Price cam e through at the end, but he played like trash in first Half, I hope we get Knight back for the spurs game because Price still doesn't know what he suspose to do out there? and Korver still play like trash!!! Keep Miles in the game sloan please!!!!!!!!

Sloan hates Miles. He only plays him cause he forced to by Larry. Ronnie is OK but Knight is much better day in and day out. I love it when Ronnie has a great game. I always cheer for the underdog. When Williams is back, there won't be enough minutes to care who is better.

Does it matter if Price didn't play well in the first half? I mean, come on. If Sloan is willing to say nothing but good things about the guy's game, do you think it really matters? He played well and helped the Jazz win the game.

Korver is out there for the most part to spread the defense. If you've got a guy who can shoot threes like him, you're going to have the defense watching him, giving your offense more room in the middle. That's why they call it the Korver Effect. It's not that he scores so many more points, it's that he spreads the defense with his presence and makes it easier for the Jazz to score.

First of all AK is the MVP of the team so far this season. In the Third/forth quarter, he had 3 straight steels, with the Jazz getting the ball at the beginning of the 4th quarter the Jazz had 5 offensive sets without the bucks taking one shot - Amazing.

When AK is on the floor, the Jazz outscore their opponents, and when AK is on the bench the Jazz are outscored.
Go to 82games.com for the actual numbers - they are insane.

Sloan does not hate Miles, it is the simple fact Miles is not a very good defender. Miles looked awful at the beginning of the 3rd when the Jazz were outscored by 10 points, but he looked really good in the 4th (playing with AK) when the Jazz out the bucks by 8 points

Price and Knight are even as point guards.

I am surprised that this article headline did not say "The Price is Right" anywhere in it. Thank You!!!

Thank you Desnews editors for omitting the "Price is Right" in the headline.

Lets see, we have Okur and Koufos to jam the middle.
AK and Milsap to play Power forwards. Korver and Brewer at S Forward. Miles at Shooting Guard. Price at Point.

Not much left Boozer, Collins, Harpring all out. Williams, Knight all are game time decisions. Does this mean that Almond, heaven forbid, might get a chance to play? It is time for all to really step up

Good luck guys in San Antonio.

I think that the silver lining around the injury cloud is the developement of Price. If Williams or Knight had been playing I don't think the bucks would have gotten back into the game, but Price sucked it up in the 2nd half got a win. A win is a win.
Knight has been a great aquasition to the team but doesn't appear that durable for extended periods of time. I think 8 minutes a half is about the most you are going to get from him consistently. Don't kill the golden goose. I love the 2nd unit of Knight, AK, Milsap, Korver and Harpring.
