The 2012-13 NBA season

jazz looked great (saw the first half) last nite ... think they will give spurs fits ...

1. Defend Parker's pick and roll.
2. Defend the fucking three point line. It's known that SA can shoot the ball. Hell, when they beat us at home in February it came down to the outside shooting, which is an offensive weakness for Utah.

Those two things will drastically help the Jazz's fighting chance.

Read a great nickname for Al Jefferson:

Big Al-Qaeda - he's a terrorist in the paint.

for what it's worth....I want no part of possibly moving up to the #7 seed

I'm with you on that. I'm more comfortable with Utah facing SA than OKC.

The Jazz played absolutely beautiful basketball in the first quarter.

the quarter I missed

the Big Al-fueled final run was beautiful, too

Admittedly, I overlooked Paul Millsap's game... what a stat sheet he had last night too:

26 points
15 rebounds
4 assists
3 steals
1 block

Paul gets it done on both sides of the floor, and I think that's what separates him from Al as the MVP of the Jazz.

been a fan of this guy for a while ... i reach for him every year in my fantasy league ... and this year - he actually excelled that ...

really ... i would say that paul and al work really well together and play unselfish team basketball ... and that they are both co-mvps ...

Totally agree with you. The two of them together make a great duo of bigs. I also really like that Paul shows he is versatile and able to play the SF position. He might be undersized as a PF, but he makes up for it with other parts of his game.

Utah needs to hang on to their bigs. Their looking to be one of the most dominant front-courts in the league. That's a rarity in today's NBA, and that is an advantage that could become very useful. I really hope there isn't much change with the roster over the off-season. With the exception of Miles, Bell, and possibly Watson, keep the roster how it is. Only problem is... what the hell are you going to get for those three dudes?

you guys have a great young nucleus ... keep them together and i definitely think you can contend for championships ... it's too bad deron williams drove sloan to retire ...

Yeah. But, on the other hand... I think Corbin has shown that he is a very capable coach. He's learned very well under Sloan and has embraced that system with his own tweaks on it, which frankly, I think is what Sloan needed to do. It seems that his offense was getting to be way too predictable by every team in the league.

I do miss Jerry though. He was at the Orlando/Utah game...

did he have to buy his own ticket

ok, obviously I do not follow basketball at all, but when I see a news headline that says:

"NBA Suspends World Peace"

I have to ask - what the hell is going on?!?!

Most likely not.

hey DC, where do we get our "#8 seed 2012 Playoffs" shirts??

the only question is...do you win a single game vs. SA

crazy how good SA is.....tied with the bulls for best record in the NBA even though Pop gave away games to rest his stars....and all you hear is bulls, heat and OKC

maybe because they did the same thing last year, and then choked in the playoffs.
