Could be tough, with the Thunder getting blown out by the Lakers, they are going to be hungry. These guys have been pretty good, having Okur would be nice, assuming we'd play better.

I'm excited to see Harden play.

This is the kind of game we would lose on the road last year. Being at home we better win.

These guys are going to give us some problems but we should pull out the W.

Thunder can easily win this one if we don't contain Durant. As long as he has a sub-par performance I think we can get the win

I have watched a few of their games so far and came away unimpressed. He hasnt quite figured it out yet.

As long as Durant is on the floor, I'd have Kirilenko on the floor to guard him. Not starting Kirilenko will allow Durant to go off in the first quarter. I predict a dozen points for Durant befor Kirilenko gets in the game at the four minute mark of the first quarter.

The Jazz aren't showing much at home and this game will come down to the final minute to determine the outcome.

I just hope he repeats his 2-15 shooting from Sunday night in Portland.

The Jazz are due to put a complete together at home and I predict a blow out. If the Jazz dont blow them out, then the Jazz are not where I think they are which is a true contender.

The Thunder have been one of the top defensive teams so far this year, and they pose a problem for us with all their athleticism. I don't expect a blowout and I'm not as optimistic as everyone else, but if the Jazz continue playing as well as they have they should probably win.

Westbrook-quick athletic PG
Durant - long athletic scoring wing
Green - quick aggressive PF
Kristic/Collison - Tough defensive Center

They have everything that give the Jazz fits. We have to rely on our depth to give us an advantage. If we start to struggle we have to stick to the system instead of going iso and taking bad shots. When you're taking bad shots it gets a lot harder trying to stop the other team.

It's a good matchup. Knicks/Lakers is just a **** massacre.

Durant is eating Brewer alive.
