I guess Shard hasn't had a chance to make up a proper profile, so just post anything related in the game in this thread. Sorry for the lack of organisation. Huzzah!
Sorry guys and gals, was feeling under the weather and pretty much blanked out for most of the day...but here are the lineups and injuries. Sorry for the shoddy preview but i'll make up for it.

The Sonics should win this one like they did the last. The Jazz just haven't shown they have to defense beat the Sonics, and they aren't known for their offense. Andrei Kirilenko will be playing no more than 10 minutes per half either. Raul Lopez has been put into the starting lineup, and will be determined to keep it, so he will be trying to impress Jerry Sloan which is never easy.
Daniels the chief destroyer once more, this time with 15 points in the first half. I know there's a long way to go in this one and Utah are having a horror season, but winning both games in Salt Lake City this season would really illustrate just how far this team has come this season. It would also mark 30 wins in the first half of the season. Adam, Utah don't wear purple anymore, silly boy.

Ah yes, the hardwood classic profile. Twice in a row. Anyway, as Brian Griffin would say, if we're going to pull a win out of our arses here, we might need to stand up. Still, 3-1 on the season series, and an excellent game from Nick today.
Isn't it concerning to anyone that we have giving up an average of 101 points a game over our past 16 games? In those 16 games we've gone 9-7 and have dropped 10 percentage points from where we were in the standings. We've reach the midway point in the season and it seems as if we are really reverting back to some of the poor habits that we had last year. If things don't change there is a very good chance that we will lose out on home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Rally the troops Nate. Getting them to defend or get ready to become a free agent coach.
I thought that the refs in this game were not calling any fouls agains the Jazz. I mean when u blow the whistle before a foul even happens and when that foul doesn't happen is total crap this game was a fluke. People coming from out of bounds and then going and making a shot....come on!!!
