The Jazz are a very solid, yet struggling team, losing 7 road games in a row. You know they are going to snap out of it soon; let's hope it's not tonight.
Magic need a win to avoid falling to an embarrassing sub-.500 record at home. Being optimistic, I'm predicting a 7 pt Magic win tonight to keep UT in their slump.

Big Game at home against a good western conference team that has been struggling as of late on the road. Im looking for just a couple of things tonight but the most important is probably the attitude of a team that should want to win at home!!! coming off a very needed road win, we have to come in tonight and show the home crowd why they show up to AMWAY on game nights. Once again i wanna see something from lewis and definetly something jnelson and most of all i wanna see a win at home dammit!!!!
