Really? Is nobody else excited to see us knock the Trail Blazers from the 6 seed to the 7 seed, assuring them a first round elimination at the hands of the Lakers?!
 
LOL, love the videos. I'm excited to see how the teams comes out and plays coming off the big win in LA. Still hope to see a lot of the rookies and hope they continue to build on what they did last game. Win or lose this game doesn't matter as long as we get to see some development from the young guys. So I well be watching cheering them on.
 
Actually the starting line-up is:

PG Harris
SG Miles
SF Millsap
PF Favors
C Jefferson
 
Now I really don't care if the Jazz slip from #12 to #13. I think a couple good wins to end the season would do wonders for the young 'uns. They would have a little motivation heading into the off-season, seeing that all their efforts were finally starting to pay off. From the snippets I've read, it sounds like the players get along pretty well with each other. Jefferson and Millsap are going to work together some druing the summer; Hayward and Evans lift weights together. Watson was jokign about Favors being 15 yrs. old. Good camaraderie, which sometimes doesn't exist when teams are losing a lot of games. It may not happen next season, but I think this group, given two years and another couple of good players (via picks or trades) has the potential to be VERY good. Denver got an immediate pay-off for Carmelo with Gallinari, Chandler and Felton. Those are three nice additions, but I'll take Favors any day. He's going to be an elite big and those guys are tough to find.

Agreed. Nationally televised game as well, if the rookies can shine it will bring much needed confidence and really could be HUGE in the offseason's morale and motivations for training and getting better.
 
Hayward very active early on, touching the ball almost every possession .. he could have finished off a couple of those drives though..
 
Even with Millsap outplaying AlJeff?

During the game today TNT put up stats showing that if Jazz had more assists than opponent - then we win most of the time. That made me wonder whether Al's post up game where the ball just stops is detrimental to the Jazz offense?

I wouldn't be surprised if Al gets traded before next year for another C (or we pick up one of those European rookie big)
