I sure hope to god Kobe doesn't go off on us and have a season high. Seems like we can never stop him but we can win some way some how.
Hopefully AK can play and atleast slow Kobe down. Unless he gets like over 40 pts, I think Jazz will get the W by 7. Oh and let's hope Lamar has a mediocre game as well.
Is there any reason why CJ Miles starts? I havn't seen much of him but most of his stats are not impressive. Is he like a Trenton Hassell/Quentin Ross type player who starts purely because of very good defence?

Sloan puts more emphasis on finishing a game rather than starting, and he often turns to Harpring and Fisher in the fourth. It's working well so far. Although, in saying that Kirilenko will be starting at small forward vs. the Lakers and Ronnie Brewer at shooting guard. Link
These refs completely suck, some BS calls right now. Matt Harpring made a perfect screen and Smush ran right into it and got knocked on his ass. Then they call a foul on Harpring for illegal screen when he didn't do nothing. These refs are trying to make the Lakers win. 78-72 Lakers 3 minutes left in 3rd
God I MISSED the ENTIRE GAME. WORK. OMG. Looks like it was an amazing game. I hate lakers. God bless Utah. 12-1. GS next.
Impressive that Kobe didn't score in the 4th, by whoever was guarding him. I got to admit, I didn't think the Jazz would have this good a record at this point in the season. I like the Jazz, but I'm just not used to seeing them play this well, because of how the last few seasons have gone.
This is why I was really looking forward to this season. I knew we had a great team, and a great coach, and if we stayed relatively healthy, we would cause some damage. When I told people this, they laughed at me. Well.... look at the Jazz now.
<div class="quote_poster">J_Ray Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I bet you guys like this stat.....Kobe had 0 4th qtr points.....You now know AK is back.....</div> Kobe only took 3 shots in the 4th... he knew that the Odom and Kwame were on fire so he opted to pass... if kobe took at least 6 shots in the 4th and scored 0 pts then i would be impressed with AK.

I didn't watch the game, so I can't really say.... but just commenting. I wish I could have watched it.... I said if we kept Kobe under 30 we would win. But it's good to see Kobe passing more this season.
