<div align="center"> at Orlando Magic (10-4) at Utah Jazz (12-2) </div> Date: Monday 27th November, 7:30 PM (Utah) Location: Energy Solutions Arena Local TV: FSBayPlus / FSN National TV: NBALP Projected Starters Jazz Deron Williams, Ronnie Brewer, Andrei Kirilenko, Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur Projected Starters Magic Jameer Nelson, Grant Hill, Tony Battie, Hedo Turkoglu, Dwight Howard Prediction Jazz by 2 (wheres Stockton when you need him?! I just hurried and copied this cuz I needed a thread to talk about the game.)
Its 45-51 Magic with 6:22 left in the 3rd. Jazz's FG% has been higher, and so has their FT%. But the turnovers are killing them. Deron Williams got 2 quick ones in the first quarter. Now, Williams, Boozer, and Memo all have 3 fouls. Dwight Howard is killing us with 17 and 12.
Utah has been horrible, going 1 on 1 instead of running the offense. Why do we just seem unorganized since AK has comeback?

They are playing like crap now. Late 4th quarter comeback, but I doubt they make it.
You guys see that? 13-0 Utah run when they started using their offense instead of throwing up horrible shots on stupid plays. 88-75 ORL wins Spurs on Wednesday, we either play good or get killed, that's how it works. I bet Sloan tells them to wake up to reality, they let the good start get to their head and aren't doing what got them a good start.
God damn it...2 losses in a row Just as I was beginning to talk trash For us to get back on track... 1. Our shooters need to regain their touch, especially those coming off the bench, they need to be ready. 2. Okur needs to play more aggresively, instead of just settling at the 3 point line, he needs to take it in once in a while. Plus, he NEEDS TO UP HIS D, his Defense, or lack of, frustrates me!!! 2. Lastly, we need to take care of the ball, Andrei and Memo each with 4 turnovers, the whole team should get 8 turnovers a game. Giri only played 10 minutes, and had 3 turovers, he needs to be ready. We need to stop thinking we can catch up and blow the game away. Its awesome that they think they can catch up in any situation, but not to the point where they continually give points away and throw the ball away thinking they can gain it back, it adds up in the end.
And it doesn't get any easier with San Antonio and Lakers next. Jazz better start playing like they were before, this is pissing me off.
