I still dig Bat's better. Bobcat's one might be one for the ages I swear.

ROFLMAO at Jazz bench. Are we now officially the whitest most eastern Europeanish team?

The first ever dual slumpbuster.

No, two wrongs don't make a right, and no, multiplying two negatives does not make a positive.

What I wouldn't give to see the Jazz finally get a win in San Antonio.

Hey guys just dropping in to wish you guys the best of luck about your injuries.

I hope all of your injured guys recover fast and don't suffer anymore injuries.

I hate your team to be honest but as a Rockets fan I know how bad injuries suck so I feel for you guys , at least you guys are winning though and you are also can;t be defeated at home.

Thanks, man. Right back at you. It would be nice to see a showdown between the Jazz and the Rockets with both teams at full strength. BTW, what's up with T-mac. I hear he was considering "shutting down". Does he mean for a few games or for the rest of the season?

I'd like to thank you, Sheik, for making me throw up in my mouth a little.

No problem brother. Although Im pretty sure Bat takes the best pic award.

Anybody else find it interesting that Sloan praised Almond in practice yesterday? Said he deserved playing time and is becoming an NBA player and then all of a sudden he is the first guy off the bench. I dont think Jerry has ever been the type to showcase or lie about a players effort to boost his value. So if this is true I find it moronic that KOC declined Almonds option. Even if we didnt keep him it was an option for 1.2 mil contract. Declining his option brought his trade value down.

whats the word on Boozer? How long is he out?

id be lying to myself if i honestly think we can come out with a victory in SA. But we really need this one, i dont want to see this team be the same road team as last year. we can pick up our confidence with a win in SA.

No , he meant shutting it down only for a while , niot for too long and for sure not for the season.

Right now he doesn't look good , he is slow and can't ju,p at all because he has no strength in his knee.

The doctors said though that he can't make it worse by playing so he should play and build strength in his knee and get better as we go.

He talked about shutting it down for a while because he is frustrated by the lack of progress and doesn't like how he looks on the court right now.

The doctors said he should be 100% in 6-9 months , he is currently at month 7.

Good luck the rest of the year except when you play the Rockets Utah fans.

Surprised this hasnt been posted as the news has been out for awhile, but Booz does indeed have a strained quad. He is for sure out against SA and Mem. We will see what happens when we get back home.

Ming Kong! · Post #15 » by **Ming Kong!** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 11:39 pm

We only have 3 foreign players, AK, Okur, and Fesenko. Koufos was born in the US, and raised here. Boozer is not foreigner, since he was born in a US military base in Germany, so I don't even think he's even eligible to play for Germany.

The Jazz have the NBA rights to Ante Tomić (Croatian) and Tadija Dragićević (Serbian).

Ming Kong! · Post #16 » by **Ming Kong!** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 11:45 pm

I expected about 1-3 games for Boozer. I just hope we can get Brevin Knight back tonight.

Okur/Koufos/Fesenko
Millsap/Collins(yikes)
Miles/Kirilenko
Brewer/Korver/Almond
Price/Knight*

Miles would need another huge night, and Brewer needs to get out of his offensive slump, shooting in the low-mid 40s this year. Hopefully Okur feels better this game. If these 3 can do well, and I'm sure Millsap and AK will bring their hustle, then we have a shot, especially if we have Knight there to help Price. We might be short handed Boozer and Williams, but they are short Manu and Parker, which might not be the same, but keep in mind that the Spurs don't have our depth. I think we can manage, but we just need to get our head out of our "lets suck on the road" arse.

Hey man, your team sucks! Anyways, thanks and send Yao my wishes. Fortunately most of the player's injuries are minor, and none require surgery or rehab.
