Jazz @ Spurs

[HammerDunk]

Seemed lie a lot more pick and roll plays tonigt. Was good to see.

I also noticed Sloan calling in a lot of plays, maybe they have gone back to that system instead of having Deron call the plays. I don't know if he called them all, but I noticed a lot.

I can't remember the last time i was this happy to be .500

These upcoming home game should help but we need our shooters to get healthy

Time for the homestand against a bunch of mediocre teams. Don't blow this Jazz

I'm pissed the one time the Jazz win against the Spurs, i can't be there to watch it.

Geez, i'm watching small bits and pieces on youtube (..missed the jazz game, dang I need cable bad.. ) wish I could watch the 4th quarter replay to see the end of that drought! (why doesn't KJZZ replay games.. seems like they'd get some people watching instead of scrubs every night..)

Also just looking at stats, AK's game has improved and Fes (one of my favorites) is really looking like a good quality center playing a good amount of time (especially for what we're paying him!)

Well I'm going to own up and eat crow, I was calling for boozer to be traded near the trade deadline for S. Jackson, and I was bashing Boozer left and right for what he did in the summer (or what he didn't do..) ..looking at the numbers boozer is playing very well...so my bad, I was wrong. Officially back on the thumbs up boozer side.

Go Jazz!

big time thanks for @andrew helping me out..russian announcers didn't bother me one bit kind of cool actually.."kirelenka"

now that I've watched the game, wow what a fourth quarter! some things I noticed..

M. Bonner..sometimes kills the Jazz with his 3's..this game I lost track how many moving screens he did..felt bad for the guy no doubt many spur fans were upset with his play *if there are any! their board is dead on realgm!*. AK was making him look awful!

Spurs, they miss Ginobli and parker..no doubt, if Ginobli is out for a long period of time then they are sunk, literally. It was like watching a weak spurs team trying to run the Jazz offense. They just had zero reserves, and nobody to create. Duncan is still an amazing center..but he was doing it all basically on his own down low. Another thing was hardly ANY zone..there was a little but the Jazz were cutting and screening all over the place it never effected the Jazz (which is a shock..) but i'm surprised the Spurs did hardly any zone.

R. Brewer, love the reverse jam..the steal and jam..the defense as far as steals and a great block..buuuut... I hate his outside shooting, WORK ON THAT there were times when they would just leave brewer alone. Reason he slashes the basket so much is because the defender backs off of him and doubles down.. Korver should help a little here when he gets back but I hope brewer starts getting lessons from hornecek..(and CJ..hopefully)

Boozer, like I said before - I'm owning up to that one, awesome game..he was clutch in that 4th. Awesome play, I only saw the one play late in the 4th but he actually had a few "foul and one" situations. He's off my trade table now.

AK, good game..one point in the fourth he took one awful rushed shot, and also late in the game the player he was defending totally blew past him (jefferson I think) but overall I was happy.

DW...great game, looked focus - I like the Maynor out there at the same time too...in the late stage of the 3rd quarter we let them back in, not sure what the deal is..lineup issues or chemistry but it's the late 3rd quarter is when things fall apart.

Matthews, good game..solid player..he didn't make many shots but least he can dribble and penetrate and cause problems!

Fes, I still like him but he was foul prone..seemed to over-correct when he was trying to rebound and actually got out rebounded a few times. He wasn't involved in the offence ..the Jazz lineup of Milsap/Boozer was pretty effective. I think Fes is suited for the Shaq's and heavy centers of the world but still I wish the Jazz would run one or two plays for him.

Milsap... good game, rebounded..shot well.. defence I can't complain about him.

Kosta...eh... he's behind Fes, which I did not expect..still hope to see Sloan give him some green light to shoot.



Anyway since I rarely see a game, figured I'd chime one of my rare reviews in. San Antonio minus their shooting guard looks very sluggish offensively. Great game thanks @ndrew!

In light of Tim Donaghy's revelations, I'm guessing that the officials were having a little "how many moving screens can we call on Bonner" contest...
