There are tons of fans in Europe. I think it's great that our teams spread the game worldwide. Eventually the NBA will be a world sport like soccer. Many players come from Europe and elswhere so it's only right that they have a chance to showcase their skills in their own part of the world. Good on you Jazz if you get a chance to participate.

I hope Almond gets some minutes and shows us what he can do. I still think, if given the chance, he can give more to this team then Miles does. Miles is a great player and I really want him to succeed obviously, but he just hasn't performed yet. He has been consistently getting 20mins, yet the only thing he does is make a few shot. We need better defense and more rebounding out of our guards.

Come on guys, lets get our heads in the game. If you want to be Prime-time players we need to unite the clans. "Unite them!" Tom Clancy once said, "If you're going for the gold, don't wear your penny-loafers...wear berkenstalks!" Translation-Don't forget banans on your wheaties!! Also...we still need to get Barry Bernstein to trade TRee SkullZ for Gerry Gandersmith and Kyle Gold!!!!

I don't want our players spending grueling hours on these long international trips.

Have we already forgotten what Okurs back was like after his trip to Turkey? These are real issues for NBA players. Why would we want to purposely put them on flights where they sit for extended periods of time and exacerbate problem back issues like we know Memo has?

Ridiculuous!!

Stern--find some other way to make some more money other than impairing our players ability to play and win games.

Are you out of your mind? Almond??? He doesn't know what planet he's on? I agree with C-Bird on how we should try to get TreE SkulZZ from the 8th ward. I talked to Gera-Lee Rice and he said the deal is up in the air cause Bobby Wadkins isn't sure the AFL will alove such transactions because of the inactivity at Wall-street. But hece the phrase, "go where the wind blows." Maybe that is your mindset BOOOOO?

How is Williams not even in the TOP 10 in all-star bolloting for the PG position? Seriously, how is that possible?
Re: unite the clans | 11:36 a.m. Jan. 9, 2009
Agreed,
Magnus, Miles, Dean, Kevin you guys need to put asside your favorite players and cheer for the whole Jazz team. We need both Korver and CJ to get this thing done.

A house divided is a house conquered!

BOOOOOO is out of his mind. Almond spells antacid. We know where the wind blows.

It is very simple actually.

1. Deron has been injured most of the season and ,until the last 5 games, has had some pretty poor performance BY HIS OWN STANDARDS. Turnovers have been obscene!!! He is not even close to playing as well as he did last year or especially in the olympics. If he was, then there would be a case to argue but, he really has not played like an all-star this season.

2. Secondarily, the reason he will struggle to get the votes even when he is healthy....he is in small market Utah. This is nothing more than a fan popularity contest. How many fans in Utah? I mean seriously--Shaq is one of the top 2 Centers in the West? It is only because he used to be awesome and he is well known in big markets.

People know D-Will is good but he has not been able to perform and peoples bias for the hometown hack will always get their vote because every fan wants to see their team members playing.
