Tonight's game will be hard-fought by both teams.
I think the Suns have the advantage, since the Jazz can't beat a winning team on the road and are on a 2nd of a back-to-back.
Did I just jinx my own team?
Jazz are 14-20 on the road. They've beat no teams over .500 on the road...Their remaining road games..
@Phoenix
@Portland
@Denver
@New Orleans
@Dallas
@San Antonio
@Lakers
If the current season has any indication...the Suns do have a shot because the Jazz are so horrible on the road.
But man...I still like the Jazz in this game for some reason...I mean they are due to beat some above .500 team on the road...at least you'd think.
That's atleast 5 losses for the Jazz and that's being generous. Would not be shocked if they lost all 7 of those games.
They might beat NOLA though since Deron > Cp3 and the Hornets are too in soft.
Jazz will probably lose to Suns and then obliterate them on Saturday.
Suns will win tonight then lose in Portland tomorrow. Suns will also lose @Utah on saturday and beat Kings on sunday. Mavs beat GS and Denver this week and lose to Cavs on sunday. By sunday night the Suns will be 3.5 GB of the Mavs but behind 4 in the loss column
Mavs 44-29
Suns 41-33
as of 3/29
most realistic scenario, I'd have to agree
me sideways that's a tough road schedule
They "might" go 2-5 w/ some luck
thats why i think if the Mavs take care of their business at home and Utah continues to flop on the road against +.500 teams that the Jazz will fall to the 8th seed and face LA...I'd much rather see a Utah/LA and Dal/SAS series for entertainment value
They "might" go 2-5 w/ some luck
Also, Suns fans might also have hope with a Jazz collapse if they cant win on the road

We must stay strong and support our guys in blue.
Some people will bail on our guys in blue, saying that Dirk's mental softness permeates through the entire organization preventing us from getting over the hump, when in fact we were simply ed by bull whistles and bull shots, but we must not follow their lead.
We must support our guys in blue forever, for they've given us a many smiles, a many cries. Deflation, ecstasy. The emotional rollercoaster is why we love the boys in blue, and why their inconsistencies cause us angst. But never should we turn our back on the boys in blue.
how very poetic of you Ghazi
True, which is why their game tonight might be one of the best games all year...if the Suns lose they can pretty much kiss their remaining playoff hopes goodbye. For the Jazz, this is a team they should and need to beat--if they can't than they might not win another road game this year (playoffs or not). This could be a classic. I see Utah winning 124-119
Let's go Jazz. I'm rooting for you to makes some shots!
Brevin Knight gave us a lot of minutes last night. Which is good for tonight. Anways, we're the better team, but per usual, the result is going to come down to whether or not we show up to play... and I don't think Phoenix has an ounce of influence over that.
Xylus, any blame for tonight's loss falls on you.
Yeah, 13-20 is a dangerous road record.
When the did I call us a dangerous road team, dumbass?
You're the dumbass by thinking Utah is a good team that would be in the playoff picture even if the refs didn't hand them every game in Utah.
I think the high al ude also has something to do with why they're always so good at home, but not on the road. The NBA should not have allowed Salt Lake City and Denver to have NBA franchises--they have an unfair homecourt advantage. Look at the records from this season:
Utah: Home 30-6, Road 14-20
Denver: Home 27-8, Road 18-18

Suns win tonight
Mavs lose tonight
Dude, you're always the biggest ing re on these boards outside of gazi or whatever the his name is. You repeat the same over and over again. The that spews out that asshole of a mouth of yours is a barnsfart away from gradeschool bull !
God dude, I know Mormons aren't allowed to talk like that, I musta really pissed you off.
Well, I think Utah has some other reasons for their homecourt advantage, not the least of which are the rumors of overinflated balls (scroll to Scott Padgett comments), and the fact that the majority of African-American NBA players are intimidated by the white-dominated, LDS confines of EnergySolutions Arena, where most fans' faith barely recognized black individuals until 1978.
No offense to Mormons in Phoenix or Utah (if you're a Dallas, Lakers, or Rockets fan, you can continue to yourselves), and I'm not calling you all racist, but it's a homecourt advantage nonetheless. Oh, that and the crowd is one of the loudest in the league and probably influences the officials (except when Michael Jordan is pushing Bryon Russell).
Every Utah jazz fan is mormon?? Oh god where have I been?? If you recycled your used underwear as much as you recycle these lame lines you'd be a skidsmark away from a world map. Mormons are my homies, but as far as your assness is concerned, I just think your a damn fool!!!
That's a pretty staggering stat.
With their tough remaining schedule, the Jazz are gonna give Suns alot of hope.
Tonight's game is HUGE for the Suns. Win it and I think they have a very good chance of making the Playoffs. Lose and they've nailed the last nail in the coffin.
I think Mavs will be no lower than #7. They want the Spurs, that's gonna be a great matchup.
So wait... you're saying that if the Suns win tonight and continue their momentum to capture the 8th seed, they're going to knock someone else other than Dallas out of the playoffs? Which team?
