Is this your preferred lineup? Bell not in there. Evans might be in a suit.
 
It might be a good night to get Favors' feet wet.

One concern I have with Favors is his fouls per minute are almost Fes-like (over 8 per 48). McRoberts (um, he's still on The Pacers - right?) is not high volume shooter.

I like the bench a lot better than before the trade line. I am excited about the game tonight but would be surprised if the Jazz won.
 
I might have to watch the game tonight.
While I wish Deron well, I hope the Nets tank so we get a better pick.
He will play tonight against San Antonio, so I might have to try to find that game.
Last year was the New York watch, this year is now the New Jersey watch.
 
Too bad Ty won't give a start to Hayward. I bet Hayward will be accountable for a few thousand people tonite........
 
Update:

Jazz's Watson will start vs. Pacers; Harris off bench

Indianapolis — Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said that veteran point guard Earl Watson will start tonight against the Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse.
Newly acquired point guard Devin Harris will come off the bench, as Utah attempts to slowly work him into the rotation.
Harris said that he is comfortable with the decision and is at Corbin's "disposal."
Raja Bell, Andrei Kirilenko, Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson are expected to round out Utah's starting five.

It seems Harris will get the starting job eventually. I really don't care as long as the better player that night gets the most minutes.
 
Good info, Viny thanks for that update. I will like to see Harris and Hayward coming off the bench together. Also hope Ty continues the early substitution of AL so he can play with Harris and Hayward.

Corbin said Jazz might pick up the pace a little bit.

It will some because the personnel's changed some. We don't want to be an up tempo, wild, just coming down looking for shots team. We want to execute in the half-court set, but we want to take advantage of early opportunities. We want to push the ball up the floor, we want to see what we can have early. But if that's not there, we want to be able to execute the half-court set.

I've talked myself all the way into Harris. He's going to lead us into the playoffs by setting a tone defensively while using his quickness to get our offense unstuck. The one thing I really like about the whole situation is the Kid is in his prime and this is his ONLY opportunity to change everything everyone thinks about him. Deep down I believe he knows this.

I'm ready to party with the New Jazz. Lets rock and roll.
 
Bold stuff right there Billy.

I dont have too much hope, because we still dont have any shooters on the team...
 
Harris is going to go off for about 40 points and 20 assists.

No pressure on the guy though...

Hope no one hangs themselves tomorrow when Harris has 5 pts 2 ast in this game. I hope he pans out, but he's no Deron Williams.
 
So, I see us losing most of the remaining games, unfortunately. I'd be totally surprised if we made the playoffs, although I think the players we have will be busting their butts to get in.

I think the players are going to push hard for the playoffs, because it will make a statement about keeping them on the team over the following years as we rebuild. I'd imagine some of them will be scared for their jobs if the jazz lose most of the remaining games.

Also, not unfortunately because... this team needs to lose and get more talent. Just let the losses pile up like wonka bar wrappers... one of those mother f'ers is going to be a golden ticket I promise.
