Beautiful basketball tonight. 36 team assists.

Did the Jazz win in San Antonio break some kind of curse? Has this team turned a corner?

They lost at home to the Thunder a couple days ago. They're as schizo as ever.

I'm sure they'll have a letdown this week in an otherwise winnable game since that seems to be how they've operated for the last three years; but having won 5 of their last 6 and 6 of their last 8, they're at least on the road to playing decent ball again.

It was so good to see Deron and Booz back on the same page again. The only why this team gets back to competitive if for them to bury the hatchet and start working together the way they did last night.

With our two best shooters coming back in the next couple of weeks, I'm shopping Okur. Watching Fess on the floor it becomes so apparent that the Jazz need to play with a real 5. Right now Memo is a slightly less one-dimensional player than Korver, only he's getting paid twice as much. At this point I'd rather play Fess/Kosta in a platoon and then go small at times with Booz at the 5 and Sap at the 4.

"Is there a more overrated player in the league right now than Deron Williams?"

If 20, 10 and 5 on 49% FGs isn't good enough for that guy, perhaps he should spend a little more time learning the game and a little less time on message boards.

These guys are sizzlin'.

Looks like they may actually be turning that corner.

Ummm........They beat Memphis without Rudy Gay and his 20 points per game. You, me, Sizzle, d-hole and DDD waving a towel only could keep that game close.

Well, that's all DDD would be good for!

I was referring less to tonight and more to the fact that they've won 6 of their last 7 and have damn near averaged 60% from the floor over their last three (59.93%).

[MarkGrace]

Boozer had 24 pts, 15 rebs, 7 assists, 3 stls and 1 blk in 32 mins.

That dude is playing like an absolute beast lately.

That is impressive and you are right Boozer is playing hard for that contract.

Makes you sad to see what he's capable of. He's even trying to play defense lately and challenge shots around the rim.

Yeah I watched him strip Duncan about 10 times in the two games they played. He is getting after it.

[MarkGrace]

Never in their history have the Jazz shot 60 percent in three consecutive games. The last team to do so was Indiana in games Jan. 29 to Feb. 2, 1994. Had they not missed four of their last five shots in garbage time, the Jazz would have equaled the feat.

Pretty impressive, despite the competition.
