Any news on Baron for this one? Gonna be tough without him seeing as the Jazz are averaging a league high in points per game. Does anyone see how the jazz are playing this well? I mean apart from boozer they dont have a real dominant force right now. AK-47 is playing like a bum, okur is pretty good but hes no force and deron williams is a good pg but hes no superstar. As for their bench the have fish, the rook millsap, and harpring none of whom are really that great. I know what your thinking, we got pounded last time but have you looked at the box score for that game. No one and i mean no one played well at all. (except AB)

Adonal Foyle, C DNP COACH'S DECISION

If we have baron back i think we have a shot at this one. Its a pretty critical game too seeing how tough the next few weeks are going to be.

PLEASE BARON COME BACK WE NEED YOU!!!!!

Utah is playing great because Deron Williams is a damn good pg, and everyone else is playing at their peak. Plus, Sloan is a helluva coach. If we were all healthy and everyone on the team was playing at their peak, we'd be 10-3 or 9-4 probably. But we are not and they are. So, Jazz by 10. God, I hope I am wrong! Anyone know when Ike is back? We could use him against Boozer.

Barnett said Davis is doubtful for the next few games, but I haven't heard anything about his condition either...

I'm gonna be a fan and pick the Ws by five...

The game against Denver was such a let down, that I'm going to pick Utah to win this one. Final score:

W's 130 - Jazz 258 (no overtimes)

The team is beat up and the Jazz are on fire.

Jazz by 15

will Biedrins score 100 tonight??

We're gunna get our ass kicked tonight. Jazz by 20.

I got a pretty good feeling versus the Jazz tonight. Hope we pull this one out, limited as we are.

im a realist. 102-129. fisher scores 25 in his return...

I swear to god someone needs to strap McLeod and Dunleavy to the bench for this second half.....bums I tells ya! BUMS!!!

Looks like Biedrins, Barnes and Murph are having big games though!

You can tell the back to back has J-rich tired out. His knee is not right. Biedrins is really impressing right now hes a beast on the boards and he is really affecting the way other teams attack us. Can you imagine how many points we would be giving up with out him in the middle?

14 point lead going into the 4th but utah has come back to win most of its games... Its gonna be really dissapointing if we cant hold on to a 14 point lead at home in the 4th... PLEASE GOD! (If you like suspense the warriors want YOU!)

Well I'll be damned...did we just play some D??? Great win for the W's!!
AB came up HUGE again and murph had a great all round game. Good signs considering what Denver did to us.

(edited to add)
Oh and congrats to M Barnes for his impressive display as well.
