I didn't see a game thread so here we go.

I'm so happy to have a game to talk about :)

Trey Burke vs. Jennings -- FIGHT!

Yeah. Seems like forever.

Am I naïve in hoping that a few new wrinkles to offense or defense were added in the 5 day layoff?

I'm also kind of excited to watch Burke play as I haven't seen much of him yet. I'm on the west coast so I'm going to have to try and sneak home early from work in a few hours :)

I hope KCP has a big game just to shut some people up.

Utah are 11-12 since starting 1-12 (or somewhere close to that). This team will be better than people think tonight.

I predict a Utah win, as it's smart money to always bet against Detroit these days. Burke and Favors create an intimidating pick and roll combo, especially if Gordon Hayward is spacing the floor.

Is Hayward playing tonight, he's been struggling with his shot anyway? I hope to see KCP on Burke because Jennings will be a joke trying to even slow him down.

In January, throughout 5 games, KCP is at 10/3/2 on 54% overall and 43% from deep. I hope he keeps it going, he's starting to really get a rhythm.

I think we're 5-4 when he takes at least 10 shots :thumbsup:

I'm a Jazz fan tonight. Good luck Trey!
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I hope KCP lights up the Jazz tonight just so his haters can shush down.

Surely we'll win this.

Hopefully KCP and Jennings have big games to shut all the Burke fanboys up!

Dre plays this hard when we ignore him, just imagine what he would do if we involved him..

Moose can hit that jumper consistently if he sets his feet.
