I wathced the game and I couldn't believe the big difference between the first half and the second half. DEFENSE, the bigs blocked out, defended, made layups and did everything right in the second half. Memo was huge in the last half of the 3rd quarter and all of the 4th quarter. AND I have to ask myself WHY they couldn't do it in the 1st quarter as well?? Watching the 1st quarter go down and then the 2nd was like watching a BB team who'd never played together..it was unreal.
BUT hey Jazz got the win and lets hope they move on with more attention to the big details.

Wasn't pretty but a W. Sonics seem to play well for at least 2 quarters against most teams then fold in the 3rd & 4th. As fans we expect the Jazz to be perfect but as long as they win & fill their potential (very subjective)we should support them through their highs & lows. How would you like to be a fan of the Blazers; started great but folded or Seattle? It is normal to always want them to do better & maybe they will. The team is putting together some very talented BB players. Let's support them like the best Jazz fans & enjoy the ride; to the top or heart break but enjoyable.

Memo's growing each year. I like his attitude, that he wants to contribute and to win. I think that's why Sloan likes him in spite of Memo's inability to play great defense all the time. That might improve over time, though. Remember, he's not a quick big man, so has to make up for it in smarts. Experience will gain him what smarts he doesn't naturally have.

Glad to have Memo on the team. Remember, we don't have very many trey threats, even with the acquisition of Korver.

I love this man. A big fella who can shot from downtown. This is unique. I hope he stay here for a long time. We need only a good man 4 brewer.

Nice to see Memo coming back around after being sick.He also is developing a little attitude to boot.
I hope he never becomes an allstar again because he seems to play better when he has something to prove.Plus he's working on expanding his game slowly, but surely. It seems he is not content with merely shooting the three or to be known as a one dimensional player.
