Raul Lopez can pick up fouls quickly, so he must get his footwork right. If he doesn't, Marbury will have an easy time scoring, and if that starts to happen the Jazz are in trouble. Prediction The Jazz have failed to show consistency in their game many times in the season. To have any chance of a turnaround in their season, they must win these kind of games, and start a winning streak. They have struggled to do that so far, so I'm going with the Knicks. Knicks by 5
Knicks by 5. EDIT: ha.. i didn't even see your prediction Stockton(until after I posted Knicks by 5), great minds think alike.
The Jazz lost 102 - 99 in OT. They rallied to force OT, but missed a 3 point shot to tie it again. Andrei Kirilenko had another good game, 25 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and blocks. Carlos Boozer had a game to forget, fouled out in 21 minutes with more fouls than points and rebounds. Kirk Snyder is handling the starting spot well, and a logjam is starting to develop at the 2. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting BallerAK47:</div><div class="quote_post">Jazz better win one today for me on my birthday!! Grrrrrrr lol</div> Happy belated, sorry the Jazz couldn't pull out a W, but it's not the first time they've let down their fans .
