Utah is on a 2nd of a B2B right? Bloody tough B2b; GSW today and us tomorrow

Sucks we're not at full health

Lets hope Booker's shooting is back, and that Elf and Smith can step up and step in. Hopefully Monty can use Elf as a pg, and not a sg, waiting by the 3pt line to be zero threat.

bogdanovic hurt his knee towards the end of the game tonight and Gobert also sat out of the final 2 mins.

That will be interesting. Clarkson fell on his arse also, he might be a bit butt hurt tomorrow night.

Elf in the center pic with Book/CP3 flanking him? Nice touch

No Donovan Mitchell! And Gobert questionable with ankle soreness.

It's gonna be an interesting matchup.

With so many players out we will see some bench guys with bigger roles, hopefully they step up and we keep winning.

I expect this rotation:

CP3/Elfrid
Book/Shamet
Bridges/Shamet
Cam J/Jalen
McGee/Biyombo

That is a nice 9 man rotation. Good opportunity for Shamet to shine as a 6th man and for Cam J as a starter.

I know we can win this one but I just sense a blowout the other way. Our biggest talkers on D are out. If we have any chance, it'll be thanks to the starters. But our bench is insanely thin now.
Cam starts.
Payton likely gets heavy minutes. Smith too.
This may be our most impressive win of the season if we find a way.

Looks like they're saying Gobert will play.
Probably for the better as I might worry more if they play small ball against us when we have McGee and Bizmack playing. They could get exploited more.

Good points!
As long as we rebound well and guard the perimeter ( 3 point shot effectively) we should win. I'm looking for Shamet to break out finally and have a big game just at the right time. I also expect Smith to have a big rebounding game and play solid defense. Payton will be serviceable defensively and in his play making as long as he doesn't feel pressured to do too much! But keys to winning are:
1- Strong rebounding as a team.
2- Good perimeter defense and rotational defense resulting from great communication on closeouts.
3- Good shooting on our parts (play making) Paul will provide that. But Payton will need to be focused too.

Apparently I stand corrected.
looks like Biyombo will be our perimeter big man scoring threat??

Well, now I wish I could change my vote
It still won't be easy, but this is a more winnable game now. I sense a high scoring game. Like 126-120

In the less severe cases it usually takes up to three days for a pulled calf muscle to start feeling better. In the most severe cases that don't require surgery a full recovery may take up to six weeks. In the case that the injury requires surgery the recovery period may extend up to six months to a full year.

Now Conley is out too. O'Neal, Ingles, and Bogdanovic questionable.

Jazz players are dropping like flies. It wouldn't surprise me if they only had 8 players active in this game. Now I gotta change their lineup for third straight time within a few hours.

Suns are also missing two two starters + Payne who is in our top 8 rotational players off the bench. This game will be interesting to say the least, both teams missing 5-6 important players and none of it due to covid.

If Utah is gonna have so many guys out, we need to blow them out early and then avoid any freak injuries.
