Jazz @ Celtics

[HammerDunk]

Deron didn't get 10 assist since a while. Tough game for him. I really wish he would have gone to the hoop instead of shoot jumpers at the end. I wonder why Sloan didn't play Koufos a bit more to clog up the lane and help shut down Rondo. Did he think Price would help? I don't get it.

Another lackluster performance from Memo when he should be excelling. He has been my major disappointment with Boozer being out so much, I expected big games from him every night.

Free throws, they are going to be our achilles heel all year long. AK missed half of his. In a game like this on the road, FTs can really keep you in the game if you make them.

still nice game, still way to go without boozer. dont be too frustrated.

What the hell is up with us coming out so flat after half time? What is up with that?

I don't think anyone got it. He wasn't even guarding Rondo. And on the offensive end he bricked 3 wide open jumpers. Harp was awful tonight too. IMO, all minutes at our 2 and 3 positions should go to CJ, Brewer and AK. Let Korver get 2 minutes a game and if he's on, keep him a little longer. Trade Harp and don't play Price unless someone is injured. Deron seems to be getting his shot back along with his confidence to drive to the hole. He just needs to get his head straight. He's making poor decision on both sides of the floor and he's getting frustrated too easily. Memo HAS to step up. He's being playing well below what he should be playing. Getting Boozer back will help us a lot, especially on the boards. If we didn't get killed so bad on the boards tonight, we might have won.

Wish we would of got the win, but I'm happy that we were able to stay in the game. Williams had a tough assignment, Rondo is a good player, especially on defense. I'm a little disappointing on most of the guys except Deron who stepped up big in the 4th and simply needs more time on his ankle, Millsap was obviously a monster, and I think Knight did very well too. Okur was good for a stretch, but in 39 minutes he needs to do a hell of a lot more. Still, it was a good game to watch, we had a shot to win basically with under 2 minutes to go, and for the majority of the game we were with in an arm's reach, tied, or a small lead.

BTW, Millsap's last 12 games: 18.7ppg 11.7rpg 2.6apg 1.8spg 0.9bpg 2.3tov... that's incredible! Screw Boozer, let him walk, or trade his ass for a good player.

Oh, and before you throw out the records with and without Boozer, let me remind you that we had the league's easiest schedule in November, while 7 of our last 12 have been against playoff teams, including the Blazers, Magic, and Celtics.

Harpring's missed lay up was awesome, I called it the second he stole that ball in the second quarter. That guy rules.

[Racer X]

I am calling it . . . the Jazz go a big 0-fer on this trip.

I'm calling your bluff. I say they only lose 1 more. Even though they lost tonight, I am optimistic based on tonight's game. We were 1 good performance from Okur away from winning against the hottest and best team in the NBA. I think they enter the new year with a pretty good record.

While Boozer languished on the bench (and Memo in the paint), Millsap is getting better and better.

Unfortunately, getting Sloan to give KoKo another 10 MPG is a bigger challenge than polishing Man's game.

Is that Korver's dirty stripper name?

[kerplunk]

^^^ I prefer Kyko.

Had my friend tape the game, just got done watching it. The Jazz played well just missed shots down the stretch. Paul Milsap showed that he could start on this team we would just need to get another big to keep our depth. Being from Rhode Island I've got to see Rondo grow over these years and boy is he becoming a leader. Tough loss for the Jazz, never thought i would see this team as an 8 seed. We have some work to do!
