This is a critical matchup if we want Boston to turn their season around. I feel we have an excellent chance to win, provided that we put out the same effort as before the All-Star Break. Our record against Utah has been solid lately, especially here. I am going for a Boston win 100-92. We have to start winning on the road and tonight would be a good time to start doing it.

I'm looking forward to playing games with meaning too Q. Thanks for getting this thread going. I see DW getting a near triple-double and PP being a solid leader. Or, the other way around... lol

This one is definitely a game we can win! I am thinking that League Pass screwed up because there is a game that started at 7 on the same channel that the Celts will come on and they have the Celts game scheduled for 9:30 but it starts at 9 so we may have to miss the first half hour of the game unless it is somehow delayed starting till the other game is over. grrrrrrrr...
