Altough is very probably that they are going to kill us, I want to see some things.

First of all a rotation on Kobe Bryant in deffense with Brewer, Matthews and Kirilenko (yes, AK too)
And I would like to see Fessenko and Koufos to match up better with Bynum, Gasol and Odom.

Deron must to try to destroy Fisher if we want some options to win.

Fisher is going to shoot 80% from the three. I really want to see how Matthews does on Kobe, hopefully he'll stay out of foul trouble. Historically, Fes has played will against the Lakers but I doubt he gets any PT.

Fes is GTD because of a stomach flu

The Lakers are the measuring stick for every other team in the league, so I guess we'll see how this years team stacks up. Lakers by 10.

Im just going to leave this game up with the notion that you never know what Jazz team will show up. Man i would love it if we won this game

There's three types of Jazz/Lakers games:

1. Lakers take a big lead in the first quarter, Jazz fight back but too little, too late
2. Close for 2-3 quarters, then LA blows it open
3. Games played in Salt Lake City

I'm kind of expecting type two tomorrow, even though type one has been more common there.

Oh, and on Coast to Coast tonight, they have people asking questions via twitter. Someone asked if Steve Nash was the best PG in the NBA (must be stuck in 2006). Legler, to my suprise, said Deron Williams was. Didn't really explain himself on that, but the question was about Steve Nash anyway.

Lakers are healthy and playing at home. Need I say more?

Anyone who thinks Nash is the best point guard in the NBA should eat a dick.

The Jazz better win; I'm carrying out a very special ritual tomorrow that should do the trick. If anyone has in their possession the entrails of a small walrus I can pay you in ivory or minor sexual favors.

Tim Legler can eat a bag of dicks. I don't care who he thinks is the best PG in the NBA.

is ass-to-mouth to serious?

No Fes, no AK, no chance.

edfmx86 · Post #15 » by **edfmx86** » Wed Dec 9, 2009 7:43 am

haha yeah because Fes is the key to beating the Lakers at home. :lol:

the way i see it, Our starting 5 and Millsap have to have GREAT games in order to win this one, although having AK out there would be nice but im really expecting Matthews to fill in nicely in defending Bean Bryant.

Im gonna stay optimistic about this one... Jazz by 7, Deron and Boozer with 20 15 games.

I watch a lot of Lakers games and I can tell you that it'll take 4 quarters just like the 3rd quarter of the Spurs game to pull out a W in L.A.

The Jazz may be able to beat the Lakers once this week, but it's probably not going to be on the road.

Like everybody else, I couldn't say I expect a victory, it's more likely that we'd get blown out than win. I just look forward to a good team effort and atleast be in the game near the end of the game. If we win, it's nothing to get delusional about, but it would be nice in shaping the attitude of our rookies on the road.

carrottop12 · Post #19 » by **carrottop12** » Wed Dec 9, 2009 1:44 pm

Everyone just remember that this is the team that lost to the Wolves game before last.

Now we are going up against the best team in the league and the defending champion.

One thing I'll be looking forward tonight is Wesley guarding Kobe. That is, if the refs allow him to.
