I feel a big game from all out bigs. I can't wait to see Bargnani on Jefferson

Two reasons to win this game..... Improve our record, and help GS stay outside the bottom 7.......

I don't like saying it will be an easy win, but this should be a blow out baby :grin:

Should be a good game. Toronto seems to have a team that will surprise teams throughout the year but not consistently. I liked Barbosa when he was in Phoenix... haven't watched him in Toronto, and Bargnani can score if he recovers from injury to play.

I hope to see the Jazz play like they did against LAC.

Jazz should win as Raptors beat Suns tonight but played their main guys alot of minutes. It is a win the Jazz need because cant give away a home game as long road trips are coming.

Bargnani is beasting this year.

We keep Bargs locked down, and we should win this game.

Good luck tonight guys, I am hoping that you guys can pull out the win! I noticed that Kanter and Favors are not playing very many minutes, have they not been playing well or are they simply bringing them along slowly? I love the two of them, and I think that sooner or later one of Jefferson/Millsap will have to be moved, or both. Will be interesting to see Bargnani and Millsap paired up!

Toronto always struggles against Utah and Denver. It might just be a mountain thing.

Toronto on a back-2-back and Utah has had 3 off days.

Well, this could also have us come out somewhat slow and flat, while Toronto will be motivated with winning last night and having Bargs back in the lineup. We need to really jump the gun (I'm looking at you Raja, start the game HITTING OPEN SHOTS) and let our bench build up a lead instead of having to "come back" in the game.

One of the few post Sloan/D-Will highlights last year.

BTW, look how lame Hayward looks at the 35 second mark on the bench. What a geek.

Umm, that's Fesenko

Jefferson out tnight with inflamed ankle. It appears his ankle has become an on and off issue. It will be interesting to see Favors step up.

I am not in favor of Jefferson missing games......

Need to stay focused for this game. These are the easiest to lose. Expecting big games from Favors Millsap and Howard. Hope Hayward and Hariss have surprise games
