Congratulations to Ronnie Price for entering the UVU Hall of Fame last night. From listening to Randy Rigby on the radio, D-Will, The KOOF, and others traveled down for the ceremony. Here's the video clip,

I have to say that even if he was bald, I still don't think his plaque looks like him,

Found this quote on Deron's website,
You have to know when to hold them, know how to control the game, control the clock, know when to push it, know when to walk away, know when to slow it down, know when to run, know when your team needs a basket, know who's hot, and, when you see guys struggling, know when to pick up your own scoring.
With his beard, he could become the gambler.
Kind of weird, I was trying to find Paul Millsap's website. I looked up http://pmillsap.com which is where it was, but doesn't look like anything is there now. So I tried http://paulmillsap.com just to see who owned it.
Oddly enough, it redirects to the law firm that represented Chris Bosh in his cyber-squatting case. It looks like The KOOF and Ronnie Price were also affected. I wonder if they've contacted them about getting the domain back.
Great podcast from TNLP. Their podcast is called the Chronicles of Crotty after John Crotty. Well, for their first anniversary, they bring the man himself on the show and he talks about a few things but also talks about playing behind John Stockton.
Last year we had the Memo 15 which is when Memo scores at least 15 points, the Jazz normally win. Last season the Jazz were 32-11 (.744) when Memo had at least 15. This season they're just 7-5 (.583) when that happens.
A lot has changed of course. He was scoring a lot more last season with all of the injuries. Since he's not going to be scoring as much this season with everyone healthy, let's look at his FG% as a measure. When Memo shoots over 50%, the Jazz are 12-3 (.800). That's a nice number.
If we're going to pass the Memo 15 on to someone else, let's give it to Wesley Matthews. If he scores 15, tthe Jazz are undefeated That's some sweet action.

Agree with you on the plaque
It looks to me like a cross between Michael Jordan and Ray Allen, honestly.
Bam
1. Went to Ronnie’s HOF induction lastnight. Got lost and was wandering around with a buddy and bumped into all the Jazz men. Lol. Got pics with Korver, Sloan and was able to chat with D-will, Kouf, and Gary Briggs. Pretty sweet action.
2. We were pissed when we saw D-will had shaved. If we lose to Denver I’m blaming it on the lack of a beard.
8. That blows
4. Crotty is a stud. I miss the 80s and 90s alot…..
5. Wes Matthews is a Greek God or at least a Greek Hero. Hercules maybe? Achilles? Still I love the kid.
For the Love of the Game
DWill shaved the whole thing?
Or does he still have the goatee?

Omg
That’s so neat that you bumped into the Jazz players. Give us some more info – what were they like? Can you share the pics?
Can’t believe D-will shaved!!!! Was it a trim? FILL US IN!

Lol.
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not.
D-will only trimmed it. We were just sad cause we both have beards and thought his grizzlied look was badass. Cause you know….. people with beards are badass.
As for the rest i can’t tell if you really wanna know
For the Love of the Game
No sarcasm
I am sincerely interested in how it was to meet the players. I think it’s great when you meet them outside of an NBA arena when they are more casual and relaxed. In other words, meeting them when they are not “at work”. With this current group of guys, I met the Koof while he was warming up an hour before the game – he was cordial, but you could tell how young he was the minute he opened his mouth. It’s so easy to forget the kid is like 19-20 years old. Tried to talk to Korver but he was focused on the his pre-game shooting drill. I also tried to talk to Ty Corbin but he just wasn’t having it.
I am also am a huge fan of beards and facial hair in general, so hence the enthusiasm.
