He was the leading PPG scorer in the entire NBA last season, and provides plenty of problems for every team on defense, the Jazz will be no exception. Harpring is an above average defender, but he will still struggle with McGrady. Harpring needs to do his best to force McGrady into bad shots, because he will be taking lots of shots. Prediction With the Jazz's recent slump, I can't see them winning this one. The duo of Yao and McGrady will be to much for Utah (if Yao plays). Raja Bell really needs to step it up, he talked about Utah having no real desire, and since he is the co captain should really look to show the Utah 'team' how he wants it done.
