Here is a little bit of Jazz history and why Utah will come out victorious tonight in game 6. The Jazz have had 23 Playoff appearances including 8 division titles and 2 conference championship. The Jazz also have a 834-333 home record in the last 29 seasons overall. The Jazz are 8-1-1(against the spread) in their last 10 playoff games as a favorite, which we are tonight. We are 24-5-2 in the last 31 games as a home favorite. 8-2 in their last 10 games following a loss of more than 10 points, and 4-1 in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. Jazz are favored by 6 and I couldn't agree more. With all of these stats we still MUST show up ready for a battle. Melo will be ready to try for 50 tonight and Chauncey will be ready to be Mr Big Shot as well, but who we really need to put a body on and rough up so he doesn't get hot is J.R. Smith. He has been a Jazz Killer, especially behind the arc.
With the way we have been playing on the offensive side of the ball I don't see any real issues there. Deron will be ready to prove he's an All Star as always and be sure to key in all of his teammates for a well rounded offensive threat.
The biggest key to closing out this series is Defense and the Sixth Man. If we can D up the Sixth Man will take care of itself. I predict the Jazz to finish up this series tonight winning by 8 and then the real challenge begins with matchup nightmares in round 2 with both L.A. and Oklahoma City.

i'm calling a big game from fez!
If JR Smith goes for 15 points or more the Jazz will not win! I like our chances... the Jazz were in the last game up until there was 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Plus the Nuggets shot 53% from downtown (Smith was 4 of 5).... Odd has it they will not be able to repeat that performance.
