    Key Matchup

    Rasheed Wallace vs. Carlos Boozer

    Carlos Boozer's play in recent games hasn't been up to his usual high standards. His defense has been exposed, and if Rasheed Wallace can bring Boozer out of the post, he could score a lot of points. Boozer needs to score, and rebound well for the Jazz to win.

    Prediction

    With Ben Wallace not playing, the Jazz should find the rebounds a lot easier to come by. The Raptors dominated in the paint in the last game, and I think if the Jazz can overcome this problem they will win but not by to much. Jazz 96, Pistons 92.

    This should be an exciting game. Hopefully I'll go to it.

    With me being a Jazz fan, I'll agree with you and say Jazz will come out on top but only by a little.

    Jazz win, 108 - 93. Pistons were without Ben Wallace, Billups and head coach Larry Brown. Boozer got 20 points, 13 rebounds. Okur got 19 points, 7 rebouds and 3 assists against his former team. He should be starting, as he outplayed Collins again. Gordan Giricek is finding some form, 15 points and 5 assists today. Kirilenko only got 2 blocks.

    Jerry Sloan is really strick on his lineup and his subbing paterns. He seems to like how Collins plays with the first team, and then Okur with the second team. With Okur comming off the bench, he gives the second team a go-to post guy that most second teams can't defend good. I think Sloan knows what he is doing and it seems to be working.
