Exciting game, though. What makes it hard to celebrate is the disease is still alive and well. This team has no offense and there are no signs of one that I can see. Boston might be a bloodbath.
So random to have paul millsap just step up and swoosh 3 3-pointers in the overtimes...
Agreed - The Raptors hit some very low percentage shots early in the game. Would have been easy to hang their head and lose in regulation. Although I wouldn't expect many more wins where The Jazz need Jefferson to hit a 3.
You gotta start off somewhere. We'll know soon enough if it means anything.
All posters who are bashing big AL and Millsap and are calling for their trades should rewatch this game and imagine Favors and Kanter finishing 4th quarter or those overtimes instead. We would have never won this. Young kids are not ready when it comes to gut our wins like this. Sure it would be exciting to see them ball but missing playoffs and being losing team would be not fun. So please, lets stop these ridiculous "trade big AL or Millsap" posts and enjoy what they bring to the table this year. Next year it will be time for youngsters to step up.

Jerry Sloan: "I have to blame myself for Andrei's failure to be able to play at times because maybe I haven't handled him the way he'd like to be and done the right things"
If that Hayward guy could shoot he'd be really good.
"I'm a moron for thinking the Browns could even sniff 10 wins in a division where the other three teams (two of whom almost always make the playoffs) made the post-season last year. Gyp Rosetti's thee God of football knowledge." - Brown Notes
[sarcasm]So another epic battle in the continuing struggle between Enes and Jonas. Valuncunas played an amazing 16 minutes, scoring 10 points and grabbing 1 rebound. He didn't miss a shot or ft.
The triple overtime game allowed Enes to get some much needed playing time. He got to play 12 out of the possible 60 minutes, which was good for 9th most minutes on the team! Enes missed all of his fg attempts, and half his fts. He finished with one point and 3 rebounds.
Clearly the two titans battled each other to another draw. Maybe next time we will learn who is the real big man of the 2011 draft, and the best young European big man in the NBA. /sarcasm]

How many times does big al give up easy looks because of his pathetic P&R defense?
I understand that you're getting all excited from his offensive game. But what about his defensive game?
Perhaps if Kanter and Favors started, this team wouldn't give up so many easy looks and wouldn't have to rely on miracle 3 point shooting from their bigs to win?
Corbin sucks.
