Blazers and Clippers Games

Lets start about the Jazz vs Blazers game. Coming into this game you knew that LaMarcus Aldridge was going to have a good game. Every time he plays against Utah, you fear he just might have another career night. Although Millsap held his own on the offensive end, I felt some uneasiness watching Millsap guard Aldridge. Later in the game, it was nice to see a guy who is 6' 10" with a 7' 4" wingspan, in Derrick Favors put a body on him and not allow Aldridge to just shoot over him. What was refreshing, watching the Jazz take full control of the game in the 4th quarter and not let the Blazers back into the game.


The game last night, there are no words to express what I really want
to say, with out getting in trouble, about that game last night. Coming into this game, there were 2 things I really feared. 1: I feared that Doris Burke was going to be one of the commentators. 2: We were going to hear a lot of excitement coming from whomever was going to commentate. Chris Mullin and Terry Gannon, were the ESPN commentators for this game, and from the tip-off, although the first 2 points were an ally-oop by Griffin, had a game plan to promote the Clippers. These guys couldn't stop talking about Griffin and Chris Paul. It almost seemed as if they had a huge crush on them. I understand that they are 2 great players (Griffin, Paul), but for heaven sake, give the Jazz some credit, especially while they are winning. The Jazz were up by 12 at one point, and all we heard about was how great the Clippers were.  Although the Jazz lost, I still like what the Jazz have to offer. The month of February is going to really show us and the rest of the league who we really are. It was sad to watch the Jazz get out rebounded, and it was hard to see Earl Watson go down, because some feel he would have been in the game at the end and could have been the difference maker. Jefferson and Millsap did their jobs, once again, but we needed more. Hayward continues to struggle shooting from the outside, but I still like him on the floor for his defense and ability to create, and I like him in the open floor.
