Utah Jazz vs. Phoenix Suns – Friday – March 19, 2010

“Banged up”

This is what the Phoenix Suns’ thoughts on our Utah Jazz, no doubt that the Phoenix Suns are pushing really hard to improve their Western Conference Team Standings.

Phoenix Suns (42-26) Top 2 seed in the Western Conference | Pacific Division recently faced the dying Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA 2010 Regular Season; it was very ironic for the Timberwolves to face Utah Jazz with (44-24) team standing which is also Top 2 seed in the Western Conference | Northwest Division after they were beaten by the Suns.

The odds are against our Jazz, I can’t deny this. First, home court advantage as the Phoenix Suns will be hosting the game. Second, a lot of Jazz Players are still injured. Andrei Kirilenko still not recovering 100% from his injury, and I read from news that I still can’t believe that Deron Williams and Wesley Matthews will not be able to play later.

It was reported that Deron Williams suffering from a bruised shoulder and sprained ankle because he pushed himself too much to defeat Minnesota Timberwolves.

Phoenix Suns averaging above 100 points per game and holding a stiff foundation in their home town 117.8. The game tonight will be brutal and very physical, I know this well because Utah Jazz beat Phoenix Suns last March 4, 116-108. This game is their chance for revenge.

The Fight for seed – Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma Thunder March 14, 2010

Tonight, at Ford Center “home court of Oklahoma City Thunder” Utah Jazz will be in a tough situation. It’s like matching up against your doppelganger.

Oklahoma Thunder’s team standing : 40 – 24

Utah Jazz’s team standing : 42 – 23

The Jazz might have been doing good recently away from home, but with the recent loss from the Milwaukee Bucks showing that the Jazz’s lack of tight defense.  Tonight, both teams will be battling for the fourth seed in the Western Conference.

Now it’s a Battle for five for the Thunders as the Jazz already loss their chance. I hope our guys will be okay tonight, last match against the Bucks, Andrei Kirilenko left the game with strained left calf and Deron Williams unable to contribute well against the Bucks because of left shoulder injury.

The problem is that the Jazz twice against the Jazz this season, just this recent meeting Dec. 31, same place Ford Center the Jazz lost 87-86 in favor of Oklahoma Thunder.

I can’t wait for tonights game…

Players to start for the Oklahoma Thunder are:

Jeff Green(F), Kevin Durant(F), Nenad Krstic (C), Thabo Sefolosha (G), Russel Westbrook (G)
