Ronnie Brewer has really played well this season despite not being a top option on the offense. Brewer has played in 30 games (all starts) for the Jazz this season and he is averaging 34.6 minutes, 10.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game. Brewer will likely get more shots down the road for the Jazz but until then he will keep doing the little things that winning teams like the Jazz need him to do.

The Jazz shot 52.2% from the floor and they held the 76ers to 33.8% which were the big reasons for the win last night. Deron Williams led the way for the Jazz last night with 27 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Carlos Boozer stuffed the stat sheet last night with 19 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots. Mehmet Okur pitched in with 16 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists last night. The Jazz are now 17-13 on the season.

The Jazz were flat tonight as they only hit 37.5% from the floor and it did them in. Deron Williams led the way for the Jazz tonight with 18 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists. Carlos Boozer had a solid game too with 14 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocked shots. Mehmet Okur pitched in with 9 points and 5 rebounds in 29 minutes tonight. The Jazz are now 16-13 on the year.

The Jazz have traded 22-year old point guard Eric Maynor and 33-year old SG/SF Matt Harpring to the Thunder for 2002 2nd round pick Peter Fehse. Maynor played in 26 games (2 starts) for the Jazz this season and he averaged 14.0 minutes, 5.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. Matt Harpring has not played at all this season due to injury. He played in 63 games (2 starts) last season for the Jazz and he averaged 11.0 minutes, 4.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. Fehse has never played in a NBA game and he likely won’t for the Jazz either. This trade saves the Jazz $13 million bucks and that is why they were willing to trade Maynor to the Thunder.

C.J. Miles has been recovering from a injury which kept him out about 1.5 months to start the season. But, he has now bumped rookie Wesley Matthews out of the starting line-up. Miles has played in 10 games (1 start) for the Jazz so far this season and he is averaging 22.3 minutes, 9.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. This is a good sign for the Jazz as Matthews should strengthen the bench while Miles should give the Jazz more firepower in the starting line-up.

Paul Millsap is making the most of his playing time this season. He has played in 28 games (0 starts) in which he is averaging 25.8 minutes, 10.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. The Jazz tried like hell to trade Carlos Boozer last summer but they couldn’t find any takers. Boozer has played really well this season but it is blocking Paul Millsap from getting the playing time he deserves. Millsap has been a good soldier as he is just waiting for his next chance at the starting line-up.

The Utah Jazz (16-12) went back and forth with the Orlando Magic (21-7) last night in a close game.  The Jazz just could not keep up with the Magics’ hot shooting though.  The Jazz only shot 40% from the field and had 15 turnovers, while the Magic hit 49% of their shots.  Derron Williams’ shot was off, but he still played hard and got others involved.  He had 18 points, 12 assists, and 2 steals.  Paul Millsap had a great game off the bench with 20 points on 8-11 shooting.  The Magic got a big game from their bench too though, as J.J. Redick caught fire and dropped 20 points in 24 points.  Dwight Howard was also a force on both ends, blocking the Jazz 5 times and scoring 21 points and grabbing 9 rebounds.  The Jazz needed to shoot better to win this won.

The Jazz shot 53.2% from the floor and that helped them get a nice road win last night. Deron Williams led the way for the Jazz last night with 23 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists. Carlos Boozer also had a solid game with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists. C.J. Miles filled up the stat sheet with 20 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocked shots off the bench. The Jazz are now 16-11 on the year.

The Jazz were down 81-51 after the first three quarters tonight so don’t be fooled by the final score as the Jazz got punished. Andrei Kirilenko led the way for the Jazz tonight with 13 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocked shots. Rookie guard Eric Maynor also had a solid game with 11 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot in 27 minutes off the bench. Wes Matthews pitched in with 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist tonight. The Jazz are now 15-11 on the year.

The Jazz shot 56.3% from the floor last night and they outrebounded the Nets 42-35 which were huge factors in the blow-out win in New Jersey. Carlos Boozer led the way for the Jazz last night with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists. Deron Williams did a good job of running the offense with 20 points, 4 rebounds and 14 assists. Paul Millsap pitched in with 13 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist in 22 minutes off the bench. The Jazz are now 15-10 on the year.
