Last night at Miami? Or tonight in Orlando?

Miami game we obviously had Millsap going for 46, including 11 in the last 27 of the 4th quarter. Deron also fouled out, so we had to play OT with Ronnie Price who stepped up big time. Showed a LOT of guts

Orlando tonight we had every reason in the world to fold, but we stayed tough and came back to win. The 24-2 win was HUGE, probably one of the biggest on the road in recent memory. Also, we were playing on the fumes of the emotional rollercoaster of the Miami game. Deron catching fire late in the 3rd and Big Al dominating Howard also helped.

So which is the bigger/more impressive win to you?
 
I'd say the Heat win was more impressive.

But I don't want to take anything away from tonight; this game was equally incredible.

The best back to back ever.
 
Beating LeBron and his team of lackeys was more satisfying, plus the whole game of free-throw attrition paying off is something you almost never see in the NBA.

Both wins were awesome though. We might not have wins that are this satisfying for the rest of the regular season, so bask in their glory while you still can.
 
Good question. No doubt last night was more exciting and had several comebacks. Down from 22 and then down from 8 in the last 1:30 and come from behind in the O/T.

But tonight was impressive. Jazz were tired, physically and emotionally. They could have folded and been content with a split. Once that lead went from 18 down to 9 in the closing minutes of the 3rd, I think it put some fire back in the team. Deron certainly turned it on after having a terribel 1st half.

I'd still have to vote for Miami, but tonight was pretty sweet.

I did; because i'm more impressed by our team still being hungry to come back again after all the pub they got from the comeback last night. That is something we haven't seen from the Jazz in recent years. So because of the mental toughness it took tonight, i'm more impressed by it.
 
Miami.

You see comebacks like that only once a decade. 8 points down with 37 seconds left? I can only think of when Reggie owned the Knicks...

Heat game was kind of fluky with 11 in 30. This was more of a beatdown in the last 15 minutes.

I do agree with an earlier post, though, that the Miami win is more satisfying. I think the Orlando win was better and slightly more impressive.

How people are more impressed by this win boggles my mind. We were down 8, with 30 seconds when Millsap shot, and we came back to win. How can any game be more impressive than that? Wow, 24 hours later people are already forgetting about one of the most impressive games in the history of the Jazz and the NBA.
 
I'm of the opinion that the Heat are too overhyped. Take that and the fact that the Orlando game was on the 2nd night of a back-to-back AND we came down from that awful deficit and my vote is with the Orlando game.
 
They're both equally impressive. Miami win was more gratifying though, to shut up all of the Heat hype, at least for a game. Seeing Millsap become a star overnight is pretty damn cool.
 
As just a single game, gotta go with Miami.
BUT, factoring in the fact we had just beaten Miami in a dramatic overtime game the night before, then rallying in the 4th quarter (when we shoulda been folding up our tents) to beat Orlando by 10 going away; Wow... This team is flat driven...
 
I wonder how many people actually watched the Miami game. I watched the second half of the Orlando game and I was no where near excited as I was last night. Was tonight's game impressive? Yes. Back to backs don't get any tougher than tonight's. With that said, the Miami game was way more improbable and impressive. To me, it's not even close. Games like the Miami one will happen very, very rarely. Games like tonight's will happen a few times a year.

Jazz played better tonight during the comeback than they did against Miami. Jazz had to make some improbable threes and hope for misses at the end of the game. They rolled past Orlando tonight. That's why I think it's more impressive. Or put in another manner, Jazz outscored Miami by 20 in 24 minutes to win. They outscored Orlando, currently a better team, by 28 in about 15 minutes to win.

I'll agree to disagree. The Miami game is as impressive as they will ever come. Tonight's game was very impressive, but not nearly as impressive as "the Miracle in Miami".
 
Hurricane (or should I say, Hurricun?) Jazz just swept through Florida and left widespread devastation in its wake. President Obama has just declared Florida a disaster area. FEMA has been mobilized.
 
I still think it's the Miami win, but it's a lot closer than many would think. Beating a team in a place the Jazz have had fits in on the second night of a back to back that went to OT is damn impressive.
 
I think this game was more impressive. 1st off I think Orlando is the better team. 2nd off it took a lot of luck to pull out the win vs Miami. In this game they were down 18 points in the 3rd quarter and won by 10 out scoring them by 28 from that point on.

I'll add this. This was by far the best coaching job by Sloan I have seen in a while. Going to the zone and sticking with it was a stroke of genius. It completely changed the way this game was played.
