ha, hey, you're supposed to be my fellow-in-hope here.Wow, the game is being broadcast here in Germany! Time to get up at 4:30 am to watch the new era begin.
I expect headbands, 360 windmill dunks, Big Al Black Holes, CJ Miles Chuck City, Fes with more than 7 mins PT, and Deron actually playing hard!
Suns by 15
I expect Deron to score 50 pts, shoot 67%, have 20 assits , no turnovers and get a atleast 2 rebounds now that Sloan isn't there to hold him back.

Historic game indeed.
Colonel Ty sends Bell and Sap to the bench, starts Fes, heals Memo, materializes a starting SG, lets Deron bring 40 and 20, and stops Hosni Mubarak from siphoning off billions from Egypt as he leaves.
Go Jazz.
This is an historic game. The first game in more than 23 years that Jerry Sloan is not head coach for the Jazz. I don't know what the feeling is in the locker room, but I hope there isn't a division amongst the players. Hope they come out and show that the Jazz aren't done and dusted.
I have a hunch not much changes. Deron will probably freelance a lot more than usual, and this will probably lead to fewer assists, more turnovers, and even worse defense. Only way this works to Utah's advantage is if Deron and the guys run, run, run and run some more. PHX is a fast-tempo team and it will be a track race. If Deron wanted to cut loose from the half court, there is not a better team in the league against which to challenge this assumption.
If Utah gets punked by 20, I will not be shocked at all.
Look for the arena to be empty by the end of the 3rd quarter if this happens.
