Game 20: Orlando Magic (7-10) @ Utah Jazz (9-10)

Al played pretty damn good tonight. Hope he is ok

Me too. On one hand, I hate to lose Al, he's been great, but on the other hand I'm excited to see Kanter start.

Hope its nothing more than a handful of games.

Big Al injured. I hope he comes back to play in 3 weeks. Favors and Kanter prove they are better withiot him and Big Al gets traded and makes his money somewhere else bc he is a terrible basketball player.

Well they just reported back spasms, thank god. Would of been disasterous for trade value if he was indeed injured. Still wouldn't mind seeing Kanter start 2-3 games without Al, he needs the opportunity, Al could use the rest for his back.

dude, he just won you the game almost by himself and carried the team on his back the entire game. terrible players don't do that.

For a long time my biggest gripe with Big Al has been that I felt his defense cost us more than his offense brought, however the last few games and especially tonight have been bringing me around.

I'm still not entirely convinced, but I'm getting there.

Jazz are 8 point favorites and Vegas never lies

All that means is the half the money bet has fewer than 8 points and half the money is on more. The opening point spread is an educated guess but the line moves so risk to the house is spread to both sides of the bet.


Oh I know it was just a joke though.

Lol it was a joke but i didn't really know what it meant, just that the team that is favored to win has the negative sign by em. Thx for clearing that up for me and good win tonight big al u gotta love him at times.

Even our wins this year are depressing...

I only tune in to watch Burks, Favors and Kanter, all our other players are known quantities. With Burks not playing, and Favors hurt (and only getting 20 min a night), I can't even watch the Jazz anymore. I just cannot fathom what management's goal with this team is right now. We traded Deron, but didn't rebuild. Do we have any strategy besides "win now"? The moves we make are always solid, but always focused on the short-term and minimizing risk. We choose the least risky option by going with Corbin, and now we have a Sloan wannabe without any of his credibility or strengths, but all of his weaknesses.
