If AK47 can shut down Wallace, the Bobcats are going to struggle. Wallace has a speed and athleticism edge over AK47, and he needs to have a big game for the Bobcats to win, which wont be easy. Prediction The Bobcats just wont be able to score enough points to win this one. Jazz 103 Bobcats 82
Uh oh, it looks like a scrimmage. Just kidding of course, I like how Charolette is playing like a team, they know they don't have the a legitiment chance against most teams but seem to be having fun playing. The Jazz should win this game with ease and maybe since Arroyo seems to be back, this will be a good game for him to get back into the rythm. I say the Jazz win this one 108-84.
I'd be shocked if the Jazz dropped this one, there playing great this season and Boozer is meshing well with the team but hopefully they can continue this kind of play once Arroyo is back. Boozer and AK47 are going to tear up the Bobcats, the bobcats arent that talented yet to take on the likes of the Jazz. Jazz 106-87.
WOW. Incredible game! Jazz were down at 22 at one point. They were also down by 4 with 18 seconds left, when Raja nailed the 3, redeeming himself after his dumb foul. He also made the last 2 clutch free throws. Gotta feel bad for Bogans...... he missed 2 free throws allowing Jazz to nail that 3. Bout time that dude had some bad luck, he was nailing everything else.... Well, great game. Didn't expect them to win after I saw them down in the 4th...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! The game was in our friggin hands, it was just sitting their waiting for us to take it, and we didn't get it. Too many fouls down the stretch. Good debut by Bogans, though, he was awesome (excluding the missed free throws ).
Jeez, I didn't watch teh game but the starters were terrible, and it looked like Sloan benched em all in the beginning. The Bobcats played a good game, started off real well.

Keith Bogans is officially the best player on the bobcats, he's proven because of his year with the Magic and man oh man did he perform tonight. I was just watching the highlights and he was good, I checked the box score and he had 23 points I think and Boozer is who kept the Jazz in the game he had 34 games.
Good game from the Bobcats, they really took it to their more fancied opponents in the Jazz. Inexperience cost them in the end. In an article I read before the game, Sloan stated that the Jazz can't underestimate their opponents. He was so right. The Jazz are lucky to escape with the win, but a win's a win. Their going to have to pick up their game to beat the Magic.
Why didn't Bogans play this good at Kentucky? Him and Tayshaun seem to be playing better as a Pro. Anyways, a W is a W, and I'm glad we got the W. I don't know which one needs to be mentioned more: The Jazz being down by 22 at one point or coming back from being down 22?
