Game Thread - Utah Jazz @ Oklahoma City Thunder

Utah Jazz at Oklahoma City Thunder, Mar 14, 2010 5:00 PM MDT


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.

stop jazz!!

What up doe? What's poppin'?
Should've worn the green jersies.

Gonna be a slow game thread?

I'm guessing yes on both counts.
Maybe everyone forgot the time change?
i almost did.
Just woke

didn’t realise game was this early.

lol probably.

This is going to be a long game.

so far, there's really just not much to say.
Durrant

Without AK, who is gonna really be able to stop Durrant?

gonna be a long night.

If the Jazz can keep it somewhat close I’ll be happy.

fail
+44
I take it back...

Finally.

thats better fes
3rd

time the charm

i forgot maynor was on okc
Yeah

when Boone said Maynor, I was like Huh?

Wow. Wes is on fire.
Where was this in Milwaukee?
Has anyone else still not forgiven Collison for that New Year's Eve game?

That was grant theft auto game. 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.)

if only the koof were still around

he would destroy the ref, and no one would know.

And apparently that official is working this game

I summon you, KOOF. You have a destiny in Oklahoma City.

korgasm!
where was that last game?
+26
Need a seminar in reffing....... ya know so they won't be so STUPIT!!

J. DeRosa, J. Capers, K. Fitzgerald

That was all ball
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.

Think we can get KD in a sign and trade for Booz?
anyone on the thunder

is looking good right now

Is there any link to this game? I'd like to watch it. Justintv sucks and can't remember that other site

that usually has a feed of NBA games.

Korgasm!
Mark the calender Sillsap got a call!
We need more real-hard pick and rolls performed.
do we know how?
I think they forgot.
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.

of course it's the ref behind the play making the call
A sure sign of ESP!!!!!
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
Deron Williams And 1.
Jerry is about to be gone
Oh phill saveed him from hisself
i'm pretty sure jerry has been coaching the jazz longer than that ref has been alive
Phil Johnson

is getting a workout!!

Walkin like man on egg shells and hot coals!
How is Yahoo! ahead of the game?
/Stern conspiracy
Durant takes some really dumb shots. But they go in. Anyway, where is Ak47?
calf strain

injured in the last game

fragile

calf strain.

newsflash

having a defensive big in the paint is not the answer to our problems

it does if they played defense..
wth is up with kk's ft shooting
His practice rim has been moved.... ??
I signed in to say CJ Miles sucks

if that sounds like a troll it’s not cause I really do believe that

Kthx

There is no way we get "good" CJ come playoffs
A little sexual harassment from the Jazz bear in that commercial?
she was hot after the fur eh?
Stat of the half!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every Jazz player is -##

and our fill-in starters

are 2-12

Oh and every Thunder player is +##
That was quick...
did deron even make it to halfcourt

or was he still complaining when the thunder scored

Matthews

Doing work

OMSW!!!!
Come on Jazz, lets go.
I would have loved to have seen Deron dunk that one

And you know, stop complaining.

Why is there no rotating?
because.

we’re back to the jazz that started the season.,

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.

Yep

No idea what he’s thinking right now

Easy call. Green dropped the shoulder.
CJ on the board!
Okay CJeezy

Time to get the ball rolling Doe.

We aren't lying down

we are whinging a lot

that's cuz we are getting fouled about 8 times per call!

It gets old….

Boozer has been bumped off balance at the elbow twice this quarter. No call. Although the Thunder are on fire.
KD is ridiculous.
GAWD BOOZE.......

The rim is a bit further away!!

We somebody to step in and put some A$$'s on the floor of the paint!

Get em thinking about that move and the floor!

Nice jinx Jazz TV

Had the ‘they just made last 15 FGs’ before that miss

the 15 consecutive shot jinx worked
Amazing the jazz are only down 9

Consisting the thunder have made 15 straight

get angry Fes!

And make a FT ffs.

flagrant much?
Wow, nice pass from Deron. That is a hard play to stop.
no it's not... just foul the big guy
yeah, but if that guy is Boozer. It's probably an And 1.
my money will not be on that bet.
that's a gotdaaumed flagrant!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently he would have had to try to strangle Fes with both hands for it to be a flagrant
I might get a flagrant soon then.
lol

Did his 1-4 on dunk attempts push you over the edge?

well

that and the 1-4 FTs and 1-4 having good hands… but whatever… injuries suck.

can we try jeffers out? just for a couple of minutes?
I wanna see if he's the defender they say he is.
Damn no AK and no Okur, only down 11. Jazz would win this game with those guys playing.
we're 0-2 against them this season
And its looking like

we might get them in the playoffs too…

Were the games close?
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.

We got run at home.
FESS with the take away at the rim!
They can't guard Fesenko. Too bad he can't draw rim on the free throws.
Reverse Jinx failed.
He's makin' Shaq look like Mark Price.
Hey, as bad as he's been, he's shooting free throws better than Andris Biedrins
not tonight he's not...

But at least it doesn’t look as bad as Beedsrich.

Check out the season FT % of the guy.

http://search.espn.go.com/andris-biedrins/

oh good lord

I stand corrected.

Yeah.

He’s been bad.

Unbelievable, huh? BTW DUKE # 1!!!!! SEed.
In the South, no less.

I was sure they’d be in SLC region.

that was like

let’s see how far this camera can zoom

thunder only shooting 63%

feels like 95%

they shot 11223% in the 3rd though
One shot wonder................. misses again...
How many times last year did we say, "you have to make free throws on the road to win?"
82*100
41*100, you mean. Smiley Face.
Is it usual for Jazz guards to fight through screens? I never see Blazer players do this. It actually makes a difference.
Sloan demands it. And apparently its his favorite thing about Wesley Mathews.
It's a very Jerry Sloan thing

Stock used to wear out people by fighting through picks

/nostalgia
Doe!
Ninja
nice picks by fess
Deron time to take over. If the Jazz can get some stops. Thunder look like the Suns when Nash was MVP.
We might just haveta get Ninja on up in this beeyotch.
WHAT UP DOE
I like the Jazz going zone, smart really smart. We came back on Golden State the other night doing this.
These refs are busch league.

Now CJeezy will turn on the afterburners.

See above

Stupit Reffs

That was an awful shot my OMSW
hey

you did it. you called him omsw.

Oh Moni's Sweet Wesley
shums came up with it though
yeah, but it's yours :)
community property
Shoulda bewen and AND 1..................

No call

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.

we've been outplayed thus far, though.
ugh

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

He's a mediocre jumpshooter

but a great slasher.

Doe

just missed that one

Put in a sacrifical lamb and kknock a few on their tushes!!!!!!!
you mean a 'sacrificial Fes'
Any wonder why Deron is a tad pissed off???!!
he's finding out what it's like to be sap
Deron Willsap.
What's with them going after our guys' necks tonight?
It's T time...
Give it to Doe or Wes
stupit reffs

Boozer wasn’t even touched though.

Boozer with 3 Ts in the last two games. He's such a leader.
there are those what would take you seriously.
we're not getting a call the rest of the season
try the rest of our lives...
We are complaining about a lot of no calls that are correct calls though. We just need to play ball.
+eleventy billion
That's what I'm saying

the complaining is what’s going to get us no love ever.

and why don't they get this
how do you calm down a 20 something FULL of testron and all excited?
Boozer didn't get blatantly fouled in Milwaukee and he didn't appear to get fouled when he blew that layup.
if they're pissed enough

maybe we’ll get the $500,000 walk-off

Smooch

Kiss it goodbye.

turn out the lights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweep the floor….

I wanna KD.

I’ll give the Knicks pick and the Koof.

I'll give him $5000 worth of skittles and cookies.
I'll double it.
tweet him your post
I shudder to think if Portland had picked him over Oden
I was just about to say: "maybe the Blazers would trade Greg Oden."
WTH???

How did he hit that?

He's the Durantula.
We need Doe and Wes to hit 3's.
Does looks afraid to take them
deron is always on the floor
That was offensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Called against Deron…….

Deron got the elbow in the face
The wipe put his shoulder down and came up under Deron...
PAGING BASKETBALL JOHN

Hey..

Happy

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

disagree

I hate losing, lol.

i'm with mike
Me too
Also

imagine having a healthy AK to help guard Durrant. That’s huge.

how many times have we been beaten

by teams that stepped up because one of their main guys was out…

add this pissed off fan to the bucket
We are in trouble now. Fourth seed looking like it would be a huge accomplishment.
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.

I want the Thunder in the playoffs. I will take their youth over anyone else I think. Look at Portland last season.
Hmm...

I was thinking that too… but I dunno. Plus the 4/5 puts us against the 1 seed.

Schedule still favors us a bit.
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.

This last 22 is going to take 22 minutes
this takes "the jazz don't quit" to a whole 'nother level
subterainian ?
'Night all... best of luck tomorrow.
Dammit

We needed AK tonight.

locke is blaming millsap

“is it too much to ask for millsap to step up for one night and carry the load?”

are you kidding?
no

he also said, “Paul Millsap is completely dependent on Memo”

I question Locke's brain sometimes.
