I'm thinking, left to right, 6/2/4/5/1/3. And that's a flattering picture of Ms. Second-From-the-Left. I will argue, however, that the PCD are a better group than the Spice Girls. Why?
As has been astutely pointed out by Jazz fans and Nigel Tufnel alike, 6 is one better than 5, now, isn't it?-My take on the first half: Capt. Phil had a great segment, opilio season looks like it really sucks, and I hope Capt. Sig can get the Northwestern back into open sea in the near future. And yes, I did see a solid five minutes of Game 2 in the cracks. I saw AK throw a ball from beyond halfcourt to the other end of the court without touching a single player, Fisher being Fisher, and Matt Harpring guarding Derek Fisher. That was enough.
-Congratulations to the Portland Trailblazers. Unfortunately, it now seems that Greg Oden, a generally likable and upstanding young man, has several dozen "marijuana possession" arrests in his near future.
-Sloan says he doesn't think the Jazz were intimidated this game, just lost their composure for a bit. And somehow, the results are almost exactly the same.
-The Jazz playoff slogan should be changed to: "We just cut it to 16."
-Okur gets a wide-open layup, almost manages to throw it over the backboard. I would say he's intimidated, but I guess he just lost his composure.
-JVG mentions that he thinks the court should be widened by a foot. Both of his associates laugh at his witty assertion before realizing he was being serious.
-‹IzeOfLight› "Derek Fisher still trying to find the range." HE ONLY HAD IT FOR A WEEK.
-Quick delay as I change my font back to black. Could Ize be any more of a girl?
-JVG is now taking it as his personal mission to make NBA basketball courts bigger. I'm sure he has a point, and the NBA has always been conducive to large-scale change. I mean, Stern is surely admitting the problems in NBA rules lately, is he not?
-Fisher still trying to find the range.
-Now hiring: liveblog writer. Must be willing to write fourth quarter liveblogs for blowout NBA games. Availability: two more games. Humor optional.
-JVG getting ready to "lose his mind" on the rebounds the Spurs are getting on free throws. Probably wondering why the Jazz are giving up so many against the Spurs and didn't as much against the Rockets. Here's one reason: the Rockets sucked.
-Timeout called as Derek Fisher proves to the Utah trainer that he can, in fact, smell his lip.
-Oberto called for the blocking foul. Little known fact, but Oberto is a member of the powerful Bert family, and is the oldest of three children. His youngest brother achieved some notoriety in the video-game industry.
However, to distance himself from what he considered a trivial pursuit by his sibling, Obert added an additional "O" to the end of his name.-Fisher now 0-6, 1-13 in the series. Surprising, he was shooting 46% thus far, I had no idea he might correct down to his 40% career post-season average. I am, after all, an optimist.
-Jazz two points away from cutting it down to 16.
-Okur with the great pump-fake, jump into defender, and long-distance jumper for the shot and foul. Unfortunately, he just skipped cutting it to 16 and went straight to 14.
-Duncan goes to his most productive move: dribbling the ball, shoving a shoulder into the defender, and bugging his eyes at the referee. Two FTs forthcoming.
-Matt Harpring looks absolutely lost on the basketball court. I haven't seen him make anything resembling a positive contribution thus far. And yet, he's been better than Fisher.
-Jacques Vaughn is still contributing to the Jazz, years after he left the team. Tonight, he's helping by getting playing time for the Spurs.
-With his 1-13 performance in the third round, Fisher is now shooting 41.1% in the playoffs. He's due to miss another pair and then hit one. I'm sure it will be a big one.
-Okur clanks a 3-pointer off the back of the rim at the shot clock buzzer, 24-second violation. Wait...what?
-I like to imagine every time Millsap gets the ball at the top of the key it resets his brain, which then takes six seconds to boot up. At that point, he will then pass the ball laterally, and the gameplay starts again. A similar phenomenon happened with Greg Ostertag.
And Sloan keeps calling that play.
"Hey, guys, let's see how long he'll hold the ball without passing this time!"
-And the Spurs push the deficit back to...wait for it...16.
-For the fourth quarter, we'll be trying something a bit different which might end up in catastrophic failure. The joint live-blog. I'm sure all 6 of you reading are on the edge of your seats.

You made a Q-bert joke. You're fired.
first of all, the main pussycat doll is hotter than any woman kicky will ever date. if you don't believe me, go to youtube and search for the "buttons" video.
second, i think if the name of the blog were changed to fishersucks.com, you'd get a lot more readers.
and finally, you're right about millsap, he should absolutely not be put in a decision wherein he has to make a decision with the basketball.
