If Memo's iffy, I hope he doesn't try to play tonight. There's nothing worse than an iffy Memo.

If he's in the game you gotta be able to count on him. If he's not ready, we have other players that can step up and take care of business (I hope).

I hope Mehmo can play tonight but if not the Jazz should bring up Fessenko just like they did last game against the Lakers. Andrei needs to get off to a good start ,it would be nice if he scored another triple-double against LA. Boozer needs to dominate early and take advantage of Bynum snf Gasol not being in the lineup. Ronnie B needs to lock down on Kobe tonight if the Jazz have any chance of winning, and maybe put Matt or AK on him to just to make things hard for him during long stretches of the game. I know for a fact Kyle cannot guard Kobe because he is bryant is so versatile and quick, even with a torn tendon in his finger. But I expect Kobe to score at least 35 points. I think it is wrong for Jazz fans to boo Derek Fisher , he did so much for our team last year especially in the playoffs against Houston , and Golden State. But I won't be suprised if that happens because of how hard he worked on and off the court for this organization by mentoring Deron , and showing leadership throughout the playoffs.

Big game for the Jazz role players we need more than one of them to step up and step up big. They are at home and no excuses. If the starters are not able to play then the others need to be ready, that is what any coach in the NBA would tell ya.Go Jazz Defense and more defense...

There's no way Matt is guarding Kobe either... The only legit shot of guarding Kobe comes from Brewer and AK, but I would rather see Price or CJ ttrying to guard Kobe before Matt. Remember when Josh Howard exploded for 40 when Matt was guarding him? Matt couldn't do anything to keep up with him. Kobe's got a much quicker first step and moves better without the ball, there's no way Matt guards Kobe.

That's a bad idea. He may have had seventeen good minutes that night, but he has been a disappoint with the Flash. He is not ready for the NBA.

GO JAZZ!!
fans let's show some class tonight
since none of us really know fishers real intent and NO jazz fan can argue that fisher did us a favour by taking his huge salary to la --lets BOO koby instead--a person who has hurt the jazz much more than fisher did (no matter what uniform fisher wore!!!)AND fisher did help us a bit last year so let's show him some people in UTAH can have a forgiving heart even if he did go over to the dark side.
does ANY jazz fan really think we would have gotten Korver if Fisher hadn't left? DO any of you think fisher would have contributed as much to the jazz as Korver has?
nah!

Figures that they would let the Lakers beat them and take the streak away. Did they think that the Lakers wouldn't show up to play tonight? This up and down team has stressed me out for the last time. I'm out till next year.
