First Quarter

12:00 Camby the oldest man the Association

10:50 1-2 great game thus far... ugly everywhere.

10:04 Refs calling this game tighter than “No Comment”

8:45 Millsap gets impregnated by three Blazers at once. 3-3

8:21 Hayward gets pinned against the glass both him and the ball

First Time Out Ty dropping Forget You Bombs!

I got to be honest I don’t hate it commercial Raja Bell

4:42  Hayward showing us the Sacramento was a fluke.. Air-ball

4:00 Howard with the baseline three. Por 17-12

3:18 Watson and Kanter enter

12:00 #LetEvansDunk

10:22 What Up Doe Jumper?

9:07 Kanter going beast mode on rebounds reverse layup. He is outstanding at finding the ball. If he was as good at finishing as he was rebounding uh oh.

6:04 Kanter with the Moving screen this is so ugly.

5:33 Miles being aggressive and it pays off with a finger roll. Booner saying something about Rack

4:33 Feels like 50 only down eleven on Felton’s Three.

2:55  Everyone was invited to the party where we just stand around and watch Felton grab it.

5 assists and we are shooting 29% and within striking distance.

2:20 Hayward using the rim as a passing utensil.

:23 Jazz run a PNR with Earl and Sap and sweet pass from Miles.

End of First Half

Ugliest half of the season. Hayward might have gotten too much from Kolbi. Kanter can rebound,and he can do it well. He has shown that against some generally good rebounders. His position and planning on misses is very good. It is not a coincidence Miles is staying aggressive but needs to finish with at least 20 to win this game.


10:09 LMA with  five straight points pushing the lead to ten. Millsap struggling on defense tonight.

8:08 Harris with a floater over Camby. Harris is playing more aggressive and good things are happening. Insert Free Throw joke her.

5:25 LMA is going nuts he can’t be stopped.  Millsap gets Blocked and Camby yells,” Get that shit outta here.”  It is also apparent that Millsap is struggling with this match-up and has not played so well after the past couple of games.

2:55 Harris to Millsap alley-oop on a fast break. 63-50 Portland. Hayward has heated up in the second half, this mostly due to the fact that Kolbi has left town.

Local commercials kill me now.

2:00 Harris with a drive and bucket Jazz down one 63-62 Harris to it hard to the rack and finished on a little fade away.

:32.9  Worst Call of the Night

:2.4  Harris with TWO free throws to end the third  70-69 Por

Fourth Quarter

11:56 Watson steal and Evans one of two free throws 70 all

9:58 What up Doe? one of the prettiest right hand moves I have ever seen from Cj Miles.

9:23 Evans with a put back dunk that rocked the house Batum going unconscious

8:13  Evans with a NBA Jam ridiculous... just ridiculous...

6:50 Standing ovation for Evans.

6:23 Millsap puts the Jazz up by one 18 foot jumper.  He hasn’t shot very well but has played hard and well.

5:30 Jazz up five on Earl Watson’s middle of the lane floater 84-79

3:05 Earl Watson with steal... poked it out of Batum’s hands.

1:43 Millsap with a one on one fade away against LMA. Things getting chippy and the fans are quietly optimistic.

1:23 Watson with the Subway Sub of the Game.

:24 89-87 Utah up Millsap just got triple teamed and lost the ball in the lane and Portland had three straight open looks to take the lead, but no one did. Nate calls time out with 14 second left on the shot clock and 24 left on the game clock.

:13 Hayward misses the first and the Jazz continue to miss free throws late in the game. Jazz lead 90-87 Gordon could have sealed the deal but decided not to make the first. He wants it to be more interesting.

:4.6 CJ Miles goes to the line for two free throws.  Swishes the first for a sigh of relief.

:2.3  Gordon get the rebound on the second Mile miss and heads to the line... Hits the first and second.

End of Game Utah Jazz 93-89

Ugly win, but Jazz show guts and grind out a win. They were down 11 at one point. and overcame a shooting expedition from Nicholas Batum in the fourth quarter. All of the Jazz startes minus Favors end up in double digits. This was definitely a team win.
