"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[cougjunkie]

Bill Simmons has a decent column on potential NBA trades. Cleveland and Shaqs expiring deal are going to be a major contender.

One potential trade was AK, Korvers expiring deal and the Knicks pick for Kevin Martin, and Kenny Thomas' expiring deal.

This saves Utah 3.2 million this year and 3.2 million in Luxury tax money.

The other trade involving Utah was a 3 way deal:

Boozer and Shaq to the Wizards

Caron Butler and Mike James Expiring contract to Utah

Antawn Jamison, Brendan Haywood and Kyle Korvers (EC) to Cleveland.

Okur sucks. Please get rid of him.

Okur is the biggest pat-on-the-back player in world history. Eyore shoots 20% worse on the road. That isn't even possible unless you have no heart. His refusal to play defense, especially help defense, is inexcusable. Isolate on him when D-Will or Brewer get beat on the outside (that's another problem). He literally pretends not to see a cutting PG/SG coming towards him and moves closer to his man in order to avoid being posterized. He is worse than a bad defender, he's selfish and when his shot is a liability he's needs to take his European BO to the bench. Trouble is Sloan believes he will actually click into his old game and thinks he needs Okur's outside shooting. Since resigning Okur seems content to just do his time. What a waste.

I chuckled, but his hands don't seem that big.

I just got a text from ESPN that said Utah 90 SA 83. I was all excited, then bummed that I hadn't watched it. Then realize, wait they didn't play. ESPN gets a Christmas Boo!

I could almost see the floor from where I sat. Nice to be in ESA again. Matthews was extremely impressive.

Gracey I was there as well last night. We were 3rd row behind the basket. After Ronnie Price turned it over 3 times in a row, he was about 10 feet from me when I yelled "Bring back Maynor!" He looked at me and started shaking his head.

I also talked with Samuel Dalembert and Andre Iguodala before the game. It was fun sitting that close, lots of botox and silicone down there as well. Also I was the only male without a faux hawk.

HFN mentioned this to me while I was at the game. He also knew an uncomfortable amount of detail about where YOhio was sitting.

Funny how the scenery changes from the lower to upper bowl. I think I was the only dude in my section not rocking an unironic mullet.

Section J, Row 11, Seat 2. I think I was the only dude in my section who just got a nice haircut from Mastercuts just before the game. 4 on the sides and a trim on top.

Though I really enjoyed the game, the highlight of my evening was watching that Chinese lady ride a ten foot tall unicycle and flipping bowls to the top of her head. All while wearing heals.

The best way to ruin a Jazz game is to focus in on Kirilenko and watch him half-ass it the whole game. It sucks to see what he's become.

I videotaped that whole halftime show. Man that lady was impressive. I was section 13 (portal Q), row 3, seat 10.

You should have told me I could have taken a picture of you on TV and texted it to you also.

I would really like to see that.

Do we actually beat the Wolves tonight?

Do we actually beat the Wolves tonight?

I'm gonna say no. That way if it happens I will be surprised and happy, and if it doesn't I will have known it was coming.
