Ugh.. I want to punch Kurt Thomas in the face.

Jefferson is as much in the flow of the game as he's going to be. He's a good player to keep.

Ugh.. I want to punch Kurt Thomas in the face.

I think if you met him, you might think otherwise...

 

[JimLes]

Looks like Horny is trying to explain the basics of a jump shot to Harris.

 

[bordelais7]

Great D by CJ on Tinsley.

 

[heathmc]

Evans is just fun to watch!

 

[Cope]

CJ hot tonight... Let the love fest begin... Until the next 3 games that is.

Tinsley is playing unreal IMO. Watson who?

 

[homertone]

Evans is just fun to watch!

More of a nice pass by Jefferson.. but yeah.. nice dunk.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Howard has looked pretty good out there tonight.. He's got some nice length.

Edit: as I write it he bricks a wide open shot.. nevertheless..

He was leaning left when he shot. Missed left.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

WHAT IT DOE!

Not only is he shooting good, he has 6 rebounds.

 

[freakazoid]

I see no possible scenario where this team doesn't win the title this year.

Corbin for COY.

 

[Jazz4ever]

Jefferson with 3 assists, encouraging.

 

[Cope]

Is Batum everything we wanted Ak47 to become? Burks probably played him the best in the limited time on him.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

The difference between good defense and bad defense is simply taking Mehmet Okur off the floor. The one or two nice shots he delivers just aren't worth the lack of defense and rebounding. There are other guys who can create offense now.

 

[IBProfane]

Lots to be impressed by in the first half. Tinsley looks like our best PG, he was +8 for the half. Big Al has 3 assists, CJ is shooting lights out for the 3rd straight outing if you include the scrimmage. Kanter is already a solid defensive presence down low, something I've been looking for on this team for 4-5 years. Memo still has a pulse but you can't ask him to guard 3's.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Kanter with 2 blocks and 3 rebs in 6 minutes.

 

[GVC]

Yep. Tinsley can play. Definitely looks like the best pure point guard on the team. I'm impressed.

 

[Dr. Jones]

The difference between good defense and bad defense is simply taking Mehmet Okur off the floor. The one or two nice shots he delivers just aren't worth the lack of defense and rebounding. There are other guys who can create offense now.

I thought Memo jump-started the Jazz offense early, disagree with the hate.

 

[bjunior]

A lot better tonight so far!
