Game 2: The Redemption: Utah Jazz @ Denver Nuggets (12/28/11, 7pm MST)

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Who was the better pick?

Why would the jazz draft Millsap lite.

I'm not confident of a win, but I'd at least like to see us bounce back like we did against Portland a week ago. Just shake off LA and get back to business.

KMart apparently ticked his Chinese team off and they already released him, but probably will not get clearance for the NBA until March. Dont we all miss KMart?

That's why he's on the other side of the wall.

Pretty funny they won't let the other two out while he's being asked to leave.

Who was the better pick?

Based on the suits, Burks by a landslide, a nautical mile, a parsec. That's one damn fine suit.

The Jazz`s starting lineup point averages are 4,5,6,7, and 8!

  The Analysis
  
  The Jazz are outmanned in every category tonight. They will need to play a completely different game than they did against the Lakers. The chances that they shoot as poor as they did yesterday are very slim, so their game will likely improve. However, most teams have lost by 7+ on their back to back games this season. Don't expect a W.
  
  Who to watch on the Nuggets:
  Lawson: Had a fantastic first game against the Mavs scoring 27 points on 66% shooting.
  
  NeNe: The best player on the Nuggets roster last season, but had a disappointing first game of the season.
  
  Who to watch on the Jazz:
  Millsap: Next to Evans who didn't play as much, Millsap was the most productive player on the floor against the Lakers.
  
  Watson: Could he have been any worse? He needs to improve or Tinsley is going to take his minutes.
  
  Forecast
  
  The numbers project a L
  
  I (my heart and mind) project a L
  
  Go Jazz!

Who is starting for Jazz tonite ?

 

[fallenchicken]

We got this ****!!
(He said before he turned the game off at halftime.)

 

[Fishsticks]

Random, but I think augustine or collison would be great for our young team if we wnt to run. I think al Jefferson would net us either.

 

[pkmag2]

AS long as i see heart and determination then i'll be happy.

 

[Ellipse]

Back-to-backs are tough! I'm having trouble working up ANY enthusiasm for this game after last night's fiasco.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Jefferson has to finish that.
