PrintNew Jersey Nets at Utah Jazz, Jan 14, 2012 7:00 PM MST
In just a few moments the Utah Jazz will play host to the New Jersey Nets. Tonight’s game is more than just two teams that are supposed to end this season in the lottery slap-fighting one another for 48 minutes. This is not a normal game where a 5-1 team at home team is playing a 3-5 team on the road. This is, essentially, a game where a bunch of guys (namely Deron Williams and Mehmet Okur) are getting suited up and ready to play in the visitor’s locker room – when they should never have been traded away. That’s just my opinion though, it’s not usually that you trade away two Olympians and get better. Bitterness aside, this is a really exciting game. I’ve been waiting for and dreading this game as soon as the revised schedule came out. And it all starts soon. Let’s get going.
.
Sight Reading:
The Jazz and Nets are both pretty poor teams, it’s hard to say otherwise when you look at their relative point differentials. They are both negative numbers, which means they are getting outscored, regardless of their combined 9 wins this season. The Nets take and make a lot of threes – more than any other team. This is a strength of Deron’s drive and dish game – a game he enjoyed when playing here with Kyle Korver and Mehmet Okur. The Jazz are still an inside oriented team, and try their best to control the glass. The Nets are pretty good at getting their own misses, so that’s where the main point of conflict will be.
The show is about to start, click the link below for way more analysis and to join in all the fun!
Recapitulation:
This is the first meeting between these two teams this year. They will play another game later on, but it would be wrong to suggest that this game will go anywhere as previous ones will go. It’s still a feeling out stage for the Jazz, and the Nets have a bunch of injuries to deal with. What we see tonight is going to be a product of more enthusiasm than execution. It’ll be sloppy. Like prom night.
.
The Beats and the Rests:
Deron Williams isn’t shooting that well, but he’s still shooting better than Devin Harris. D-Will also does everything else better as well. That said, when Harris is in attack mode he has always killed Deron with his speed and elusiveness. Raja Bell did his best against Kobe Bryant a few nights ago, tonight he’ll do battle with a rookie Kobe-Wannabe in MarShon Brooks. Brooks is getting the playing time and time on the floor with better players that both Alec Burks (and years ago Morris Almond) never got. And he’s making the most of it. There’s many reasons to love this kid, one of them is his 7’1 wingspan (Ronnie Brewer’s wingspan was 6’11). Tonight a lot of Jazz fans will get to see (hopefully) some of what I saw in him, and made me so high on him. Rounding out the three point barrage for the starting Nets is Anthony Morrow. He’s not a big-name player, but is deadly from outside. He matches up against the much taller Gordon Hayward, who really need to have a bounce back game. Hayward is shooting very poorly, but dishing the rock. At some stage we’re going to need him to make some shots too. I’d say Morrow gets the edge right now because Deron will use him correctly, and Hayward is in a slump. Inside the paint the Jazz dominate. Kris Humphries is having a double-double season, but Mehmet Okur is shooting blanks from deep so far (1/7 last night), which severely limits his effectiveness. That said, he still has the range to deserve drawing out one of our bigs on defense. Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson should eat their lunch tonight. And their dinner. On the bench I have to give Josh Howard the advantage over Damion James, who is out indefinitely. I also give him the advantage over Shawne Williams or DeShawn Stevenson. Sundiata Gaines is playing well, but did not play last night. Earl Watson is passing the ball well, but is injured. I call this one a push. Lastly, Sheldon Williams will just be emasculated by Derrick Favors, you know, if our Coaches remember that Favors is on the team. Favors only played 11 minutes in our last game, a game that went to Overtime.
.
Soloists:
Deron Williams vs. Devin Harris. I used to hate this match-up as a Jazz fan, and now the shoe is on the other foot. I hope to see Devin in attack mode. We know that Deron is going to do this "Jaguar Paw" / Man on a mission thing tonight. They are the obvious headliners, everything else is just background when these two play.
.
The Remix:
Our dribble penetration defense could not handle the Nets at all. Now they have 5 of our former players, and they’ll similarly be disinclined to defend? No Brook Lopez means there’s no reason NOT to go into the paint. We know Memo isn’t going to send them back like he’s Dikembe Mutombo.
.
Liner Notes:
- Dennis Horner has a sprained left ankle and missed Friday’s game
- Damion Jones has a sprained right ankle and foot, and is out indefinitely
- Brook Lopez had right foot surgery and is still scheduled to miss a few weeks
- DeShawn Stevenson has a sore right knee, but played in Friday’s game
- Deron Williams has a sprained ankle, but played in Friday’s game
- Jeremy Evans is questionable with flu-like symptoms
- Earl Watson has a bone bruise on his left knee, and is a game time decision
- This is still Deron William’s house, unless he show him the door tonight.

One thing is for sure tonight
Deron plays pissed (at management), and goes off. He was always at his best playing with that chip on his shoulder.
hope favors plays more than 11 mins tonight . . .

Which is sad.
Imagine if Deron came back next year as a free agent. The Jazz would be the villains of the league, scoring Favors & Kanter for practically nothing, and with D-Will the Jazz would be a very strong team.
I went with 116.
Alot of Jazzmen are out to prove something tonight, and the Nets just suck at defense no matter what. Of course, their threes will prob keep it a semi close game.

110 – three people
111 – three people
112 – one person

114 – two people
115 – zero people

I'm legitimately worried about the Nets' 3 point shooting
We always rotate to corner shooters a few seconds too slow, and if the Nets hit their shots tonight….that could mean trouble.

On a non-Deron note:
Big Al and Millsap have become a seriously dangerous inside combo.
The one problem is that big teams (ie – Lakers) tend to totally lock them out. But against weak frontcourts like the Nets, they really go to work.
when big al takes these dumb shots, and they go in
they make him think he can make them against good defenses. and we see what happened in lakers game

I only get to see the Jazz on TV a few times a year (including Bulls games)
So this just makes me angry…I think the national audience sees these guys enough. Not to mention the undecided sports fan is almost certainly watching Patriots vs Tebows anyway
Jazz
playing consistently well to start off. Had issues starting off slow and sluggish in the past. Looking good these days.
i did not expect it like this. this is sickening.

If Dwight doesn’t sign with NJ, there’s no way Deron stays. Dallas looks like a very likely destination.

Has been pretty apparent that he craves a large market.
I have a feeling that Deron and Dwight had been planning to play together a la LeBron+Wade+Bosh, but I’m not sure where they might have been planning to go. Now, the Nets can offer them what they want – play together, big market, deep pockets.
I think it's fine.

I do think though
that if Dwight really does want to play with Deron, he will force his way to Nets. Allegedly he has already told them “Nets or nothing.”

I think Deron will go to the Mavs
The Mavs are clearing a ton of cap space. They let anyone who wanted a multi year deal go and only signed free agents to 1 year deals. Sources say they also want to be players in the Dwight Howard sweepstakes.
Plus there’s nothing holding him to the Nets.
Utah would be his NBA home.
I think he might stay in Brooklyn personally.

Maybe Okur will join the Jazz next season?
He’ll be out of contract, just like Deron. If Okur could forgive the franchise after they traded him away for nothing, he could be a great role player and continue his Jazz legacy.

I think Jefferson was tired against the Lakers
from the back-to-back and the great game the night before . . . he was really dragging that game.

Utah fans are smarter than that. Right? RIGHT?

Hopefully in the second half we can see more Kanter and Favors.

is it difficult for anyone else to enjoy this game?

i can't concentrate on what's going on at all
i just keep getting distracted and frustrated by the booing.
I love being deaf.
Can’t really hear the booing and such,
For sure enjoying watching Deron gettin schooled, just because he is now surrounded by close to no talent.
No I’m, enjoying the game!
Besides it’s the first time I’ve been here with all my nice friends!

I have no problem with Harris' numbers this season
W’s are all that matter to me. Harris has changed his game dramatically to cater for our ‘feed Al’ offence. As long as it is working, I’ve no problem with Harris only scoring 6 points a game.
I do miss his super fast drives though. They were always so deadly AGAINST us, it’d be nice to use them to our advantage.

Ty is not afraid to allow them to step up and prove their worth.
He is also not sitting by and letting the vets muck it up either.
Notice how when a real bad play is made, the player heads for the bench? I have. That message is clear as can be. Play perfect or git off da court!
Jazz starters= nothing special.
What can you do tonight to help this team win?
Don’t give a crap if you are 19 or 38, I need your talents tonight, are you going to share them or pout on the bench?
You step up, your minutes will follow!
TONIGHT!

It's really not as bad as you make it out to be
Favors got in earlier than usual in the 3rd. And expect to see the second unit play the majority of the 4th.
hope we see a lot of the younger guys in the 4th

Well
Just saying, heard that he’s too controlling, very negative towards the players. At least that’s what the Mavs players described him as.
nice to see us playing well after doing the same against LA
too bad it was only a three point loss :/
Humphries is a good rebounder
But Kanter just owned him.
Da boy needed a lesson.
He is gettin it!
I just hope he learns before he comes home.
He is smart enough.

Near perfect outcome tonight.
The bench gets all of the burn in the 4th quarter. Most importantly, the Jazz get the W.
The bench part is key
Fresh-ish for the Nuggets tomorrow
Jamaal Tinsley is so old his wikipedia page is in black and white

Play FESS More!!!
I love men!
HEH!
Only off by two on the Jazz, hit the Nets score on the head
Pretty sure that’ll make the top 5!
