In the NBA these days, it seems like there is a stat for everything. We’ve got PER, offensive efficiency ratings, defensive efficiency rating, and so on and so on.
It seems like every team in the league now employs their own stat guru. And while I’m not one to question the use of all these new statistics to evaluate NBA players (I actually kinda like them), I’m old school.

Happy New Year!
With the new NBA season set to tip off with four games tonight, here are some of the things I’ll be watching for in tonight’s action.
Boston @ Cleveland, 7:30pm
I can’t wait to see LeBron again this season. Last year, coming off the Olympics, you could see that his focus was on improving defensively. Now, without a summer in the spotlight, I’m curious to see if he’s made any improvements to his already unreal game. Is this the year we finally see LeBron use his Karl Malone-like body to beast on people inside?

November 4 = Boston Celtics vs. Houston Rockets <== ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED GAMES OF THE SEASON!

Utah Jazz used a thrid qurter run to easily beat the Rockets in the game six lat night. Deron Williams decided to hit four threes in the third to push the lead to twenty points in the quarter. McGrady tried hard and ended up with 40 points for the night. He even went on a personal 9:0 run vs. the Jazz at one point, but one player is not enough.

So predictible...but yet a good game. The Jazz beat the Rockets 86:82 despite shooting 0% from the three point line (0 for 14). As was the case in the previous three wins, Deron Williams showed Tracy McGrady how to play in the fourth quarter.

Last night Houston Rockets decided they do want to play another game in Houston this season. I am sure the team ownership is very thankful as they will pocket a few more dollars. But that is about it. The Jazz will win the next game at home and if they suffer a loss in Houston (game five) they will beat the Rockets in game six back in Utah.

Utah Jazz won the second game tonight in a first round series against the Houston Rockets. It appears that the young Utah team finally has the necessary attitude to finish a team that is on the ropes.

To anyone who watched these two teams this year it is no surprise that Utah won the first game. The Jazz have been tagged as a terrible road team and a great home team. Although their record indeed supports such claims, Utah seemed to lose away games to teams like Minnesota. Quality road blowouts against the Hornets and minor league champins Boston Celtics show the true potential of the Utah Jazz - away or at home.
