Utah is going to be a dangerous team if they are healthy. Very impressed with their fight. I know Joe Johnson won't go supernova every night, but they have showed that they've got good depth. They deserve a season in which they aren't so injured.

Now, now Lamar Hurd will understand that Chief putting it on the floor leads to.. things..

Chief has gotten better at putting it on the floor though, I used to feel like he would turn it over every-time he put it on the floor now its like a 65-75% chance he does something reasonable with it on the floor.

Well we kind of need them for offensive reasons, do you suggest we bench all 3?

It's called, make a defensive adjustment. Like take Crabbe out and put a bigger player in!

We got lucky! Hot 3-point shooting with Lillard being Lillard. But that defensive strategy against Joe Johnson was just f'ing awful! There was no excuse for not making an adjustment on that one. Thank goodness the Jazz went away from that strategy down the stretch. I bet Jazz fans are pissed off about that!

STATISTICAL ANOMALY ALERT: Both teams were 38/38 combined from the free-throw line tonight. 1 FT from matching the record. The record? 39-Utah at Portland, December 7, 1982.

I LOVE THIS TEAM UP AND DOWN.

Lillard just gave a CHAMPION attitude answer to that MVP chant question.

Golden State laid an egg tonight. I had both games going at the same time. The arrogance of GS was laughable. They came into this game acting like they just needed to show up and they win the game. And even when they were down by double-digits, anytime they made a great play, they celebrated with arrogance. Love that this attitude of theirs bit them in the ass.

Isn't that how they lost the finals?

We had plenty of fire power from Dame and CJ tonight. You put in Harkless or put in Vonleh (who was excellent tonight) at the 4 and move Aminu to the 3 position.

Team is deep enough to have bad games from Hark, Plumlee and Turner, with Ezeli injured... and still look fairly deep.

How do people feel about another season of the Trivial Milestone Challenge?
