The Harris, Hayward, Millsap, Favors, and Jefferson lineup is the one we should have gone with from the beginning. It was very successful last year towards the end of the season for a reason. It is a starting five that basically allows the Jazz to compete with and match up against virtually...

Let's not forget that we are still without Josh Howard, who was starting and playing well at SF before he got injured and was declared out for the rest of the season.

I personally just want the Jazz's best five players on the court the majority of the time. Those best five players right now are Harris (PG), Hayward (SG), Millsap (SF), Favors (PF), and Jefferson (C). We are at our best defensively and offensively with that lineup. Having Derrick Favors on the...

Actually, I want Millsap to move to the starting SF spot permanently. Favors is our starting PF. Millsap is very effective against other team's SF's because they cannot handle his strength and scoring ability. Paul is a great defensive player and his size, strength, and overall ability helps us...

I really don't care who we were to theoretically draft @ #8 because this draft is loaded with big man prospects. I was simply going by nbadraft.net and they have us picking Sullinger @ #9 overall. Also of note: if we don't make the playoffs, I would want us to draft Kendall Marshall @ #14...

How about this one? PG: Devin Harris, Jamaal Tinsley, Earl Watson SG: Gordon Hayward, Alec Burks, Raja Bell SF: Paul Millsap, C.J. Miles, Jeremy Evans, Josh Howard (out for season) PF: Derrick Favors, Paul Millsap, Jeremy Evans C: Al Jefferson, Enes Kanter, Derrick Favors Also, if we get...

Though a pain-staking process, I have determined that the Jazz will either been in 6th place or 7th place in the West after tomorrow night. If the Clippers beat Memphis, we will be in 7th place. If the Grizz win in LA, however, we will be in 6th place. Originally, I thought that two games being...

No, we are tied for the 7th spot with Houston and Denver. However, we currently own the tie-breaker over both of them because we won the season series with Denver 2-1 and we have a better conference record than Houston (17-17 vs. 16-17).

The answer is Jamaal Tinsley. He is playing better right now than Watson ever was. I am a believer in the idea that a player should not lose his job to injury... unless the player that replaces him in the lineup is better. I am sorry, but Tinsley is clearly the better player right now of the two...

Me too. Thankfully we will be at home (with the fans behind us) and the game doesn't start until 8:30 Utah time because it is on ESPN. This should help us overcome any fatigue that we could possibly face.

Hey, I don't care if the Jazz win by 1 or by 50, a win is a win. Especially when in comes in Sacramento, where the Jazz have already lost once this year and where Utah historically struggles to get wins. I'll gladly take this win with open arms. What a huge play by Big Al at the end! With a win...

The Bobcats just released Boris Diaw. Maybe we can look at signing him?

Remember, we are also only 1 game back of Denver right now and we play them on Friday (we both have a game before then: us @ Sacramento on Thursday and them vs. Detroit tomorrow). We could pass them in the standings as well. Hell, we are only four games back of the LAKERS (#3 seed) right now...

I would guess that we see a depth chart that looks something like this: PG: Devin Harris, Jamaal Tinsley, Earl Watson SG: C.J. Miles, Alec Burks, Raja Bell SF: Gordon Hayward, Jeremy Evans PF: Paul Millsap, Derrick Favors C: Al Jefferson, Enes Kanter

Of course they do. In the NBA, the teams that win are actually trying to win, while some teams are clearly not interested in winning because they are trying to build their team by acquiring better players through the draft. The lottery is designed to discourage teams from intentionally losing...

We were pretty close to winning the season series with them this year, as our home loss to them came in overtime after we had essentially led the entire game if memory serves me right. Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express

Oh ye of little faith. If the Jazz can beat the freaking Miami Heat at home (after having an 18-point lead before the Heat went on a run to make it a game), we can beat all of those other teams too.

If we had Jefferson tonight against LA we would have beat them by 20 points. The Jazz have the most talented front court in the NBA right now.

I think that the Jazz make the playoffs this year. If we win Tuesday against OKC, we probably move into the #8 spot because the Rockets (who are slumping right now) host the Lakers while the Suns play in Miami (both games on Tuesday). Here is a serious question: will the Jazz lose another game...

That is a good comparison. I wasn't even really thinking about comparing them as overall players. I was simply showing how they are doing similar things for their respective teams. However, I do think that Hayward has the potential to develop into a Manu Ginobili-type player for the Jazz. He...
