'Tinsley's Jazz Renaissance'

Tinsley is averaging 5.9 APG in only 19.5 minutes per game.

With Mo Williams missing games due to minor injuries this season, Utah Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin has gone to Brooklyn-native Jamaal Tinsley as the replacement point guard, and the nine-year veteran has produced quality results.  Tinsley, 34, is coming off a 14-point (4-6 3PT), seven-assist performance in 31 minutes Nov. 24 against the Kings in Sacramento, and has been a solid contributor for the Jazz (7-7) as backup point man early this season.  He's only scoring 2.2 points per game (9.1 PPG career) but he's dishing out 5.9 assist per game while spending about 20 minutes on the floor a night, putting him second in the NBA in assists per 48 minutes with 14.6, trailing only Rajon Rondo (17.1).  Main thing about a guy like Tinsley, you better watch the 5-hole whenever you're defending him.  He's still not too old to go 'Mel-Mel the Abuser' with the ball handling and put you on the YOUTUBE highlight reel.

Biedrins vs. Kirilenko: Epic Bad Hair Matchup



Epic. Gawdawful. Hair.

Utah Jazz, losers of six of their last seven games played the Golden State Warriors tonight, who I think were on a four game losing streak???? I don't know.  Doesn't really matter.  The real story here is an epic matchup between Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko and Warriors center Andris Biedrins and their perfectly awful coiffures.  Forget about Clay Matthews vs. Troy Polamalu for the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl; both of those guys look respectable wearing long hair.  Kirilenko and Biedrins, on the other hand, just look straight up ridiculous.  Andrei can't decide whether he wants to go Tom Brady or Justin Bieber on 'em, so apparently he settled on just combining the two, and ends up having kind of a Katy Perry looking thing goin on.  Andris . . . I guess he's going for a Jimmy Johnson type deal but, I don't know.  I guess he just looks like a potential pedophile that still sleeps in the same pajamas he did when he was a kid and probably gets his haircut by his mom.
