After a big win over the Clippers last night, the Utah Jazz is sitting nicely atop the NBA with its best record.
Both teams came into the game with only one loss, and the laws of math says the Jazz are the only ones still in that position.
Seven and one, baby – and they did it without Andrei Kirilenko, one of the staples of their defense.
Who stepped up in his place? None other than rookie Paul Millsap, who not only doesn’t sound like an NBA player, but does sound like a character in a badly written Jim Carrey movie from 1997 or so.
“I don’t understand how a young guy like Paul Millsap gets his hands on the ball as much as he did,” Sloan said. “I’ve been around this game a long time … and that’s more (deflections) than ordinary guys who’ve been in the league. He was all over the place.”
“Young guys should be able to compete their guts out every night starting out there in the ballgame,” 64-year-old Sloan said. “I understand there’s a learning process, and all that. But if you dreamed about playing in the NBA, and you get a chance to play, then you should be alive.”
Are you listening, [insert name of your favorite veteran New York Knicks here]?
There’s something to be said for simply working hard. Dennis Rodman made at least the basketball part of his career out of it.
Not speaking of Dennis Rodman, how good would the Knicks be if Jerry Sloan were their coach? 5-2 instead of 2-5? Possibly. He probably would’ve just punched Starbury in the face by now, and Eddy Curry would be sitting in the locker room …expanding the caloric storage of his fat cells.
As for the Clippers, despite the loss, they’re off to a great start and certainly one of the more stable teams in the NBA at the moment. Sometime during the 2013 season that should stop sounding odd.

That is 100% CJ Miles (2nd year player out of high school) and not Paul Millsap. You’re fallin’ off Cav.
LA Times miscaptioned the pic then. No argument that on the fallin’ off thing, though.
whoa i’m a black dude?
Kobe is being sued for elbowing a fan about a year ago…
The Jazz are no joke. I told all you suckas that Deron Williams was the real deal. No one ever lets players get passed their first year before they judge them. I sill believe he’s going to end up a better player than CP3.
Eddy Curry says he likes to eat ding dongs of the chocolate variety (no longer in the aluminum foil wrapper)
The ding dongs don’t have an aluminum wrapper any more or Curry stopped eating the wrapper? Which?
Eddy Curry’s Mama has been storing Ding Dong’s in her basement since ’76. After he ate that supply in 1999, he began eating the Ding Dong’s of today (without aluminum foil wrapper). He is still trying to decide if he enjoys the ‘majestic creme filling’ or the chocolate coating. Either way, he enjoys his mouthful of chocolate goodness. On a side note, Eddy once ate a hockey puck thinking it was a Ding Dong…it was not
Whats with the Eddie Curry bashing? Don’t the Cavs have a big, fat, dopey, ugly looking beast in the middle they call “Z”? I like the Tim Thomas picture, but remember if it weren’t for him you Suns fans would have lost in the first round to a sub par Laker team.
Z is handsomer than Tony Parker.
how long until someone starts a blog called Eddy Curry’s Ding Dongs
What a gay thing to say Frank.
OK, so does anybody else think that ‘Tony Parker’ is just a new bizarre alter-ego of The Cavalier? I know I do. Its like you’ve taken the panda thing in a whole new twisted, juvenile direction. Or the deer, mabye its the deer.

First blog topic:
Who has bigger boobies? Eddy Curry or Eva Longoria
I am not ‘The Cavalier’ Mr. Detroit. Man that Game 7 win in 05 was a thing of beauty wasnt it? 2 years later, Pistons suck. I’m not surprised. wiwi.
TP, do you like me?
Too bad you SUCKED in that series like you seemingly have in every big playoff series your entire career. Lindsay Hunter owned your ass in that series! You couldn’t even get the ball across half court.Luckily y’all had Big Shot Rob to save your asses…
Thank you Mrs. Jones for the whiny history lesson.
It’s not me or anybody I know, unless it’s actually Chris Kaman.
I like you, TP. Do you like me?
Hey Tony, you should’ve had your buddy Bruce pull the ol’ foot under the shooter move on The Mustache, y’all could’ve pulled out a win. Against the Bobcats.
THANK YOU! It’s about time the Jazz get some recognition. Other than the CJ mistake in the picture I really enjoyed it.
Paul Milsap? Old news. What’s hot now: Renaldo!
Renaldo went for 18 yesterday! Eighteen and seven, biatches! Who’s laughing now? Who’s laughing now, heh?
Everybody’s still laughing? Oh, ok then.
Still, it was great to see the Renaldo man going for 18 right on the evening after a bunch of “this rookie class ain’t worth shit” press stories.
Yes senor Detroit. We lost against the Bobcats. But so did the Cavs. And you all lost to the Hornets. Wtf is going on? wiwi.
