Game 2: Clippers@Jazz, Sat. 11/1 7PM MST

[Racer X]

Good blow out.

TO record was impressive. Knight played really well tonight.

How good has AK been. He has been the difference in both games. He was electric. I wonder if he and Deron have a hard time coexisting on the court. AK needs the ball to make plays, but when you have someone like Deron, you need to have the ball in his hands constantly. This AK off the bench may be brilliant.

Booze seems to be really aggressive to start the season. He wants a big one at season end

Brewer has been impressive to start the season as well. His jumper was down tonight. His defense is also improved from last season. He is moving his feet better. I think Korvers minutes are going to be going down a bit I think.

Where is Memo?

Another terrific game by Boozer. Again, I love what Knight brings. Price wasn't bad either.

AK is the AK of old. He's been amazing. I think sometimes his passes are soo good they are too good. I thought that 'tip in' that he over shot the rim was actually a pass to Millsap for the jam. But, AK and I might be the only two thinking that.

[Ming Kong!]

AK has been my favorite player for some time, and I'm just so happy to him back to his old self. It's weird that it takes coming off the bench to make him regain himself. Doesn't make sense if you ask me, but he likes something about the role better. Hope it lasts, if it does I'd say we might have ourselves a nice comfortable spot at the top of the rankings.

BTW, only 7 undefeated teams remain:

Atlanta (2-0)
Detroit (2-0)
Houston (3-0)
LAL (3-0)
New Orleans (3-0)
Toronto (3-0)
Utah (2-0)

These are the moments when I'm just so glad we still have AK.

nice win, now for the challenge on the road. can we win on the road w/o d-will. i'm kind of doubting it

I'm loving what Boozer's doing so far. It's what everyone was asking him to do in the playoffs last year. He's taking it hard to the basket and basically no one can stop him. I thought he was gonna have trouble with Kaman guarding him, but he made him his bitch. Still, he's not picking up a lot of offensive fouls. Memo is not shooting well, but he's rebounding and playing defense, so that's good. Brewer has been awesome. And AK is the **** man! I love this team.

Anyone else notice how Booz has developed that quick dash to the basket for the easy layup? I never saw him do that last season. He made is look damn easy last night.

Johnson was happy to reward Koufos for his hard work in practice, but joked that he thought the rookie center was so excited, he was going to pass out.

Thats what I like to hear...it just needs to start translating on the court.

I don't think I could be happier with this team. We filled our backup PG spot, Boozer isn't relying on his jumper and seems more focused on D, Kirilenko is back I could see him getting a 5x5 this year, and Okur is putting a lot of emphasis on his D. He's not sending shots away but his D has been impressive so far.

Yup. I think if he keeps up a similar level of play, and the Jazz can get a top 3 seed, that Boozer could go ALL-NBA 2nd team for sure. The dash reminds me a little of Okur developing his little moves to the basket late last season.

Yeah, and maybe a triple double, but AK's always had a hard time getting more than 7 assists even when he can get 5 assists on a nightly basis. I'm most proud about his energy, which is showing up in his defensive numbers, and on the boards. Maybe he would like that 6th man award this season.
