Jazz had a Good Start after All-Star Break

Jazz got an easy win, even without Okur.

Others,

- Tyson Chandler <=> Joe Smith, Chris Wilcox. We won't see all the alley-oops from CP3 to Chandler anymore.

- T Mac will miss the rest of the season. With all due respect, that's at worst a neutral news. Recently we can all see Rockets is actually playing better without him.

- A monster game by Dwight Howard - 45 pts, 19 rebs, 8 blks, in a OT win.

Jazz Lost in Houston

Jazz Games,

- Excluding Boozer, it seems that somehow we can't have a full team. Sometimes Paul Millsap, and this time AK.

Others,

- Danilo Gallinari, rookie from NYK, had some consecutive good games.

- DeAndre Jordan had two impressive games since he replaced the injured Camby. It seems that LAC does not need Chris Kaman anymore.

- Warriors lost on poor defense in the last defence. No excuse. – link

Jazz Rolled Over Trail Blazers in the Preseason Finale

In the first half, still the old defense problem – can’t stop the perimeter shooting from the opponents. This kills us when the other team has hot hands, and they do in first half.

But the intensity we put on defense in second half is something Coach Sloan would like to see, and hopefully we can carry this momentum in the regular season.

Kyle Korver has another sharp shooting night, hitting 4 out of 6 three point attempts. When we are in full team, are there anyone wouldn’t be jealous on our 2nd Team? Ronnie, Korver, AK, Millsap + Harpring / Fesenko / Kosfos.

One thing I am glad to see is the mutual respect from Price and Knight.

Let’s see what they told the press after the game,

Knight – “Like I told you when I got here, it wasn't going to be a me vs. him (Price)".

Price – "He hasn't been around just to be around. He's been around for a reason and that's because he can play. He provides a presence on the floor that shows that he's a leader and he knows what he's doing."
