#47 Potland Jailblazers at the Jazz

Sometimes Matthews turns into a major chucker and plays hero ball in Utah, almost like he is trying to really prove that letting him go was a mistake. This could be a rough night for us, Portlands bench is awful, but Hayward is out so our bench definitely takes a hit. Not to mention Lillard could have a career game against our weak PG's. If the Jazz come out with energy and hustle we can win, if we play with no heart like we did against portland we are screwed. I say at best we split the next two games
 
No Hayward, very little Favors and Kanter, possibly no Burks and 40+ mins of Foye, Al and Millsap?

No thanks.
 
I like how we rewrote history and decided that the GS Pick= Lillard.

Rumors were we had a trade in place with Toronto for Millsap for Lilliard and others. If we had gotten the 7th pick, Lilliard was taken 6th, Sac and/or Cleveland could have probably gotten the player they drafted plus Millsap.

I think we would have Lilliard if we would have gotten that pick.

We would probably have Lilliard, not have Millsap. It would have been perfect for this team.

PG - Lilliard,
SG - Hayward
SF - Marvin
PF - Al
C - Favors

That would have been a very, very good team.
 
I think it's funny that Gordie can't play if he misses a practice. Like the Jazz game plan for each opponent:

Corbin: OK, when we're on offense against Portland we're going to throw it into Big Al. Then he makes his move(s), and if the shot isn't there, he throws it back out and we try it a 2nd time.
Team: umm, don't we do that every possession?
Corbin: No, this time I want you guys to really push the ball up the court before throwing it into Jefferson. That way, maybe we can get it to him 3 times instead of 2. Everyone else can just stand around and watch Al. Now let's all practice where you'll be standing and what you'll be looking at.

Don't forget the complex defensive plan: Foye guarding the deadliest opposing guard.

the sad part is there is tuth in this. ^^^
 
Also, this game is super important for Saturday's game too. The Jazz have only beaten 1 team with a winning record on the road. If the Jazz win tonight, Portland will no longer have a winning record and our chances of beating them on the road increase exponentially.


Astute observation
 
I'm afraid these two games will reveal that JJ Hickson, the journeyman FA, is every bit as effective as Paul Millsap. Lets hope I'm wrong.
