The Nuggets defense is also keeping them in the game. The Jazz are shooting 36% from the field and Boozer, Okur and Williams are a combined 8-for-35. Throw in Brewer and they're 11-for-43. If the Nuggets weren't giving up so many offensive boards, Smith could have been having an average night and this game would have been over in the 3rd quarter.
I thought he would be trouble,but he has made me eat crow. Having him on our team would have helped Yao quite a bit.
This guy is like Eddie House......I swear everytime I watch their games their almost automatic from downtown.
The Nuggets are one of the most careless, dumb teams out there. This should have been no contest midway through the 3rd quarter. If the Jazz weren't so inept on the road, they would have come back and taken the lead. The 2nd half has been so poorly played it reminds of watching a T-Wolves vs. Grizzlies game. Without J.R. Smith, the Jazz would be ahead.
I must admit, I don't think I've seen a team blow so many layups and inside shots that they should be making.
the nuggets play streetball when billups is having an off game...............Boozer needs to get t'd up for trying to fool officials with all that hollering when he makes a move..................Now they are using vocal flops ....................Pathetic
i can only imagine if new orleans still had jr smith and chris anderson and brandon bass playing for them...they would be a huge problem for us
Good point. It's interesting to see a heady player like Billups on the floor with Melo, K-Mart, Nene, Smith, Andersen, etc... All the latter 4 players have some kind of history of losing focus or losing their temper. Kleiza isn't always all there either.
