... on the floor - a pretty serious team. Led by Rush and Smith, the Clippers took the lead 82-81 with 8 and half minutes left and never trailed again. Again, let me emphasize that this is pre-season - Jerry Sloan may have started the quarter with some starters on the floor, but by the end it was ...

... But whatever configuration of players Utah coach Jerry Sloan has, you better believe he'll coach the heck out of them. Sloan was named to the Hall of Fame last month, but Jazz officials will make sure Sloan, who hates it when somebody makes a fuss over him, won't be introduced before games as any sort of living legend. ...

Ronnie Brewer- Free Agent?
SLC Dunk —
... But if I need to make a prediction about this season, I think that Brewer is going to get a lot of playing time for the first two months with CJ Miles and Kyle Korver injured. And if he starts to shoot well and can be counted on to make free throws, then he is going to finish a lot more games than he has the last two seasons. And that is how you will be able to tell if Jerry Sloan thinks Ronnie Brewer's offense has improved: does Brewer play at the end of games? i don't think Brewer is going to turn into ...

KP: I definitely think Van Gundy should have won a year ago. Like his team as a whole, he seems to have a hard time convincing the national media that he is a world-class coach. If the Magic challenges for first place in the Eastern Conference during the regular season, it will be hard to deny Van Gundy this year.
BD: SVG deserves the award someday, but not until Jerry Sloan gets one.

... issues of a couple of years ago, and Boozer’s sons battle with a disease of his own, one thing Jerry Sloan mentioned that would be crucial for the year would be not only the health of his players, but also his players families. The reason I mention this is Memo’s wife, Yeliz, is pregnant with their second child and is due around the all-star break. While I obviously wish nothing but the best for the Okur family, it is worth noting how much this will weigh on Memo’s mind throughout the season. ...

Interesting fact about Utah, in all seriousness, the women there are insane hot. Not as hot as Texas because there is less diversity, but if you like white women, then you have found your mecca
Ronnie Brewer is good
Kirilenko is still a cry baby
Mehmet Okur can still shoot, but still can't play defense. He also can't hold injured Yao's jock

Paul Millsap Player Preview- The elephant in the room
SLC Dunk —
... better defense and challenges shots. But one thing really matters to the Jazz season right now and that is whether or not Carlos Boozer will be traded. Millsap's season absolutely hinges on this question. It isn't like Millsap has really proven that he should be the starting power forward or anything, but at this point, it is a question of morale as well as personnel. Nobody really wants Boozer to start over Millsap other than the guy whose opinion matters: Jerry Sloan. But, and this but is almost as big as Missy Elliots', ...

I understand you might not be a great motivator, but thinking that the millions the players make should be motivation enough is a poor excuse for not trying to rally your troops. ...

With Toney and Larry Hughes in the backcourt, New York was able to disrupt a lot of passes and even turn some steals into fast break buckets. At the same time, though, Utah accepted the challenge to shoot and did so with considerable success. Andrei Kirilenko hit 5 of 8 threes, many of which were so wide open that the nearest defender was someone in the crowd. Jerry Sloan also made his squad stack one side of the floor, which meant ...
Is Sloan keeping his defensive promises?
SLC Dunk —
... 's inability to put together full defensive efforts for the entire game. After hearing a few weeks of the team preaching nothing but defense, the Jazz have been incredibly disappointing in this regard. But I had higher hopes when I heard Jerry Sloan mention that he would be benching players who didn't commit to playing defense. I believed him at the time and I think it's the only way he is going to get to some of these players. Taking away playing time is really the only way he can effect his team and get his point across. It ...
