Cavs @ Jazz, 1/14/11, 7 pm Local Time

Definitely an exciting first half for fans to watch and other then the 3rd qtr (mostly due to poor D) it was a good game overall.

That double behind the back pass had me crying tears of joy like the guy from the double rainbow video, just a thing of beauty. Also in the post game interviews it was good to see AJ make a joke about DWill giving him grief about not being able to dunk and saying DWill's just jealous that he doesn't have the hops that AJ has.
 
Second unit may not always get it done, but they're more entertaining to watch than the first.
 
I'm really digging this 4 game stretch we're in the middle of. Knicks, Cleveland, Washington, and NJ have terrible defenses and mostly terrible frontcourts. All strung together, it gives us a much needed chance to have the game slow down just enough to get in sync. Also perfectly set up before a 4 game stretch where we face Boston, LA, and San Antonio. The scheduling gods are with us.

That LA and SA game are tough enough but had you looked at how the schedule set them, the game in LA is right after the Jazz's 4 game east road trip, so that is a tough 5 game roadie and then turnaround after the game in LA to play SA the next night at home.
Harp has talked about scheduled losses (certain games when the schedule itself almost regardless of the team the Jazz are playing) and the LA game and the SA game fit that to a T and I have tickets to the SA game so I'm a little annoyed by it. I've been to 6 or 7 SA games over the years (none last year) and haven't seen the Jazz beat them in person dating back to the S&M days.

All true, but the Laker game isn't even really part of the road trip. After Philly on the 22nd, they fly home, sleep in their beds, get the 23rd off, sleep in their beds again, and then fly out the evening of the 24th for the LA game on the 25th. So it's more like a 4 game Eastern swing with plenty of time to rest and focus on an isolated back to back. The Lakers will be well rested for us, but San Antonio will be finishing up a 3 game road trip when they get to town.
 
The schedule is about to get brutal and will tell us everything we want to know about the Jazz going forward into the second half of the season.

I am more intrigued by that L.A. game than any other because it could give us an idea if Utah really can finally win in Los Angeles. I'm not counting on it, since, as you stated r00t, it comes at the end of a long eastern road trip - but stranger things have happened this season.

....brutal? Our next two games are against the pathetic Bullits and then the pathetic Nets!
