    Game thread: Game #15 : Timberwolves at Utah, Saturday 01/21/2012 7:00 PM MST

    After watching not-anymore-pesky Minny a couple of times this year, I thought that Ricky stopped flopping after he came overseas to play NBA basketball. You should know that nearly every Spaniard basketball player (elder Pau, Rudy etc)or players like Oberto, Manu, Scola who have played either in...

    Favors/Dirk Incident; What Would Harpring Do?

    Dirk would not slap the ball. That would not happen against Harp. Dirk knows it.

    If Howard goes elsewhere, Williams is likely to leave New Jersey

    If Magic had spent the money wisely, now they would be in a situation in which a trade bringing Dirk or Brook Lopez in makes them a competitor immediately or in 2 years, which means Orlando would have a lot more flexibility and freedom in choosing trade partners. Now, we will see yet another FA...

    Talking about Minny, do not miss Griffin vs Love matchup tonight. Minny will be on back end of a b2b. They are a fun group of guys to watch. Rubio is a STUD, despite the fact that he is yet another flopper Spaniard. I hope he decided to give up on flopping after coming overseas. I can't...

    Your Totally Awesome All Purpose Devin Harris Trade Thread Master Thread

    I know Calderon from his European competition days, he has NEVER been even an average defender. He is a great passer, a consistent, reliable threat from outside but his stats does not mean much after realising that he was one of the main reasons why Raptors have always been a terrible defensive...

    Your Totally Awesome All Purpose Devin Harris Trade Thread Master Thread

    Say no to Calderon... No way. Is it all about assist #'s ? Come on.

    The problem I have with tonights loss

    Actually, you should be OK with Marion getting 22 pts when CJ comes off the bench to chip in 17, and more importantly when you hold Nowitzki to 12pts and get him mentally out of the game. The Jazz played very well in 2nd half. IMO, the biggest problems were - Mavs gave the Jazz good looks...

    Point Guard Situation: Poll

    #4 Calm down and wait for next couple of games. See how Harris responds. The Jazz, anyway, do not have high hopes for playoffs, at least that's how many fans here thought the way it should be starting the season, right? All the talk about "youth movement" should result in them doing some...

    Your Totally Awesome All Purpose Devin Harris Trade Thread Master Thread

    Hinrich fits better in 1st unit of Jazz, and Harris would be a better fit for a running, athletic Hawks. Both are good defenders. Do not know wheter he is injury-prone, or coming from a serious injury, but I would not mind him on Jazz.

    Should the Jazz go after Steve Nash?

    If the Jazz trade for Nash just for the fact that Harris is a shot-first guard who apparently failed to mesh in the system of Jazz, and Nash is a great facilitator, past-first guard who can score when needed; - they should be very confident that "horrible" or lemme say "non-existent" defense of...

    It really is amazing what this team has been able to do with no shooting.

    Yes, the Jazz have no consistent shooters to balance the inside scoring of Millsap-BigAl duo, and that will probably cause the Jazz to lose much more frequently once teams well-coached like Mavs decide to take either Paul or BigAl's offense. In those situations, BigAl tends to force too many Js...

    Game #12 Jazz@Denver, Sunday 1/15 6:00 p.m.

    Win or lose, I think the most important thing is to see the Jazz play like a team, a team that does communicate well and plays hard, and to see them not gaining bad habits from previous games. Nuggets have the fastest game pace in the NBA right now. Mozgov have exceeded the expectations. The...

    Game #11: Nets at Jazz, Saturday 01/14/2012 7:00 MST

    I love the fact that the Jazz have gained the habit of getting the ball inside every posession. Now, the next step is getting BigAl pass the ball to the curl man and slashers, if they are any.

    Jerry Sloans to the wizards or nets?

    Not to NJ, because of big market (Brooklyn) and Deron. Not to WAS, because of too many streetballers, ballhogs, headcases. There are lots of teams that would like to have him but I think his choice would be teams like Pacers, Blazers, Grizzlies.

    Game #11: Nets at Jazz, Saturday 01/14/2012 7:00 MST

    We should bring in Deron in ESA more than once a year, I guess. Everybody seems to play much harder :)

    Game #11: Nets at Jazz, Saturday 01/14/2012 7:00 MST

    The fact that Nets' 2nd unit led by Deron/Farmar has outplayed ours is not good at all.

    Game #11: Nets at Jazz, Saturday 01/14/2012 7:00 MST

    The Jazz showing no mercy... Great perimeter defense on Deron and Brooks, like I said, Nets have no balance on offense. However, the difference has been the dominance of our frontcourt against Memo and Hump + Deron's cold shooting. Nets will have a 3pt show in 2nd half. Watch out Mixed...

    Boo Satan

    https://www.deronwilliams.com/blog/utah-brook-and-getting-better/2012/01/13 Return to Utah, and some other stuff from Deron's blog. Read and decide to/not to boo after that, IMO.

    Free throws

    Arrive early, leave late... It's all about individual work, dedication. Whatever coaches, special trainers can do for a player's shooting development is limited.
