I know I said I really wanted to watch this game, and was probably going to watch it on delay later tomorrow evening.

But there's a chance I just might not be in the mood to watch anything tomorrow evening, so I might not watch the game.

Whatever it is, I wish you good luck - whether that's personal, sports, job, apartment, or whatnot.

Misfiring Deron Williams Takes Shot at Nets' Offensive System

 

[nuraman00]

Starting now.

 

[nuraman00]

Desperation bank shot from Foye!

 

[nuraman00]

First few possessions of the game, Millsap struggles posting up against Humphries, then against Wallace.

 

[nuraman00]

Marvin flying one handed fast break jam.

 

[nuraman00]

Let's go Joe Johnson. I feel like I never see him have a big game, over the years. And the times he does on national TV, I miss it.

 

[nuraman00]

Favors blocks Evans but Blatche puts it back.

 

[nuraman00]

Tinsley steals, then has a 1 on 0 fast break.

Tinsley once had a 5 steal + 5 block game.

 

[nuraman00]

Hayward drives from the top of the key, and lays it in.

 

[nuraman00]

Tinsley rebounds, pass it cross to court to Carrol, who lays it in.

 

[nuraman00]

Someone passes it to Joe Johnson for 3!

He now has 12 points in 13 minutes.

 

[nuraman00]

Marshon Brooks uncomfortably brought the ball up the court, uncomfortably dribbled, then leaned and took a shot. He made it.

 

[nuraman00]

Reggie Evans to Lopez!

 

[nuraman00]

Jefferson posts up and scores.

 

[nuraman00]

Wallace at the halftime buzzer. 45-57.

 

[nuraman00]

Millsap doesn't seem to be as good offensively this year.

I wasn't sure if you were going to make it, otherwise I would have made a better effort to sign on.

I thought today could have gone either way. It seemed like the Jazz wanted OT the way they gave the ball away on the last two possessions. It's like they felt bad for Deron Williams, who disappeared in the second half. Not sure if his injury is bothering him too much or what. Don't know what the injury is, but I remember reading him mention it once - elbow or wrist? Something that seemed small but significant. Haven't paid attention to the Nets, just the decreasing numbers by Williams.

Good comeback, but I was disappointed on how they got down by so much towards the half - can't say I didn't expect it. Both local shows said the best the Jazz could hope for on this 4 game road trip was 2-2, with losses to Brooklyn and Miami. They said that Orlando was poorly placed because while it is easier than Miami, it's the second game of a back-to-back. I wouldn't have been surprised by 1-3. Now, I expect 2-2 with Indiana or Orlando - though I could still see 1-3. At least it's not 0-4.

I thought the blocks won the game today. Some blocks are less significant, as in potential misses anyway, but a lot of them today seemed to be likely baskets. Too many threes (20), but perhaps I have been Jazzed.

We swapped likely victories with Spurs and Phoenix. We lost to Memphis as predicted. Now that we beat Brooklyn, I wouldn't be surprised to lose to Indiana. Both have similar records as we do, so a split could be predicted, especially on the road and back-to-back.

I'm only on the 3rd quarter. You spoiled the ending!

My post at 9:12 PM PST said I was at halftime.
