Jimmy also noticed Hart didn't get into the game, but wasn't sure if that was due to his back flaring up or coach's decision. Jimmy hopes for the latter.
1 - the game wasn't even that close (15 point lead), so why have the booze in right up until the very last second?
2 - that last assist to Price? Come on....
3 - I didn't think Sloan cared about stats but they ALL new what was going on with less than 2 minutes to play.
4 - Booze hasn't been doing so "all star" like lately so maybe this will be good for his ginormous ego - not to mention something nice to add to his tags on his FERRARI (3x2).
THE JAZZ WILL TAKE NEEDED REST
THE JAZZ WILL BE READY FOR THE WARRIORS
RP WILL GET MORE MINUTES
RP WILL NEED TO PLAY TOUGH D ON ELLIS AND DAVIS
THE JAZZ GOT THE WARRIORS # JUST LIKE THE SAC QUEENS HAVE OURS
As for not counting the triple double; are you serious? Who cares if everyone knew and wanted Booz to get it? He deserved it. Last night was one of the best team-effort offensive games I've seen in a long time. We should be congratulating Booz, not complaining that a PF dished out 10 assists.
The 2x2 is just like the 4 minute mile. A year or two after that happened it was news. Today, if a track runner can't get under 4 minutes they're not on the team. So Boller, lay off the 2x2 and wait till they get close to the 3x2 or better yet, the 5x5. Almost switched to listening to Hot Rod...Boller call the game and just hope Booner has something of relevance to add.
To the guy complaining about Double-Doubles being worthless, I have to disagree. Boozer is ranked #3 and D.Will #9 in Double-Doubles. Neither of them play more minutes than most of the premier players on any team. So to score a Double-Double on a consistent basis is more telling of a player's ability than being able to get a 3x2 once or twice a year. Williams and Boozer are both consistent players, and to average a 2x2 is indicative of that.
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT D-WILL SHOULD GET THE NOD. IF WHINEU GINOBILI GET SELECTED OVER D-WILL ILL BE VERY UPSET!! HOW DO THE CAVS BLOW THAT GAME TO THE SPURS??
CROSS THE FINGERS FOR D-WILL
I was a little disappointed that it took the jazz so long to put the sonics away. While Memo was a beast down low, we could've used his (and Korver's) 3-bomb.
Congrats to Boozer. However, I'm still waiting to see the intensity he had last year in the playoffs emerge this season.
Are you kidding me. Boozer's triple double is as ligit as Lebron's or Kobe's. If he played the enitire game like they do i'm sure he'd get more of them.
