I want a dominating performance tonight, we need show the NBA that we are a team to fear and are still a legit threat to the Lakers. Jazz by 15, Williams destroys Kidd, AK pesters Dirk and Harpring, Boozer or Sloan get a technical before the end of the game.

Dirk injured AK, AK countered with a flop. Let's see what Dirk will do.

I also want a win and a nice one. For some reasons, we own the Hornets so I want to see us beat another playoffs team on the road before getting too excited.

A win here would hypothetically give Utah a 3 game lead on Dallas & pull Utah closer to a higher seed. Maybe Utah can still get that 4th seed :-?

WE NEED THIS GAME. I don't want LA in the first round. Out of all our remaining road games this one is the most winnable. Get it done Jazz. If you can't win this one after a 2 day rest then I don't know what to say...

This one should be interesting. Utah can effectively guarantee they don't play the Lakers in the first round with a win tonight.

I like the Jazz in this game because it's on National Television, they have had 2 days to prepare for it, and it's in Dallas where Deron did some growing up. He will want to put on a show. Plus it's against Kidd who Deron likes to play against.

The Jazz play much, much better defensively when they get some practice time. With no CJ that means more time for AK and probably a little time for Harpring.

I don't know whether to be happy or angry if we win tonight. Happy with the big win, but angry that it only took them 77+ games to figure out how to win on the road.

Better late than never I guess. GO JAZZ!

a road win is a road win, if we can do it to noh and dallas, then i'll be very happy. we need to go into the playoffs with some road wins under our belt, and we have the perfect schedule to do so.

What is FJS's game thread record? I feel we have been blown out the last few?

All Dallas really does is shoot jumpers unless they're on the break, so if they're hot we're prolly gonna lose..

Meh start. Couple of shots didn't fall. Booz looks lazy.

seejaydeja · Post #15 » by **seejaydeja** » Thu Apr 9, 2009 1:53 am

AK's off. Get Korver in

seejaydeja · Post #16 » by **seejaydeja** » Thu Apr 9, 2009 1:55 am

5 on 4 and we get a TO.. Classic

Terry has been a Jazz killer ever since we didn't sign him that offseason

slow feet, no heart, no hustle, no balls.

I thought there was a chance that the Hornets game was the beginning of the Jazz possibly becoming adequate on the road. I thought wrong. Typical Jazz road game. God they suck.

No Harpring, who gives Dirk fits when he gets matched up on him.

Also, is there a worse backup PG than Knight?
