Good win.

The Jazz came back and showed some backbone. Hey a note to Memo we need you to play like you did tonight for the rest of the season. When MEmo Dwill Booze and Cj play like that we will be tough to beat. The TNT crew aren't giving the Jazz any chance to do anything this year. They are giving the Jazz ZERO chance to catch Dallas or Denver in the standings. I still think the Jazz catch the Thuggets and take the 3rd seed. Hey now it's time for the Jazz to go on another 8 9 or 10 game win streak. LETS GO JAZZ NATION LETS GET BEHIND OUR BOYS AND GIVE THEM SUPPORT FOR A PUSH TO THE FINISH.

CL

Didn't get to see the game, but just reviewed the play by play, Williams stepped up big at the right time, Okur hit big shots and believe it or not (all you CJ haters) CJ seemed to have a pretty good 4th quarter. Two 3's a lay up, couple of assists and a rebound or two. 15 pts not too bad. Let's hope he can continue to have reasonably good games like this.
Gaines produces pretty good for he times he gets in the games.
Tough win in Pheonix, behind most of the game and then showed grit and toughness to pull out a road win. Keep it up Jazz.

The Jeckle Hyde Jazz

DWill is back. Memo played well. CJ did also. The Jazz hit 50% of their 3s, a higher percent than 2s.

The Jazz stole PHO blind and rebounded. They played poorly until the end and turned it on.

Sloan got smart and played Gaines and cut Price's minutes. Gaines needs to play most of the time. Price can be really useful in certain situations. Gaines makes mistakes but runs the team better and is a better PG.

Just a random thought/prediction, OJ might be a Kobe killer. KOC may have figured out that OJ could maybe defend Kobe.

I wonder if OJ will pick up the offense/defense fast enough to be of help in the playoffs? I know, a fantasy about Sloan playing a rookie in the play offs. But you never know. Sloan has made some adjustments this year.

You will probably see Mathews/Gaines in the playoffs. Just maybe OJ would match up for a few minutes and make a difference.

Anyway OJ joins the Jazz and they win on the road. Good luck charm.

The Jazz are killers when they hit from the outside and still have their inside game.

This was an encouraging game from CJ and Memo. Why can't they do that every night? Hopefully they will keep this up.

What the?

Amazing 4th quarter, fun to watch.

Still frustrating that the Jazz come out without any energy on the offensive or defensive end. The last few games they have looked so shocked that the other team is playing hard.

good job

jazz!! way to finish the game!

Moral boosting win for the team tonight......
but they need to defend like they did in fourth quarter, from the 1st min. itself.....
IF they do so....they can get deep into playoffs.....
NICE WIN.....but need to concentrate more....and they have to take Clippers seriously on Saturday....
GO JAZZ.........

todd from santa ana

The Jazz mainly theyr'e stars showed credit with determination, confidence and swagger. They overcame Sloan and his poor decisions. Such as not using Fes at all and Phoenix destroying the Jazz in paint points.

DWIL And CJ got hot and stroke 3 balls, Boozer, Kirilenko and Okur all played better, Okur acted like a money man with the 3 ball barrage. SOme nights if you run and gun you can overcome bad defense. The Jazz were only slightly better in the 4th quarter. Phoenix for the game still shot 57 percent. It was more all theyr'e fouls, and turnovers, that combined with the Jazz winning on merit do to the great 4th quarter barrage.

You could say though, if FEs was given the chance, especially at 7 minutes of the first quarter when Okur came out, maybe we never trail the majprity of the game with uphill battle. Maybe we win easier and more decidedly. Robin Lopez abused Okur so much even Jerry had enough of him. Thankfully his shot was on tonight.

Thankful win, it keeps ahead of OK city and Phoenix and keeps within Denver (1 game) grasp.

Tremendous Comeback

What made this win all the better was hearing the Chuckster say that D-Will is the best PG in the league multiple times during Inside the NBA.

I really hope that Utah can keep him around!

Moral Boosting win for the team tonight.....but they need to defend like they did in the 4th quarter , from the 1st min itself.....this team can get deep into the playoffs by defending only....they are pretty good offensively.....GOOD to see Okur stepping up big time....
JAZZ didn't take any team lightly.......and should care themselves against Clippers Saturday night.....
GO JAZZ.......

B.R.

I heared Chuck say that too. " Deron Williams is the best point guard in the NBA "

D-Ralph

I was there. Phx executed their offense almost flawlessly the first half. Lucky for the Jazz that they weren't down by 30 points by half time. I think phx shot around 70% the first half and deserved every one of them. But give the jazz credit, they hung around and got the win when phx finally came back to earth. Great road win! good job Jazz!

Chuck Nunn

Mehmet Okur played huge in this game. He kept the Jazz close in the third quarter, and he hit that big 3-ball. CJ hit big shots, Deron got going, and they also got the ball to Boozer down the stretch too. That comeback was amazing.

Phoenix made a big mistake not staying to its inside game, and the Jazz made them pay ... big time.

To: Jeckle Hyde Jazz

Just curious.. Are you talking about the new guy Jeffers to guard Kobe?

Morals

Indian Fan: I am glad the Jazz are boosting their morals, good for them. I am also happy to see their morale is higher. ;)

Jazz Fanzzz!!!!

When u play Phoenix if u r down and stay within 10 to the 4th,u have a chance, because they use so much energy 1-3 quarters u have a chance,if look at there loses there in the 4th. The Jazz should do well on there road trip!!D-WILL 8 had a great game,lets hope that day's off give him relief for his wrist,it's still a problem,for him, PLAYING WITH PAIN IN YOUR SHOOTING HAND,IS MAJOR DIFFICULTY.. he's AWESOME!!He is STOCKTON ESTX!!!! REMEMBER 8 = 12!!!! GO JAZZ NATION!!!!

Ute Alum

Nice win Jazz!!

vwag

This is the game as booz would say they "got their SWAG back"

to: JAzz Fanzzz

D Will is surely not the next Stock. Stock played every game perfect and never injured. His defence as well as clutch time shooting are far far far better. D will is no wonder an all star level player but not a hall of fame player at this moment. I can see him make progress in next year but most probably he will not be a player at stockton level. D will may get better achievement with a champion ring as he has better players around him.

SWEET!! GO JAZZ!!
