It's game four on this six game road trip for the Utah Jazz. They won their last game, against the Miami Heat, which is no surprise because we seem to beat them at least once every season. It was a big surprise earlier this month when the Jazz lost at home to the Orlando Magic, though. The Jazz were 18-7 at home against the Magic, and 31-19 overall against them in franchise history. The loss broke a number of streaks for futility for Orlando when playing in the #801. But I guess all streaks have to end sometime. One historical sign that is still pretty cool is that the Jazz are 13-12 in Orlando as well, for what that's worth.

They did lose by five in their own gym because of defensive breakdowns, allowing too easily, the penetration via the dribbling of the ball. And, also, you could clearly see, an overabundance of outside shooting looks, most of them good, for their bigmen. Also, you can clearly see, I am having a stroke or something.

Expected Starters:

Big Bench guys:

Injuries:

  • Aaron Gordon (ORL) -- out, left foot bone connected to the bust bone

Team numbers:

  • Pace: UTA 90.5 (28th) vs. ORL 92.7 (18th)
  • ORTG: UTA 106.7 (13th) vs. ORL 100.8 (28th)
  • DRTG: UTA 112.4 (29th) vs. ORL 106.8 (18th)

It's Friday night, the Friday before Christmas. Time for office parties.

GO JAZZ GO!
