This is a second night of a back to back in Utah, which means it's going to be a tough game. In the last meeting between the two teams, the Raptors prevailed with a Wictory!

Pubic enemy #1

As I recall, Jonas had a great game against Kanter when we played the Jazz at home. I expect to see more of Hansbrough given the back-to-back and A. Johnson's physical ailments (in the plural). But he has not scored in six games, going back to before the shoulder injury, so that needs to change if he is going to see the court on a consistent basis. As I said in last night's thread, he has to move better without the ball and continue to look for the ball or it will literally pass him by.

Ross needs to continue stepping it up in all areas. Who on the Jazz can stop him or Lou Williams if either one gets hot?

I am hopeful the real Raptors defence will show up tonight, not the disorganized system we have seen the last five games.

Utah aren't a joke though despite their record.

Tough to beat at home.

Very talented young group.

Raps better not be thinking about getting home to the Cavs on Friday.

[mcHAPPY]

Oh and Utah sitting at home, rested and waiting as Raps are on road with back to back and Utah had last night off.

[Mack North]

Very nervous about this one, but at least Raps took last nights game.

Lowry played 37 minutes and the other starters 30-33 so I do not expect tiredness to be much of an issue if Lowry gets adequate rest during the game. Better not to let him play nearly all the first half as he did last night.

Utah has also lost 4 in a row at home, so, whatever that means

VS a resurgent Nuggets, Clippers, BULLS, and Hornets teams.

They lost 2 of those games by 2 points.

Again, hope Raps don't take them lightly.

Young and talented and hvae already lost once to Raps this year.

I think we're gonna dummy them. Tend to play well on the second night of a back to back.

Ross needs to show up this game like he did last night. Hands-bro needs to shut down both Favours and T-Booker off the bench.

If Raptors need TH to shut down anyone they're in trouble. Really like Casey keeping Amir and/or JV late for rim protection. JV 7 ft fat ass altered shots in the fourth. Also rebounding isn't putrid just rank
