No AK, no Memo, no Price, no problem, right? The Thunder were going to be tough enough as it was even with everyone.
According to Locke, CJ will start for AK and Millsap will take Memo's place. That's going to be a pretty thin rotation with just Korver on the bench that's part of the regular rotation. We're going to see some odd combinations on the floor tonight.
So we'll see Gaines tonight, maybe even vs. Maynor. Deron might be going 40+ minutes though, let's hope he's wearing the wrist brace. And we're in trouble if the Jazz start getting into foul trouble as well.
If we're going to pull out a win, we're going to have to have season-best type games from everyone. Oh, and don't be surprised if Durant goes for 50.

What up doe? What's poppin'?
KaBar6 - March 14, 2010 via mobile
Should've worn the green jersies.
Gonna be a slow game thread?
KaBar6 - March 14, 2010 via mobile
I'm guessing yes on both counts.
Basketball John - March 14, 2010
Maybe everyone forgot the time change?

Good call
scrantonicity33 - March 14, 2010

Where was this in Milwaukee?
UtesFan89 - March 14, 2010
Has anyone else still not forgiven Collison for that New Year's Eve game?
That was grant theft
autogame. I usually don’t condone excessive violence, but I really would love to see Fes just lay him out at some point tonight. (More the refs’ fault than Collison’s, I know, but I don’t think the league would take kindly to Fes destroying a ref.)shandonfan - March 14, 2010
if only the koof were still around
he would destroy the ref, and no one would know.
moni - March 14, 2010
And apparently that official is working this game
I summon you, KOOF. You have a destiny in Oklahoma City.

KaBar6 - March 14, 2010 via mobile
watching jerry bark at the refs
i was thinking, the refs should listen to him. he has decades and maybe even a lifetime more experience playing and coaching than they do.
moni - March 14, 2010
Think we can get KD in a sign and trade for Booz?
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
anyone on the thunder
is looking good right now
moni - March 14, 2010
Is there any link to this game? I'd like to watch it. Justintv sucks and can't remember that other site

We need more real-hard pick and rolls performed.
KaBar6 - March 14, 2010 via mobile
do we know how?
moni - March 14, 2010
I think they forgot.
KaBar6 - March 14, 2010 via mobile
I'm looking at all these players that were scrubs last year. All of a sudden Kristic is rebounding in traffic?
I know the Jazz can pull this out. Sloan is going to make some adjustment at half time and watch out.
BRoyInThe4th - March 14, 2010
of course it's the ref behind the play making the call
moni - March 14, 2010
A sure sign of ESP!!!!!
RRR - March 14, 2010
Who wants to take bets that Jerry will get ejected?
At least he’s alert, probably ate all of his Denny’s slamdunk breakfast.

That was pretty ninja

Durant takes some really dumb shots. But they go in. Anyway, where is Ak47?
BRoyInThe4th - March 14, 2010
calf strain
injured in the last game
moni - March 14, 2010
fragile
calf strain.
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
newsflash
having a defensive big in the paint is not the answer to our problems
moni - March 14, 2010
it does if they played defense..
RRR - March 14, 2010
wth is up with kk's ft shooting
moni - March 14, 2010
His practice rim has been moved.... ??
RRR - March 14, 2010
I signed in to say CJ Miles sucks
if that sounds like a troll it’s not cause I really do believe that
ridog - March 14, 2010
Kthx
KaBar6 - March 14, 2010 via mobile
There is no way we get "good" CJ come playoffs
ridog - March 14, 2010
A little sexual harassment from the Jazz bear in that commercial?
Basketball John - March 14, 2010
she was hot after the fur eh?
RRR - March 14, 2010
Stat of the half!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every Jazz player is -##

That was quick...
KaBar6 - March 14, 2010 via mobile
did deron even make it to halfcourt
or was he still complaining when the thunder scored

I don't think so

And you know, stop complaining.

UtesFan89 - March 14, 2010
Why is there no rotating?
Basketball John - March 14, 2010
because.
we’re back to the jazz that started the season.,
moni - March 14, 2010
doesn't deron realize that
if he complains on every single play the refs will tune him out and maybe even spread the word to their colleagues.
it’s starting to really annoy me.
i’m only being semi-facetious here but he looks like a kid since he shaved and it’s like his on-court maturity also disappeared. i don’t remember him complaining this much earlier in the season.
moni - March 14, 2010
Yep
No idea what he’s thinking right now
UtesFan89 - March 14, 2010
Easy call. Green dropped the shoulder.
BRoyInThe4th - March 14, 2010
CJ on the board!
ridog - March 14, 2010
Okay CJeezy
Time to get the ball rolling Doe.
KaBar6 - March 14, 2010 via mobile
We aren't lying down
we are whinging a lot
TazzJazzFan - March 14, 2010
that's cuz we are getting fouled about 8 times per call!
It gets old….
RRR - March 14, 2010
Boozer has been bumped off balance at the elbow twice this quarter. No call. Although the Thunder are on fire.
BRoyInThe4th - March 14, 2010
KD is ridiculous.

GAWD BOOZE.......
The rim is a bit further away!!

Get em thinking about that move and the floor!
RRR - March 14, 2010
Nice jinx Jazz TV
Had the ‘they just made last 15 FGs’ before that miss
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
the 15 consecutive shot jinx worked
moni - March 14, 2010
Amazing the jazz are only down 9
Consisting the thunder have made 15 straight
iidiot - March 14, 2010 via mobile
get angry Fes!
And make a FT ffs.
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
flagrant much?
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
Wow, nice pass from Deron. That is a hard play to stop.
BRoyInThe4th - March 14, 2010
no it's not... just foul the big guy
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
yeah, but if that guy is Boozer. It's probably an And 1.
BRoyInThe4th - March 14, 2010
my money will not be on that bet.
RRR - March 14, 2010
that's a gotdaaumed flagrant!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RRR - March 14, 2010
Apparently he would have had to try to strangle Fes with both hands for it to be a flagrant
shandonfan - March 14, 2010
I might get a flagrant soon then.
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
lol
Did his 1-4 on dunk attempts push you over the edge?
shandonfan - March 14, 2010
well
that and the 1-4 FTs and 1-4 having good hands… but whatever… injuries suck.
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
can we try jeffers out? just for a couple of minutes?
moni - March 14, 2010
I wanna see if he's the defender they say he is.
LoWBlok - March 14, 2010
freal
moni - March 14, 2010
Damn no AK and no Okur, only down 11. Jazz would win this game with those guys playing.
BRoyInThe4th - March 14, 2010
we're 0-2 against them this season
moni - March 14, 2010
And its looking like
we might get them in the playoffs too…
UtesFan89 - March 14, 2010
Were the games close?
BRoyInThe4th - March 14, 2010
One was a one-point game decided on a truly bogus last second foul call
The other wasn’t really close, I don’t think.
shandonfan - March 14, 2010
We got run at home.
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
FESS with the take away at the rim!
RRR - March 14, 2010
FES!
TazzJazzFan - March 14, 2010
They can't guard Fesenko. Too bad he can't draw rim on the free throws.
clarkpojo - March 14, 2010
too much rim
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
Reverse Jinx failed.
clarkpojo - March 14, 2010
He's makin' Shaq look like Mark Price.
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
Hey, as bad as he's been, he's shooting free throws better than Andris Biedrins
clarkpojo - March 14, 2010
not tonight he's not...
But at least it doesn’t look as bad as Beedsrich.
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
Check out the season FT % of the guy.

oh good lord
I stand corrected.
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010

He’s been bad.

Unbelievable, huh? BTW DUKE # 1!!!!! SEed.
clarkpojo - March 14, 2010
In the South, no less.
I was sure they’d be in SLC region.
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
that was like
let’s see how far this camera can zoom
moni - March 14, 2010
thunder only shooting 63%
feels like 95%
moni - March 14, 2010
they shot 11223% in the 3rd though
TazzJazzFan - March 14, 2010
One shot wonder................. misses again...
RRR - March 14, 2010
How many times last year did we say, "you have to make free throws on the road to win?"
clarkpojo - March 14, 2010
82*100
RRR - March 14, 2010
41*100, you mean. Smiley Face.
clarkpojo - March 14, 2010
Is it usual for Jazz guards to fight through screens? I never see Blazer players do this. It actually makes a difference.
BRoyInThe4th - March 14, 2010
Sloan demands it. And apparently its his favorite thing about Wesley Mathews.
clarkpojo - March 14, 2010
It's a very Jerry Sloan thing
Stock used to wear out people by fighting through picks

No call
RRR - March 14, 2010
No quit in the Jazz. But these damn refs keep calling these touch fouls. Yet Deron got hit on the play before at the rim. Nothing.
Home cooking I guess.
BRoyInThe4th - March 14, 2010
we've been outplayed thus far, though.

westbrook is 11-15. isn’t he a career 35% shooter or something

Boozer didn't get blatantly fouled in Milwaukee and he didn't appear to get fouled when he blew that layup.

with the way the Jazz played. Shorthanded and competed all night, even with the zombie sonics’ unconscious shooting.

imagine having a healthy AK to help guard Durrant. That’s huge.
scrantonicity33 - March 14, 2010
how many times have we been beaten
by teams that stepped up because one of their main guys was out…
moni - March 14, 2010
add this pissed off fan to the bucket
RRR - March 14, 2010
We are in trouble now. Fourth seed looking like it would be a huge accomplishment.
clarkpojo - March 14, 2010
I dunno...
I think we can hold on to 4… not sure if it’s a good thing if OKC is sitting there… I’d rather get 6 and play Dallas.
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
I want the Thunder in the playoffs. I will take their youth over anyone else I think. Look at Portland last season.
clarkpojo - March 14, 2010
Hmm...
I was thinking that too… but I dunno. Plus the 4/5 puts us against the 1 seed.
rxmike12 - March 14, 2010
Schedule still favors us a bit.
Basketball John - March 14, 2010
could have been
much worse if the Jazz hung their heads though. A little too much bitching at the refs, but other than that they played well all night imo.
scrantonicity33 - March 14, 2010
This last 22 is going to take 22 minutes
