Jazz Lost; D Will and Melo Will Shine this Season

Jazz lost, and Millsap was posterized by Melo. That's all okay. But who can deny that D Will is actually the best PG in the league right now? If Boozer did a little bit better today (no hate, man), we should have won. And Melo is a heck of a player. Everyone should watch out, he will shine this season (just like D Will).

Others,

- Magic has a completly new and interesting squad.

- 0-2 for Cavs. I have to be honest, I am not a fan of LBJ’s ego

"Early in my career, I'd get very upset when you lose two or three games, you'd just feel like you can't turn it around. But I'm at a point in my career now where I know that you can lose two but, at the same time, you don't look too far into it. You learn from the mistakes and you just try to get better."

- I think Wade is taking too many shots. He can, no doubt about it. But at certain point he should (and I believe he would learn that) use his ability to create more easy opportunities for his teammates.

- I don’t really see Hornets as a playoff team this year. Spurs “finished” them in two quarters.

- Amare Stoudamire only took 6 shots in the game. This comes to my surprise. Probably because Clipper 4/5 positions are pretty strong. And think about it, when Griffin comes out + Kaman and Camby. And I still believe Clippers is a dangerous team.

Wow...Jazz Lost 3 Straight

Jazz Games,

- no comments. But I insist AK is an important player while CJ is someone that we should use less.

Others,

- Gerald Wallace's rejection on D Wade is strong, clean, and nice. You got to see the Top 10 Video on Friday from NBA.com.

Jazz Lost 3-Straight

Jazz Game,

- Can't say much, perhaps the players are out of gas after the 3OT game. Even Wade said he did not havc the energy in the loss of another game today.

Others,

- Pops Mensah-Bonsu seems to fit well in Raptors. Let's see whether he can put up consistent performance.

- 154 pts by Suns today

Kobe and Wade, Head-on-Head

Others,

Kobe + Wade = a very enjoyable game to the audience, and perhaps even more enjoyable to two of the most competitive SGs in the league.

I enjoy watching Wade much more than LBJ. Wade looks like playing real basketball while LBJ is like driving his gifted physical engine to the rim.

Another Loss at Home, Jazz drops to 12-8

Jazz Game,

- D Will needs more rest, he is not the D Will we used to see.

- Another solid game by Paul Millsap. Seriously, we don't need Boozer next season.

- Mario Chalmers had two steals from D Will, I did say he is a good rookie in the very beginning of the season, and I stressed that being a rookie PG is even more difficult.

- Wade is playing at his best, I don’t need to repeat anymore. I would vote him over LBJ for MVP up till now.

Others,

- Emeka Okafor has a few consecutive good games, a lately mature player? or Larry Brown?

- Rajon Rondo has a monster game, still think he is slightly overrated…call me stubborn.

- Zach Randolph are meshing well with Clippers. Give them 2-3 more games, they will be quite a team to beat.

Who are playing at their best recently?

My picks,

Dwyane Wade
Devin Harris
Chris Bosh

Assists Looks Easy on D Will's hands, Jazz stood at 11-6

Jazz Game,

- a blowout Q3 sealed the game

- 2nd Game (after the 2nd return), D Will has a solid performance with 15 dishes

- 8 players in double figures, does anyone still doubt about our bench depth?

Others,

- Parker and Ginobili are back

- Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade are currently in their top form

AK Show, Jazz improved to 8-4

A bit of a roller-coaster game, built up a great lead, trailed by 2 points after first half, and it expanded to 10 points until the team did a great execution from the later part of Q3 onwards.

Highlights,

- AK, 16 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, five steals and four blocks. Salute! He has made a strong statement in the Wins against Suns vs Bucks - even he is the Sixth Man, he is indispensable in the team. He is basically everywhere, both on the defensive and offensive end. As of now, he is definitely the MVP of the team.

Quote from Price - "His (AK) capabilities to get in passing lanes and make plays happen on defense is incredible. That's why he's a key player on our team, and you can tell the difference when he's on the court and when he's not on the court."

I hope we can see him in All-Star (by coach voting of course...) this year, I hope he could win the Sixth Man Award, and perhaps he can also be in the Defensive First Team.

- CJ, 25 points. Got a feeling that in the offensive end CJ and Brewer are quite similar, perhaps CJ shooting range is even better. In defensive play Brewer should have an edge.

Other Highlights in the day,

- Hornets lost to Kings at Home. I have to say Hornets is one of overrated teams in the league. No offense to CP3, great player, but the whole team is not as formidable as the press has been bragging about. (P.S. Kings won without Kevin Martin, Mikki Moore)

- Wade, 40-pt night. As said many times, his form has been crazy from Day 1 (actually you can see his craziness in Beijing this summer). In the East, I am more inclined to support Pistons, Raptors and the Heat.

- Pistons won Lakers, and today won Cavaliers. They will play Celtics tomorrow. Again, Win-Win trade for Pistons and Nuggets.

Jazz Lost to a Winless Team, 6-2

About Jazz game,

- Matt Harpring is back. Will wait for you contribution!

- I doubt on the decision on playing D Will for 30+ mins back to back. I am okay if he plays some 20-25 mins to get himself warm-up, but not for that long considering that he can't do a good defense and in the offensive end he can't do explosive steps, but just perimeter shooting.

- Anyway, not a game I want to talk about anymore, a loss to a winless team...

Other highlights of today,

- Shaq is back, and he is a real entertainer, watch this video - link.

"Somebody pushed Steve so I had to take care of my little man," O'Neal said. "It wasn't nothing serious, though, just a push and shoving match."

McGrady felt O'Neal's strength.

"The big fella pushed the heck out of me," McGrady said. "It's basketball, it happens and after that we just went back to playing. A big thing for us is we kept our composure and won this ballgame."

- Paul Pierce, another money shot. Big play.

- Rudy Fernandez, another huge game, 25 points. He is flirting with both Sixth Man Award and Rookie of the Year Award.

- Wade, is really back this season. If Marion can play what he supposed to be playing, Heat is a real force in the East.
