Streak starter? Jazz hope tough win will help get a run going

Win is win even it was kind of sloppy. JAzz looked tired. What the h... timeout was when 3 on 1.

Time to send CJ to the Thunder for Smith.

Just under 21 Minutes and you give 3 fouls & 4 points.... THIS is why the Jazz are getting off to slow starts. NO Fire, NO Defense & NO Hustle. Get Smith for a big man off the bench.

Put in Price for CJ and watch the hustle return to the start of games.

did I read the scoreboard right? I saw Koufus's number with 11 points and NO fouls at one time in the 4th quarter? I thought He was the one who got a foul a minute then sat down?!!
hey good to see him getting used to the NBA style of play so who needs that LOOZER called BOOZER!?

Great stupid comment! Cj can't even be traded according to the CBA this season. And after this season the one team he can't be traded to is the thunder since the jazz matched their offer.

Wow, I didn't even know about the no trade to thunder even after a year part of the trade rules, nicely done.

I like CJ and all, but if you play for 20 minutes and all you really do is shoot the ball 4 times then you have a serious problem. And that problem isn't about talent or skills or anything like that, it is about heart and hustle.

I am starting to agree with the people out there calling for Almond and Price to get a shot.

Here's the problem though, Sloan has repeatedly said that Brewer is not a SF, and Price and Almond are definately NOT forwards. So if you started Price or Almond in place of CJ you would be starting with what amounts to a 3 guard small ball lineup with 4 out of 5 starters under 6'8" tall.

Miles, you're CJ's biggest stalke...I mean fan, why don't you kidnap..er...sit him down and help him out. tell him how great he is and that he just needs to stop worrying about looking good and start getting after it. The Jazz really do need him to be a factor if they want to be succesful.

I was shocked when they matched CJ's offer... oh well, hope he will improve soon.

BRING ON CHRIS PAUL!!!

They CAN trade CJ to any team but OKC this year... the one thing blocking any trade is that he would have to approve the trade, or something like that (IIRC).

That is my understanding as well... This year, CJ can be traded to any team besides OKC, with his consent. So, he would need to agree to the trade... but couldn't be traded to OKC (this year) even with his consent. (I think....LOL)

Millsap is great!

For pure heart, passion, talent, 19 double doubles and the way he has helped the Jazz with the loss of Carlos Boozer, the Western Conference should select Paul Milsap to the 2009 All-Star Team.
Never let him go!

are in love with CJ. This is going to be very hard on them and "Miles" to watch the whole CJ thing unfold.

The Jazz are the most apathetic, disinterested team I have ever seen. The way they play, it's hard for me to tell if they care if they win or not. Teams that WANT to win play hard all the time. The Jazz play hard sometimes. Occasionally. When they feel like it. And that just isn't going to get the job done.

The Jazz need to start Korver at the two, move Milsap to the three and start AK at the 4 and run them to death.

In the starting lineup Miles is the 5th scoring option. For a 5th option he can be very good. When he gets going he is automatic from outside and takes the ball to the basket very well. The problem I have with Miles is in his spot as one of the last options on the offensive side he doesn't play enough defense. They need to trade him and probably Boozer for a shooting guard and maybe a longer interior defender. Boozer doesn't give the Jazz anything more than what Milsap does and even when he is back and healthy I don't see how you can sit Milsap in favor of Boozer.

I`m sure miles will wake up and start posting excuses for another no show....low post,high post,5 out post,inside post,too many minutes,not enough minutes,on and on...KK boys ( Koufos/Korver) really came in and gave us a spark,as did Ronnie B in the 4th,AK another solid game of the bench,GO JAZZ!!!!

@Magnus

With our line-up now we have 4 out of 5 starters 6'8" or under. So I really don't think it would be a huge difference to put Almond in(besides the fact that neither of them are true small forwards).

Putting Price in though would be small ball, and I wouldn't want a line up that small to begin with, But I wouldn't mind seeing Almond get a shot and see what he does with it.

Amazing what happens when DWill starts off aggresive. Okur and AK continue to be quietly solid

Millsap has done a yeoman's job filling in for Boozer. But and All-Star, after 23 games, come back to reality son.

I agree with the King,,,,

Fast becoming a Koufos fan
