It was good to see the 10pts and 10 rebounds, that along with some good defense is about all you want from a center. He doesn't need to be flashy or step out and hit the three, just be a man!

I know that it is preseason but Portland may be falling prey to the to many valuable pieces on the shelf.

What’s to commit about, Portland has a Sorry Team yet again. Dear George, better ingredients better product.

Well considering Portland played only one starter and were leading through about half the game, maybe Utah's the one with a sorry team? Portland played without Roy, Aldridge, Webster, Fernandez, and Blake.

I cannot believe that portland has i'ts starters all on the bench with injuries. what does this tell you about these babies they are bringing in to the NBA. they are not completely developed and not at all conditioned to play this game. what on earth are they going to do when the real games begin. where are all the stockmans and Malones. they just don't make em like those two any-more. Our Jazz play rougher than any team in the leauge. what are the Portland kids going to do when they get knocked around with the knees and elbows scheeeeeze

Fez did much better after disappearing in the Suns game. Maybe he learned a move or two off of Shaq? Good going Fez. Keep it up you are direly needed.

Going to get a serious beating from the Jazz? The way they won last year's matches 3 to 1 without Greg Oden and Rudy Fernandez?

Don't count your chicken before they hatch...

8/9 ESPN guys pikced the JAZZ to have the best record in the Western Conference! I'd call that some LOVE. Especially since the Lakers are getting Bynum back. There's something to be said for a team that can keep the same players for a long period of time. The Pistons and Spurs both won Championships that way.
The Jazz should be able to take advantage of everybody knowing their system early. They should come out of the gate FAST and start well. We'll see.. and I can't wait!
