Man! Evans is such a beast!

Go Jazz!

Love it when CJ plays well, it makes it easier for the rest of the team.
Love how Evans played, love his potential.
DWill playing great ball right now.
AK good game 12 pts 4,4,4,1,.
Fes brought energy, hustle, banged and intimidated, had a great plus / minus.
Big Al's 6 blocks show he can be a factor in that area.
Here's hoping the Jazz get after it on these road games and come home with another undefeated road trip.

The 2nd unit did a great job again tonight, as they have the majority of the season. Fes 4 boards while in, but he affected shots around the rim, and deferred some penetration. The Jazz did well defensively all night except again giving Golden State open 3s from the Corner. Even Boone discussed how they have to rotate. Golden State was feisty for 3 quarters. Wright was solid, Williams who does nothing was allowed to shoot one 3 after another in the first quarter. We did a good job on Lee like I thought we could because he is a grinder but only 6'7. He struggled 3-15, but his work ethic got free throws and finished with 18. He gets the most out of his ability. Fortunately, Ellis was quiet until well into the 2nd half.

Millsap was usual solid. Fes had some good moments and filled some of Elson minutes. AK was more active tonight, shot better and handled the ball better as the game wore on. Watson excellent running point. Evans helped spur the Jazz many times, incredible leaping, athletic ability. We need more of him.

DWIL helped pull game away in 4th great shooting.

I'm loving the team we got this year. Big Al with 6 blocks... Oh YEAH!

AJ was great on the blocks, I ran out of room on the first post. I was going to conclude by saying outside of DWIL, the biggest factor in pulling away with 11-0 run to go up by 15 and maintain, was CJ>

His game was complete tonight, there is little bad I can say, he was terrific in all areas. He and Evans were critical to get the crowd pumped and we played our best ball when they were in the game....

Went to the game tonight, loved it! Have a great team this year. Have to say I love Hayward, and I want him to shine, but man he looks lost out there. Hope he makes it in time.

plus/minus advantage happened both times Fes was in the game. The play-by-play is pretty clear. Size matters,

This Jazz team could be a real contender if Okur contributes. I was a little worried about how he would fit in, but the last couple losses have helped me be more excited for him to come back. We can use his outside shooting and keep Millsap and AJ fresh. Depth at center can never hurt and neither does an outside shooter who can consistently knock it down. CJ is too streaky.

AJ's blocks were awesome. Who said he is worse on defense than Boozer? If he keeps the effort up this Jazz team can go farther than one with Boozer.

Great game for CJ. Hopefully he doesn't let affect him the next game. Whenever he has a great game he seems to really struggle in the next.

For all the Boozer haters out there (I'm one of them)he had 22 points and 18 rebounds last night. He's still a beast when healthy, and we'd do well to remember that when we play Chicago.

Will was playing tough on both ends of the floor & appears to be gaining mental toughness....cj looks good when he puts the ball on the floor and penetrates....if cj wants to take it to the hole like that...I have no problems with him being on the floor...Al Jefferson is no Boozer on Defense (he actually plays defense)....who is this Jeremy Evans? He looks like a reincarnation of something like Carey Scurry mixed with David(Ben-wa)Benoit I bet the rims are still sore and bruised from all that....Watson is the best backup point gaurd in the NBA...Fess is an extremely large man....La phonzo Ellis or Dell or whateverhis name is is a very good player...a scoring machine...one of the top 5 in the leauge at just natural scoring ability...David Lee is a a Matt Harpring-Jerry Sloan kind of guy....Jazz were not giving away layups last night...these guys are not as generous with the paint as Booz & Memo were for the last 5 years...Elson and Watson are "tough guys"....it is rubbing off on their peers...those the kind of teams playing in May/June

Fes did have the good plus/minus. I'd also like to call attention to his improved passing last night, he made a really difficult pass to ak which was a huge basket that kept momentum, and he also made another really nice pass or two from the high post, i think he can work himself into the offense by being a screening and passing machine.
millsap had a great game,
hayward helped himself out by making the kind of cuts that dwill wants, it cleans out the paint and i saw the difference when he makes the cuts across the paint.
we seemed to get abused with jefferson in the lineup, the team was getting tested with him, overall he has good effort, i liked his dunk on the break, would like to see more of that, but he needs to run the floor better if he's going to play powerfoward and get those plays, i'd rather see him slim down and be wiry and fast at pwfwd, i think thats what people saw when they traded him for garnett,

cj...6 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals 1 block, 20 points...but he was not just jacking it up...he was putting the ball on the floor and beginning to shine a little bit, getting to the rim...that can build confidence and create for team-mates...then at the right time he was more comfortable to take a good shot within the offense/shot clock...they were tickling the twines...but the most impressive thin cj did last night was when David Lee went up for a dunk late in the game cj banged him up side the head...send a message "Not in our house" "Larry Miller bought the paint to brush on this floor and we work for the Millers" when a guy does something like that....it says I am invested here and I want to stay out here

Nice they poured it on in the 4th. 2nd unit was great and as always, DWill. Great team this year. I'd really like to see Big Al shine and give us 20 pts every night. The blocks were great, but I really want him to DUNK the ball when he goes to the basket, and pass it out when he's doubled instead of trying to go up anyway, then being softer because of the other team's defense and missing the shot. We love you Al, but go up strong to the basket or pass it out and get another chance at it. Go Jazz!

The only thing I don't like about Jefferson's game is he doesn't go up and finish strong. He hardly every dunks the ball which is fine but that is a reflection of how soft he puts the ball up. He needs to bully people down there, I thought that was what he was when I first heard we got him.

Nice win over a bad team. The Jazz need an upgrade at the 2 guard. The 9th over all pick in the 2010 draft is more than a project, I like Hayward as a person, but the Jazz should have kept Nichols, Jeffers or Thompson this past summer, any of those players are better than G.H. Raja Bell is decent but he is really a bench player at this point in his career. If this team is going to make a serious run at a title, we need an upgrade, we need someone to guard the perimeter and shoot the ball from the outside to keep the defense honest and stretch the floor. I think if Memo can come back and hit the 3's that will help, but we need a starting 2 that can give us 15 pts a night and give D-Will some help in the back court. Keep working hard, GO JAZZ!!

Good game for both CJ and AK,AK did it all and CJ, I`m more impressed with the 6 boards than anything that shows me he`s in the mix,We need BOTH of these guys to play well everyday,GO JAZZ

Did anyone else notice how AK's numbers improved when he replaced Millsap at the 4. He always seems to play better there.

RE: "Motappin" and "deno22": absolutely right about Jefferson. Needs to go up stronger or pass the ball out -- and sooner, too -- can't hold it so long. If he's willing to go up stronger, he gets to the line more often as well.

CJ Miles

How many baskets did Boozer give up while scoring 22 points? The Jazz are a better team without him.

The Jazz have never had a player like CJ who can score from 30 feet in on anyone. And he scores in bunches.

CJ's defensive is much improved. His rebounds, steals, assists are all up this year. He is turning into an AK stat sheet who can actually score.

If you look at most of the comeback wins, CJ has been a huge reason in the scoring column.
