    We're looking like crap after the first 8 minutes. Went from 19-13 Utah to 25-19 real quick. McLeod is looking nice, D-Will got a nice steal on Devin Harris.

    It's 31-25 right now, Kirilenko isn't doing so well, 2-6 from the FT line. This just in too, Jarron Colllins has HOPS!

    D-Will is starting to look really nice, he's showing good vision and nailed a shot from 60 feet to end the 3rd quarter.

    Utah wins 93-82 in D-Will's debut. Okur's miracle shot sparked us and we finished them off. D-Will will be starting with in the next 5 games at most after watching him today.

    Jazz win, 93 - 82. The Jazz outscored the Mavericks 28 - 15 in the 4th quarter. As a team they made 7 3's. Deron Williams had 18 points in his first regular season game. Mehmet Okur had 27 points and 8 rebounds, and hit some big shots. Andrei Kirilenko had a bad shooting night, but did well on the boards and blocks.

    Crazy shot by Williams, and even crazier shot by Okur.

    Im lovin Williams already... He coulda used a few more assists, but he definetely has court vision. Some of his good passes just weren't finished. He's an awesome shooter. Okur was hot, Kirilenko sucked though.

    Jazz are 1-0-0 ! Positive ratio!

    I loved Deron Williams in college, and I'm going to love him in the pros. Everyone who was saying he's going to struggle to score, how's 3/4 from deep and 18 points in his first game? Obviously it's very early in the year, but I think Deron is going to be just fine. You Jazz guys are going to love him, but you don't need me to tell you that [​IMG]

    I love him already, the 3/4 shot won my opinion [​IMG] I disagreed when they took him over Paul, but now I agree [​IMG]

    This was a great game. Deron Williams, you're my hero. Kirilenko, not so much. 1-0 Jazz, we haven't seen this since like, last year!

    GO JAZZ!![​IMG]

    Very impressive win...Okur and Williams really showed me a lot...I think Deron's going to be an awesome find at point, and while I always knew he was a great passer and stable defender, his shooting has been what's impressed me the most...he's going to make life a lot easier for Boozer and Okur once he enters that starting lineup...
