Probably another bad loss. They killed mavs in their home. This team is a scoring machine. They lost Anthony and Billups and ... what happened? Nothing. They continued to scoring like mad. They lose Chandler, JR and Wilson and what happen? Nothing.
This is the difference between an above average coach and our coach.

We don't have the offense to keep up with the Nuggets. I do hope to see much better effort and some more playing time for Favors and Hayward though.

Nene, Lawson, & Afflalo are good players and these guys looked good after the Melo trade last year. We'll probably get rolled, I just hope that we see improvement from last night (won't take much lol).

you guys sure, you still don't want to trade millsap for wilson chandler. wilson chandler is a proven scorer who can play great help defense. check out his highlights, he can create his own shot. i think the jazz just need someone who can get there offense jump started because they have a lot of young talent already. i think a wilson and millsap swap would help both of our teams.

I think we'll put up a better fight with those first game jitters out of the way. I'm hopeful. still doubtful we pull out a W though.

I know it cant be worse than last night. Last night might have been the Jazz's most embarrassing loss ever. We did not even look a NBA team. It looked like a Developmental team was playing a pre-season game versus the lakers. I just want the Jazz to look like they are organized and play a decent game losing by less than 10 points. Is that too much to ask?
Top 4 seed in the West!!! Guaranteed!!!

I think people are overreacting. The Lakers front-line is huge and we still don't look good against length; plus, they just collapsed into the paint because we have no outside shooting - Denver doesn't have that kind of length so I expect a close game.

How can Josh McRoberts and Troy Murphy be considered "length"?

Pau Gasol is 7-0 and Josh McRoberts is 6-10. I don't think that point is all that arguable.

Just looked it up on DX. Wingspan is 7-1 and standing reach is 8-10.5. His no-step reach is also 11-2.

Nuggets have Nene at PF (6'10 with 7'5 wingspan) and Mozgov at C (can't find measurements, but a legit 7 footer). The Nuggets have a bigger frontline than the Lakers without Bynum.
