Tonight is a big game for the Utah Jazz. They need a win. So what have the basketball Gods offered them?
- A home game
- Against an Eastern Conference Team
- That won even fewer games than the Jazz did last season
- That's on a long (6 game) road trip
- That is missing three players, Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon, and Roy Devyn Marble
- And hasn't won against the Jazz in a very long time (at home or on the road), and has lost five straight in Utah
- ...and is a team that Trey Burke has had success against
Our boys better not screw this up, or be haunted on Christmas eve by Jerry Sloan or something. Orlando has some nice pieces, are young, and are fun to watch. Their offense isn't much, but they have some nice young players. In a way they are a lot like the Jazz, just we're horrible on defense, and nice on offense.
I'm not going to watch this game because I have actual social engagements to attend to. So have fun ladies and gentlemen.
