Utah Jazz: Third-quarter explosion propels Jazz past Kings

Shat.......According to you.......CJ was horrible in the 3rd quarter and should have been benched. That's how much you know about basketball!!

Miles was incredible in the third. He is the type of player that will put the Jazz over the top. Thank god we matched his contract. He could be playing on a one-win team right now. How sad would that be. That off season move looks like a steal. C.J. Miles would have been a top ten pick if he would have gone to college for a couple of years.

The Jazz are in second place in the standings for the moment in the West behind LA. Just keep winning. A loss could drop the Jazz to 7th.

i'll say it again, everyone is looking past the fact that it's a win against another ho-hum team from the western conf.. kings are just like the wizards and washington has only won a couple games so far so once again i'm not impressed. the only entertainment during the game was the dunks and alley-oop plays the jazz had so the fans would actually stay in the arena and not be so bored (d-wills' assist off the backboard for cj miles doesn't get any better if you ask me). unless jazz go on a tear during the next 20 games or so i think they'll be out in either 1st or 2nd rond of playoffs again. they have yet to prove anything this season.

After he spent time with the TV guys, Carlos Boozer went back to the bench. I think he spent more time texting on his phone than watching his teammates.

CJ Has been playing some great ball. I'ts about time Jerry figured out that an athletic swing man like CJ is better than Korver who's only asset is shooting.

This year's version of the Utah Jazz is a very fun team to watch. They rebound, execute the offense, share the ball, pass well and score in bunches. They are playing basketball the way the game was meant to be played. Tonight was fun!

Oh!! No!! We should not have matched C. J. 's offer!! You gotta love it baby!!!!!!!

I see some huge basketball chemistry going on between Deron Williams, Ronnie Brewer, C.J. Miles, Paul milsap, and Mehmut Okur. Questions comments?

B. R. | 1:52 a.m. Nov. 29, 2008

Sorry for the typo. Milsap should be double caps!!!!!!!

A gentle push, a mount arc, and the COWHIDE GLOBE HITS HOME!

Also Mehmut has to be Mehmet and I also say that Boozer has to go he thinks he is on top of everyone else, I still remember his stupid comments after losing in the playoffs regarding players' summer plans. He was not much of use in Olympics either.

Re: Boozer | 9:40 a.m. Nov. 29, 2008

I saw him texting from the bench too. Thats really annoying. Everyone is out there working hard, and the bench is into the game, supporting their teammates. And then theres Boozer... Just don't bother showing up if your mind is obviously elsewhere.
