This has a feeling for a loss. We haven't been playing very well. And porty is long and athletic. They're going to park themselves in a zone, smother Millsap, and watch us brick away from deep.
Cant find anything saying Camby is out. That would put Millsap on Aldridge. Dont like that matchup.

Sounds about right.
Beating the Jazz usually comes down to outside shooting and having a guard that blows by everyone. Portland doesn't really fit that description unless Wallace and Batum get hot from 3.

Jamal Crawford...
Jamal Crawford doesn't blow by everyone at age 31 anymore. He could get hot and kill us though.
His shooting %'s are 36 and 31 from the field and 3-land respectively.

Oh, right. If Kurt Thomas kills us with his "jump" shot, that'll be lame too.
No, it's usually some completely unexpected player who comes out of nowhere to light us up. Keep an eye on Luke Babbit and Elliot Williams tonight.

I'm putting you on notice! Hayward breakout game!

Hopefully Kanter comes ready to play extended minutes. I fear Kurt Thomas taking him to town with crafty "vet" moves that Kanter will be dumbfounded by.
As long as he doesn't have to guard Wallace I think he will be fine. I think Wallace would destroy him though.
Matthews is essentially a 3 point shooter mostly, nearly half of his attempts per game are from deep. Just make him shooter over Hayward, or make him put it on the floor and try to force him to take his less than spectacular midrange jumper.
