I think we're going to see a spirited Jazz effort with a win of 8 points.

Or the Lakers will kick our asses as we lie over (and Deron complains at the refs).
 
from today's update:
Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said this morning prior to practice that he is unsure whether rookie Gordon Hayward will remain in the starting lineup.

Hayward replaced veteran Andrei Kirilenko on Saturday during Utah's road loss to Philadelphia. Sloan plans to think about the issue today, then make a decision before the Jazz face the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday in L.A.

Sloan has also considered starting C.J. Miles. But while the small forward has made progress and is enjoying a career year, Sloan said that Miles' defense is still a concern.

I really hope Hayward gets some serious burn tonight. He's had two good games @ Staples Center. I think he likes playing there.

Not expecting a win. Just hoping we don't look like idiots out there.
 
The Sltrib's Brian Smith posted some comments from Deron: https://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsjazznotes/51111142-62/everybody-guys-jazz-lot.html.csp

Deron sounded like his spirit was broken. He seemed to throw a little blame at Coach Sloan for the players the team has, for not changing the line-up, for not allowing a trade, for keeping the old offense.

He mentioned missing Wes and Kyle and I think he was also talking about Brewer but didn't say his name.

Not good.
 
Lakers by 30+ at SOME point in the game. As per their history against the Lakers @ Staples and this season thus far, Utah'll come back and make a game of it in the final quarter, only to ultimately lose the game. Final margin of victory will be around 10 points. Losing streak hits five and six will be staring us straight in the face when Sand & Tone comes to town. Indeed, this is a terrible time to be a Jazz supporter. The only thing I'm looking forward to tonight is my main man Elder Gordan Heyword getting some serious burn and some serious preaching accomplished against the defending champs. See y'all in chat, for what will doubtless be 2+ hours of incessant Baja Rell bitchings and moanings. Though I think the dude will be awesome tonight, as it's the first game in L.A. since spurning the Lakers and Kobe.
 
Yikes...
"Jazz will likely not make a major move before trade deadline, so team has to find its own way out: Of course not. … That would be what [Jerry Sloan] wants. I've heard him say that on numerous occasions. So I guess that's what we're going to have to do.

Should team tweak offense, or will that open up a Pandora's Box: That would be them [nodding at coaches]. We've been running the same plays for 23 years. Why change now?

Talking to Sloan about ideas, issues: I'm just going to play basketball, man. That's all I can do."
