Jazz vs Hornets | Wednesday November 24th @ 7pm

I like how Elson has been playing lately. He seems much more comfortable out there and can actually knock down a jumper from 15 feet unlike a certain Big Fes that everyone is so enamored with. Deron owned it tonight and Big Al looked great, love the passion all around from tonights game. When we play like that we can beat anybody.

Elson is playing pretty well and is a good addition to the team. To counter your point above though, sure Fes doesn't shoot the 15 footer. But unlike Elson, he does all his scoring around the hoop: dunks, tips, baby hooks. Elson never seems to score down low.

- Big Al is coming along nicely.
- Not a big scoring night for CJ, but I still liked his game tonight. Nasty block.
-Watson is looking as good as Maynor lately. Def better than Hart, McBrick etc. I like what I'm seeing from him.
- Price playing smarter, better passing, better shooting. Please keep it up.
- AK is HORRIBLE. No he is not having a good year overall. He's missing lay ups, not getting blocks, can't defend. He's a nightmare for us.
- Sap is a stud. AK see what hard work does for you? See what not leaving right after practice ends can do for your game? Sap has improved his game
a little each year. SAP owns you Klinko. You should carry his bags.

Great game. Deron owned CP3 again. Bring on the Lakers!!

I agree with most of this. Except one thing that makes me you think you are a bit crazy.

AK hasn't been horrible this year. He had a horrible game last night, that's it. Quit freaking out.

He's solid in defensive positioning, and he's decent running the offense despite not being able to score outside of five feet. That makes him, what, a worse version of Ostertag with slightly better hands?

....well, he's a space eater, he's tall, he hustles, he's also clumsy enough to scare the heck out of anybody who get's near him!

No kidding. But the AK hate is strong on the board. All they see is dollar signs.

Now THAT's what I bought NBA League pass this season for!!! Outstanding team basketball all-round by the Jazz. I keep sayin', this team is gonna be special once they all get to know each other's games, and the two rooks outgrow their rookie-ness...
Not worried about AK; he only played 26 minutes, so he'll be well-rested by the time the Lakers come to play us. Raja about the same.

The second courter lineup has the the most fun part of the game. I bet teams guards absolutely hating having to play watson and price. They pressure on defense 100% of the time. I love it.

 

[carolinajazz]

Al registered his 22nd block of the season in his 16th game. Boozer had all of 36 in his 78 games last season. It's nice to see a guy who can hold his own down in the paint.

...what I would like to see or know are the turnover comparisons between Jefferson and Boozer last year and his year. Big Al may have his deficencies but I guarantee you he turns the ball over way less than Boozer did! Those extra 3, 4 or 5 possessions are the difference between winning and losing in most cases!

Right. Fortunately, AK's horrible game coincided with the rest of the team pretty much firing on all cylinders. AK can (and has, from time to time) carry us when much of team is off.

Anywhooo

Go Jazz.
I say the Jazz are amped, and blow them out by 15 at least.

Oh yea.... Honk, Honk

I'm encouraged that Millsap and Jefferson outplayed Okafor and West, both in scoring and rebounding.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I think when you see Millsap out next to other players, he's closer to 6'7" than 6'8" though.

I once saw Miles, Brewer and Millsap all standing next to each other chatting before a RMR game. They were all the same height or so close I could not see a difference from about 20 feet away. So either Cj and Brewer are taller than advertised or Millsap is shorter.
