Scrooge McDuck. I was playing to his money hungry side when he screwed over Cleveland and took Utah's $$$$.

What a spare arena name for the Jazz. I looked them up and they clean up nuclear waste. May even be more spare than the University of Phoenix Stadium in Phoenix.

At least the University of Phoenix gives you back a piece of paper when your done

the other company just has you glowing like Homer Simpson on a bad day!!

Yeah. It's stupid. Pissed a lot of us Jazz fans off. We'll always refer it to the Delta Center though. Sucks Delta had to file for bankrupcy.
As for the game, should be a good one. Kidd and Deron are a lot alike, Deron's idol growing up was Kidd, Deron's a Dallas native, and he should welcome the challenge. The Jazz are 25-3 at home I believe, best in the NBA, but Dallas had always had the Jazz's number at home it's seems, and Dirk usually goes off. Should be a close, exciting, playoff atmosphere game.
I expect the Jazz to win however, not because I'm a homer, but because you guys are coming off a back to back, the Jazz are rested, and it's in Utah. If it was in Dallas, I'd take you guys.
Here's to a good, fun, injury-free game.

Yeah it would be nice if someone other than Dirk and Kidd and Damp showed up and played like they cared.

Since Howard's back is not well we need Stack to be back...
Yes, pun definitely intended...
To win we need to control the paint, stop Kyle Korver from shooting 3's as much as possible, and harrass Deron Williams...
If we lose, Avery has lost the team...

Has Josh scored 47 over the past week like he did in the last game in Utaher?

Howard's back is not the problem. He was doing that before the back injury. And besides, both Howard & Avery said his back was fine.
Oh, BTW, I think Williams is a PG that Kidd can actually cover. I expect to win this game if we can control Boozer and make AK47's not look like a defensive all 1st team defender.

Deron will take Kidd off the dribble all night long...
But here's how I see it:
Utah will win the game if Deron gets in the lane and finishes most of his layups and gets to the line.
Dallas will win if Deron misses a lot of his layups and doesn't get to the line.

It's all up to Avery or Kidd or someone who has some semblance of influence and respect in the locker room...
Ya never know...

Nah, Williams dominated in the last game: .727 shooting and 20 points in 34 minutes. He actually shoots better vs Kidd than any other PG in the league.
Anyways, if this were @ Dallas, it'd probably be a win for Dallas, but given that Utah and Dallas are very similar as far as Home and Road records, I think the Jazz will take this one.
