A Look at the Jazz
Utah’s success in the last couple of years has been primarily due to their silky-smooth offense and high point totals. This year they’ve retained the offensive firepower plus added in a little defense. Granted their strength still ...

... tonight's game should be one to watch. A battle between division rivals, the young up-start Blazers versus the hardnosed Jazz. If Utah can keep the turnovers under 16 and limit the Blazer's fast-break points and offensive rebounds (basically everything they screwed up on in Minnesota) I see the Jazz covering. As for the O/U, I can see this game being a 92-87 defensive battle, or just as easily a 113-108 explosion. I'll take the middle ground, Jazz win 103-99.

... playing great D so far. The healing is gradual and it's frustrating because you expect much more. But if you compare his first game back to tonight, I think you'll see a big difference.
I predict a lot of dunks and layups tonight as Deron finds Brewer, AK, and Millsap all night long under the hoop.
And not matter what happens, I won't turn the game off.
