Jazz Solidifed No.3 Spot!

Winning Melo- & Mr. Big Shot-less Nuggets? I will take that! It's not like we have not lost games without our key players :P

After this win, we "solidified" our No.3 spot, and have a "good look" at No.2 now! Go Jazz!

AK is playing really well and getting more minutes (40 mins today). It's quite a thing because remember the days he was kept under 30 mins for a looooong time?

Short-handed Jazz lost to Bobcats, 6-3

Jazz game,

- without D Will, Okur and AK, at best it is a (Jazz) 55-45 (Bobcats) game. Lost is not a BIG surprise, but of course disappointing.

- the only shining spot is Koufos, 9 pts, 10 rebs, and 5 blocks

Others,

- Mavs is in a deep hole, 2-7. They have got a good team, but it seems the new Coach still needs to find a new system for them

- Tim Duncan shows his quality, some clutch shots and a key block on Brooks brought his team to a victory

- Most importantly, Lakers lost, and ther is no more unbeaten teams

- By the way, Nuggets brought down Celtics. Perhaps my intial thought that the Iverson-Billups trade is a Win-Win move, is actually right.

Millsap single-handedly destroyed Clippers, brings Jazz to 3-0

Another Great Win, Jazz is 3-0 now.

Highlights of the Game:
- Millsap scored 15 straight points in 4 min 10 sec in Q4, his turn-around movement looks better which create chances for layups / short jumpers
- single digit TOs = 9
- FT 25/31, much better than last game
- 3PT 0/10
- Kosfos is blocked by Kaman again in this game

Others:
- Iverson to Pistons, Billups to Nuggets; looks like a Win-Win trade, Pistons can get the spark that they badly need, while Nuggets can get a real quality PG
