Damn, any update on the Favs?

[GVC]

I don't get this stat.
NBA.com has the Jazz at-
11th in rebounding differential
8th in rebounds/game at home
13th in rebounds/game at road.

Last I heard was that Favors was participating in full practices with the team and was a game time decision.

I have little doubts Favors plays tonight. He's had a full practice or two, and he knows we need him tonight.
Can't wait to see him back on the floor.

If Corbin had any stones, then he'd start Favors against Duncan and bring Jefferson off the bench. I'd rather Jefferson get abused by Manu-Splitter than Parker-Duncan.

It's more brains than stones. Apparently he lacks both.

Big Al and Sap cannot play together big minutes if we want to do anything this year. Sap's game seems to improve when he isn't on the floor with Big Al, and can be #1 option.

i know it sometimes is affective and at other times isnt, but we might be able to do a little bit of paul at the 3 and fav at the 4 and then enes or al at the 5 tonight. spurs are a little slower and they play a solid half court offense almost all game. it might be a good move jsut to mix up the defence and offensive skeems to keep SAS on their toes.
thoughts?

Fixed.

Actually, I've been shocked at how consistent Sap has been next to Al. Nobody else in the league can say the same thing. You go from being set up by one of the league's best PGs, to the status quo. Phew. ****. Sap is a rock.

We need Carroll and Marvin's defense.

Boris freaking Diaw works the Jazz. How does Corbin game plan to work him and Duncan both off the floor? Pound inside with Kanter then Big Al then Kanter then Big Al to get people in foul trouble?

Let's see if Hayward can play like Ginobli tonight!!! COME ON GORDON!

The Spurs are a well-oiled machine, but no team is immune to this. Last year, I made impassioned calls for a game plan specifically designed to draw fouls and break Pop's substituting machine. Make him play combinations of players that aren't optimal. The only way to do this is to pound for the sake of drawing fouls and relentlessly screen their wings.

The Spurs are ****ing amazing.

I'm satisfied if we lose by single digits.

Hell no!

Go Jazz! You can win this!

[Revolution 9]

This is the biggest test we've had this season.

We've played well the past few games, but didn't face a team that was playing well.
We are at home, have Favors back, and should be feeling pretty good about ourselves.

Will we come back down to reality tonight? I sure hope not
