Live Blog - Jazz v. Sixers
Every Jazz game this year David Locke will be keeping a live blog with analysis and breakdowns.
Put any questions in on the comment zone and I will get to them during the live blog.
HIT REFRESH AND THE LATEST UPDATE WILL BE ON TOP.
FINAL SCORE -- JAZZ 106 SIXERS 95
Professional win tonight. Gives the Jazz a 2-1 trip and a 5-4 road record
Most of this game was in the half court
Defensive Rebounding would be the only concern
Boozer and Williams were obviously the best players on the floor
D-Will 12 assists and 1 turnover in a game that was almost all half court is strong
Starters were dominant tonight, the bench added very little.
5:50 4th Quarter -- Jazz 91 Sixers 84
Sixers are staying just close enough to capitalize on a bad stretch
Jazz have had to play a lot of zone because of Philly's line-ups
Jason Hart in as the 2 rather than Ronnie Price
The pick n roll will work every time
Defensive Rebounding is a big issue for Utah.
End of 3rd Quarter -- Jazz 77 Sixers 68
Brewer having a nice game.
Philly's Willie Green is really awful. If I coached he would never play. Louis williams should get his mintues.
Hart hit two jumpers.
Okur out with an injury to his back
2:58 3rd Quarter -- Jazz 69 Sixers 58
Everything is in the half court. Jazz don't have a single transition bucket this half.
Okur is playing better
Brewer moves without the ball fantastically for a young player
The bench rotation is starting. It was dreadful in the first half, how will it be this time?
8:49 3rd Quarter -- Jazz 59 Sixers 46
Boom. Great start.
Everything is in the half court but the Jazz are executing well.
Defensive rebounding is still an issue.
Dalembert is out with 4 fouls so it is free roads to the bucket.
Jazz have scored on all 5 possessions.
Hafltime -- Jazz 49 Sixers 44
nice work by the starters they entered it was 37-38.
Boozer turned his ankle late in the quarter
The game is almost exclusively half court.
The pick and roll is still unstoppable. The Sixers are putting subtle pressure on the Jazz to slow them down in the half court.
I actually am impressed a little by how Philly is approaching the game, they are running sets, they are getting mismatches, they are backdooring, defensively they are playing as a unit.
Jason Smith might be ok as well.
5:6 2nd Quarter -- Sixers 36 Jazz 35
Amazingly sloppy game. Really ugly. I mean U-G-L-Y you don't have no .....
Jazz bench gave them nothing. You have to get something from the bench on the 3rd game in 4 nights.
They were really poor. In 12 offensive possessions the Jazz had 1 field goal with the bench on the floor. Two other trips went to the free throw line. Otherwise really bad
The defense was decent so the Jazz stayed in the game.
Starters are back in.
End of 1st Quarter - Sixers 27 Jazz 25
Slow paced game thus far. Jazz shouldn't be allowing 27 points a quarter in a slow paced game.
Reggie Evans got Carlos Boozer with a flop and Boozer has 2 fouls again.
Foul trouble caused the Jazz the Knicks game.
Milsap will need to link another good game.
2:45 1st Quarter -- Jazz 25 Sixers 25
Game of runs. Jazz opened 11-2. Sixers followed with 16-2. Jazz then went 6-0.
Sixers scored on 10 straight possessions at one point
Okur has eight. He has been going to the basket.
Sixers can't guard the pick n roll.
Keys to the Game
1. Defensive Rebounding
2. Make Philly work on offense
3. Ronnie Brewer bounce back

Re: Live Blog - Jazz v. Sixers
do think the jazz are looking to trade gordan or is he just in the dog house?

Re: Live Blog - Jazz v. Sixers
First I am not sure any of these options are working very well so you may need Gordan. The other thought is they are checking all these other out to see what they need to trade Gordan for. His contract ends at the end of the season so he has value. Moreover, you are far better off trading for a player you want than letting the free agent market dictate your choices.

Re: Live Blog - Jazz v. Sixers
Locke,
I did a little checking and the salaries would work out (according to one NBA GM site) Gordan and Mr. Collins for Joe Pryzbilla from Portland. He gives you a defensive inside presence, plus with the stockpile of young guards I think that the Jazz can live with out Gordon, and Collins is smart but basketball? I don't think so.

Re: Live Blog - Jazz v. Sixers
I can't say I'm surprised that Sloan has benched Giricek again. It's not the first time. A few years ago Giricek was hitting something like 55% of his shots and Sloan benched him in favor or Kirk Snyder who couldn't hit a shot to save his life.
Now it's deja vu all over again. Giricek is the still the team's best outside shooter but Sloan would rather play D-league caliber talents like Price and Hart for reasons only he knows.
