Game 1: Utah Jazz @ Los Angeles Lakers, 8:30 p.m MT..Game Thread

Really though, I am a bit concerned that LA will have played 2 games already.
They could be tired, but if they are in shape they will not be tired as it's their first 3 games of the year.

The other option is that they will be clicking already, while it will be our first real game of the year and we very well could be off.
^^ That's my main worry.

Pretty confident in this game. Stick Derrick on Pau to keep him irrelevant all game. Let elder Hayward work Kobe over just like last year. Bynum is out and Lamar Kardashian plays for another team.
 
Matchups could go a million ways this game. Aside from Harris, the only other certain starter should be Al. Have to force the Lakers to defend him with Gasol. Otherwise, strong cases can be made for either Favors or Sap to start alongside him (though with Metta coming off the bench, you have to wonder if bringing Sap off the bench for at least this game might be the better idea.) Wings are a toss up.
 
Devin Ebanks.. If he goes off.. Then he must have went balls to the wall over this offseason. He was like Darius Miles in high school. No jumper outside 20 feet, and was all athleticism. If he goes off on us in only his second Nba season... Then CJ Miles really needs to be chin checked. CJ came into the league known as a good jump shooter.
 
the bench play will be a question mark for both teams, what will the jazz get out of guys like howard and tinsley.

lakers don't have the scoring punch odom provided off the bench anymore. they do have troy murphy who was a pain in the butt for the jazz in the past.
 
Win or lose, if this Lake squad goes pushing for a win tonight and has to fight... They will go into the game tomorrow trying to push a marginal lead early and be exhausted by the 2nd half. It's like boxing in a way.
