The Utah Jazz enter tonight's game against the Orlando Magic on a two-game losing streak, having lost in triple-overtime yesterday in Miami, a loss so horrifying that some Jazz fans have purchased the movie rights (or something). Prior to this skid, Utah had quietly won 12 straight games. The fact that its record stands at 41-25 is a testament to the brilliance of its coach, Jerry Sloan, who has had to constantly adjust his lineup this season in order to account for injuries to key rotation players. In 66 games, Utah's been able to start its preferred lineup of Deron Williams, Ronnie Brewer, C.J. Miles, Carlos Boozer, and Mehmet Okur a total of 9 times. That's rough.
"Rough" also describes the Jazz's reputation. They foul at an astonishing rate--26th in the league in free throw rate allowed. Yet Steve Luhm of the Salt Lake Tribune says the reputation is based on prior iterations of Sloan-coached teams, and that this year's squad isn't particularly tough or nasty:
Those days are long gone, however, and this team is not physical or intimidating. In fact, the Jazz's lack of physical toughness is the one thing they lack that other top-tier teams possess.
Against Atlanta, the Jazz got smacked around from the start and did not respond, except for a brief stretch of the third quarter. The Hawks were more physical and, for the most part, Utah offered little resistance.
Kelly Dwyer of Yahoo! Sports says the Jazz's defense isn't too great, either:
Teams can still take it to Utah's defense. The Jazz don't recover all that well, and even though they're at about the middle of the road in terms of three-point defense, they'll toss in more than a few games like tonight, where the Pacers lit it up. On the other end, the Pacers may have actually pulled out the win had they not turned the ball over so much, finishing the night with 22 miscues.
Once again, the Magic need to get the ball to Dwight Howard and see what happens. If the Jazz put him on the line, they put him on the line. Worst case scenario: Dwight misses some free throws, but Okur gets in foul trouble. Okur's one of the centers who can give Dwight trouble defensively, since he's a great three-point shooter (44.8% this season, which is almost as good as Jameer Nelson). Dwight hates to leave the paint. Getting Okur out of the game should be a priority.
The biggest priority has to be closing Utah out, though. Orlando struggled to put Boston away last Sunday, blew a late lead in Detroit on Monday (what else is new?), and had to hang on to beat the Washington freakin' Wizards on Friday. As SLC Dunk, SB Nation's Jazz blog, illustrates, Utah's shown an incredible ability to make late runs in order to win games, usually with 8 minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
Don't forget that the game tips at 6 PM, an hour earlier than usual. And make sure to keep your TV on after the game, because Whit Watson will count down the top 20 moments in Orlando Magic history starting at 9. Go Magic.

Turkoglu
I see you have Turkoglu in the probable starting lineup, any word if he is going to play?
Sounds like he's ready to go:
Hedo Turkoglu said at this morning’s shoot around that after sitting out two games with tendinitis in his left foot, he’s going to give it a go tonight against Utah.
Turk said at Friday’s shoot around before the Magic took on Washington that it felt better, but decided at game time to rest it.
Welcome to 3QC!
This is my end and my new beginning Nostalgia/Alpha and Omega places, it's like a glitch in the matrix/I seen it at all, did it all, most of y'all been pop for a minute/Spitters, sinners and the game get rid of y'all/Y'all got there but y'all didn't get it all, I want my style back/Hate to cease y'all plan it's the rap repo-man - Nas
Magic are 6 point favorites
Wish I could be at the game tonight, but here I am back in the Chicago area. Oh well, I’ll be there in spirit.
That’s good that Turk will be able to play tonight; hopefully Pietrus can come off the bench and play just as well against the Jazz as he did against the Wizards, if Turk starts.
It’ll be interesting to see how much energy the Jazz have after their tough triple overtime loss yesterday.

Honestly, this is a game I don't expect Orlando to win.
If the Magic lose tonight, I won’t be too up in arms.

By the way, isn't Carlos Boozer starting at PF?

Usually pessimistic, I believe the Magic will win tonight.
Like Mike mentioned, Utah in the second day of a back-to-back (granted day/night) against a rested Magic team with Hedo back, I’d give the Magic a slim victory tonight. Gotta limit Deron though as good point guards tend to have field days against us.

I'd like to officially thank the Miami Heat for playing the Jazz to an EXHAUSTING Triple OT game!
The Jazz will SURELY be weary after that difficult loss.
NO EXCUSES for the Magic not to win this one in their house!
YES! I KNEW the 2nd seed was not out of the question!
That is of course IF the Magic take care business tonight.
Also, I still say that IF we do get the 2nd seed, then I think we’ll get to the ECF this year and all things considered that’ll be quite a feat.
Besides once you’re in the ECF you’re only 4 games away from the BIG DANCE!!!
Of course being a Magic fan I am FULLY AWARE that there’s a good chance they might not show up tonight and suffer a humiliating blow-out loss!!! :P
omg the Magic HAVE to take advantage of the Celtics' loss
keep the ball moving (in our hands, though, guys…), keep the energy up, make smart moves, and we can win this game.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease *sobs *

I can see them possibly hanging around
But by the 4th quarter theyre gonna be gassed, already theyre playing atrocious D.
Shaq sucks.
STOP BEING SUCH A DOWNER!!!
I HATE being disappointed as much as anyone else but at least enjoy good play while it’s still happening!
I can be realistic and enjoy how they're playing.
I don’t think saying a five point game at half time is being a “downer.” I mean, it is the Jazz, a pretty good team. If you polled us before the game, I think most of us would have been happy with a five point halftime lead. You can possibly think the final score is going to be 150-70.

YESSS Sweet Lew!
I love the penetration and dump off play!
Funny, I was just thinking today how the Magic NEVER seem to run that play but teams always seem to run it on us.
I definitely think we need to work that play into our offense more often!
OT:
#1s: Pitt, Louisville, Uconn, UNC
Memphis should be pretty heated, however, a case can be made, this is the best conference ever in NCAA history.

Yeah, no qualms there
I mean when you win 60+ straight conference games, obviously theres something wrong there. Theyre nowhere near as good a team as last year to me.
Shaq sucks.
True, but people questioned them last year too due to their schedule + conference
and they wound up a Nick Johnson choke job away from a national championship.

Magic up, 30-20, after the first period. They jumped out to a 15-3 start.
Missed free throws killing the Magic right now. Can’t afford to shoot 38.5% from the stripe for the whole game. Utah can and will take advantage

I've stated many times why I don't like Marcin.
Buttery soft hands, not much of an offensive game outside of dunking (he has no jump shot) mental breakdowns on defense, he’s a big guy, but the majority of backup centers will out-rebound him, gets into quick foul trouble (where if he was a starter it’d be a serious issue)
I’ve never looked at J.J. as having a prominent enough role to judge him on his play, I mean he hardly averaged one quarter played per night until this year.

Joel Przybilla, Dwight Howard, Marcus Camby, and Kevin Love are the only four players who rebound at a better rate than Gortat
He gets muscled around sometimes, but he still finds a way to get that loose ball.
There ya go TGS. I can't get into a "rebounding rate" argument
comparing 4 great or good centers to a backup center who plays half of their minutes, if that, just can’t do it.

Shaq sucks.
well, your parents ARE older! they've have more time, lol
but nursing’s a good “business” to go into—they’re always needed, so once her schooling’s complete, she should be able to find a good job.

AK-47 is WAY too good in NBA 2k9, he gets like 5 blocks and 5 steals a game.

And making the pass at the right time. Just being athletic wont get it done.

Dwight is REALLY STINKING IT UP from the line tonight.
Which is odd because he’d been shooting them so much better as of late.
I fear he won’t make another FT tonight. :(
Looking good for the Magic so far
I was hoping the Magic would be able to take advantage of a tired Jazz team, coming off a triple overtime game yesterday, and so far they are with a double digit lead; hopefully they can sustain it.
Milwaukee beat Boston earlier, so the Magic can come to within a half game of Boston with a win here.

Orlando would avoid facing Detroit in the first round, which is huge.
Assuming the Magic advance to the semifinals, they’d still face Boston (theoretically) but the only difference would be home court advantage, which would be in Orlando’s favor.

Yeah really... I was able to go swimming the last 6 days 'cause it was so warm!

A little too warm, if you ask me
Felt like summer, just without the humidity. I’m sure you’re not complaining though :)

It was 60 today in Chicago
… nice for my 4 mile walk… it’s going to be close to 70 by Tuesday!

Wow, I wish we had cooler temps
Not cold, just cooler than what it is today.

Yeah... wasn't it like 87 in Orlando today?

Something like that
It was pretty hot. At least it wasn’t humid…that’s the worst. We’re due for some rain, but not sure when we’ll get a good chance.

I had the chance to walk 3 and a half times around Lake Eola last Saturday
That’s always beautiful!

No one really knows
He was really angry about something and got two quick technicals.

Was arguing the first call in the game
Guess he wanted a night off, he was complaining the entire first 2 minutes about some call with Hedo, I didnt actually see it, but he got T’d up twice in 5 seconds
Shaq sucks.
Interesting. Well, Magic lucked out tonight in a variety of ways.
- Sloan getting ejected
- D. Will getting nicked up
- fatigue factor for the Jazz
- etc.
