What's new

Game 1: Utah Jazz @ Los Angeles Lakers, 8:30 p.m MT..Game Thread

Al Jefferson goes off for 25/10.

Josh Howard shows he can still play and surprises everyone for double figures.

CK hits a few shots and a couple drives.

No one on the Lakers can (or wants to) deal with Kanter. Jazz staff refrain from telling him that the game is on national television, so he's less nervous, and he gets 11 boards, while shooting 6/6 from the foul line.

Favors makes Troy Murphy wish he stayed home.

Burks has a nice finish.

Hayward gets 15 pts.

Kanter inadvertently clobbers Matt Barnes. America cheers.

Added:
Alec Burks embarrasses Derrick Fisher.
Devin Harris embarrasses Derrick Fisher.
Earl Watson embarrasses Derrick Fisher.
 
OP, have you tried this. Let me know if it works because I really want to know how to put pics up too.

Just tried it. Worked perfectly!

See below (just a pic of my wife while we were in Vegas a couple weeks ago, but now that I know this little pic trick, I'll post some Jazz stuff).

[h=1]NBA reduces suspensions for Andrew Bynum and Charlie Villanueva[/h]Posted by Inside Hoops Dec 23

The NBA announced today that due to the shortened 2011-12 season, the league will reduce the season-opening suspensions for Andrew Bynum of the Los Angeles Lakers and Charlie Villanueva of the Detroit Pistons.
Villanueva’s five-game suspension for initiating an on-court altercation with Ryan Hollins of the Cleveland Cavaliers and attempting to escalate the altercation by entering the Cavaliers’ locker room has been reduced to four games. Since Villanueva already served one game of his suspension last season, he will miss the first three games of the 2011-12 NBA regular season for which he is eligible and physically able to play.
Bynum’s five-game suspension for making unnecessary and excessive contact to J.J. Barea of the Dallas Mavericks in last year’s playoffs has been reduced to four games. He will miss the first four games of the 2011-12 NBA regular season for which he is eligible and physically able to play.

Lakers guard Kobe Bryant said his injured right wrist was less swollen Thursday and he expects to play in the season opener Sunday against Chicago at Staples Center.
“I should be fine,” Bryant said.
Bryant’s definition of “fine” is a little dicey, though. He also said: “It’s not really going to heal. It’s gone. The ligament’s gone. There’s nothing I can do about it.
“But I’ve dealt with so many hand injuries, it should be all right.”
Bryant said he tried to practice Tuesday with unsatisfactory results, which told him there was more significant damage. The MRI on Tuesday revealed the torn lunotriquetral ligament in his right (shooting) wrist.

Looks like Kobe will play against us. Hope his results continue to be unsatisfactory all season.
 
Shut up, you're in timeout.

Besides, we're trying to get chitown's game-thread-posting privileges yanked.

Don't worry. I won't do it again. I didn't know how much it meant to you, and the others who you include in 'we're' of your post. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you and your cyber friends.
 
LOL....

Which makes this game even more dangerous.

I remember a few years back when a completely depleted Lakers team destroyed us.

I also remember the jazz in a dead heat for the playoffs losing b2b games against the tpuppies.

Until this Jazz team proves that they can win on the road against just barely decent teams, I'll be skeptical even (especially) if opponents' players are out.

So far the Jazz over the last few years have proven that they can play with a lot of energy at home... While also laying complete dumpers on the road...

Which Jazz team is going to show up? Who knows?

Dangerous? Please explain how the first game of the season can be dangerous.
