Jazz will suffer a let down and lose by 20. Orlando is the best defensive team in the NBA (now that the Jazz knocked Miami down to #2).

If the Jazz could pick up just one more win on this trip and come back, 5-5, I'd be very happy. I had the Jazz at 4-6, or even 3-7 over the first 10 games, but big wins @OKC and @Miami have made up for the losses to Phoenix and Golden State. I'd like to see Sloan play the subs big minutes this game, especially Price, Watson, Hayward and Evans. Let the starters rest a bit more so they can be ready against Atlanta and Charlotte. Those seem more winnable than tonight's back-to-back.

Once Utah comes off this trip, they have a stretch of 14 games in which the Jazz should be the favorites in all but one (@ Portland). Yes, there are some very tough home games (Lakers, Miami, Orlando, New Orleans, San Antonio, OKC), but I hope the Jazz can win 10 or 11 out of those 14.
 
I say we WIN tonight and lose the next two inexplicably.

....wouldn't be all that surprising, would it?!!! I'm just hoping for a close game that we can possibly win as we approach the 3 minute mark! That's all you can ask for after that draining performance last night. Orlando can really stink from the outside at times. Maybe we catch them on an off night. They have a couple of guys that don't mind launching....and they will keep on launching whether they're hitting or not. Plus we have the Howard "factor." He could go 15-17 from the line.....or he could go 5 for 17 from the line!
 
This is my favorite one from the Magic messageboards...

"As long as we keep Millsap off the perimeter, we'll be good. Let him beat you from inside, but don't give easy three-point looks to a dead-eye shooter."
 
I honestly think we can win this game. But I predicted we would go 4-0 on this road trip, which we most certainly wont do.
 
Also: I think this game is going to depend a lot on Al Jefferson. I know he has a big task being matched up with Dwight Howard, let's see how he handles it.
