Game thread already? Yup OCT 1 Utah vs Denver

[qman]

Yeah I was listening to the radio, CJ Miles played a huge role. That Kofous guy sounded that he's so tired.

Congrats on the win guys, best of luck.

Hmm that is a good point Koufos was playing in Greece a week ago. He could still just be tired.

Most significantly, the jazz starters played in the +17 range and manhandled the Nuggets. The difference was defensive intensity, as the Jazz created 26 turnovers to only 10 for Denver. Denver shot a higher percentage from the field and scored one point more from the line, but the turnovers were huge. Defense wins on this night, but a tough night for fans having to watch the starters play so little.

Can anyone tell me if AK looked slow or the same? How was CJ's defense?

How long has Kirilenko had the Ricky Schroeder haircut going on?

Also, is it just my speakers, or is Koufos' name said louder than everyone else on their interactive roster?

I just keep hovering over it...haven't gotten tired of it yet.

Koufos. Koufos. Kou...Kou...Koufus ....Koufos.

Matt007,
I heard Kjzz isn't showing a single game this year. Wierd eh? But the good news is Fox sports rockie mountain will show every,... yes every game this year. In past years it has been split with Kjzz or some games have been missed here and there.

So one has to have pay-tv to watch the games (cable, satellite etc), no more games on free local tv

Lets hope the wily media don't go back on their plans.

hey nghedman,

hey sorry didn't see you replied to my question until now, didn't want to come across as ignoring you. Thanks for the reply! And..yeah that..sucks.. figures. The year they pull games from KJZZ is the year I have to cut back on budget. *sigh* oh well.. nuts..guess i'll lurk justin.tv

I would like to know how Millsap did on defense at the small forward spot. The box scores does not show crymello doing much, was that due to good defense or preseason ball?

[UTJazzFan_Echo1]

Did we watch the same game?

In my defense, I just heard Locke rave about his D and upper body strength for 5 mins and didnt listen to much else.

What was Kostas bad luck?

Kosta hustled and played hard. He hung around the rim and had good opportunities they just didn't drop for him. Had a lot of his shots rim out our come off the back of the rim but a lot of the shots he had came from garbage plays and hustling. If he would have made half he shots and made his free throws he would have looked great. The opportunities and effort were there just not the stats.

And a side note, he is one of the only players on the team that can actually set a screen correctly.
