This is as close to a "guaranteed win" as it gets, considering Deron's history of owning Christina head-to-head. But at the risk of jinxing the team, I will say that we will lose if we fail to rebound the basketball on the defensive end and if we shoot poorly from the free-throw line.

If the Jazz do these two things well, and handle the rest of their business as usual...the win will be there for us at the end of the game if we want it.

We need to get Bell back soon.

Well, I guess Hayward gets more min. I like it, I am really curious to see if this guy can do anything with more min.

Our first 4-day rest of the season.

Hopefully, our wounded players are getting a good rest before this game.

The Jazz need to win this game and I expect them to win this game!

It's crazy how quickly the Hornets became irrelevant this season.

Still a threat, don't get me wrong, but these guys were a horrifying team to play early this season.

Still 8 > 3

I am really happy to see Hayward getting some burn early in the season while we are winning. I think that it is going to prove invaluable as the season wears on. This is a game where I expect him to have a bit of a break-out. He just needs to not be afraid to shoot/control the ball a bit. His defense and movement without the ball still look excellent, and I love the screens he sets. I think once he has his "moment" Gordon will be a big contributor for us.

I worry about sluggish starts after having 4 days off. They won't be tired, but they are not used to having 4 days off and hope they don't take a couple quarters to get into gear. This would make this game tougher then it needs to be.

Yet again proving that the all-star voting process is a major joke, Chris Paul is the 2nd guard so far on the West with Deron nowhere to be seen, and Yao is the top vote getter for centers, of course. Thank you China and the NBA hype machine.

KILL THE HORNETS!

Very happy to hear that Memo is back. I'd like to see what our team is really capable of at 100%

It boggles the mind. I'm trying to figure out who is voting for CP3. ESPN hasn't been on his jock since 2008 and you can hear crickets at Hornets home games.....
