It was pretty cool. I got to see Andrei make some sweet plays. I was just to the left of the hoop on one of the baselines. In the first half, Gerald Wallace, who had a nice game, came swooping in with this two-handed dunk after adjusting in mid-air to avoid Boozer or somebody (can't remember that part). But man it was a sweet dunk.
The Jazz lost. To the Bobcats . . . who didn't have Okafor. It was pathetic.
I now know the Jazz' problem. They don't have a point guard. Eisley SUCKS at running an offense. He turns his back to the rim every damn time, so he can see maybe a third of the court. So the defense knows exactly where the ball is going. Lopez was much better IMO, but he got in foul trouble. The Jazz have good young players, but outside of Kirilenko and sometimes Okur, they don't have anyone who can really move the ball.
I left with 5:30 left because i didn't want to get home at midnight. We had a nine point lead. By the time I got to my car with 3:30 left, it was tied. Sad sad sad.
Damn Carlos Arroyo and Jerry Sloan to hell.
Note: I'm not sure I have ever seen a guy play harder than AK. Unless he's setting a screen, he is constantly moving, trying to get open. And he's not just running to get open, he's going full out. When he wasn't in, the offense just totally stagnated. I can't remember how many times I could count three Jazz players standing in the corner right in front of me watching what was going on. Very poor movement. You'd never know it though by the score in the hundreds, but it was a fairly ugly game. Fun though. And the prime rib and braised lamb were pretty tasty.
