- Rasheeeeeeeeeeeed to Celtics! wow! I think it is a bigger news than VC to Magic.
I don't know those good and (relatively) elder players just love the Celtics franchise, KG(?) or the high possibility of getting a Ring in the less competitive Eastern Conference, they just join them one by one. From PJ Brown, Sam Cassell, Stephon Marbury (I don't want to show any disrespect by not listing him) to Rasheed Wallace.
Any players fit the above profile would like to join Jazz? : ) Well, to be fair, we once had Derek Fisher.
- The rumour of AK trade with T-Mac, I guess it is probably, rumour. I don't see why Rockets need AK when they have got Ariza. Their styles are alike and (probably) Ariza has better 3-pt shooting...

Back-to-Back, Win and Lose
Jazz Game(s),
- Brewer did well in both games. As said earlier, he is the X factor in playoff.
- After losing to Suns, I guess we need to be realistic and be mentally prepared we would play the whole playoff wihout homecourt advantage.
- With current rotation system, AK does not have enough time to warm up and play well. Look at his stats in last 5 games, awful. I don't blame him, but we need to figure out how to use him better.
Others,
- With some expecations from the public, Marbury looks to be a non-factor to the Celtics at the moment.

Sloan, Coach of the Year?
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 Lost in Staples Centre
Jazz Games,
- an expected loss. We are not in full team anyway, and the game is somewhat close in Q3 and first 7-8 mins of Q4. Same old problem, we opened the game in a bad shape.
- Millsap, indeed something. He was in a bit of foul trouble, playing only 31 mins but scored 16 pts and grabbed 17 rebs.
- I have seen about 20 mins of Jazz-Lakers game, and I saw a few times Jazz players (one of them is CJ) make similar mistakes when Lakers have some potential easy baskets.
In these situations, either you i) foul on them hard enough to not let them finish two points (and hopefully soft enough to not have flagrant foul), or ii) you give them two points.
We give them "And 1" almost every time.
I don't believe Jazz players are not tough enough to foul hard, but some of them just don't have the "blink" to make the right decision in the tenths of the second. In those moments, the player basically can't think but react with their instincts.
However, either you are born with it (the instinct, the basketball wisdom), or you need to nurture those instincts through lots of games (experience).
For the record, I think D Will does possess the wisdom, but I am not sure about CJ & Brewer.
Others,
- Marbury may go to Celtics. A reunion with KG? - link.
