Why so disinterested? No game thread?

I'm undefeated with mine.

We'll need a bounce back performance from Paul and I think we get one because he is the Pony.

Jazz 99, GS 84
 
Honestly, I wish the Jazz would just make up some reason for Paul to sit out tonight. He looks a little beaten up. And Hollinger had an interesting column today on how both the Mavs and Spurs are restricting minutes for their top players. In just the last 5 games, he's averaged 37 minutes a night. The extra rest seemed to help Al last night, and Sap is too important to ride like a mule.

You bring up an interesting point. But the reason that I grew to love Millsap (pause) was because of his work ethic and willingness to play through pain, along with producing big time! Last night was as bad as I've seen him in his CAREER. I can probably count those types of games on two hands, but he's really consistent.

Hollinger is a twit, and I haven't read that article. Everything I've heard/read is that Dirk came in out of shape and that's why he's been limited. No idea about the Spurs, but Millsap is a young dude still.

The bright side of all this is that I'd love the chance to see Favors/Kanter get extended minutes if they did decide to limit Paul or sit him completely for a game or two.

Winning usually heals all the little bumps and bruises, so hopefully we get back on track tonight - with or without a full lineup.

Well hopefully Kanter and Favors can build off th eshowing they had last night and can continue to step up so that they can spell Millsap and Big Al more each game. Reduce minutes enough to keep them from getting burned out.

David Locke says Mavs and Spurs players are grandpas and Millsap is young.
 
I guess we get to see what Tinsley can do tonight. Hopefully Favors can have another game where he does stuff offensively.
 
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.
 
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.

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

Should be interesting to watch.
