I hope he doesnt play. The less Jefferson and Millsap play together the better.

Someone hopefully bruises Jefferson's heel too.

not ok from you to want injury for players

[russnumber3]

I think we will get this one. Last night was obviously a huge let down, and I think we'll bounce back tonight. We owe these guys one!

what a dumb comment, it's like i would wish you to brake your both hands so you would not be able to write such a crap

Peps may liked or not but Al and Sap are best what this team have, it's not their fault( or at least not in majority) that we suck lately. Ok Sap is playing much worst, but hard to expect from him that he will constantly be 22/10 guy, maybe he is just not so good.

[jazzgasm]

But those two aren't a good combination to have on court together. It would be better to have big al and favors and sappy and kanter on court at same times.

Millsap and Jefferson are playing worse bc they are not working as hard as they were at the begginng of the year, and are also playing selfishly thats why I am so down on them. Jefferson started the year playing defense but now just trying to get his stats on offense. He is playing Boozer defense now. They are also setting a bad example for our young guys. The best way to get rid of cancers are to cut them out.

[jazzgasm]

No sap tonight. so I guess we'll see how al does with a different big.

[HolyToledo]

Al Jefferson's Locke Offensive Ranking is 2.8 (average this year is 6) - others near 2.8 - McRoberts, Stiemsma, West, Thomas

Further proof Jefferson is garbage and no one wants him.

[HolyToledo]

ok we are playing terrible. At least we are consistent LOL.

[Ming Kong!]

I see why Evans doesn't play now. Two turnovers in like 2 minutes. Ugh.

[HolyToledo]

I guess we can watch Burks play. He gives us hope.

[Jazzfan Bayamon]

I see why Evans doesn't play now. Two turnovers in like 2 minutes. Ugh.

One of them was Watson's fault, who also has two TOs.

[StocktonShorts]

Loving Burks' play. CJ also playing well.*

* except when he takes threes

[HolyToledo]

I wish some of Burks' aggression would rub off on Hayward.

[HolyToledo]

I thought I would never say this in 2012 "Wheres Devin Harrs at?"

[HolyToledo]

The most talented player on the court for both teams in the first half was Burks. Not even close. Start him, bench Hayward if you need to just let him play.
