I'd say 50/50 on Steph playing Friday.

Love the GS unis..

Nway, I expect a great game from AK. AK plays well against running teams. Hope to see him a get bunch of blocks and steals.

ah. My two favorite teams playing each other. Rooting for the warriors, but hoping its a good game.

Boozer was relly great against them. The key to win is rebounding. We need to get every rebound we can get. Hopefully Millsap and Al can provide that.

Steph Curry is a great young player but Deron has his number.

A little surprised to see Jeremy Lin leading their steals per game category. Didn't even realized they're giving him minutes.

He's gotten some minutes in garbage time, but that's been about it thus far.

The Warriors should have a hard time with Jefferson and Millsap. Put Raja and Price on Ellis to slow him down. I'm interested to see how Dorrel Wright does. He's been scoring really well.

In the early going, the Jazz have been fantastically average:

woohoo

Should be a good game. Golden State seems to get Utah once a year over there, and they're starting off pretty good this year. If the Jazz go and wipe the floor with then I'll be pleased with how well they're gelling as a team, especially after the first two debacles.

Kinda surprised to see the Warriors off to such a good start but they do seem to have a better team this year. Should be an interesting game for the Jazz...

I think the biggest problem will be getting sucked into the play style of GS, Deron is going to have to keep everyone under control and calm especially when GS goes on a run.

The keys to the game:
-Play at Jazz basketball pace/control tempo
-Pound the ball inside
-AK
-Don't let anyone on GS explode for 30+
-Stay calm during big runs

And then the typical ones like rebound, draw fouls, defense, bench play, etc.

The experts have this game as a pickem which surprised me as I thought the Jazz would be favored. I expect a Jazz victory. It will not be easy and may come down to the final couple of minutes.

The key in this game will be Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap. We need them both to score over 20 pts and get 5+ offensive boards each. Watch out for Reggie Williams off the bench bc if he scores 15 pts+ we will likley lose. They guy can score at will and will soon be their starting SF once Dorrel good start to the season goes by the way side.

This game can put the Jazz on the right track when it comes to winning games on the road.

man i love those new GS uni's

Matt007b · Post #18 » by **Matt007b** » Fri Nov 5, 2010 5:40 pm

Mmm interesting game this one (yoda voice)

Warriors like to run all day. Hopefully we do not get suckered in a running up and down the court match. Slow the game down, run the offense/out rebound them and we should be ok.

*I like the GS jerseys as well..nice change.

seejaydeja · Post #19 » by **seejaydeja** » Fri Nov 5, 2010 5:41 pm

Evans is out, Curry and Millsap are gametime decisions.

Hopefully Sap can play. Anyone know what the status is on Fes?
