Great game for Korver tonight. Miles and Brewer looked good as well. These three guys are really key to our succuss. We need 2 of 3 to play well every night to be sucessfull. Lately we've been lucky to have one play well.

Game ball goes to Hot Rod Hundley who called out his 3,000 game. It was nice to have them switch over to him on TV. I forgot how much better he is than Craig "working on a double-double" Bolerjack.

Finally Korver had a good game. I bet you were more happy than Kyle's mom. Too bad your enthusiasm was tempered by a solid game from C.J.

Why can't I find Korver on the All Star ballot?

CJ is not eligible for the D League.
Only 1st and 2nd year guys can be assigned.

I love seeing how the media covers Hornets and Chris Paul games. They win a game and Paul has banner headlines all over ESPN, YahooSports, etc. on how great he/they are. However, they get trounced by the Jazz and there is virtually no mention of it other then how "the exhausted Hornets coming off of the Lakers game" got beat. Hahaha. I was also glad to see that with my $185 NBA League Pass investment on Direct TV that I was still able to watch the Jazz. What a relief. Oh yah, Millsap is a beast!!!

I wasn't impressed with the Hornets heart. Down 20 to start the 4th quarter and they pull their starters.
ljk, check the ESPN NBA page and this game is on the front, and the stories are saying how the injured Jazz team beat up the Hornets.
People need to give props to Okur. He had a huge game!

Okur | 8:26 a.m. Jan. 8, 2009
Okur is under-appreciated on this tea. People say he is slow and doesn't play D. I tend to disagree. He has shed some pounds this year, and for a guy that is 7'+, he moves pretty well. That dunk he had in the first quarter last night was pretty good for a guy his size. Think of Shaq or Yao or Oden moving that quick. It doesn't happen. And he spreads the defenses so well with his outside ability. I like his game and I think he honestly works hard out there.

I thought it was interesting that greedy KJAZZ ran a ticker during parts of the game encouraging DTV customers to call and complain about the game not being shown...hello, McFly, the DTV customers couldn't see the ticker as KJAZZ is blocked. Anyway, it is not worth switching to Comcast or DISH for just a few games. Hey KJAZZ: isn't getting marketing dollars enough for you to operate at a profit? If not, you should get out of the business. I hope your marketing dollars dry up and you go away.

I agree that Memo is under appreciated. He carried us through hard times and has played injured on many occasions. He gives us everything we want to see from Boozer. I love his game and want him to remain a Jazz man for the rest of his career. The guy is humble and just a great team player, much like Millsap and company.

Boozer's Raise | 9:04 a.m. Jan. 8, 2009
The Utah Jazz will not be giving Boozer a raise after this year. He said he is getting one and so it will have to be with another team. Millsap's stock is rising each day. We can't afford to keep Boozer, Millsap, and Okur. I have to admit Okur is amazing for the jazz. I would have never guess he had 20ish points yesterday. He silently does his thing.

Give Millsap a few post moves this summer and we have no need for Boozer. He can go rob another team. His defense if far better than Boozer's.

Don't look into this game too much. New Orleans was on the last game of a road trip and had just dominated the Lakers on their home court the night before. Paul way outplayed Deron last night so where are all the Paul fans today?

Sloan's All-Stars | 10:09 a.m. Jan. 8, 2009
You can add Millsap to the growing list of All-Stars produced in the Sloan system. Boozer has no idea what he's getting himself into when he thinks he can take his sorry 2/3 game anywhere else and do as well. Oh, wait a minute, now I remember -- it's not about his game, it's about how much money he can make. Well, let's just hope Utah isn't stupid enough to reinvest in the injured malingerer after this season is over. Let him opt out and be gone.

How about "hangs on a pivot" Bolerjak. No one will ever come up with anything as sweet as "a gentle push, a mild arc and the cowhide globe hits home." Way to go Hot Rod -- you're the best!

"Paul way outplayed Deron last night".

The only thing Paul did was take 11 more shots then D-will. It obviously didn't help his team at all. Maybe if he concentrated more on getting his teamates into the game, then just getting his stats, they wouldn't have got blown out. Most of his 7 assists were passing to David West(or someone else)and him creating a shot for himself. If Deron wanted to score, he easily did. Every time he did drive he easily got to the basket. But it was unnecessary because he was keeping his teamates involved.

I have to agree with Sloan's All Stars. Let Boozer go. He'll find that the only reasons he prospered were DWill and Sloan's system. With anyone else he'll be just like he was in Cleveland; a sub.

You must have missed the part about Deron being really sick and Sloan and company thinking he wouldn't be able to go at all. He still had more assist and the head to head 9-2 is more impressive than stats.
