I heard Kevin Love sat out practice yesterday...I'm hoping he doesn't get up for tonight, otherwise he might set a new NBA record for offensive boards against us...

GO JAZZ!!!

Kevin Love goes for 15 and 50.

Just like the Kings and Raptors, the Jazz win in the final minute. I dont know if the Jazz have played a complete game all year long where they started the game well and simply dominated a team throughout the game. I guess I will just take a win and put pressure on the teams ahead of us for the playoffs.

Hope to see favors have a bounce back game after his performance in Toronto. Love will be a good test.

Jeremy Evans will have to guard the girth of Kevin Love tonight. Love outweighs him by nearly 70 pounds.


ouch

I'm discouraged that even with rotation shaking injuries, I am still not seeing the young players get minutes.

Hopefully we see Favors, Hayward, and Evans all play 24+. Kirilenko, Elson, and Millsap are all nursing injuries, and Bell is sucking. I have no idea how that isn't equating to serious increases in minutes for all three rookies.

Sounds like he's definitely playing.
As we suspected, Love just sat out practice to rest. And even though the Wolves are still calling him a game-time decision, he isn't in any real danger of missing the game. In fact, Love said his knee actually feels better today than he expected it would. Sounds like all systems go. Mar. 10 - 3:59 pm et

Looking forward to seeing Big Al again.

It'll be great to have AK back.

Evans on Love is terrifying. I hope Favors gets a ton of minutes on him, because he's the only guy we have with the body and "**** you, I'll take that board" mindset to make Love have a "good" night instead of outright obliterating us.

I can't believe we are going to start Evans again. He will get destroyed by Love. I would rather start AK at the PF and keep CJ in the starting lineup.

Ya I don't understand why Evans is starting over Favors....only reason I can think of is that Corbin is rewarding Evans for all his hard work over the course of the year and Favors is still learning the system.

At least I sure hope that's the reasoning behind it because anything else....

IMO starting lineup should be Jefferson, Favors, AK, Hayward or C.J., Harris. I love Evans, but the matchup issue here will be obvious since Evans is about 70 pounds lighter as someone else mentioned.

As for Favors and fouling, I think the ref would swallow their whistle on half of those calls if he wasn't a rookie. He just plays hard and I love it. I guess thats what rookies have to deal with. I do know that some of them are obvious like the one where he threw a guy down in the New York game coming off a screen lol. But others, I a lot of the other ones, I don't see. Just my biased eyes? or is anyone else seeing this.

Anyway, I hope Hayward and Favors each get 25 or more mins. Bell shouldn't be getting 45...

Because Evans knows the system and to help Favors save fouls.

So, who starts C for Minny? Beasley? Why dont we just let Al guard Love and put Evans on Beasley?

Yeah, that would be Darko with Pekovic backing him up.

Completely spaced Darko. Hopefully he doesn't drop 40 on us now....

This may be Cousin's chance to shine tonight, given our size issues.
