Game thread: Game #24 : Utah Jazz at Indiana, Tuesday 02/07/2012 5:00 PM MST

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Goerge will just simply shot over Bell. 6'11 vs 6'5? You can be as close as refs let you - you are not challenging his shot enough being 6 inches shorter. I think Hayward will guard George and Bell will try to defend Granger for 5-6 minutes and it will be quick sub for Howard.

Wrong. George is a good shooter because he gets open looks. Having a guy, no matter how short he is, right up on you makes it difficult to shoot.

Jazz are 8pt dogs.

Looking for Kanter, and Watson to have better games tonight. We need someone to spark us.
Who will it be?

Whenever Watson can't bring the energy and passion to this team. It seems like no one else does. We need some one else to become a leader on the court.

Actually whenever Watson 'doesn't have energy' its because he is playing bad.... really really bad.

When Watson occassionally does well he has that energy.

Watson has gotten a bunch of pub here and at times I support that, but he has been bad more so than good this year overall. Not saying Harris is much better but because you show grit ala bulldog status, doesn't mean you are doing well on the court.

Jefferson owned Hibbert last year.

Fast PG, scoring/shooting swing men, and good low post presences? Yeah we're screwed.

Pacers by 48. Luckily the wife is going to be gone tonight and I get to bed time and homework for all the kids--so there is NO chance I get to actually tune in.

Pssshhh priorities man. Lock'em all in the same room with a box of Pizza and "The Ring" or "Exorcist" (the original) and tell them if they open the door she'll be out there waiting to get them.

Enjoy the game. (Jazz game might be more scarey then either of those movies)

I am going to hope for the best but expect the worst tonight. This team still doesn't exhibit the ability to even be a .500 team on the road going forward.
