Another tough game but we're at home and we need this one to keep the division at bay. I say the Jazz come home with extreme confidence after their monumental roadie and win by 12.
 
OKC on a back-to-back after playing the Spurs at home tomorrow.

Serious confidence and hopefully a newly found energy to play 48 minutes.

Go Jazz.
 
Going to be a tough game. Thunder will be looking for revenge after what the Jazz did to them on their home court.
 
This is a tough one. I'm thinking the players feel like they accomplished something, beginning to end, and did what they had to do, forgetting that every game matters, and that some four game road vignette isn't the season.

We lose by 12.
 
OKC looks to have Green back for Monday - he's missed the last 4 games.

Fine by me because Millsap destroyed him two weeks ago.
 
Wow; 4 games on the road in 5 days, or 6 games in 9 days counting GS & the Clips at home before our road trip. Then 1 day off and OKC back at home. I'd think we'd get more time off than just 1 day; sheeesh. The first home game after a long road trip is usually a bad game for the home team... Hopefully we can continue beating the odds...:cool:
 
Well, first we need to debate how much we spot them before we decide to start playing. I say we get down by 22 (seems to be a good number lately), then try to rally back but don't quite make it this time. Also, the free throws will be 21 attempts for Utah and 48 for the Thunder.

OR....

We finally decide to play for 48 minutes and win this thing going away.
 
We might come out a little flat after all the hoopla of the road trip.
Should be a really good game though in the end.

I hope to see some good energy in the arena tomorrow night!

Go Jazz.
 
I'm happy with the character of the team, the confidence, the comeback wins, however, I want to see a game in which the Jazz show 35-40 good Jazz basketball execution and a consistent effort, focus and in which I do not have to hit the screen of PC hard or I feel like I better follow the game from boxscores while watching another game.

AJ and Millsap dominated Green and Ibaka in OKC, hopefully they will again. AK's defense against Durant was one of the best defenses I have seen from a player against a unstoppable scorer like Durant. I hope the comeback performances will not become a habit.
 
I want to see what happens if we start CJ instead of Raja in this game.

I'm not sure it would make a big difference, I think it's just attitude at the start of game. In the Orlando and Atlanta game we came out pretty intense in the first quarter and played pretty well. We struggled a bit in the 2nd but it wasn't a huge deficit that we couldn't come back from. I think just play hard in the first quarter and the pieces will fall in place. Thunder will go on some runs but it shouldn't be anything we can't overcome if we start well.
 
Hayward.. yes hayward.. has a "big" game.

That'd be fun to watch. I hope this kid can get his shot turned around. If the shot starts falling I think every other aspect of his game will improve, a lot.
