dont forget
Cousins on Harris:

Yo, honestly I'm tired of the kid. And I mean, like really, I don't know what his issue is. I'm tired of the kid, honestly. I'm tired of him. I don't know what his issue is, but I can definitely solve it. Harris on Cousins: It goes back to the last game. -- He's trying to get in my head and I'm trying to get in his. I can't let anybody push me around.

If you wanna be in the playoffs, games like this are a must. Go Jazz!

We are going torun them off the floor.

[Reckless]

These clowns again? We better win by like 20

I've never seen a team whine so much since Kobrick and the Fakers.

[jazzgasm]

Definitely must win since its the first game of back to backs.

I would play them both together and start Burks and bench Miles who would not need to play whatsoever. You can play Harris at SG and start Tinsley! You can play Tinsely and Watson togther against most teams back up guards. So it doesnt need to be either or but let them both play. Watson is your team leader and Tinsely is one of your best scoring creators on the team. Get innoative Ty Corbin!

As for the game, A MUST WIN but I feel a little uneasy about it. I fear Cousins could injure one of our players as he is a complete nut case or we could sleep walk to a loss.

Nope. I like watson as a person and I was one of those who was pushing for KOC to sign him (it went down to the final days before the preseason) but watching Tinsley play has been fun to watch a guy create things for others and also use part of his game (posting up) from time to time..

also hearing Watson get a little upset and venting about the trade deadline alreay passing/sitting on the bench behind Tinsley (while he was nothing but supportive) has made me a little upset..

My biggest worry is that Corbin is going back to the lineup we had in Feb. when we were losing games left and right with Watson in command and Tinsley who ran the winning streak won't see the floor again.. Why we are rewarding players who complain and hurt the team I don't know...seems like it's CJ's turn next to complain about playing time even though his 3's continue to not fall.

*side note* I hope Jefferson plays a little more "D" than last game..

I really want Watson to play this game just so he can back up what he said to Cousins after the last game.

I doubt there is but I hope to see a lineup change moving Miles our of the starting lineup for Millsap at the SF and Favors in at PF. I would even be ok with Tinsely at PG and Harris to SG or simply Burks in for Miles. You cant have a player play stupid and go 1-10 and win. What needs to happen for MIles to be benched.

[DelaneyRudd]

I want to see either Burks or Kanter get 30 points.

I want to see either Burks or Kanter get 30 points.

Corbin would never give them the minutes to do so. Even if they were on fire. We've seen that happen too many times this year already.

We have to help to continue Kings with a worse record than the warriors

GSW have beaten Kings 3 out 4 so if they finished tied Kings get better pick which is good for Utah to keep the GSW pick. GSW are not even good at tanking their season.

Matt007b, why'd you steal my sig from Jazzfanz? =/

Burks is averaging 24 mpg in the last 10 games...

I dislike it to an extreme degree, but my dream lineups aren't anything close to reality.

Harris/Tinsley
Burks/Watson/Bell
Hayward/Miles/Carroll/Howard
Millsap/Favors/Evans
Jefferson/Kanter

This rotation is actually quite close to reality.

[The59Sound]

Watson over Tinsley is baffling. Have to agree with someone else who remarked that we seem to be rewarding bad attitudes. Was incredibly disappointed with Watson's "too bad the trade deadline's over" melodrama. Tinsley, meanwhile, had an excellent attitude and was flat-out outplaying Earl.
