    Andrei Kirilenko/ Tracy McGrady</div>

    Key's To The Game

    <u>Jazz</u>

    Get the ball to Kirilenko
    Find a way to stop McGrady
    Don't let Juwan Howard start scoring inside
    Arroyo needs to step up

    <u>Magic</u>

    Get McGrady going
    Control the inside with Howard, Zaza and Gooden
    Create turnovers
    Run the ball

    <u>ThaLord's Prediction</u>

    If the Magic play like they've done so far they won't win this one. If McGrady doesn't get some help it'll be very dificult come out on top against a pretty good balanced Utah. If Kirilenko steps up for them they shouldn't have much trouble to take away a win in Orlando. The Jazz play bad on the road, but so do the Magic at home(well, actually everywhere) so that won't be a factor. If Gooden plays well for the Magic they should come pretty close but I'll take the Jazz in this one...

    This game was just ugly. No one stepped up, Andrei normally does it but he didn't tonight, and no one else did. Normally when people start writing off the Jazz (which they will start to do) they come back with a winning streak. This game make me hope the Jazz pull of a big trade. The Jazz need a scorer, and apart from Andrei Kirilenko, I'd be will to give up anyone for that scorer. Because I believe Utah can make the playoffs, they just need a scorer. That was Harp, but he's out for the season. Utah can either not make a trade, and get a lottery pick or make one and go for 21 straight playoff apperances.
