Utah Jazz @ L.A. Lakers - Dec 9 - 7:30 PM MST - Root Sports

[addictionary]

gasol is out.

[PKM]

Good.

[CAKAR]

Is BIG-AL playing ??? Yesssssssssss I expect a big victory carried on the BIG shoulders of BIG-AL.Firstly he will kill the Lakers softly with his Jumper and FOOTWORK and at least he will take the game winner with a posterizing Dunk over Dwight Howard. Quikness, strength, skill and will, thats BIG-AL on his best !!!
BIIIIIIG-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL FOR THEE WINNN;

[Hekate]

Hope both Al and Favors are %100 for game. We have the advantage in depth and I don't want us to lose that. GO JAZZ!!!

[Stoked]

It's on boys! Looking forward to watching the Jazz march right in and take it to the Nash-less, Gasol-less Lakers and show them their days are numbered. Time to beat some purple and gold ass.


Go Jazz!!!!!!!!

Pau Gasol and Steve Nash will not play for the Lakers - Jefferson and Favors are game time decisions - both practiced yesterday #UTAatLAL


Still waiting on Favors and Al.

[Jazz4ever]

You simply hack the living hell out of Howard everytime he gets it down low. 47% from the line this year. Otherwise refs let him knock you over and you will be dunked on.

And here is a photo of reaction outside Staples Center

Hope Kanter enjoyed his one start of the season.

[mellow]

Jazz couldn't do early warm-ups because the staples center had been used for a LA Clippers blow-out win over Toronto earlier today.

Kanter back to the bench, Al will start.

Quotes from Ty:

Tyrone Corbin on if ball movement is possible with Al Jefferson in the post "absolutely".

Bill Oram @tribjazz about 12 minutes ago
LA reporter asks Ty Corbin why Raja Bell isn’t with the team. “He’s not with the team,” he says.


Jody Genessy @DJJazzyJody about 11 minutes ago
Former Jazz center Jarron Collins is visiting his old team tonight at Staples Center.

That scared me for a minute, I thought maybe he came to play on a 10 contract with AL and Favours questionable.

[Catchall]

I guess it bears mentioning, this is a winnable game.

I agree, and I'll be angry if the Jazz don't adopt this strategy (unless he somehow starts hitting them tonight).
