    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">They are not nearly as bad off as Indiana, which already has lost Reggie Miller and Anthony Johnson to broken hands and Jermaine O'Neal to a strained foot ligament and Jeff Foster to hip surgery and, well, you get the picture.
    But with their season-opener coming Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Jazz aren't the NBA's healthiest team, either.
    Utah practiced Sunday without two key cogs, All-Star forward Andrei Kirilekno and big man Mehmet Okur.
    Kirilenko has a strained lower back and is out day-to-day. Okur was poked in the right eye during practice Saturday and still was bothered by blurred vision Sunday; he also is out day-to-day. The availability of both for Wednesday is uncertain.
    The Jazz already were without point guards Carlos Arroyo (sprained ankle) and Raul Lopez (right knee), both of whom are doubtful for Wednesday.</div>

    So I guess it looks like we will have the Harpring-Boozer show on Wednesday night. I hope we can pull out a W with this injuried plagued team, its always good to start off with a win, but it is even better to get a win against the Lakers.
