While you were sleeping... 4 March 2009

Good news in the Association last night for the Jazz.  Let's get the reax from Boozer.

SUNS 99 @ MAGIC 111

The Jazz get a little distance between themselves and the Suns.  Am I the only one sick of the whole Superman thing?  Between the All-Star game, the dunk contest, and now Shaq/Howard, it's a little old.  And frankly, it's a little WWE.

RAPTORS 97 @ ROCKETS 107

We're going with the mixed reaction on this one.  We lose a 1/2 game on Houston but because they played tonight, they have to come to the ESA tomorrow for the second of a back to back.  Advantage us.

NUGGETS 95 @ PISTONS 100

This calls for the big smile,

Carmelo didn't play in this game after his one game team suspension and Detroit took advantage.  Iverson's departure has helped Denver and his injury the last three games has helped Detroit.  Could be one of the worst trades ever.

The Jazz have gained 4 games on the Nuggets over the last 10.  Denver is struggling a bit lately going just 5-5.  We sit just 1 1/2 games out right now.

We're coming.
