Utah Jazz: Australia can't play with U.S.

What, there are other players contributing to wins OTHER than Carmello Anthony?? Based on reports from our my local Denver media, one would never know it. Way to go, D-Will. When even 'Melo is playing a team game (remember, no "I" in team, but definitely a "ME" in 'Melo), you know Coach K has done something special with this team. Roll on.

perhaps boozer will take this lesson with him for the jazz this year and not disappear during the playoffs
on the defensive end.

Boozer & Defense...? | 8:46 a.m. Aug. 21, 2008

In the same sentence, and out of his own mouth?! Three "defense"s and a "D"? What is the world coming to? Has "it" really frozen over...? (Dare I say it...? is there "hope"?)

sho thinks Boguts injuries are a little suspect. It seems like he knew the rout was gonna be on so he just happens to roll his ankle. What a freakin chump!

Jawai? | 4:50 p.m. Aug. 21, 2008

Does anyone know if the Jawai kid is in the Olympics? I know he played in the Australian league and was just barely drafted in the NBA but is actually from Australia and doe he play on their team?

...that it was even discussed that Australia would be a mild challenge for the US. Our professional league is on the brink of collapse. Two of our teams just got dumped from the league one of them the major Sydney team. I think it's fair to say that the Aussies weren't expecting as much out of the Boomers as the Americans were. A lot of hype over nothing really lol.
