Why would the jazz draft Millsap lite.
 
I'm not confident of a win, but I'd at least like to see us bounce back like we did against Portland a week ago. Just shake off LA and get back to business.
 
KMart apparently ticked his Chinese team off and they already released him, but probably will not get clearance for the NBA until March. Dont we all miss KMart?

That's why he's on the other side of the wall. ;)

Pretty funny they won't let the other two out while he's being asked to leave.

    The Analysis

    The Jazz are outmanned in every category tonight. They will need to play a completely different game than they did against the Lakers. The chances that they shoot as poor as they did yesterday are very slim, so their game will likely improve. However, most teams have lost by 7+ on their back to back games this season. Don't expect a W.

    Who to watch on the Nuggets:
    Lawson: Had a fantastic first game against the Mavs scoring 27 points on 66% shooting.

    NeNe: The best player on the Nuggets roster last season, but had a disappointing first game of the season.

    Who to watch on the Jazz:
    Millsap: Next to Evans who didn't play as much, Millsap was the most productive player on the floor against the Lakers.

    Watson: Could he have been any worse? He needs to improve or Tinsley is going to take his minutes.

    Forecast

    The numbers project a L

    I (my heart and mind) project a L

    Go Jazz!
 
Random, but I think augustine or collison would be great for our young team if we wnt to run. I think al Jefferson would net us either.
 
Back-to-backs are tough! I'm having trouble working up ANY enthusiasm for this game after last night's fiasco.
 
Ugh. Come on Jefferson. When the wing comes off the baseline screen and your man hedges so far out like Mosgov did, YOU HAVE TO SHOW YOURSELF. He had an easy dunk yet his back was still facing the ball.
