Memphis at Utah

[unchill]

Tell me that I am crazy, but I love Utah (pk) tonight.

Memphis is in a back to back and Utah coming off a victory over the Clippers where Sloan "rested" his starting lineup for most of the 2nd half after chewing them out at half-time. Utah is at home where they are a much better team. While the rest of the country will be focused on the title game, the Jazz fans will come out to support their team in a big game for the Jazz to make the playoffs. Memphis has secured its playoff berth.

Any thoughts?

Why would you be crazy?

Road Teams playing at Utah with no rest after playing a road game yesterday is 2-9 ATS and 1-10 SU this year. 4-13 ATS and 2-15 SU since last season.

Frank,

You know I have to chime in on a Jazz game.. I dont like this game one bit.

This to me looks like a letdown situation after the Jazz struggled to win against the lousy Clippers last night.

The only reason the like is PK is that Pauo guy is questionable. I dont see the Jazz sticking with this team..if that Gaso guy was in I would think strongly on Memphis. I dont care if they are in the playoffs, their coach will push them until the end..

JMHO

Personally, I didn't play the game. I only posted the stats. I was leaning towards the Jazz. I agree with unchill. The starters didn't play much in the 2nd half. 4 of the 5 starters played less minutes than their season average. Sloan lit a fire under their ass. They scored 65 points in the 2nd half. Whether or not that carries forward to tonight games it the question. I don't see a letdown after beating the lousy Clippers. If they beat the Lakers I'd agree.
