LiveBlog de Playoffs: Second Quarter and Halftime

-To be honest, I have no idea why ESPN shoved this game to the end of the day and didn't give it one of the prime time spots. Had to be some kind of timezone problem.

-This game has all the flow of The Real Roxanne.

-Why did Harpring just fall down? Give me your best answer in the comments. There is no good reason he should fall down as often as he does. He's like a fainting goat.

-Harpring touches Millsap as he lays the ball in, Millsap falls down for no reason. The demon has been passed on.

-Deron Williams just hurt one of his shooting hands. *rimshot*

-ESPN showing the Rocket's Kid Dance Team, as large a collection of kids with low self-esteem as you'll find outside the Baldwin household.

-Harpring Football Reference from Bill Walton. "He's a football player, he's exactly the kind of guy you want on your team." Yes, Bill. If you have a football team.

-Can an interesting live-blog be written from a completely uninteresting game?

Answer: no.

-Announcer: "Boozer to Harpring, he [Boozer] was wide open!" *clank* Welcome to the Utah Jazz, Mr. Announcer.

-Yao Ming has this pseudo-friendly gritted-teeth facial expression going on right now. I think he's trying to be intimidating but doesn't know how. He should learn how to do The Scowl.

-Holy crap, that whole last post was in rhyme. I should try some more if I have the time. Harpring sucks.

-Walton: "Deron Williams continues to shine as the brightest comet in this game." He's due for a unicorn reference.

-AK tries to catch an easy Deron pass with his genitals. I know his hands have been bad, but...

-I appreciate LHM giving the media a chance to use the word "sucks" when describing the Jazz. They're throwing it around like Jarron Collins with a loose ball. It's like the kid that learns that "damn" doesn't get him in as much trouble as he thought it would, so he damned well starts describing every damned thing with the damned word.

-Sloan didn't like the genital-catch, replaces AK with a man with no genitals. Well...person.

-"Derek Fisher playing inspired basketball." "Leadership...it's what it's all about."

Derek Fisher has 6 points.

-Derek Fisher just turned it ON for the playoffs. What a rush. Hit that iso play after waving off the teammates with 8 seconds to go. We should just keep going back to that.

Regardless, Jazz up 42-33. This game should be in the books with the Jazz's ability to close games. And Jim Gray seizes another opportunity to say "suck" on national television.

-There are two ways to look at a game where your team is up 9 and the other team is shooting 29.4%. One is to say, "hey, nice going, guys!" The other is to say, "Oh crap, this isn't going to hold up." I won't tell you how to think. But I'm going to finish this half-empty bottle of IBC while I'm waiting for the third quarter.

one of his shooting hands? how many hands does he shoot with?

on harpring falling down:

The way i figure it, he sucks right...so he's use to being "down", if you will. so, up is just no good for him.

And now a word from our sponsor: Dolly Parton- "I go out stalkin, after midnight"

We need more AK.

He actually fell down inexplicably twice. The second time he managed foul Yao Ming at the same time and then gave Yao the stink-eye like it was his fault.

"coach" tom nissalke offered some great Fisher insight:

"He's not a great shooter, if you looked, I'm sure you would find he shoots about 40% or more, but he's a great player. He brings a lot to the floor in the way of toughness"

Matty falls down because he plays so hard. Isn't that obvious?

I am not fond of Yao.
