Game #5: Hornets at Jazz, January 2nd 2012, 7:00 PM MST

[Cocaine]

6 of the next 7 at home. Looking forward to it. Expectations for this season obviously aren't high, I have the Packers for that. Jazz just need to take it slow and progress. W.

Gordon Hayward, on dealing with losing as a professional: I hate losing more than anything. More than anything. I've kind of been lucky enough to not have ever lost. So, it's definitely frustrating to me. Very, very frustrating. But it is what it is. You've just got to work to improve on it each day and just try to learn from your situations, so that way you can hopefully not lose as much. Like you said, there's no way around it. Sometimes you have to go through that: take a couple steps back, take a couple steps forward. It sucks. Losing is no fun. Definitely tomorrow on the day off, I'll get some more shots up. You've got to control what you can control. I was 1 for 9, so that's got to be better. I'll get some shots up and go out the next game.

What a champ. Expecting 16 points form Hayward, at least. Jazz with the W

Jazz and Hornets my picks for worst record in the west, and possibly overall.

Jazz sitting home today fixing the hangover, meanwhile New Orleans plays a late game in Sacramento tonight. Jazz shooting % is .400 (26th) New Orleans is worse at .391 (27th). But watch out New Orleans is a rebounding machine and the Jazz rank near the bottom in all rebounding categories.

Lets hope for overtime in Sacramento and a Jazz Victory.

Home game so we actually show up. 5 point win. 98-93

This.

Plus, the Hornets probably suck about as much as we do.... Soooo we might be able to squeeze a W out of this one.

Eric Gordon will not be playing so we should be able to win at home.

Im bringing a bag of ice and a ton of antihistamine to the game just to be prepared if we get stung bad by the Hornets.

Wishful thinking. The Hornets are a much better team than us.

Home game will equal a win. I would be worried if we were playing in NO.

Sacramento lights up NO without Cousins. Evans has his best game of the year with 27. They do have Okafor and Kaman that both had double digit REbounds which is mainly due to the poor shooting. If our guard play cannot look decent against this backcourt, I don't know which backcourt we will.
