1 - It’s a mid-season playoff game:
Seriously, this game means something. I know it is only January and we are barely half way through the season but this game is B-I-G big. At least for the Jazz it is, we need this win like AK needs another free pass. A win tonight goes a long to proving that we are back and ready to play as champions.

3 - Can the Jazz win a road game?
Seriously, can they? The Jazz are 6 - 14 on the road this year and have only prevailed in 1 of their last 11 roadies. (Just saw something that made me feel better about this though - the Nuggies are 7 -10 on the road and the Blazers are 6-11. We are not the only team in this division that sucks on the road.)

4 - Could it be an all powder blue jersey night?
How much do we have pay to see this? Seriously, lets find out and make it happen.
5 - Who is going to play defense?
Both teams are giving up over 100 points per night. The chances of this game being low scoring are as slim as the chance that David Harrison is not doing drugs.
6 - Who’s the better duo – D-will and Booze or Melo and AI?
Booze and D-Will Combined Stats - 42.4 Pts / 13.7 Rebs / 12.0 Ast
Booze and D-Will Combined Stats - 42.4 Pts / 13.7 Rebs / 12.0 Ast
Melo and AI Combined Stats - 52.7 Pts / 9.9 Rebs / 10.4 Ast
8 -Will we see a white out from the Jazz?
This could be a legitimate lineup on the floor for the Jazz. And it would a pretty good one too.
C - Memo Okur
F - Andrei Kirilenko
F - Matt Harpring
G - Kyle Korver
G - Deron Williams (He's mostly white - click here and scroll down to # 8)
