A few things:
Obviously huge game by Boozer -- Jazz are crazy if they don't try to re-sign him. No PF in the league plays the P&R better than he does.
Jazz don't win this game without the play of Ronnie Price to open the 4th quarter.
Finally, CJ Miles made some very nice drives and passes. Who knew he could run the pick and roll like that? I've been a big critic of the kid, but he has looked MUCH better the last few games.

Good team effort and a win when Dwill plays poorly. Game ball to Boozer but Ronnie Price energy and key shots in 4th qtr turn the tide. This team playing so well as a team with no egos. They vote for each other and share the ball. Its extremely impressive basketball. What Marcus Camby for the LAC did on the court, and does every game, would help the Jazz win it all. Get it done KOC!!!
Top 4 seed in the West!!! Guaranteed!!!

Happy we didnt quit, but my only criticism is how does AK get 1 rebound in 33 mins? Memo, AK and Brewer got as many rebounds as Deron. That is pathetic.

Yeap... it's amazing what we fans use to think of our own players... that's why rich, well centered people runs the teams.... I really wanted Boozer gone, and the only tiny doubt about it always was Sloan backing him up big time every chance he has... being such a big Sloan fan I should have known better...

In my eyes some Clippers were allowed to push people big time on the boards while Jazzmen weren't allowed....

Re: Jazz @ Clippers - 8:30 PM MT
Thoughts:
- we started out playing pretty well offensively but defense was a step slow for the most part and being a step slow leads to lots and lots of free throws for the clippers, they had a big advantage in that area
- craig smith was a big player for the clips , he's got the big weight advantage on millsap so he can just bull his way into the lane and score and get rebounds, he had a very efficient night for them
- b-davis looked a lot better than I last saw him but no excuses for the blown layup at the end, that was huge because d-will was playing like crap when he got subbed back in for...
-ronnie price played one of his best game of his jazz career, came up with some big 3's and steals, he was the player of the game for the jazz
- kirilenko struggled, a couple tough calls didn't go his way and i think that really threw off his game
- boozer had as efficient game as i've seen from him, he really carried the jazz offense through some rough offensive stretches and played great defense down the stretch.
- i know ronnie brewer doesn't shoot a lot of free throws but he's getting 1 out of 2 seems like every trip nowadays, a big dropoff from what we saw from ronnie at the line only a couple years ago, he needs to get in the gym and practice his ft's
- with CJ it's a love/hate relationship, i don't think he's as good as shooter as jazz think he is(i'd much rather prefer Korver's shooting) but he passed the ball well and played with a lot of energy.

I thought the Clips played hard in that game on top of Deron having a bad game. No one could hit a jumper. It was a good win.
That one was for all the Ronnie Price haters.
