Finally, someone chose Utah Will be interesting!

Thanks,
i was sure to use a Western Team this time, but i was torn between Sacramento and Utah. Even the Jazz never had the big glamour like other team its still one of the most successful.
Still crazy the Jazz never won a championship despite their high-class rosters in the 80's and 90's. They always ran into other legendary teams of that era.

Game 1


- Intro -






Shoot-Out versus the Rockets

The first game of the NBA regular season was a matchup of two all time rivals in the Western Conference. The Utah Jazz welcomed the Houston Rockets for a Shoot-Out in Energy Solutions Arena. Two teams in equal going-in positions, both teams missed the Playoffs, either teams lost their franchise faces in D-Will and Yao Ming last season.

A win in this game has a big importance, as both teams are supposed to fight for those last seeds to make the Playoffs this year. So it was a all or nothing atmosphere straight in the first minutes.

The Houston Rockets went for open three pointers right from the beginning. Terrence Williams, Kyle Lowry and Kevin Martin almost perfect from past the arc. A poor defensive effort of the Jazz made it possible. In addition to that a huge amount of turnovers on the Jazz' side, not a good start into the game but it was not over yet.




Halftime report - including NBA daily news






Despite this 17 point margin at the first half the Jazz did not let go. Reducing the amount of turnovers to 5 in the second half and starting to hit three pointers on their own, the Jazz were able to strike back and even tie the game 2 minutes before the end of 4th quarter.

Unfortunately things went wrong for the 20 yo Rookie Alec Burks from Colorado University. Burks commited a needless foul when Kevin Martin was in possession and send him to the line for save two.
Now the Jazz were not able to break and the Rockets used the clock to bring it home.

Close, but no cigar. T-Will was just on fire, and you should try briniging 3PT % down, players hit it too often in 2K12.

Yes, i still need to fine-tune the sliders a bit. This shoot-out was a bit heavy, but fun anyway.

NBA- Fast Forward

"NBA Fast Forward is a quick game review of some games i played. I dont want to recap all 82 Games in detail, i prefer to pick up some of the most interesting games.
Writing down boxscores for every game can get very boring in such a long season, and it should not prevent me from playing the Game.

Game 2



Memphis Grizzlies - 109
@
Utah Jazz - 84

Zach Randolph - MEM - 28pts 15reb 5ast 2stl 1blk
Al Jefferson - UTA - 17pts 13reb 4ast 3blk



Devastating loss to the Memphis Grizzlies in Game two of the regular season. Grizzlies out-rebounded the Jazz by 57 to 47. Maybe also a result of the poor shooting by the Jazz, only 38% from the field.




Game 3



Utah Jazz - 120
@
Houston Rockets - 96

Wilson Chandler - UTA - 27pts 6reb 3ast 1stl 1blk
Luis Scola - HOU - 26pts 8reb 1ast 2stl



The Jazz took revenge in Houston defeating the Rockets by a 24 point margin. This time Utah showed better defense on the outside shooters allowing only 7 threes compared to 15 threes in Game 1. This was the first victory for the Utah Jazz this season and it was very needed.
Utah is heading towards a tough eastern roadtrip including Games against the Miami Heat, Orlando Magic and Atlanta Hawks.

Game 4

Utah @ Miami








Jefferson domination

It was game one of a four game roadtrip against some eastern opponents. The Utah Jazz faced Dwayne Wade and his so far perfect playing Miami Heat. Miami started 3-0 into the season and were the high odds favourites in this game.

However the Jazz just came from a convincing victory against the Houston Rockets in Houston. They started with a lot of confidence into the game and surprisingly led at the half by 6 points. Lebron James and Dwayne Wade had a tough shooting performance especially in the first half. The Utah Jazz showed their talent in the paint, over and over scoring via Jefferson and Millsap.









Halftime report - including NBA around the league








With a good defensive effort and a good transition in the offense the Jazz were able to keep up with the Heat until the end of the game.
Despite LeBron James found his shooting in the second half Utah did not fall away, a reason for that the colorless performances of Wade and Bosh.

Jefferson finally sealed the unexpected win, scoring 30 points with a shooting percentage of almost 67%.

UTA
W. Chandler - 31pts 6reb 3ast 2stl
A. Jefferson - 18pts 11reb 1ast

J. Richardson - 20pts 6reb 1ast 1stl
D. Howard - 19pts 6reb 1ast 1 stl 4blk
J. Nelson - 14pts 4reb 6ast 1stl



A very close game through all four quarters. The Jazz came up with the better end. Orlando had to deal with foul trouble sending the Jazz 27 times to the line.




Game 6



Utah Jazz - 115
@
Atlanta Hawks [1:4] - 81

UTA
W. Chandler - 21pts 1reb 2ast
R. Bell - 12pts 1reb 1ast

ATL
J. Johnson - 20pts 2reb 3ast
J. Smith - 19pts 5reb 2ast 2stl
A. Horford - 14pts 9reb 2ast 2stl



The Atlanta Hawks really have issues this season, winning only 1 out of 5 Games. So it was not the biggest surprise seeing the rising Jazz win against a desolate Hawks team.



Game 7



Utah Jazz - 103
@
Charlotte Bobcats [1:4] - 81

UTA
W. Chandler - 19pts 7reb 3ast 2stl 3blk
A. Burks - 17pts 4reb 1ast
P. Millsap - 13pts 12reb 7ast 1stl 3blk

CHA

C. Maggette - 14pts 4reb 3ast
K. Walker - 12pts 2reb 4ast 3stl
D.J. Augustin - 12pts 4reb 2ast



This Game was not that easy as it may look like. The Bobcats made a big run in the 3rd quarter and reduced the margin to 6 points. A strong decrease by the Bobcats in the last 5 minutes finally sealed the superior 22 point win.
