Game thread: Game #24 : Utah Jazz at Indiana, Tuesday 02/07/2012 5:00 PM MST

Goerge will just simply shot over Bell. 6'11 vs 6'5? You can be as close as refs let you - you are not challenging his shot enough being 6 inches shorter. I think Hayward will guard George and Bell will try to defend Granger for 5-6 minutes and it will be quick sub for Howard.
 
I think bell gets it done this game. I dont think he is an elite defender but he stays in front of his man, especially guys who are not great slashers. George is not good enough to hit shot after shot with a hand in his face. Even if he is taller bell gets his hand in there and will get some steals and frustrate him. Bell usually blocks out on rebounds so I dont know if that will be an issue. I am more concerned screens and our switches on defense.
 
First quarter will tell me everything I need. Indiana is a team that likes to start fast at home than cool off later. I sure hope we bring more energy in the first q.

otherwise we'll end up spending the game playing from behind = another L.

I'm actually hoping 1st quarter helps us win.

Pacers have 2 nites rest , with a SuperBowl in Indy, here's to hoping they are hungover/rusty.

We can go all out because even though this is the 2nd night of a back to back, we do not play again until Friday at home.

No excuses.

Jazz will steal this one. (Vegas has us a 9 pt. underdog)
 
Can Paul George drive? He gets to the FT line less than Hayward with more minutes per game. I see him as more of a spot-up, transition, and defender.

I hear his lack of aggression is the only knock on him from Pacer fans. Must be a soph thing.
 
Paul George has been awesome for my fantasy team. He gets about a steal and a block a game with a bunch of rebounds. Of course he gets hot from the 3 point line sometimes too.

Wrong. George is a good shooter because he gets open looks. Having a guy, no matter how short he is, right up on you makes it difficult to shoot.
 
Looking for Kanter, and Watson to have better games tonight. We need someone to spark us.
Who will it be?

Whenever Watson can't bring the energy and passion to this team. It seems like no one else does. We need some one else to become a leader on the court.
