one good thing about this year.... we played minny 3 times already and won. loves coming back and they will only get tougher.
If only we could get Denver & Utah to play Minnesota every night - we might just be able to stay in the race for the division title
Indeed. He's sort of the straw the stirs the drink for that team, especially in the triangle where his really heady passing ability can be exploited to the fullest. (it doesn't hurt that he's turning himself into a helluva three point shooter).
Utah is completely healthy and is losing to bad teams. Perhaps it's just one of those years for everybody outside of the Lakers in the West.
Sometimes records don't matter. It seems as if Minny matches up well with Utah. When we sucked, we still played the L*kers well. Even healthy, we have trouble with the Warriors.
CJ Miles was out today resting that hand he had surgery on. As he's shown in the last few games, he's a crucial part to Utah if they want to do anything come playoff times. Korver and Kirilenko both made comebacks today from injuries, you don't get in sync over night.
Utah has their starters/core intact. No excuse for that team losing to Minnesota. Perhaps Deron Williams should be benched?
SOme teams always match up well with others. Us vs the Lakers when we were a shit team is a great example.
Utah is a team that plays to the level of their competition. While folks are thrashing them over this, they forget they just beat Orlando and ended the Lakers winning streak. How short your memories are. The facts are that every year, teams win games they shouldn't win, and lose games they shouldn't lose. That is why they play the games and don't just assign teams records based upon talent levels.
