Love fest with the refs and KoDwight, on the line all night, with Dwight hucking up enough bricks to bring home the Jazz W

Awesome game tonight! Nice team game. I love watching Kobe take the ball at half court and not even look at any of his teammates. He has turned Howard into an average player.

What a great win. I mean, I know the Lakers are struggling, but the Jazz really look like they are starting to get it together as a team.

Mo has been looking great, he's averaging 15 points, 9 assists and less than 3 turnovers in the last 5 games. He really looks so much better setting guys up and delivering the ball, playing like a true PG.

Millsap is back baby. After a couple bad games and a few more so-so ones he has looked completely rejuvenated in his last 3 outings.

Gordon Hayward is looking much better, and much more comfortable and confident coming off the bench. He's averaging 15 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2 assists while shooting 45/45/90 in the last 5 games.

And Big Turkey, can't say enough about the stuff he's shown in the last two games, just a load under the basket with great footwork and strength. Still got a ways to go, but things are looking really good for this young player.

Most importantly, over the last two games the Jazz have been playing great team basketball, making the extra pass, running the break, helping on D...

But both of those teams were struggling, it will be interesting to see how the Jazz do against the likes of San Antonio and Memphis, when they both come to ESA next week.

I think Howard has turned himself into an average player, he looks weak and slow. Kanter kicked his ass in the 4th quarter.

I think it's more of, A. He doesn't want to be in L.A and never did, and B. He knows Kobe is a ball hog and will never work to get other guys involved.

He gets so caught up in proving a point that he takes his takes his teammates out of the game all the time and the have no rhythm at all. Kobe would rather score 40 and lose than score 10 and them win! If he is having an off night, He will chuck up even more shots than normal to make sure he gets his points.

I'm sure Howard is still recovering from the back issues, but I don't believe he went from being the best Center in the league to what is now of it. I don't see Howard signing with the Jazz this off season. He will probably go to Brooklyn where he wants to play.

Team basketball; those guys did it tonight, and have been lately. Same reason I've always loved the Jazz. One of the bigger reasons I liked Gordo added to this team. He can shoot, pass/make good decisions, do all the little things that create possessions, create good shots. Paul of course the ultimate example of this. DC, perfect too.
Its moving the ball, taking what the D gives you sometimes. And then going and drafting a guy like UnderKanter, who can just be a brut, getting in the way on D, and getting easy bunnies on O. Great balance on this squad, and if they can continue with the chemistry, and the young guys improving, we have a balanced, talented, scary team.

Nice win by the Jazz. With or without Gasol, the Jazz looked like the hungrier team, even in LaLa Land.

Jazz won by 7.

Kobe (14) + Howard (2) > Jazz starting five (15) in FT's.

Everyone went with the Laker Duo getting more FT's, which made me think it was a bad GTS question, but the 1 FT edge tells me it wasn't as bad as I thought.

You fellers are cute. Praising multi-millionaires for executing against a ragtag group giving everything and still not half NBA quality players. Precious, really.

Fans getting excited when professionals crush highschool clubs.

That's funny, I heard the experts saying the Lakers had the best lineup in NBA history before the season. It wasn't true, but it's still nice seeing all these Kobe ballsuckers make excuses for the Lakers.

No Nash & no Gasol.... very true.
No Favors either, but not quite the same effect.

However, that Laker team looked pretty bad & the Jazz clearly played with more heart & energy.

I agree that it's not the same things as beating a fully-stocked Laker team, but doesn't mean that the win is meaningless either. The Jazz NEED road wins badly, so this could go a long way for their youngish minds.
