Ok this should be interesting. Watch the way the ball moves and everyone is involved.

Don't @ me...I like Kyrie...just saying.😏

Hopefully we will see "vintage" Rozier tonight.

A huge night for Rozier would be good for everyone tonight.

I have seen plenty of ball movement only for players not-named-Kyrie/Morris to miss a wide open shot.
He took over when it was needed.

If Rozier puts on a show tonight and solidifies the "He's great when he's a starter" narrative his trade value might shoot up.

From just the headline my first thought was that his back was tired from carrying the team.

There was plenty of ball movement in the first half last night, especially in the first quarter. But Kyrie is not only supposed to pass the ball, he has to make his teammates' shots for them too.

On paper this is a loss tonight:

No Kyrie
Hayward will be booed in his first return to Utah
Back to Back on the road
A lot of energy spent on last night's comeback
Utah is in need of a win
Many players like Gobert want to crush us (because of Hayward)
Only shooter we have for tonight is Morris

That being said, we should win by 6. Always expect the unexpected from this team.

Trap game for Utah, Hodgy. Take them down.

Now's your chance, Rozier. Silence those critics and media about you feeling unhappy with lack of PT.

[Birdman]

Without Kyrie, this will be ugly

SILENCE THE CRITICS ROZIER!!!!!!!!!
