I'm going to be honest, I think we lose this game. It has that stink to it, you know the Morpheus stink...It disgusts me.
To say that we have problems with the Peskywolves would be an understatement. The Wolves are 5-29 on the road which is just plain crappy. Darko Milici is out that may help.
AK. MEMO, and PRICE are listed as day-to-day. I think Memo should play or will play.
Two Matchups to watch tonight. D-Will/Flynn and Jefferson/?
Al Jefferson is having a ridiculous year this year andis not getting the obvious love he should because his team sucks. Speaking of Love, remeber him, he torched us the last time these two teams met.
Jazz have lost one game in their green Jersey's, which they will be wearing tonight because of
St. Patrick's Day. For drinkers, I can't think of a better holiday in the world. The day has no other purpose than to go out and get hammered. Your welcome World.
Can you imagine where the Utah Jazz would be if they played the first half like the second half, O somewhere around 50-15 looking looking to over take the Lakers for homecourt throughout.
What to look for.
Kyle Korver and the long ball- Over his past ten game KK is shooting 50% from downtown 13-26
Deron Williams- Could have another one of these nights.
I JUST WANNA BE SUCCESSFUL
According to Elias Sports Bureau Deron Williams packed 35 points and 13 assists into 32 minutes, 34 seconds of action to lead the Jazz to a 133-110 win over the Rockets. Get this: there have been more than 200 games in NBA history in which a player had both 35-or-more points and 13-or-more assists; but Williams became the first player in NBA history to reach those totals in a game in which he played less than 33 minutes. The previous record was held by Norm Nixon of the San Diego Clippers, who had 35 points and 17
assists in 36 minutes in a win over the Mavericks in 1983."
Having said all this, the combination of players that the Peskywolves have really worries me.
PeskyWolves 103- Utah Jazz 99.
