Lionel said Koofus is in. I'm OK with that. I heard that Collins was hurt while he and his brother Jason were wearing Roller Skates. Williams should not come back too soon. We need him for the playoffs.

Laren said she's been riding a Harley. We'll see you in the Wachovia center. Korver got us some tickets.

This is exciting. D-Will will provide the leadership this team needs right now on the road, even if he can only play half the minutes he usually does.

Couldn't have come at a better time for the Jazz. Deron's mere presence on the court will give the Jazz a boost. Can't wait until game time. Life off. Game on.

I think this is a huge mistake. Williams shouldn't play until they return home. This is only going to cause the team more grieve down the road. We are short-handed even with Williams and will most likely lose 3 out of 4 with or without him.

I'll be watching. Just don't get hurt worse. You are the man! I voted for you for President FYI. Not even kidding. I didn't like either of the candidates so I voted for you. Too bad you're not old enough.

Great news, Deron is the man. Even half a D-Will is better than most everyone else

Need Collins instead | 12:06 p.m. Nov. 11, 2008
Does anyone know when Jarron Collins will be ready? I think he will have a break-out year.

I really hope he isn't rushing back just cause Memo is gone. If he gets hurt again tonight it's going to be a long season.

Okay i can see okur absence because of family illness. But fesenko? regarding your Visa? come on Fes this was your chance you were looking for and Collins needed to be cut long time ago, so we could had a decent backup. and with williams playing I hope he doesn't hurt himself

Koufus | 12:31 p.m. Nov. 11, 2008
He will be fine, although we can expect some rookie mistakes this is what the NBA is all about, be ready when your number is called for whatever reason. This is one way that a rookie can break into Sloans lineup, I just hope he plays well.

Great news! Deron Williams is the true face of this franchise right now. Without him playing, it felt like preseason basketball!

Welcome back Deron!!!!

Listen to coach Sloan rave about Koufos' work ethic. I think that is about as positive a remark about any young player that I have ever heard him make. Does that mean coach is getting soft? I think not. I think it means that Koufos is going to be something special.
Also, welcome back Deron Williams!

I think this is good news, but I'm hoping he's not coming back too soon just because Memo is gone.
