I don't even know what to think. Without Okur, the paint defense with Brand and Dalembert is gonna make hell for us.

I guess the Jazz shall feel what is life w/out Okur.

Time for our Fesenko and koufos to show what they got...or we play small all night..

Very interesting game.

*edit* woops didn't know fesenko put off visa issues until now...yikes!

Brewer and CJ should see the most increase in minutes.

Im guessing our new 4th QT lineup will be:

Boozer/Millsap(depends on who is playing better)
AK
Brewer
Korver
Knight

It seems like Jerry is committed to the AK spark off the bench so it will be either Millsap or Koufos. My one worry about Koufos starting is that he has looked a little soft on the boards. Thats where I would rather have Fess starting. Otherwise I think he should leave Millsap on the bench so he doesnt get in foul trouble early and Booz might also.

Honestly, as much as we all hate Collins, this is one moment where it would be nice to have him.

It's going to be Koufos I'm almost sure of it.

And for some reason I have a good feeling about this game.

Jazz by 8 on the road.

I had to miss the game yesterday and now I have class during the game tomorrow. Best of all league pass broadband has that game blacked out..ghey.

I don't have a good feeling about this one
76ers have struggled but talent wise this is a really strong team
Thaddeus Young & Iguodala two athletic players jazz can struggle with

Interior D with Brand & Dalembert

I'd mark this one as a definite loss

Our offense struggled against the Knicks defense so we will struggle even more vs. 76ers

This game could very well be over after the first quarter

The Jazz struggle against teams like the Knicks who play one on one basketball and chuck 3's like there is no tomorrow.

I expect the Jazz to play much better against the Sixers and expect a win. The Jazz always seem to step it up when either Boozer or Okur are missing, I expect the same tomorrow.

I expect a jazz win.

Sloanfeld · Post #12 » by **Sloanfeld** » Tue Nov 11, 2008 2:59 am

I'm going and I totally expect to lose this game. Jazz are 1-5 when I go, and now Okur is out, dammit. I hope everything goes well with him and his family and his whatever it is gets better quickly.

Sixers are not a great jump shooting team and as I remember Sammy D didn't do much against us last time we played in Philly. Boozer and Millsap have got to dominate inside, and hopefully Korver lights his old team up. Winnable game, but for the first time I expect to lose a game I attend.

^^^

you just made me realize its the first time back to phila for Korver. Hopefully he shoots well.

The Sheik · Post #14 » by **The Sheik** » Tue Nov 11, 2008 4:11 am

Sounds like Fess will be in uniform and starting. Jazz are trying to reschedule his meeting and his agent thinks this opportunity to play in Memos absence is to big to pass on.

I'm with ya buddy!They are 0-3 when I go to see them. That includes Mr. R.I. flying out to see them in in Utah in 2006.

I hope the Jazz take the Sixers Coast to Kosta and win by six.

Took me five games to get my cherry popped:

3/00 @ Philly lost by 2
11/02 @ Washington lost by 3
12/06 @ NY lost by 1
3/07 @ Philly lost by 1
11/07 @ Philly Won by 11 FELT GOOD TOO
11/08 @ New York lost by 8

And the worst part, we've had a better record than all of those teams. I'm totally flying to Utah this season or next. Would be nice to catch a four game homestand.

Whatever, I'm going to New Jersey on 12-17 and ya figure Williams will be back by then. I'm still not excited about this game.

I am surprised that Sloan is favoring starting Fess over Kosta. I thought everything so far had pointed to Kosta being ahead in the depth chart.

The Sheik · Post #18 » by **The Sheik** » Tue Nov 11, 2008 7:09 am

I think I had some legitimacy to the Kosta being a soft rebound/defender. I think Kosta is better then Fes in ever regard of the game, but boards.

Cool, an early game. The Jazz are lucky to catch the Sixers when they're off to a slow start, hopefully they don't start to play well against us. Lucky for us Dalembert isn't much of threat on offense. I think the key is to contain Igoudala with AK, and let Brand have his.

carrottop12 · Post #20 » by **carrottop12** » Tue Nov 11, 2008 7:46 am

I think Sloan wants to start Fes because he knows that he will be quick to get fouls and it's better to start a player who you know might not last very long then to bring him off the bench, have him get into foul trouble and have to stick a player in who just played the entire first quarter back into the game.

Fes will start, get a couple of quick fouls. Then the Sloan will bring in Millsap or AK, move Booze to the C spot. And Koufos will get a few minutes in both halves while Boozer, Millsap or AK are resting.

Fes FTW!!!
