Game #7: Grizzlies at Jazz, Friday 01/06/2012 7:00 MST

Hey, what have I done to you?

Also you highjack every other thread.

 

[Qman]

Sounds like they will have completed a trade for Speights by Friday.

I think we got a shot against the Grizzlies, a darn good one. One day of rest followed by a real practice session (which are going to be few and far between this season). I think AJ will do fine against Gasol. Bigger issue to me is simply defense in general.

The defense is looking much better. My question is was the good defense from last night us or the Bucks bad offense?

 

[colton]

So the same moderator who keeps issuing me unfair warnings for defending myself...

For what it's worth, all warnings/infractions are the result of voting by at least 3 moderators. Then by necessity one of the three actually issues the warning/infraction. But it makes no sense to say Nate was "the same moderator who keeps issuing [you] warnings" because there were at least three moderators involved, and quite likely more.

 

[colton]

But Cmon seriously, we both know nothing will happen.

How do you know that? I voted for an infraction for Nate, and another moderator has voted for a warning (we're the only two who have weighed in so far).

So how about them Jazz!

Out side of the Jazz I like Memphis. I am hoping for a good game with a Jazz win. I want to see Favors and Kanter against Gasol.

Probably to late for him to play though. Bright side we may get to see some Haddadi. The
Iranian superstar.

I here ya! Think we should win with them playing without ZBo and Arthur. Gay will probably go off though against our men.

Afraid it was mostly their play. They looked like they did not want to be out there.

 

[andenjoytheride]

No ZBo? we have hope then.

 

[fishonjazz]

Let's go back in time.

I come on this forum because I want to talk basketball.

Anytime I spell anything wrong or say something that isn't popular. I get attacked with all sorts if insults. And then when I fire back, I get reported. So I decided I would just start dishing out the same crap that everyone else is serving.

That's it. Pretty simple. You wanna fight? Then let's fight. You wanna talk basketball? Then let's talk basketball. Quit crying that you can't take some of your own medicine.

First off bluesrocker you have never done anything to me personally and this is not an attack against you so you dont need to attack me back.
Maybe if people are always attacking you when you post stuff, then maybe you are posting just so people will attack you (kind of like a troll).
Just sayin that if everyone is giving you a hard time, then maybe there is a reason that is happening and i might not be everyone else in the wrong but in fact it could be you pushing peoples buttons.

 

[Nate505]

Is this supposed to be a game thread? Someone may have mentioned it already but ZBo is probably out 8 weeks. We are definitely catching some breaks right now. No Gordon, then no Bogut, Udrih, or Dunleavy and now now ZBo or Arthur.

It is nice to hear. The Grizz should still be a challenge. I hope Burks can keep getting to the line, he's having a good knack of doing that, plus it gives this wretched backcourt something to go on.

 

[Qman]

Who is going to guard Rudy Gay?

 

[Stoked]

Who is going to guard Rudy Gay?

My vote is for Bear. That guy is shifty, you can tell by his eyes.

 

[billyshelby]

Who is going to guard Rudy Gay?

Assuming Ty stays asleep at the wheel and starts Bell, then Hayward. Not a good cover for him. But maybe that will help motivate Ty to yank Bell. One can hope.

 

[NCJazz]

Who is going to guard Rudy Gay?

One can not hope to guard Gay, one can only hope to contain him. These are the kind of challenges that should only make Hayward better.

 

[freakazoid]

No. This is my first.

Lies make baby Jesus cry.

 

[LogGrad98]

Speights has had a drop in performance the past 4 season the likes of which only CJ Miles can match. Interesting to see if he gets on court.

 

[SojoDave]

I don't care if Burks go 0fer from the field, I want to see him get minutes. I also like when Hayward pulls up on his jumper. I think his pull-up jumper could be his "go to move".

 

[Jazz Spazz]

Definitely another winnable game with out Randolph. I keep expecting us to lay another stinker ala the Denver and LA games but the jazz keep proving me wrong! Here's hoping Howard didn't have a setback last night. He's on the verge of taking Bell's starting spot any day now. Along with Burks, he can actually get to the basket and create problems for the defense.



*update: Z-Bo out 8 weeks

Here's the link for anyone who cares.

The Jazz should pound the ball in the middle, and try to get Gasol into foul trouble.
