I think this is more of a must win then the Spurs game. Regardless of train wreck or not, we cant consider beating the spurs the championship and come out relaxed against NY. We got to take care of this game and get ready for that mini road trip.

^Agreed. We took them lightly before and they beat us. Time to see if we can stay focussed after a big win.

If we can win this game it will be a great way to end January....

Udoka is actually trying to like show Boozer hes tough or something? Boozer would squash you kid, this game scares the hell out of me. For some reason the knicks always come to play against us.

If we stay focused, play defense.. we'll be fine.

Deron with 30 assists!

its these games that scare me the most

jazz always seem to play down to their opponents level in games vs teams of knicks caliber. If they hang with us, I could definitely see this one getting out of hand in the 4th, we need to open up and end it in the 1st half.

the one nice thing has to be no Starbury...Deron struggles against him.

they still have crawford though, and he always finds a way to go off for 40 against us

We need this one. We've got to learn to consistently beat crappy teams like the knicks.

For some reason this game scares me. The Jazz SHOULD easily win tonight, but I'm worried that they'll have a letdown after beating the Spurs. I don't think Marbury's playing though and he's the player that always seems to step his game up when playing the Jazz.

Could we beat the Knicks for once please, jesus.

lets end the month on a good note, jazz by 17

In my mind, this is a "must win" game. Home court versus a crap team with the worst coach in the NBA while hanging on to a very precarious playoff spot. There's no excuse for losing this game and I don't think they will.

Jazz by 18.

Considering that the most he's ever scored against us is 29 and that he's had some abysmal shooting performances against us, that's exactly right.

BTW, I'm not trying to be an ****, cause I know what you mean; there have been a couple games where we've had no answer for Crawford, but I just wanted to call you on the hyperbole.
Anyways, I'm always a little scared of playing the Knicks, but I'm pretty confident that we'll get this one at home.
