Utah Jazz (0-0) @ LA Lakers (0-2) Game Thread 27/12/2011

We need a game thread in addition to these team threads for most of these nationally televised games. Unifies the conversion and gets fans from both sides talking.

For better or worse, the Los Angeles Lakers are quickly getting their lone back-to-back-to-back stretch out of the way.
The Utah Jazz, meanwhile, are finally set to take the court in a game that counts.

Los Angeles looks to avoid its first 0-3 start in 33 years Tuesday night when it hosts Utah, which becomes the final team to open its season.

After blowing an 11-point lead late against Chicago on Christmas, the Lakers (0-2) continued their arduous stretch with a 100-91 loss in Sacramento on Monday, shooting 1 of 16 from 3-point range.

Each NBA team will play on three consecutive days at least once due to the lockout-shortened 66-game season, and Los Angeles was forced to face its test right off the bat.

"Everyone is going to have to play three straight games and we will have to find a way through this," coach Mike Brown said. "We have had a lot of practice, followed by a long day today, but everyone has to go through it as well."

Should be a good game tonight.
