Jazz ... Unbelievable ! Utah goes 10-1

 

boozer kept the jazz atop the nba standings with 35 points ( 14-16 FGs , 88 % shooting !) and nine rebounds. okur posts a double double ( 17 pts; 13 rebs) and dwill pitches in 12 pts and eight assist.

 

paul millsap continued his strong showing off the bench with a career high 20 points and seven rebounds ( five offensive) .

a bit of trivia ... jerry sloan has always been called " the best nba coach never to win a coach of the year award."

 

that may change this year ... right mazinger ?

 

i thought sloan would win several years ago, when he narrowly lost to hubie brown. i certainly hope he wins this year.

 

btw, i read recently that sloan is even tougher than bowen during his playing days. that probably explains why his number was retired by the bulls.

I remember a commentator said (during the Utah Jazz championship run vs. the Jordan-led Bulls team) that if PhilJax and Jerry Sloan would fight in a game.. He would be picking Jerry Sloan to win coz Sloan as he said is a hard-nosed defender during his time with the Bulls and can slug it out with the best big men at that time..

 

Hey, F.F., you may want to visit the NBA Basketball cards thread sa "hobbies" section.. I have posted a collage of my Deron Williams rookie card collection.. :cool: Yknow, with the way the sun is shining in Utah, I really doubt if my Spurs could win against the Jazz this coming week.. :D

great win for Sloans 900th...i agree if they make the playoffs he should win COY...however he shouldve won it a few seasons ago with a really bad squad, remember Arroyo was leading them!!!

 

but Hubie also did wonder in Memphis...it was a tough choice...

Totally agree with your observation...

 

If the Jazz make the playoffs, I think Sloan is a lock even if Atlanta or another surprise team makes the playoffs...

you gotta love this guy. in this age of egotistic players and equally egotistic coaches ... here's a quote taken from sloan right after he posted his 900th win as a jazz coach and 994th win as an nba coach ...

 

"It really doesn't mean anything," he said. "That's the way I've always played this game, and always thought about it. I'm just here as a coach, but it is a players' game. It always has been and always will be."

 

whatta guy. and this time I mean it. :cool:

i just cannot understand some of the sports "experts." last month they were saying the jazz won't even make the playoffs. now, they're saying they won't get very deep in the postseason.

 

am particularly pissed at charlie rosen of fox. he describes utah as a severely flawed team. duh.

 

dude ... there's no better revenge than watching the jazz go deep ( hopefully ) into the playoffs and seeing these guys eat their words. btw ... can you send me a link to charlie rosen's article / interview ? thanks !

it's a little dated (the jazz were 5-1 then), but smacks of how these "experts" think. they refuse to acknowledge that the jazz slipped by their expert eyes. at least steve kerr qualified his statements, that the jazz, barring injuries would make noise.
