Game #6: Bucks at Jazz, Tuesday 01/03/2012 7:00 MST

On the post-game show, Jefferson said it was a cramp. From where I sat, it looked like the training staff was looking at his knee. Looked like a strange reaction from training staff for a cramp.

Dang. Cocaine/Meth/X is a hell of a drug.
 
Considering the match up against Bogut, would it be better if Jefferson sat this one to recover from whatever injury he got last night and have Favors start?

In 11 games they have against each other, Al has 12.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 43.9% shooting. Bogut has 13.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 60.7% shooting.

I feel like Al is most valuable when we play a good big man defender like a Dwight or Bogut because he can score on anybody and it kind of takes them out of the game in a way.

It looked like they were working on his calf. In any case, Tribjazz is saying same starters for tonight, so he must be ok.
 
Al was stretching during every timeout last game because he seemed to be cramping throughout the game, not just at the end. FYI
 
With this team at this moment you just don't know what to expect.. It's like a battle between youth and talent.. between CJ and the end of an experiment.. between Al on offense and Al on defense.. between Raja and nobody..

Go Jazz!

The Analysis

Both the Jazz and the Bucks are strong at their bigs. Which teams bigs outplays the other will give their team a huge advantage. Both teams are poor at PG. The Bucks have a sizable advantage at the wings, if the Jazz can stop Delfino and Dunleavy, and force Jackson to continue taking poor shots, the game might be in the bag. Both teams are coming off a back to back so do not expect amazing offense from either team. This is going to be a grind-it-out game.

Who to watch on the Bucks:
Delfino: Carlos Delfino is a 3 point specialist. He takes over half of his shots from deep, and, this season, is making over 50%. Shutting him down is essential to a Jazz win tonight.

Jackson: Stephen Jackson has been a great Fantasy player over the years, as he can contribute in nearly every category. However, he has a really inefficient shot. This year he is only shooting 33%, and he is down in nearly every category except blocks.

Who to watch on the Jazz:
Kanter: Kanter is a rebounding machine. Early in the season, he struggled with his offense seeming to lack strength and confidence. Against the small front line of the Hornets, he was able to get some good shots off. The Bucks are taller than the Hornets. Can Kanter get his offense going?

Miles: Miles was seemingly benched in favor of Alec Burks in the first half of last nights game. When he finally got into the game, he charged inside getting a few layups and a dunk. Towards the end of the game, however, he started shooting from outside. How will Miles respond? Will Coach go with Burks again?

Forecast

The numbers project a L

I (my heart and mind) project a W



Go Jazz!
 
According to utahjazz twitter account No Andrew Bogut tonight for Bucks (personal matters). Also no Dunleavy (groin pain) or Udrih (shoulder)
