    INJURY UPDATE: Jazz center Enes Kanter has missed the past two games with a sprained right ankle, but the 6-11 big man is optimistic about his chances of playing Monday against the Mavericks.

    "I hope so," he said. "I'm going to try to practice (Sunday)."
    Kanter remained in the training room for treatment throughout the Jazz's blowout loss. He might have been the only one on the team who saw positive results.

    "After the game, I just looked at it (the ankle) and it's so much better," said Kanter, who's been sporting a walking boot since injuring himself at the end of Wednesday's win over Minnesota. "The swelling is going away. It's so much better."

    COMPLIMENT FROM KARL:
    Denver coach George Karl has long been an admirer of Jerry
    Sloan and his system, and before Saturday's game
    he said the Hall of Famer's touch is still visible in this up-and-down Jazz
    squad.

    "I think there's still a lot of [COLOR=#0066cc]Jerry Sloan[/COLOR] in what they do.
    They still run a lot of the same plays," Karl said. "I think they've become more
    of a low-post offensive team. They were more of a cutting and executing team in
    the past."

    Though Utah is on the outside looking in on the
    playoff picture right now, Karl wouldn't be surprised if that turned around.

    "I thought they had a great year last year," he said,
    "and I think they're on the cusp of having a really good year this year."
    Trade Al and Marvin! Bench Foye!

    Mo Williams' surgery Friday was to repair a "complete tear" in his right thumb that was nearly identical to the injury he suffered in 2008 while with the Milwaukee Bucks

    The specifics of the injury Williams suffered on Dec. 22 in Miami were previously unknown, with the Jazz first listing the thumb as "severely sprained" and later amending the point guard's status to "right thumb surgery." He has missed eight games since injuring his thumb while defending a drive by Mario Chalmers. While Williams has commonly been said to be out a minimum of six weeks, the reality could be much harsher. He will have a pin removed from his thumb after six weeks, which is when "the rehab really starts," he said.

    "I'm going to fight to get back," Williams said. "I'm going to go by the proper protocol, try to do it the right way and make sure I'm 100 percent when I get back."

    The Jazz's starting point guard and captain averages 12.9 points and 6.7 assists in 24 games. However, now in his 10th season, Williams has missed 10-plus games due to injuries six times.

    Williams is more than familiar with what the rehab this time around entails. He suffered a similar injury at the end of the 2008 season before undergoing surgery in the summer. That surgery, like Friday's, was performed by hand specialist Dr. Michelle Carlson in New York.

    The lone difference between this injury and the one he suffered in 2008, Williams said, was that this time he suffered a small bone chip in the thumb. The primary date to watch, though, is that six week mark, around the All-Star break, when Williams will be reevaluated.

    "We'll see where it goes from there," he said. "That timelne can be long, can be short. We're going to fight to get back and we're going to listen to [head trainer Gary Briggs] and the guys and we're going to make the right decision."

    Starting small forward Marvin Williams will miss at least three games due to inflammation in his right knee, the team announced Tuesday.

    The first-year Jazz forward left Monday’s 100-94 win over the Dallas Mavericks in the third quarter and, though the team said he was available, did not return. Acquired in an offseason trade for Devin Harris, Williams was expected to play for the first time against his former team on Friday, when the Jazz play in Atlanta in their second game of a three-game road trip.

    After saying late Monday that he expected to play Wednesday at Charlotte, Williams missed an early practice to receive treatment on his knee from team orthopedist Dr. Lyle Mason. He will travel with the Jazz on the upcoming trip, but will not be available to play as team personnel evaluates how his knee responds to treatment.

    The 26-year-old has struggled since joining the Jazz, his career averages dipping to 8.9 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. However, he has been a key defender and timely shooter.

    The Jazz are 0-4 in games without Williams, who was sidelined in late November and early December by concussion-like symptoms.

    Williams did not dress for the Jazz’s Dec. 30 loss against the Clippers in Los Angeles. Team doctors hoped to reduce inflammation in his knee with that break, and Williams said swelling did go down. Approached at his locker Monday night, Williams said he would be fine and that his knee had just begun to swell.

    He finished the game with 3 points in 16 minutes.

    I liked what I saw with Burks pushing the ball into the frontcourt and getting them into their offense where he, Hayward and Foye can all feed the post or make plays for themselves or others. Leave Watson on the bench. Maybe try starting Demarre at the 2 once Marvin is back.

    They need a smaller combo guard( or two) that could play off of Burks and Hayward and match up defensively with the opposing small guard. Foye's not the guy. Mo would be better. They definitely look better with Tinsley starting than they did with Mo.

    Earl Watson had the worst stretch of any point guard I've ever seen during that third quarter

    He has no confidence in his shot and they aren't guarding him. Makes it tough for the team.

    It's not only that, he waste so much time on the shot clock before starting anything on offense, and then he double on the most retarded possesions.

    Here's a video from the North Melbourne Football Club about visiting the Utah Jazz.

    Big thing in the Australian Football League now in the off-season is to do "high altitude" training, so there have been a few teams that spend time in places like Arizona and Utah doing their training
