Interesting lineup/inactive list for Jazz

Now that we know Deron Williams is out of action for tonight, I’ll be curious to see how the Jazz react against a Charlotte team that’s already beaten them once this season.

Have to also admit, coming into this season I’d never have guessed that I’d see a starting lineup including Ronnie Price, Ronnie Brewer, C.J. Miles, Paul Millsap and Mehmet Okur.

I will go on the record and say that Utah has THE BEST Inactive List in the NBA right now. Utah’s three guys sitting out tonight: Carlos Boozer (left knee surgery), Andrei Kirilenko (right ankle surgery) and Deron Williams (moderate right quadriceps contusion).

No offense intended, of course, to D.J. Augustin, Sean May and Gerald Wallace, who’ll be inactive for the Bobcats tonight.
