Utah Jazz at Milwaukee Bucks, Mar 12, 2010 6:30 PM MST
The unstoppable force meets the unmovable object?
That's kind of what we're heading for tonight when the Jazz head into the brew capital tonight. The Bucks are a different team since getting blown out at the ESA a couple of months ago, 112-95. Since then, they're 18-7 and 10-2 since the break and 9-1 in their last 10.
The reason has been their stifling defense. The Bucks aren't scoring much and in fact their PPG is less after the All-star break. However, they've only been giving up 89.09 points a game during that same span.
On the other hand, they haven't faced an offense like the Jazz much since then either. The one game they did lose in their 9-1 streak was against the Hawks, the third-rated team offensively. They also beat Cleveland but the Cavs were sans LeBron.
The last game saw the Jazz win with a balanced scoring attack. Doe was 2-3 from deep and had a team-high 19 points. Four other Jazz men had double-figures. Boozer and Okur owned the glass with 12 boards each. The Jazz were also 8-16 from three-point land.
The Jazz jumped on the Bucks early in their win at the ESA and that's what the Jazz will need again tonight. I'm looking forward to what the Jazz can do against the Bucks' D.
Oh, and I'll get up a recap tonight for a change if it kills me.

For the Love of the Game
Who's Doe?
That’s the second time I’ve heard that
Doe = CJ
due to his frequent use of the popular slang phrase “what up doe” on his Twitter.

Is the 10 days almost up?
for Othyus Jeffers? It’s got to be close. Any rumblings about other signing possibilities in the next few days?
I think it expires today or tomorrow or something
no real rumblings, though I did read somewhere that KOC likes OJ

Wow, I was in the bathroom, and heard boozer yell HEY right there.
I can’t hear anything else from the TV.
bucks defense
Do they bucks hold their opponents to such low field goal percentages because they happen to allow fog horns in their arena?
I Think
that’s part of it. Bango (the mascot) does a lot of distracting things as well….

granted i never watch the bucks unless they're playing us
but i really, really like how they’re playing.
I went to the game in Utah...
They played 10 guys in 4 minutes. Was ridiculous. They looked awful.
They have played better of late, but that was plain gross earlier in the year.
Injuries
had killed them. finally found some stability

Not really... they had Jennings, Bogut, Delfino, etc.
Was just a weird start to a weird game. I blame the crazy red unis.
But yeah, whatever they’re doing now is much, much better. They didn’t care on defense that game.
Delfino only caught fire recently
and didn’t get much time early

i would imagine skiles' coaching style
takes a while to get used to / it takes a while for the players to buy in, which they clearly have.
40 points in a half
after laying 132 on the Bulls and 115 on the Pistons.
No bueno.

the guys we’ve got in the game aren’t working, and he’s supposed to be good on that thing called defense.
Toughness
Jazz getting totally out-toughed by the Bucks. Jeffers supposedly is a tough dude so it couldn’t hurt. I’d like to see him give a hard foul to Delfino.

why Deron even passed it to Booze on that last play and not finish with the left hand.

Bucks have shot blockers. Can't attack the rim when a team protects it so well. This isn't NBA jam.
Milwaukee is absolutely stifling on defense the last 15 games or so.

calf strain is all.......
They can relax and be fine real soon, or of course can Boozer linger…

Jazz should have walked off the court with that last no-call!
Providing a firm single finger salute to Davids pawns as they left!

I think the team gets fined something ridiculous like $500,000 or something if that happens.
I read that somewhere because I have wondered why more teams don’t do that.

I have no doubt about the fines and other sanctions!
David protects his empire with an iron fist!
Any wonder why Mark Cuban has many many challenges with him.
Oh and is not quite so fearful of his fines and shit!

chump change.........................
The effect would have been priceless
SLC Dunk #1 Jazz Site in the world!
it was the wrong call
but seriously, I think if Stern is involved in some sort of conspiracy, changing the outcome of this game is hardly going to be top of his agenda
Jazz will have a hard time beating OKC if AK isn't playing.
That is the true measure of a team’s MVP. Who are you most worried about not having for a game.
I might put AK #1, but Deron and AK are definitely 1 and 2. Then I would put Boozer and Millsap as 3 and 4. Really a tie there, for me.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
We had that game. Korver's near 3 pointer along with Boozer's ill-advised and unnecessary foul on that rebound, sort of killed our momentum.
Tough loss, but I thought the team played hard.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
I agree 100%.
Some goofy breaks, weird no-calls… it happens. We caught Milwaukee at their best. Now we gotta go beat OKC. That should be a fun one.
