This is an absolutely brutal match up as we're trying to climb back to .500 and the Jazz are on a 9 game winning streak.

Jarrett Allen and DeAndre Jordan cannot afford to play poorly tonight, and we'll need a much more consistent effort from LeVert and Harris as well. The game's not unwinnable but the Jazz are tough inside and on the perimeter.

I love the matchup... we should have beat them last time if Kyrie wasnt dingged. We were up 10+ in the 4th. They have no awnser for our gaurdplay and we have a huge bench advantage on them now that we have everyone back. No one on that teams scares you offensively and we can afford to play zone vs them for long stretches.

I think this is a win unless our shooting is off from 3. we will get all the open 3s we want

I forgot that Conley was out.

Kyrie should give Spyda the business tonight offensively. If Prince, Harris, and Temple hit their open threes we can definitely bring it.

This should be a fun one . Utah is he hottest team in the NBA right now. We'll have to fight for this one too, I don't see Kyrie playing more than 20-25 mins. We're playing back to back so if we can get this 1st win out the way it'll help.

Utah's been the best offensive team in the league since Conley went out. If Mitchell is playing, Jordan Clarkson and Mudiay have been killing it off the bench. Ingles and Bogie haven't been missing from 3. This one is going to be really tough. We need Prince, JA, and DJ to show up.

Hoping for a good fun matchup. The Hawks game was kinda a tease with how well the Nets could play if gamescript goes well.
Looking forward to this one tonight. Just please no huge first half deficits!

And I'm going to be watching what Allen does around the rim with Gobert. This should be one of the top matchups Allen has to look forward to in terms of analyzing his own progression, both on offense and defense against a guy like Gobert.

Free throw shooting and turnovers once again were a huge problem against Atlanta. Can't have that problem once again against Utah.

This is the most confident I’ve felt about a game in over a month. Let’s get this W.

I might be a Doubting Derrick but I think the Nets lose by like 12.

I want to see Spencer remain aggressive on driving the ball to the basket even when he's on the floor with Kyrie. Defenses won't be able to zero in on him now with Irving on the floor.

I expect this to be a win. I'm sorry if some don't agree with me but I feel we top 5 team even without KD this year. Just need some chemistry going.
Jazz on a hot streak vs bad teams and we can test ourselves where we stand. Definitely a tough game but hopefully very exciting.

Tough game. Nets will need to hit their 3's and FTs are the keys to the game for the Nets imo.

That is a bold statement.

As I said feel free to disagree but I'm very high on this team and demand them to meet my expectations. Outside the Clippers team I feel like we can challenge and take out most without KD. That LAC team is a different bread.

Watch the perimeter defense closely.

Beating a team and being better than they are are two different things. Nets need to stay healthy, play consistent defense and get the turnovers to around league to crack the bottom of the top 10 IMO.

That's true for any team.

Coach Snyder looks like a psychopath.
