Last game was exciting, so I expect this one to be the same. Especially if Boozer and Williams play. We need ATLEAST Williams. But if so....... Jazz by 4.
I'm actually planning on watching this one - I rarely get to see the Jazz up here in the frozen north I'm interested to see just how the Jazz will play this game - the Nuggets love to run, and I want to see how Deron and Co will combat that. And really, any excuse to watch Deron play is a good excuse as far as I'm concerned.

Solid first half for the Jazz - they really took the game at Denver on the road. Deron Williams isn't showing a whole lot of rust, other than a couple of uncharacteristic turnovers at the end of the half. Kid's got range upon range. Matt Harpring played well, too, and even though he's not playing his best, I like what Paul Millsap is giving them off the bench. Utah doesn't have a lot of star power, but they're solid 1-9. I wonder about Kirilenko, though - what is it this time, and is he going to miss another bunch of games? The Jazz can't seem to catch a break from the infirmary.
I'm absolutely shocked, HOffa is playing out of his mind right now Where did this come from? Showing why he was a lotto pick I guess
Nice win, with big contributions coming from the bench. However just as Boozer and Williams returned, Memo didn't play, ending his streak of 233 consecutive starts. Kirilenko also left the game with a bruised knee.
Great win by the Jazz. I will actually put them in the contender class. I'll probably take a lot of heat for this one, but I think Deron Williams is the best point guard in the league. If not, second hands down.
Finally got to watch another Jazz game. Great game, Utah took over in the 2nd half. Great win especially with Boozer barley playing, AK getting injured, and Memo not playing at all. lol, like JRay said Hoffa played great and was always on the glass. DWill played great and had 14 dimes.
