Who was the moron that was behind President Monson, flirting, showing off, and
putting bunny ears on President Monson? That was very disrespectful. I did
that to Starbury a few years ago.... but c'mon, that wasn't right.

That's nice to see that the players filled the blanks very good and showed
everybody that the Jazz is good even shorthanded. As going to the playoffs, we
saw one more time that our bench is ready for the playoffs.
GO JAZZZZZZZZZZZ

Another good solid game. It was big to see Boozer and Williams step up and show
their leadership when they were short handed for the night. I know it' only
the Clippers they were facing, but being able to come together like that and
still play well under these circumstances anyway is huge. Keep it up guys and GO
JAZZ!!
Deron in March | 6:46 a.m. March 29, 2008
Ok I know it's never going to change, but the national media needs to at
least acknowledge the month of March that D is having. He is KILLING every
point guard in the league this month. Go to ESPN and look at D-Will's
averages for March alone, it's amazing. 20.5 points, 13 assists, 3.5
boards, 1 steal, and all the while stroking from the field at 52%, and 38% from
three. Give me a break ESPN and show some love. Better yet, just stay ignorant
so D-Will can jump up and humiliate everyone in the playoffs again.
They'll have to pay attention after this post season...

Are you people kidding me? The short-handded Jazz team defeated a pathetic
Clipper outfit that also beat the Jazz in a horrible loss at Los Angeles the
last time they played. That loss among several others to lesser nonplayoff
teams is going to come back and haunt Utah when the playoffs start. This
Western Conference race is just unbelievably tight. The Laker loss to Memphis
last night despite Kobe netting 53 also hurt Lakers. If the Jazz have any
chance to secure the first, second, or third seed in the west they must finish
their homestand of 5 games by not losing anymore games....period....that
includes winning over SA, Den, and Hou, which may be a tall order. I still have
them losing three out of the last four roadies....NO, Dal, and SA...while
winning only at Min....actually if they are at all serious about the playoffs,
then they should sweep the road games as well.....otherwise it will be bleak.
How's that for optimism, you Jazz afficionados? I do give credit, where
credit is due, by saying that Juan Carlos Boozer and D'Will were fabulous
last night...however the Clippers are no barameter for greatness for anyones
scoring prowess. Come on!!!
Go JAZZ!!!!

After D-Will's performance, we can be certain that Chris Paul will post a
40-20 in his next game, and he'll probably dunk over two centers at once.
It just seems like every time Deron does something awesome, CP3 one-ups him.

the jazz are amazing
Chris Paul Dunk? | 9:22 a.m. March 29, 2008
Has he dunked over anyone this year?
lamonte | 9:26 a.m. March 29, 2008
MTN - CP3 IS amazing. But D-Will is still the right point guard for the Jazz.
Both of them found the right home. Good for both of them. But Go JAZZ!
PurplePeopleEater | 10:06 a.m. March 29, 2008
Hey MTN, how many times has CP3 won over D-Will face to face in their careers?
Dismal record for CP3--unbelievable record for D-Will. Even at the All-Star
break D-Will bested CP3.
D-Will's career will outshine CP3's over time, simply because of his greater durability factor, and the fact that he can do things CP3 can't due to body size and strength. (Maybe that's the reason D-Will keeps beating his good friend when the two teams match up.)
BTW, they both played at Boston recently, and guess who won and who lost? Yup, D-Will bested CP3 again.
Boy, are Jazz fans lucky to have gotten D-Will than CP3. He's a much better fit for this organization.

And he'll be about as successful, too.
DERON | 10:45 a.m. March 29, 2008
DERON WILLIAMS!! DERON WILLIAMS!!! DERON WILLIAMS!!!! There my chant or you
DERON! I'll try to get people around me at he next game to chant!
wzfan | 10:59 a.m. March 29, 2008
ya know what mr cp3 francis
I don't seem to recall cp leading NEW ORLEANS to ANY post season round victories since he joined them??
maybe I"m wrong since I don't give a flip about cp or NEW ORLEANS until dwill playes against him and most of the time makes him look like a D-league player in comparison .
last night shows what dwill can really do when he has too--most of the tine he's more concerned keeping his teammates in the game and happy and NOT worried about personal stats. MY kind of player!!!
cp is a good player but why do you idiots have to come up with bs about cp every time williams is mentioned?
get over it!! cp is good but d-will is better especially for the JAZZ so live with it and go back to fawning over the lakers!
GO JAZZ!!!

Now win one in Minn...
open your eyes | 1:04 p.m. March 29, 2008
common those who are comparing d will and cp3 just because d will wins the game
doesnt mean he is better.....was steve kerr better then stockton just cause he
won in the finals? i love jazz and dwill for that matter he is 1 of the best in
the nba but cp3 is on a team where the offence is ran different and he has to do
alotmore to get his team to win. the jazz are much deeper but the offence doesnt
allow d will to be recognized as mvp candidate like cp3
Chad | 1:57 p.m. March 29, 2008
Open your eyes....I think the word or phrase you are looking for is "come
on" or more colloquially "c'mon". But "common" is
just a common word that even common folks know, get it?
But D'Will and Booz are anything but COMMON. They were fantastic last night. I love how fans seem to forget that all of these players on EVERY team are good enough to beat anyone else at any given point in time (look at the Lakers game last night). What Booz and D'Will did last night was amazing and worthy of the effort. To call it anything less just cheapens it and does not recognize that playing at this level in a spot as intense as basektball shows they are truly world-wide premier athletes and we are lucky to be able to watch it with a front-row seat.

I love the Jazz! Go Jazz!
Anoymous | 4:55 p.m. March 29, 2008
I love the Jazz too!!! GO JAZZ!!!
As long as the media is going to compare DWill and CP and the fans are going to chant for their favorite, meantime rivalries are good and healthy. Just don't take it too far and all will be well.
Good job DWill and Booze for stepping up for sick players. It was a GREAT game!!!

Okay, I have to say it. I am tired of hearing the comparisons between the two,
but since we keep bringing it up... D Will is not on the deeper/better team this
year. Let's go head to head: CP3 v. D Will, I will save for later; MoPete
v. Brewer, Brewer has had a good year and will continue to improve, but today
MoPete is still the better player; Peja v. AK, no contest, AK could be a better
overall player if he was motivated and wasn't made of glass, but Peja will
always be one of the best shooters the league has EVER had; Boozer v. West,
Boozer wins, but not by much and West tries on the D side of the floor; Memo v.
Chandler, Chandler would answer all of the Jazz's problems, nuff said.
LVJazzFan | 6:14 p.m. March 29, 2008
CP3 v. D Will. CP was rookie of the year, MVP of the Rookie team, in the
running for MVP of the Rookie-Soph challenge last year and is in the running for
Leage MVP this year. Putting up monster numbers in assists points and steals
and his team is the best in the west today. You as a Jazz fan may feel that in
the long run D Will will have a better career, but the only way to know that is
to wait until their careers are over. Right now, CP3 is the better player on
the better team.
PurplePeopleEater | 7:04 p.m. March 29, 2008
Hey, LVJassFan, your opinion is fine, but wrong. Back it up with stats, like
head-to-head team wins. If NO has better starters overall, then why have the
Jazz beat them so often?
D Will > C3PO | 7:09 p.m. March 29, 2008
Take away the teams and let these two go head to head and let's see who is
the best...oh wait, didn't that just happen during the All-Star weekend?

Re: Chris Paul Dunk? | 11:06 p.m. March 29, 2008
Has he even dunked it at all?
CO2 | 12:38 p.m. March 30, 2008
Playoffs will determine who is better. Jazzy D-Willy King Pin will be the better
player in the playoffs. CP3 will get rocked by the King Pin.
