Utah Jazz down Clips, now 3-0

How are the Jazz going to sign both Boozer and Milsap?

Boozer will leave for more money. Werever he goes he will be overpaid, and it won't be to Miami. They have a power forward.

The Jazz have more depth on their roster than the Southeast conference. The only thing holding us back is defense, and we seem to be playing better defense without fouling as much.

why isn't PAUL MILSAP starting at small forword?

God...listening to Clippers annoucers last night was horrific.....Talk about Homers

Little Brevin Knight? Crying AK? C'mon....

I remeber the days of "Little Johnny Stockton" carving them up.

Is it me or they are worse than the Maloof owned Sacremento crew?

B & B I think are pretty fair....

Clips got Clipped. Milsap has developed a turnaround Jay/Lay/Dunk. Booz was watching in amazement. Sap is a STUD! He'll get em all Bucked.

Link is a windmill. When his blades start turning you can feel the warm breeze.

Please spare us the "how I would use Milsap," posts unless you are under 14. Coach seems to be using him in a very intelligent way and our second unit could beat three quarters of the teams in this league. Paul was amazing. Most dominant quarter I've seen by any Jazz player in about 5 years. He beat the Clippers by sheer force of will. Do it again on Wed!

Call the Jazz "the Barbers," 'cause they just "clipped" the Clippers! Now on to the NBA crown!

may have a better result then the trade for Korver. I think that Knight should back up Dwill. He really runs the team smoothly. Hart was the second biggest space taker on the court only ahead of Jarron Collins. GO Knight and GO Sinan, and GO Jimmy's sneakers

Why would you play PAUL MILSAP at small forward? That is stupid then who backs up Boozer? I like how Miles and Brewer are playing the 2 and 3 Brewer should never play the 2 his shot is awful he attacks the rim well and plays good Defense so Brewer should be playin the 3

but let's not forget 2 of their 3 wins were against the 0-4 clippers. I am in LA and it was hilarious to hear the Clippers TV announcers, "and the clippers are getting lit up by 'Paul Millisap'....(long pause)....that's right....'Paul Millsap'" (disbelief and sarcasm because they hardly new who he was)

Brevin Knight I think did a solid job as a backup. The turnovers are down, he doesn't do anything wild and get's the Jazz in their offensive sets quickly.

Don't forget the contributions of A.K. and Memo either. Nice team play, just keep it up and everyone can get some P/T.

oh man the Jazz are the best their 3-0! We're going to win the NBA title this year were so darn good!

Give me a break it's been three games! The Jazz will choke as always. Especially when it comes to playoff time. The Jazz are at best a very mediocre team.

The Jazz have not yet played a contender, but things so far do look encouraging. Milsap and Brewer have definitely improved in the off-season plus Knight has all but locked up the backup one position. AK has been his old self and the truth is that the "second" team with AK, Korver, Knight and Milsap has been better than the staring squad sans-Williams. The bad news is that Miles has yet to show much of anything--Price could get some minutes at the 2. Williams, Brewer, Boozer, Okur, Knight, Korver, AK, and Milsap make a really, really solid 8 man rotation. Price and Harpring could be added in as needed. It looks like garbage time (or D-League where possible) only for the rest--Fes, Kouf, Almond, Collins and unfortunately Miles. Overall--pretty encouraging so far!

Brewer's shot is as good as or better than CJ's. I wish CJ would stop taking long jumpers. He needs to make 3 layups or dunks, before he should be allowed to shoot jumpers.

Milsap can not guard the 3 position. Milsap is a back-up player who brings it every night. But he is not a Boozer who can score 20 every night and haul down 10 boards. If Boozer leaves then Milsap will have to prove himself to be a starter. Right now with Milsap and AK coming off the bench along with Korver we have a great bench play. CJ is fine as a starter with AK getting most the minutes. The starting 5 have so much scoring that CJ fits in fine until AK enters the game. This is the best offensive team the Jazz have ever assembled. Now if they would show some effort on the defensive end, a championship is very very possible for Utah.

Millsap was a beast! but don't forget Boozer put those number in day in and day out! Millsap is going have to prove that he can do that in a consistent level, but I love the Jazz

I agree with SC Jazz Fan about who the best 8 players are, except I think a healthy Harpring is as effective for the team as at least three of those 8. In other words, we're really 9 deep! Maybe 9.5 as Price isn't all that bad. It'll be interesting to see if Kouf gets much playing time over the year (to develop--he shows flashes), or if he gets relegated to the D-League.

When you're deep, any one of those 9 players can get hot in any game and save the bundling by the others. When no one's having an off night and one or two have a Milsap night, unstoppable! This Jazz team has as good a chance as any in getting to the finals this year.

Even though the first opponents have so far been cupcakes, with D-Will out, it's given the two PG backups a chance to gain some confidence and playing time, and allowed the coaches to see just which one should be D-Will's backup. My vote's for Knight. His experience makes him steadier, and that's key as a backup.

D-Will should just chill out awhile longer and be very ready when he's healed.

It's not every day that you can go 0-10 from the 3pt line and still win by double digits. Some teams could never win without making a 3, that's why the Jerry Sloan system is one of the best, and everybody who knows basketball will tell you the same.

I absolutely LOVE to see Millsap step up and play like he did, and I hope this is just the start of things to come. It will make the loss of Boozer alot easier to take.

Bringing AK off the bench sure seems to be working well, he has been playing great so far.

Knight and Price have both been playing very well. They have only 8 turnovers between them in 3 games.

I'm exited for this season, I think if everybody is healthy the pieces are in place to fight for the best record in the west and a Finals run. A mid season aquisition of a solid veteran center would still be nice though.
