we would be stupid to overlook the jazz. even though they are not playing well, they still have a very solid starting 5, and a good coach.
we NEED to keep deron out of the paint, make him shoot 3's, his penetration sets up everything for the utah offense. if we play inside/out and feed bynum, we win easily. they dont have a answer for drew and with kobe on the outside i just dont think they can match up and beat us.
lakers - 107
jazz - 98
GO LAKERS! |

If we do not come ready to play 48 minutes of smart, hard-nosed basketball tonight we will be in for a repeat of the dreadful result from the last time we played the Jazz (a 120-96 loss at Utah on November 30th). We were quite simply out-hustled, out-smarted, and whipped in every category that night. Two of their starters (Okur and Boozer) didn’t play yet we were still out rebounded 48-34, we turned the ball over 20 times for 28 Jazz points, were out-scored 70-40 in the paint, and gave up 70 first half points. Kirilenko and Williams both had monster games. Sometimes when we go back to study the last time we played a team it is interesting to hear the commentator’s take on the game. Hubie Brown from ESPN made a comment in the second half that Utah was able to catch the ball wherever they wanted and do whatever they wanted with it. That kind of summed up that horrible game. Since that game Utah had a tough spell playing 9 of twelve on the road. They were able to get back on track with a home win on 12-26 over the Dallas Mavs.
That win over the Mavs was the first game back for Okur after missing a stretch with an injury. The Jazz are now back to their regular starting lineup of Williams and Brewer in the backcourt, Kirilenko and Boozer at forwards, and Okur at center. Millsap and Harpring will provide toughness and energy off the bench and Collins, Miles and Hart round out the players who will get time (Gordon Giricek has not played since a run in with Coach Sloan however they have supposedly met and so Giricek may get time tonight). This is a deep, talented team and we know they will play smart and hard which creates a challenge every time you play Utah.
Offensively, the Jazz average 104 points a game (5th in the NBA), shooting 48.7% from the field (2nd in the NBA) and are 2nd in the league in assists. The ball will be in Williams’ hands and he will push it and look for early opportunities. The Jazz lane runners will do a good job of running hard and wide and they will cross underneath as they look to get into their early offense, “POWER”. We know that in the half court we will see their 1-4 double high post offensive system. They are an excellent cut and slash team and they beat us on basket cuts frequently in the loss at Utah. Our team/help defense must be better tonight.
Defensively, the Jazz like to pack it in the paint and attack penetration. We must protect the ball because this is a good stripping, steals team (3rd in the league). Kirilenko loves to come from the weakside to block shots or get steals.
As stated earlier, Kirilenko and Williams dominated the game at Utah so we must be ready to contain them. The return of Boozer and Okur makes their entire lineup formidable. Last season the Jazz really rolled when Okur had big nights so we must try to limit his production. A major part of our recipe for success this season has been our bench so we must get that spark from the reserves in order to come out with a victory. |
My goodness,
Reading that is like: Here come the Zombies, The Aliens, Predactors or whatever, but you know the invincible team has 14 loses, 4 more than us. Yes, it's true, we were not there when we lose to them. But I'm really confident the team remember very well... |

he better not start ever, unless bynum is not playing. Otherwise Phil is officially a moron! That would be like starting john sally over shaq, well kind of... my point is why wouldn't you start someone clearly better than the other. |

Who cares who starts? Like Phil said, it's who finishes. If Bynum gets his 30+ minutes a game, I honestly do not care whether he starts or not. Do you think Ginobili, Barbosa, or Terry are complaining about not starting when they still play start minutes?
