Jazz vs. Thunda

[The Sheik]

If we could make a FT this would kinda be a game.

[@ndrew]

Yeah, we need to rent T-Mac for a couple of minutes...

[The Sheik]

You know we lost this game because Bat brought a slump buster into the thread. that big bottomed bitch effed everything up.

[The Sheik]

Kosta has more O-boards than AK has boards.

[@ndrew]

W in this game could push us ahead of Portland.. oh, well..

[The Sheik]

This game is like the exact opposite of what Hollinger said the other day.

3. My preseason pick of Utah to win the West isn't looking real hot so far, but don't count out the Jazz just yet. Even with all their injuries, the Jazz have moved up to No. 5 in the Power Rankings after impressive wins over Detroit and Indiana, and the fact Carlos Boozer looks like he'll be back for the second half of the season is a huge boost to their fortunes.

One key for the Jazz is they're defending much better than in the past. Utah enters Tuesday's game ranked a solid seventh in defensive efficiency, after hovering between mediocre and awful for nearly the entire post-Stockton-Malone era.

They've done it by toning down the physicality just enough to eliminate all the unnecessary free throws they used to give out. The Jazz rank 25th in both opponent free throw attempts per game and fouls per game, which isn't great, but last season they were 30th ... and it was a distant 30th, a fact made abundantly apparent by Kobe Bryant's free throw parade against them in the second round last season.

[Ming Kong!]

No Millsap, Boozer or Miles. I'm not surprise we're loosing on the road. On the road, and with a depleated roster, we're basically the worst team in the league tonight.

[The Sheik]

Its not a ball game till Brewer misses a wide open layup and Collins has a turnover.

The silver linning is Duiz lost and that guy lost money.

[The Sheik]

KOC: Hey Joe!
Joe D: Kevin.
KOC: Let me be frank. I will lick the lollipop as the kids say it, if you trade me RIP for an injured Boozer.

[@ndrew]

****. I can't believe it.

[wiff]

Your team lost because you had no beef in the paint. No Boozer, no Milsap...I don't care how bad the Blunder are you aren't going to win with those two out and Okur camped out at the 3pt arch.

The Blunder are bad but they are an NBA team with some talent.

[schneiderjazz]

The Thunder have not been so bad lately. But what really pisses me off about this game is getting outrebounded this badly. You can't expect to win a game when you don't give a ****. Looks like the jekyll and hyde thing won't change this year. It might actually get worse.

[Racer X]

Wow. AK . . . 1 reb. That is what you need from your starting 4. Wonderful.

[ljp24]

spell our name right the nxt time. k thx

[Reckless]

spell our name right the nxt time. k thx

losing to a team that calls itself the Thunder..now that's turrible

[carrottop12]

Well what a bummer. How nice would it have been to have gotten a rebounding boost from Millsap tonight.

What a miserable effort tonight.
