It didn't seem like anyone else was in a big rush to post a game thread, so I did.
As far as the game goes, I don't see it being easy by any means, but I definitely see it as winnable. Besides Toronto, every team we're playing on this trip is a legitimate playoff contender (speaking of contenders, did anyone take a gander at the Hawks board? They referred to US, yes, THE UTAH JAZZ, as contenders. That nice to hear for a change... )

It'll be fun to watch Harping and Smith....

Jazz by 8.

Tough game. But the Jazz are better.

[erudite23]

I have a feeling the Hawks take this one. Don't know what its worth, but whatever.

[carrottop12]

No Jinx. But the Jazz have had another gear in the fourth quarters of games over the past month and a half that teams just haven't been able to compete with.

the dreaded 2nd of back to back on eastern road trips

i just hope the jazz start this game strong, if they don't it could be a long night

this is a really talented team we are facing and they will be well rested, unlike us

+1

[FJS]

Let's hope.
I think we are deeper than never, and yesterday for example, CJ, AK, or Harpring didn't play much at all. And Boozer shoulnd't be tired. Brewer, Deron and Millsap are damm young, so I don't see the problem.
It's there's any problem would be in the head, not in the legs.

[Duiz]

I hope this isn't the end guys. Come on jazz, don't give up on yourselves darn it!

[kerplunk]

GO JAZZ!

[MeestR]

jazz CANNOT afford to lose. SA has 20 losses. UT, HOU, NO, and POR all have 23. one loss drops them down to 24 and in 6th place. ATL will be looking for vengence for last months defeat. jazz on a back to back. they can prove A LOT by winning tonight. if they lose, they prove nothing except that they deserve 6th place.

[DelaneyRudd]

I think tonight's game will be a lot like last nights. I think Deron wil play much better, which will offset any drop off the rest of the team has.

[xstockholmsyndromex]

Here comes Lucky #13!! These team has a fight in them that we havent seen for a long time. I dont think we lose tonight....I just have a good feeling about this game. I was honestly more worried about last nights game....I think Deron will have a MUCH better night shooting tonight and will still be an assist machine. Jazz by 6.

[OC Jazzfan]

Unfortunately, I have a good feeling about this game which means they'll probably lose. I too expect D-Will to be hot tonight which hopefully will counterbalance the starter(s) that don't show up to play. Jazz by 8.

[jazzfan1971]

I got the Jazz winning tonight. Hoping for good energy.

[bleu]

The Jazz are the better team in this game but the Hawks are going to come out with more energy and put up a tough match. I could really see it going either way, but I'd put my 5 dollars on the Jazz.

[Soul Patch]

Cj gots to post up.

[Soul Patch]

I don't like how this is looking. We're playing sloppy again.

[Racer X]

The streak ends here boys.

[Soul Patch]

Put in AK we need someone else that can distribute the way their guarding Deron.
