    Injured List

    <font color="Red">Clippers:</font> Kerry Kittles, Shaun Livingston, Mamadou N'diaye
    <font color="Navy">Jazz:</font> Raul Lopez

    Key Matchup

    Elton Brand vs. Andrei Kirilenko

    Elton Brand is a very consistent Forward, who will contribute plenty of points and rebounds. He is much more suited to PF than Kirilenko because of his build, and Kirilenko will have to box out strong to get his rebounds.

    Prediction

    Jazz by 4.

    Jazz win 87-86...... wow.

    Wasn't televised, so couldn't watch it, but nice to see Jazz catch a break for once.

    From the box score it looked like another team effort. The team shot 92% from the FT line and 20 assists. Humphries had a good game with 8 points and 12 rebounds and McLeod lead the Jazz in scoring with 18 but 12 of them came from the FT line. And Giricek actually got off the bench and scored 7 points in 12 minutes of play.

    I haven't seen the Jazz play without Boozer but it seems like from looking at the box scores, could we be a better team without Boozer?

    The Jazz have played 5 games without Boozer. They lost the first three. Were you asking the same thing then??

    What an absurd question!!............Tank

    I think the difference of the Jazz's lastest success has been Matt Harpring...he's played great. So has McLeod...
