IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THE TEAM PUT ON A SHOW. THATS WHAT WE PAY FOR. AND THATS GOOD FOR THE PLAYERS TO PLAY HARD AND REWARD EACH OTHER BY HAVING FUN AND DUNKING LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN DOING. THE GAME IS DIFFRENT NOW THAN IT WAS 30 YEARS AGO. THE ATHLETES ARE AMAZING KEEP PLAYING YOUR TAILS OFF. GOOD LUCK

Who is the only person who can hold CJ scoreless? Jerry Sloan. When the Jerry plays my man, he lights it up. Too bad we overpaided him at 4 a year. CJ showed tonight that he can fill it up in bunches. Oh did you notice that he played defense? OK all you haters, what you going to hate on today?
All CJ needed | 9:24 a.m. Nov. 29, 2008
was regular minutes. Jerry finally made a commitment to play him without jerking him out of the game and burying him on the end of the bench for a couple of games after every mistake. It took a while, but it is now paying off handsomely.

Play Harpring and Korver less, play Brewer and CJ more, and the Jazz will be a better team.

Did you all forget Sloan tried starting Miles last year, and the year before, for extended minutes and gave him enough rope, minutes, to hang himself. I'm glad to see Miles is starting to play consistant on both sides of the floor and hopes he keeps it up. But to blame his slow progression and previous shortcomins on Sloan is a bit much.

PS. RE: Jack: WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING ON THE MESSAGE BOARD?
CJ | 9:43 a.m. Nov. 29, 2008
was the man last night, but you really have to credit Williams for getting him all those open shots. WE NEED D-WILL!

Good team defense too! All those steals lead to easy baskets.

GO JAZZ

Oh!!! No!!! We should not have matched C. J.'s offer sheet!!!

You Gotta Love it Baby!!!!!!!

Dapper2k...Extended minutes? Who are you kidding? Sloan yanked him out repeatedly and then wouldn't play him for another 5 games at a time. Sloan is totally the one to blame for his slow progression. Last time I looked, he is the coach in charge of the players.

Your basketball knowlege is pretty good young man. You know talent when you see it. keep up the good work.
Re Miles. | 11:09 a.m. Nov. 29, 2008
Quick young guru, what advise will you give us that will garner some road wins? What is coach Sloan doing that is depriving us of these precious away from home victories?
Re: Miles | 12:43 p.m. Nov. 29, 2008
Remember when we all wanted to dump Miles and were shocked when the Jazz gave him a new contract?

Where are all the "Miles Haters."

Give Miles and Millsap all of Harpring and Collins minutes and stand back. We win games. Millsap plays the post defense better than Collins anyway. Collins
needs to retire.

I remember when I thought I wasn't going to see Miles again in a Jazz uniform at the beginning of this season. I'm hoping managemnet is now glad they resigned this budding superstar, he's AWESOME. The whole team is AWESOME, especially in 3rd and 4th quarters of games.
I believe it shouldn't take coach to coax the Jazz into more defense, they should do that automatically. Defense leads to offense. Oh well what do I know? I'M A FAN THAT'S WHAT!!!!!!!GO JAZZ!!!!!
It was the Kings | 4:24 p.m. Nov. 29, 2008
Before ya'll get miles crazy, we were playing the kings; i've always said miles has the natural ability, and he's been working, so it seemed like it would eventually come together for him, but he still has alot of work to do--but he's my man. the jazz are going to need more from him if he's going to hold his own agaist bryant.
RE: Dapper2k | 6:09 p.m. Nov. 29, 2008
Just think if sloan would have allowed miles to play more the last couple of years.

How much further along his developement would be.

And since the jazz did not win any championship it would not have really hurt now, would it? But benefited the Jazz in the long run.
