looked awful and many weaknesses were exposed.
But as my wife just mentioned, “Better to win it, than lose it.” Let’s just all be happy and pretend it never happened the way it did.

I don't think Kyle even scored tonight.

He had a 3 pointer.
And took a charge that took 3 years off his life.

With the Jazz down 88-81, I pretty much gave up hope and sent the following text to one of my diehard Suns fan friends
“You guys deserve to make the playoffs. We do not. This is a completely ridiculous performance.”
Reverse jinxes FTW.
But this game shouldn’t even have been close. I’m still angry at this team right now, even though they won.
Get over it.
We started doing well when I turned on the TV
Or when Ron next to me started eating his Po Boy.
Jinx shminx.
sorry dude
if I came across too strong. I don’t think any of us are really taking that seriously, it’s just a joke. We’re glad you showed up. And if you were good luck, so much the better.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?
thank God for timely AK three point making . . . and Okur too . . .still can't believe we won this
by AllThatJazzBasketball on Mar 28, 2009 10:15 PM MDT reply actions
Completely agree.
I was on such an adrenaline/caffeine rush, I was bouncing around the house. Finally settled for a bit. :)
I could sure go for a Mountain Dew right about now.
