PrintUtah Jazz at Orlando Magic, Dec 21, 2009 5:00 PM MST
If the Magic get out to a lead like they did in Utah, this will be a long, long game. The Jazz likely won't come back from something like that against a good team on the road.
I don't have high hopes for this game, but the Jazz have a shot if they can limit turnovers, get a high amount of assists, and let Orlando do as much one on one as possible.
Jameer Nelson will be back tonight in a limited role backing up Jason Williams. If he has any issues at all, I imagine we'll see him sit pretty quickly.
I'm kind of scared that the Magic have shot poorly from three the past couple of games.
UPDATE - C.J. Miles will make the start tonight.
Also, I wonder how the Boozer/Howard sleepover went. Who got the top bunk? Did the first one asleep get their hand dipped in warm water?

How dare you, BBJ?
In like 10 sentences, you wrote more of a game preview than I did in like 2,000 words.

I have been getting all worked up over imaginary trades today and which ones I would prefer, etc.
So let me throw it out there. I think the only way the Jazz trade Carlos Boozer this season is if they can dump AK’s salary. So here is my ideas:
AK for Corey Maggette and Raja Bell or Speedy Claxton’s expiring contract.
Then you turn around and trade Boozer and the Knicks pick or Kevin Martin.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
That leaves us with only
‘Sap, Okur, Koufos & Fesenko
Don’t see that happening.
And I wouldn’t give up the 1st rounder for Martin.
Too injury prone to be worth it, IMO

All that great passing only led to a contested 20 foot jumper by Ronnie Brewer. Ugh.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Okur pumpfakes and Boozer jumpers. Nothing I dislike more.

Memo's defense has been great so far. Maybe Sloan calling him out will help.

I love you Ronnie

People talk about contract years being great motivation for players, but I think they are more often distractions.
Exhibit A: the Cleveland Cavaliers. All the Lebron hoopla is going to end up costing them this entire season. They won’t live up to their potential.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Booner doesn't realize that Okur doesn't have to be outside of the restricted circle on that last play.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Actually, his contract is more reasonable than I thought.
Next year, we could have Millsap and Gortat for the same price as Carlos Boozer’s contract this year.
People don’t realize how affordable Millsap’s contract is.

There's my Young C. Jeezy

That is a great play. CJ is going to get a lot of open looks on that pick and roll play at the top of the key.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Millsap with two really bad plays back to back.
