The Jazz WON'T lose at home for the rest of the year

Feb 28 vs Sacramento 9:00 pm
Mar 4 vs Houston 9:00 pm
Mar 6 vs Denver 10:30 pm
Mar 17 vs Washington 9:00 pm
Mar 24 vs Houston 10:30 pm
Mar 28 vs Phoenix 9:00 pm
Mar 30 vs New York 9:00 pm
Apr 3 vs Minnesota 9:00 pm
Apr 11 vs Golden State 9:00 pm
Apr 13 vs LA Clippers 9:00 pm

I really don't see the Jazz losing any of those at home. Houston twice, Denver, and Phoenix should keep it interesting, all the rest are gimmies.

That would give the Jazz an automatic record of 44-23 with out counting the road games.

If the Jazz can win 6 of the last 15 road games they will be a 50 win team and squarely in the middle of the pack in the Western Conference playoff race would a good chance of facing either Portland or Denver in the first round.

NY always seems to always be tough for us I don't know why. Prolly cause the ESA boos them as much as their home crowd.

Just a gut reaction, but Washington, NY, and Minnesota worry me a little. I feel like, if we beat Houston, Denver, and Phoenix, then we're bound to lose to at least one bottom-dweller.

The Jazz don't lose to the Western Conference or bottom-dwellers hardly ever at home. I don't see us losing to Houston without McGrady or Rafer at home (not that either one of them are great players) but Boozer / Milsap / Okur can run circles around Yao and Scola. We beat NY soundly at home last year, as well. Phoenix without Amare doesn't scare me a lot either. Denver is the only team that gives me any pause on that list, and I can't remember the last time we lost to them at home either..

As long as there is no injury relapse or anything like that I am confident that we won't lose more than 1 game at home for the rest of this season. Bad teams don't usually give us trouble at home, just on the road. Hopefully we can take care of business at home and give ourselves a chance to make a run by winning some road games.

This seems quite jinxy to me.

I understand your sentiment, but the fact is I don't think I ever jinx the Jazz. Not the Jinxing type.

i like our home schedule. Only the Minnesota game and Golden State game are on the second of back to back and those two teams are pretty lousy on the road. The biggest ones are the Houston game on Mar4 and Denver on Mar 6. Win those games and we could be on top of the division before we go on the road trip.

It's a jinx only if you start the thread on the General NBA Discussion board. The Houston/Phoenix games will be difficult, but it's not an impossible task.

Yep.

Also, I predict Boozer will sign for the minimum, and play the rest of his career with no injuries and a an average of 20 points and ten rebounds.
