We have nearly identical records, but I can assure you that we both feel we should be much better than what the records indicate.
Can we finally win 2 games in a row?
We get to watch the human Swiss Army knife, Andrei Kirilenko, perform his many skills for us. He may be tasked to guard Pierce tonight, and though he's a twig, he averages over 3 blocks per game.
Mehmet Okur is averaging nearly 18 and 9, so Perkins will be put to the test. Hopefully Dioc will give him more than 15 minutes to demonstrate what he can do. The Jazz are on of the better rebounding teams in the league, so this puts an even greater emphasis to play Perkins more minutes.
We'll see if Delonte's head has cleared up. If not, Banks will get to go up against rookie sensation, Deron Williams.
I feel that this is our best opportunity to get our first back to back win of the season. We played well against the Warriors and the Jazz are similar to them.

I like to see if Banks can keep going putting good numbers ever sense he came back from his injuries.
Davis needs to step up in this league and expose Jazz's lack of SG depth.
Hopefully Perk can put up a good rebounding game so the jazz doesn't abuse us on the offensive boards.

We need to win this game and get 2 games in a row and get that off our backs. We have a good chance... AK47 isn't playing and Utah played last night and we were off. Delonte is starting so we should get boost off the bench when Marcus comes in. We need to control the tempo and to control the boards along with playing defense. If we play our game, we should win it.

Delonte, Ricky, Perk PP and Blount are starting. Jazz win the tip and Harpring hits a jumper to give the Jazz a 2-0 lead. PP missed his first jumper and Perk gets the rebound and is fouled on the put back attempt. He makes the first but the second rolls around and off and the jazz rebound. Delonte blocks a Williams shot and takes the ball the length of the court and jams it home.
