Game Thread - Jazz @ Kings - 8:00 PM MST

[kabenac]

I expect to see Ed Davis play well tonight.

 

[SCS]

He basically just thinks the Kings are going to show some pride tonight after starting out 0-5 and thinks they're going to have a ton of energy. He also mentioned how this is our 6th game in 10 days and we haven't played consecutive games in the same city yet so there has been a lot of traveling and we haven't really had time to practice or work on much since the season started.

Somebody tell him it doesn't matter if they have all the energy in the world if Luke Walton doesn't know how to run any semblance of an offense... especially against our top ranked defense.

No Harrison Barnes tonight.

I am still nervous as the Kings absolutely bitch slapped us in the preseason game. We could not stop them.

I was feeling really good about this game until I listened to the first two or three minutes of Locke today. He all but come out and said he thinks we're going to lose.

What was his reasoning?

 

[framer]

I don't think the Kings are going to come out and play for Walton's job. If he is the problem, losing is the only way to cure it.

In the past, this might be the type of game the Jazz lose. I'd hope they have grown beyond that.

 

[framer]

What was his reasoning?

The travel intensive schedule. The Jazz have either played or traveled every day this season so far. You could see some of that weariness in the Sun's game.

Time to start some game threads. No need to hide that under a bushel.

When can we expect your game threads? I'm tired of half-assed game threads like this OP.

No Harrison Barnes tonight.

Really? Where did you hear that?

That doesn't really mean much. Preseason is a time for experimentation. Coaches try different lineups and schemes and the results you get aren't a great representation of the results you would get in a regular season setting.

Why?

That said, it’s hard for a team to go 0-6.

If the Jazz play fundamentally sound basketball and there usual defense, they would have a hard time losing this game.

No Harrison Barnes tonight.

Walton handing PGAB an asterisk if the Kings lose tonight.

Sometime. Don’t know when. But I’ll do one.

Also, while I had a good run with game threads, those bitches became time consuming. Fell way behind at work. Was only working one job at the time. Now I’m doing 3.

 

[carolinajazz]

Jazz are a 6 point favorite, by the way. Take the Jazz....give the points.

This.
