Jazz Lost to D Howard-less Magic, 15-10
- Without Brewer and Boozer, we lost to Magic without D Howard
- The Q3 collapse is embarassing at Home.
- We have already lost 4 Home games in the regular season, matching the number of loss in last year.
Others,
- Cavaliers’ streak finally ends; Hawks always makes troubles to strong team.
- Bobcats almost upset Pistons. Diaw and Bell need at least 5 games to learn the Larry Brown system.
- Al Harrington has been pouring in some crazy numbers consistently.
- Clippers beat Rockets. Not a surprise to me at all.

Suns-Bobcats Trade
Quote from an article by ESPN Hollinger, “it immediately restores the Suns' flagging hopes of breaking back into the West's upper crust”. I am skeptical about it. I am a partial Suns fans, and I am a fans of both Bell (ex-Jazz also) and Boris Diaw (very versatile player, and looks even physically stronger this season). From what I feel the postive impact won’t be huge (and there is every chance that could be negative).
On the other hand, I think the trade could benefit Bobcats. They have no stars but a bunch of capable players – Okafor (who I have been complimenting in this blog for his recent consistency, perhaps a late-mature player), Felton, D.J. Augustin, Gerald Wallace, + Diaw and Bell. Already a respectable group. I won’t be surprised if we see them in playoff.
