GAME THREAD: Utah @ Golden State, 2/2/12, 8:30 Utah time

I wish the schedule makers would have done us a solid and had us play our games against GS towards the end of the season. That way we would know if we should try or not.

Most of what Favors did was against an overmatched Solomn Jones.

Well that works out well because outside of David Lee the Warriors have no big men worth anything.

Did Al Jefferson travel with the team?

The gameplan for tonight simply needs to be this: do not leave Brandon Rush! The guy has been automatic this year, hitting his threes at a higher percentage than most our players hit their free throws.

Damn, 59% on the year? That is crazy.

80% over the last 5 games on 15 attempts.

Going to the game tonight out here in the Bay. Good news, I get to see my Jazz. Bad news, I have to take the BART in to ghetto fabulous East Oakland where Oracle Arena is located, which is a consistently scary experience. I plan on drinking the whole ride there, in turn boosting my confidence, hood IQ and sex appeal simultaneously.

The Jazz should win this game. The Warriors are essentially a D-League version of the RUN-TMC Warriors, except with dramatically less intelligence and the dumbest coach in the league. Their one semi-relevant big man - David Lee - has quickly morphed into Troy Murphy. And Stephen Curry is playing on a bum ankle, and sadly looks more like Delaney Rudd these days. Monta Ellis is the montard.

Keep the perimeter D tight, as they have no threat inside, and the Jazz get the W.

Have Hayward guard Rush

I think Ty wouldn't play Burks unless Bell, Harris, Haywood, CJ, and Tinsley were out.

Wow. Harris out (hamstring) so Tinsley getting the start tonight via Jazz twitter
Hayward and Burks expected to carry some of the PG - Brian T. Smith tweet

Should be interesting to watch.

Yikes...

Hopefully Tinsley can step up.

Go Jazz!

Wow, the drama factor just went up by a 1,000. So bummed I may not be able to watch this game until tomorrow.

Locke says per Corbin Hayward and CJ will be second PG option.
In a seperate tweet says Burks may play some, but Jazz don't feel he is ready for PG yet.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Well it looks like we get to see if Hayward or Burks can be a PG.
