Wolves @ Jazz

Would be nice to come back home with a split. Rubio not traveling with the team on the road trip.

Would be nice indeed.

Zgoda notes:

Newly signed Lazar Hayward said his two practices with the team have prepared him to play as much as Rick Adelman needs him tonight, what with Ricky Rubio home in Minnesota because of those back spasms and the Wolves down to just three healthy guards again.

Adelman says he'll play Hayward some at shooting guard out of necessity, and Hayward says he is willing and able.
"I played it a little bit in Oklahoma City when I got in the game, so I'm familiar with it," he said. "It's not anything I can't do. It's just guarding it, that's all, just guarding smaller guys. Defense, rebounding, hitting open shots, whatever the team needs, I'll be that."

But my favorite quotes come from Wolves Radio:

#Jazz Favors on Love "just like any other stretch 4 in the league...probably a better rebounder but pretty much like every other stretch 4."

When asked if Love saw the quote they responded:

He knows.

Hoping Love has a big game tonight after seeing that quote.

I hope when Lazar plays SG, people don't take that for him playing over Williams. Williams cannot play the 2. However, if Lazar is playing SF over Williams, or without Williams playing the 4, then I think that would be reason to be upset.

Regarding Favors comments about Love, I wish Love did not hear them. Just another reason for him to jack up shots now, and be an emotional mess on the court.

and I will be missing this one live because of my bar job, but I have it recording, and will make sure you guys know my opinion on the game around 1AM.

Meh, Love is pretty much unstable right now, they are just taking cheap shots. Thing is, Millsap always destroys Love. So I'm a bit worried. On a positive side, we had plenty of time to rest.

And Pekovic will destroy Al Jefferson.

Love has so many problems with Milisap. Hopefully tonight he reverses fortunes.

[Angry Norwegian]

Love goes off tonight.

Easy win! Pek and JJ have a 20/10 night.

[silverson]

Guys I'll go to sleep. I really can't do it tonight. Hope we have a good game. Goodnight people!

[Angry Norwegian]

Winnable game. That's all I'll say so far.
