    So, basketball experts, how do we match up with the jaZZ?

    I don't know. But I do know the Jazz are coming off their worst home loss in team in history after they shit the bed against Houston the other night.

    It's going to be a tough one to say the least. Utah has a very big team. We have a undersized team. We will get smashed on the boards. Hopefully we can shoot a decent percentage from the perimeter cause I suspect we are going to have a tough time inside, IMO.

    We're going to have a tough time period because it's the Jazz in Salt Lake.

    I think the last time I saw the Blazers win on the road was in Utah. Should I hop on a plane?

    Gladly! JJ Hickson will get 2 quick fouls trying to guard Jefferson, Damian Lillard is going to get schooled by Tinsley and Favors is going to smash the Blazers bench!

    I won't say much about the matchups, but we need Aldridge to dominate. Hopefully we can get them into foul trouble and force them out of their comfort zone. Personally I would rather go small on them. Use our stretch 4 lineup more. Force their bigs to have to guard the perimeter and give Aldridge room to work the paint.

    I am hoping and praying that our wings can hit from the perimeter. They need to shoot at least 44% to keep the defense honest.

    Two games to watch Al Jefferson audition for the Blazer this summer. Personally I have not liked his game since he was in Boston, but I am open minded. Let's all see if he plays any D or how he passes. I know he can score, (Especially on JJ) but is he a black hole on offense? My fear is that our offense would become stagnant with him. Should be fun to watch.

    Jefferson would not be a good fit in Stotts' offense.

    Frankly not many traditional Centers would. However he would be (and most Centers would be) in Stotts' defense.

    Going to have to give up some free-flowing O to get some D next year.

    Jefferson is a pretty lousy defender in any system.

    I'm gonna have to agree with this.

    Good morning guys. I love Al Jefferson's low post game.
