Ugly game last night. If Arroyo doesn't get himself thrown out it would have gone down to the wire.

Nice job by your announcer to falsely say Cassell was booted.   :angry: After all that the refs started calling fouls for breathing to keep it under control.

Yeah, 32-31 at the half and you knew the second half wasn't going to be pretty. Garnett and Kirilenko are a fun matchup to watch. AK plays KG pretty well, as well as you can I suppose.

Our announcer doesn't like Cassell all that much, ever since the Houston days. And since our announcer is one of the most biased in the league, well . . .

Two things I noticed. 1. Arroyo seems to be getting better as the season goes on. Everyone has been thinking he'd be trade bait because Lopez has looked good. But I don't know anymore. Arroyo is a little tougher that Lopez, although Lopez looks like the fastest guy in the league at times . . . and they say he's about 80% as fast as he was before he tore his ACL twice.

2. Cassell is a tough S-O-B. He just batters the opposing PG with his back-it-in style. Lopez didn't stand a chance. Mo Williams and Arroyo did a little better. But still, you guys are going to be tough in the playoffs with an ornery cuss like him running the team.

Anyway, congrats on the win. I was hoping I could brag about how the Jazz are 3-0 against one of the best teams in the league, alas. Your guys were too good.

I definitely hopped the Kirilenko bandwagon last year.  I think he and Artest are the best defenders to come into the league in many years and I'll give AK the nod because he's got his head screwed on straight.  With Cliff Robinson and Robert Horry aging and KG hitting his prime I'd say AK has the best potential for slowing KG.

I like the way Arroyo moves without the ball using very sharp changes of direction.  All three of your points have good quickness.  

Cassells style really does wear guys down.  He's had some terrific 4th quarters as a result.
