Some game-play footage of NBA2K11 for the Jazz from Operation Sports. They break down some of the offensive plays of the Jazz as well as showing the new court (which still hasn't been unveiled).
And the demo is out today, a few weeks before the release.
NBA 2K11: Ten Teams in Ten Days - Day 4: Utah Jazz (via MrOperationSports)
(it's so real, Yao blew out his knee 3 seconds later)
For you sneaker heads, here's Deron's new HyperFuse (from Sole Redemption),
This was discussed on twitter the past couple of days but I forgot to bring it to the Dunk for discussion. Big Tag has been working out in Dallas (see, Deron is totally going to go there now in 2012) to try and get back into the league. His first stop may be in the DLeague with the Defenders. Right now though, he's just trying to get a training camp invite.
Ostertag is 37, younger than some other vet centers that are still playing. He's been out of the league for 4 years. While he still has to get into playing shape, at least playing shape for Greg Ostertag, I wonder if the time off has extended his playing time? Had he kept playing, he likely would have been done by now. Maybe the time off has rejuvenated him a bit?
I do wonder if he had any discussions with the Jazz at all before the Elson signing. There had to have been some communication there, right? There's a bit of a logjam now, especially when Memo comes back.
The biggest issue though is that should he play this season, he'll have to put off entering the HOF for another 5 seasons.
CJ tweeted this the other day,
Best fans in Tha world I swear http://twitpic.com/2no088
Anyone have one better?

I'm not sure
What the Jazz saw in Francisco Elson. He’s 7 feet, but not very heavy. Doesn’t appear to have any upside to Fesenko. I was hoping that with Okur out Jefferson would start and get aout 30 mins at center (and a 5-8 at PF) while Fesenko played the remaining 18 (or some arrangement along those lines) Fesenko has shown signs he can be a decent ball player, he just needs time to play. Obviously a lot will depend on matchups and who the Jazz are playing, what the score is etc, but there is no reason that Fesenko couldn’t get around 20 mpg while Okur is out. I’m afraid Elson will ruin Fesenko’s chances to develop. And once Okur comes back, game over for Fesenko.
I still think Fesenko has promise. Jazz shouldn’t give up. Imagine if he develops to the same level Ostertag was. We bring in Tomic. We still have Jefferson and MIllsap, and an aging Okur. Granted this is a couple years down the road, but we’d potentially have the deepest frontcourt in Jazz history,
what's the non-gay way to say i love you?

Yeah Nah
Like the fact that it’s DWill’s Hyperfuse, but not so keen on the Hyperfuse itself.
Besides I just got these… (sarcasm alert) shame we don’t play in the Baby Blues any more

"One of the teams asked me a running back question," McCluster said. "They said when you have the ball, do you focus on the guy who's in front of you or the next guy.
"I told them 99% of the time, I'm going to make that first guy miss. Then, I'm onto the next."

on the other hand
if he plays in the D-League this year and comes back to the NBA next season, could potentially be enshrined and still racking up stats like Mario Lemieux did.
I reallyed like the 2k11 video
I was researching ways to diagram plays (i’m not much of an artist) then I realized I can just do this w/ video games.

Video Games. They don't make 'em like they used to.
1- That is incredible. Teams have started (mostly Houston) talking about using video games as a way to teach plays and decision making among players. Now we can obviously see how that could work. I hope some of the players play this game in their off days and learn the plays, if they are correct. But that game looks incredible.
2- I’ve actually been thinking about investing in some bball sneakers. (Pick up ball on Duke Campus is pretty good). But I don’t love these. I think I would look silly in them. Maybe I’m the problem.
8- I would sign him for practice and as an insurance policy. I like Ostertag.
4- I have some Jazz tattoos, but they aren’t appropriate to share. I don’t have any. I iied. But that isn’t what should convince CJ that we do have the best fans in the world.
5- Hopefully he signs before camp. He needs to realize that if he hasn’t come to terms by then, that he needs to not be a distraction.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Clark, drop me a line if you need advice with getting some kicks.

I work with the PAs all the time. Who is your friend? And more importantly, is he/she a Jazz fan?

“Forget the Deer, fear the Flex” – Best line in that video.
Also, I hope those green alternates are in the game.
