Utah Jazz VS Portland Blazers -- Tue. Oct. 25th @8pm MDT

[Stoked]

Hood will get eaten alive on d....

Perhaps but he has Exum and Hill to help him out this year. He didn't have that last season.

 

[Stoked]

Shoot-around is at 11 AM MT. I bet that will give us more info on Favors status.

 

[tleikheen]

what happened last year in Miami, then?

did you know he played more games in NJ and played a lot worst ,he's slower and older and more likely he's going to play more like the NJ Joe .....

 

[MrMojoRisin]

Holy **** I'm so excited for tonight.

 

[Stifle Tower]

According to Locke, Hayward and Burks will be traveling with the team but are not playing. No word on Favors.

Burks should be looking good; he's had a couple of years to build his "behind the bench" wardrobe.

 

[Stifle Tower]

its so desperate to think JJ is going to be a big factor for the Jazz this year,he's slow as f**k now and younger players are swarming him and 11 guys moving the ball and him holding the ball goes against the Jazz offense

He won't be a big factor; he just needs to be an upgrade over the subs we had last year. I feel a helluva lot better having him take shots than CJ or Burke. Trey was taking, what, about 10/ per before he got perma-benched?
Give those 10 to Joe who can actually hit them.

I think Locke has a Love Locke on George Hill...he said this morning George Hill averaged 14 ppg last year (12ppg)and that he'd have to average 20 ppg the 1st 12 games and dominate the games for the Jazz .
Hill has never showed he's that that kind of player,how's he going to do it now ? I'd rather him be the player he already is and hope that one(or couple) of our young guns steps up ,the opportunity is there.

He said that he'd have to, not that he would. He was setting the mark. Not saying he would reach it.

It's a brand new day!

Favors is out

Favors is out

 

[Ron Mexico]

Favors is out

David Locke @Lockedonsports
Derrick Favors is out for the Utah Jazz season opener v. Portland

This is getting concerning

 

[Stoked]

Favors is out

Was just going to post this. Dang it!

Festus Ezeli is out for Portland.

 

[Stoked]

This is getting concerning

He is starting to practice now so I am not to concerned. Hopefully he is back for the home opener.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

This is getting concerning

He has started practicing again, so its less concerning than it was a few days ago.

 

[Shad]

I don't want to be a Debbie downer but the blazers have won their last 15 home openers. :d per espn

 

[Gameface]

So the Jazz organization tells us Favors is out as a precautionary measure and now he's missing a regular season game?

Pissed.

Tell us the ****ing truth, Jazz. He's being held out because he's injured.

My excitement level for this season has gone down considerably.

 

[Shad]

It's time to face the facts sir. Favors, Burks, and hood are all made out of glass. I'd even go as far as saying we will never have a completely healthy roster

 

[Ellipse]

I'm convinced the Jazz need a new trainer. This **** rarely happened when Gary Briggs was the trainer.

Scratch that, it was the trainer before Briggs.
