that said, i have seen some rumors of a deal involving holiday for favors. utah needs a pg, we could use another big body. could see something like this happening. gonna be an interesting offseason.

Favors would be a nice pick-up for so many teams, but I really hope that the Jazz don't deal him that easily. The pg point is an interesting one because I can't figure out how I feel about it. Earlier in the season, Devin was struggling, but as of late he seems to be picking up some pace and finding his spot. I don't think Harris needs to be a dominant player, he just needs to be productive and reliable. I was happy to see KOC not make any major moves before the trade deadline. Personally, I like Utah's roster as it stands. They play very well together when they're on, and with all the youth and talent with high ceilings, it can really only get better. There is a real team atmosphere in Utah, and players have been improving (Al, Favors, Hayward have all shown developments) I think that will go a long way.

sounds familiar. too nice up and coming teams...one with a guard to spare....one with an extra big man to spare..... :think:

looks like enes had himself a nice little game yesterday huh?

Keep your hands off of Enes The Menace.

I only saw the last 8 minutes of the first half, but the jazz' win over OKC was all about defense. great win.


plus, the la*ers lost. kobe jacked up 27; made 10 :thumbup:

Ya know, it is possible for Kobe to beat Kareem as all-time scorer before retires, but shooting like that is going to make the task a lot more difficult to do.

Because I don't watch the Lakers, or even care to see the highlights of their games, are these all quality looks he's shooting at, or is he just throwing up every chance he gets? I'm pretty sure that Kobe is a smart enough basketball player to take the right shots... but honestly, 3-20 and 10-27 doesn't sound very mamba-esque.

Awesome win by Utah last night, by the way. I like OKC, and generally pull for them to win, but last night was the perfect outcome. As well as Phoenix losing...

must have been the case. you guys played well for 3qtrs then stopped playing team basketball and starting chucking shots

what was with all the fouling and time outs in the last couple of minuts. game was over.

honestly ... i missed the game ... all i can say is that the team has barely been blown out all season and has way too many wins ... we've played tough against all the playoff teams ... many games without our best player and a lineup of scrubs ...

i really like the foundation of this team ... with valunciunas coming in and hopefully a top 5-7 pick in this year's draft (plus 2 second rounders we might be able to move up in the first round or get another one) ... we should be solid the next few seasons ... basketball is fleeting ... some decent talent combined with solid role players and a good coach and you can compete ...

i find the video lacking humor and excitment. pretty tough to dunk when you run somebody over outside the restricted space.

It's funny because it looks like Westbrook got really excited about the opportunity to possibly dunk over Griffin, but he got schooled on it.

but then he wouldn't have taken the last shot and all we'd be doing is talking about that

i agree the whole take the last shot thing has been overblown but he kinda did it to himself ... his 4th quarter disappearance in last year's finals started it ...

now, what never would have been an issue is ... and when the time comes again ... what's gonna be going thru his mind as the clock winds down?

I love the hands up afterward and the fact that he didn't even try to come back on the court. You have to foul the bigger guys a little harder. I wish someone would hit Iguodala that hard.

Thank you! Been wondering this myself.

At least they have basketball on Mars?

I am loving how Utah is playing right now. Everyone on that team is getting involved and contributing to the 6 great wins they're currently riding on.

He seems to be the only guy on the roster to start drama. Bummer, I like Raja, but his services are not worth fucking up the locker room.

DC - are you hating on the thunder now that they have fisher?

I am.

Not really, but I just shake my head and laugh at Fisher requesting a buy-out.

Sounds like the dude can't swallow the idea of playing for a team who isn't a title contender.

I completely agree, what a way for the president of the players union to act. I have lost a ton of respect for Fisher.
