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

Maybe the jazz will actually get a few calls at home and win.

if gordon plays we will lose, if not we will win

Anything that results in less Bell is good.

Unless it's cowBell. In which case I gotta have more.

 

[MVP]

Everything points to a win tonight. Hornets played last night and looked bad, no E.Gordon, Jazz play at home... I would be very surprised if this is a close game.

I wonder which offense will be worse.

 

[mtnbayou]

The Hornets have actual position players. A real PG, A real shooting guard (Gordon, if he plays), a real SF (Ariza), and some pretty decent centers (Okafor, Kamen).

The Jazz don`t seem to have a real PG, SG, or SF (i guess Howard is maybe a real SF). And Favors is certainly our best center, but PF Jefferson will play most of that.

This Jazz team is screwy.

The Hornets are playing the Utah Jazz. You've seen the Jazz this year, right? Why would anything surprise you, even a blowout loss?

If your idea of a real SF is a guy who shoots 35% from the field and doesn't do anything else, then yeah, I guess you could give Howard the benefit of the doubt.

 

[just because]

NO shot 0-15 from 3 last night. With the way the Jazz defend the long ball, my guess is that number will be 11-15 tonight. I still think we pull out a W.

 

[Zulu]

Made it to SLC and will be attending my first Jazz game of the season, I'll be the one with the Thor hair cut and the Deron Williams jersey with Howard duct taped on the back!! GO JAZZ!!

Have you watched a single game this season? Howard has brought energy and aggressiveness on both ends, chucking notwithstanding. He's easily been the Jazz's best wing wing defender.

You must be referring to outstanding defensive plays like the one where he nearly took a guy's head off and gave the team two shots and the ball out of bounds. Or the time when he fouled the three point shooter. Or the several times he's been burned playing ole defense. Perhaps if "energy" and agressiveness = jacking shots every time he touches it and making very few of them, yes he brings energy.
