Jazz @ Sixers, 1/22/11, 5:30 Utah time

[mellow]

An epic battle of overpayed and unispired big men (Brand & Jefferson), athletic wings who can't shoot but cashed in by being the only bright spot on bad teams and are now vastly overpayed ( Iggy & AK) and overhyped draft picks who don't play enough minutes ( Turner & Hayward).

Will either big get more than 8 rebounds, will either wing shoot better than 33%, Will either of the rookies play more than 12 minutes. Don't waste your time watching, just find the box score tommorow to find out.

Screw that. Green Bay by 20+.

Also, Jazz win by 17, 107-90.

The Jazz must salvage a win with this one because the next two (LA, SA) could be brutal.

 

[billyshelby]

Sloan conceded last night early. I think we come out rested, focused, and angry. Jazz by 18.

 

[carolinajazz]

Screw that. Green Bay by 20+.

Also, Jazz win by 17, 107-90.

...chance Packers beat Bears by 20? ZERO! Chance Jazz beat 76ers by 17? ZERO!

 

[Cocaine]

Maybe not by 20, but they are favored to win, and I have no doubt in my mind that they will prevail.

 

[Cocaine]

Lineup change tonight. Andre is benched, Hayward starting.

 

[Cocaine]

Deron actually pushing the ball and controlling the tempo of the game. Not liking them trading buckets, but it's an improvement. Keep it up.

 

[bordelais7]

Jefferson took 30 games to not adjust to his new team. The lineup change has him looking even more lost.

 

[Jeditiger]

I wish Deron would figure out that jumping to pass is not a good idea. In fact, I've always considered it to be no-no for a PG.

 

[Jeditiger]

Jazz have now lost 34 of 44 first quarters.

 

[KatieMCR]

Hmm the games tonight and on Tuesday are both on NBA TV. Great now the whole country gets to watch the Jazz suck.

 

[bordelais7]

I wonder if Harpring still gives AK stinkeyes from the announcers' table.

Also, Hayward now leading the league in steps/dribble.

 

[Jazz4ever]

Exactly what sport are the Jazz trying to play?

 

[Ben10]

4 points in the first 6 min of the second quarter. We have to find a way to score

 

[Jeditiger]

Sixers playing good defense, and its magnifying our offensive struggles.

 

[bordelais7]

Hmm. I fully expect to see another surprise lineup change made by Sloan. Probably sometime in April.

 

[honz]

Wow, what a brutal 2nd Q.

 

[Jeditiger]

God, we have no inside presense on offense at all. Millsap is too small - he passes the ball out any time he's close to the hoop and a guy is anywhere near him. Al tries to pump fake the defender to death all the time and just ends up drawing more defenders and has to jack up a shot or pass it out.

 

[Inn Dawn]

Elder Heyword is doing brilliantly. Certainly not worse than Raja Bell or Andrei.
