Jazz,
- Finally, we have some love from the press - link. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dime-090228-0301
So, could Sloan get this long-overdue, well-deserved Award this season? Who is his biggest competitor?
My worry is Popovich, who is a not-so-obvious choice. But if we play the full-of-injury card, Popovich also deserves some respects. Spurs play quite some games without Tony Parker, and Ginobili this season too...
Others,
- Marbury is back to NBA after 13 months. He looks alright in his debut in Celtics, and Celtics is smiling.
- 45 pts, 11 rebs by an almost 37-year-old Shaq.

Jazz, 6-Game Winning Streak
Jazz Game,
- Would win a lot earlier if Mike Miller and Kevin Love did not shoot that well
Others,
- Parker, single-handedly bring Spurs to two impressive wins. 37 pts and 39 pts, without TD and Ginobili. And Coach Popovich decided to rest Parker (i.e. Spurs w/o Big Three) when facing Cavaliers. How unique, and smart perhaps!

We count on Brewer
Jazz game,
- We count on Brewer. He never got much appearance in press. He is seldom praised by fans outside Jazz environment (hey, to be honest, even within Jazz environment, the opinion is mixed). But I feel if we want a champion, he is a very significant factor both in defense and offense.
- I am willing to give Boozer 10 games to play back his normal standard. And I expect him to give more efforts in this year playoff considering he has taken enough rest in the regular season.
Others,
- Thanks Celtics.

Pleasant Surprises for Rockets, Bucks
Others,
- Nice win by Raptors, but Chris Bosh just had a lackluster performance. On the other hand, Marion seems to be enjoying his time in Toronto (at least for now). Playing 44 mins with 16 pts, 15 rebs, 5 asts, and 1 stl. Can't complain, right?
- I said earlier in this blog that missing T Mac at worst a neutral news for Rockets. I guess we can be almost sure that Rockets plays better ball without an half-injured T Mac. He is great when he is healthy, no doubts about that. Just not when he is hobbling.
- By the way, Yao is playing more minutes that usual in recent two games - link. Let's keep watching. It could be a short-term push for results, but may not be ideal for the play-off.
- Without Redd made Charlie Villanueva, and Ramon Sessions have more minutes. Villanueva proved that he could be a scoring machine in earlier seasons if he played enough time, but Sessions is definitely a surprise for the Bucks. They recently really beat some good teams, including Nuggets today. (A Big Thank You)
- "Lamar has been asked more than anybody to make sacrifices that guys of his caliber normally aren't asked to make," Fisher said, referring to Odom coming off the bench for 45 of the team's first 46 games. "Now that he's back in the starting lineup, he's letting the game come to him and his talent speaks for itself." - I am nodding my head, can't agree more. I said in pre-season that Odom and AK have a lot of similarities in their games. They are both very talented and versatile player.

Jazz Dedicated the Win to Larry H. Miller
Jazz Game,
- Okur, so under-rated in the NBA envrionment. I am not saying he is the Top 20 or even Top 30 in the league, but he has been under-estimated for all these years, especially to NBA fans who seldom watch Jazz games.
- Brewer's jump shots are unusually accurate in today game.
- I have to admit that CP3 could perform even better if he is in a better team. In Hornets, he needs to bear huge responsibilities in scoring as a PG. Not healthy to his development.
- Rasual Butler's perimeter shooting is quite deadly in the recent two games. In contrast, Peja Stojakovic has lost his touches. Look at his stats in the last five games and you will know why I have this comment - link.
