No Deron, Millsap and Bell gametime decisions

Smacks of 40 and 15 from Jefferson tonight.

We don't fare so well when the team we're playing is missing their stars.

Yea, I hate that star missing crap too. For some reason, that's when teams crush us. We fare a lot better against teams that have all their pieces. Jazz are in a slump but that just makes them more dangerous. Our revitalization tendencies are going to try and kick in and lend these guys a hand. We need to fight that urge and actually try to beat them instead of helping them by letting then get new career highs and giving their players confidence.

We just need to attain focus and not expect an easy win here. In the Denver and Bobcats games, we were too overconfident, so guess what... we lost (Both of them were even at home I think). Since we are terrible on the road, getting a road win here will be tough, and you know some random scrub will put up 30 tonight.

I predict a win here, but no one can be sure. It'll be another game that will probably go down to the wire.

Love's double double streak will break tonight but we get the W.

Feeling pretty good that Deron is out, because pgs usually do well against us. Jonny played well against the Jazz last year so lets hope he can keep playing solid. Hopefully Darko comes out to put one on Al's chin.

Im expecting the Wolves to come out fired up after the dramatic game vs the Thunder. Without Deron, the Jazz wont have a go to scorer. Al Jefferson will crumble and the Jazz fans will boo them loudly.

Wolves by 12. Beasley with 25+, Love with 20 & 20, Wes with 16+.

I feel like we will struggle. Usually after almost beating a good team we play down the next game. I'd be ecstatic with a win though.

Well, looks like all of those non-televised games are paying off. The wolves have been in televised city for a while now. I think it's like 5 games in a row or something.

I think we'll come out with good energy. If we can sustain it for 48 minutes, I like our chances. They don't really have anyone with Darko's size, I'd like to see an aggressive, productive effort from him.

Optimistic yet very pessimistic is how I feel, my typical mindset before a Wolves game. :lol:

AK or Okur will go off.
