Preview: The Jazz travel to Ohio this time to meet up with “King” James and his posse for round two of this thrilling regular season series. If you have a heart condition, or are prone to fainting, you might want to talk to your physician before watching this game!

After only nine days since their last meeting, the Utah Jazz are in hostile territory for game two of their thrilling regular season series against the Cavs. The Jazz came away with a memorable win by just two points, 101-103, the last go around. With 6.8 seconds left in the last game, the Cavs vaunted “man-child” Lebron James, hit a three-pointer to tie things up. So with the game tied up at 101-a-piece, Jazz phenom, Deron Williams went coast-to-coast for the lay-up/ game winning shot. The hype surrounding the game was much lived up to, as both teams played at a fast-and-furious pace, matching each other’s, metaphorical and literal, blow’s for the full four quarters.

King James left the game with his thirteenth triple-double with 32 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists. Meanwhile Deron Williams had 15 points and 12 assists. Carlos Boozer dropped in 23 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, but the highest scorer for the Jazz was second year man Paul Millsap who had a career-high 24 points.

This was by far the best game of this early season. I do advise, however, that if you are prone to fainting, have a heart condition, or are apt at having excessive conversations with the television screen, advise your doctor and tell your family before tuning in.

I know Jones has to injured...............there is no way he should play with a back sprain.

 

[utahboozer]

This is going to be a great game tonight. LJ goes for another triple double. I expect the Cavs to get fired up with the crowd at the Q behind them.

Boozer could have a huge game. DWill should go off for 20 and 12 tonight. But I think Utah's difference maker will have to be AK, again.

Best of luck to your Cavs, gentlemen, and here's to a good game.

Watch out for Ted Danson's amazing hair :chuckles:

Our savior, Eric Snow, is playing tonight. :headbang: :spin:

I feel a 20 point victory...just not sure by who.

Tough break for the Jazz with Hughes out.

Cavs 97 - 91

 

[Karma]

Lineups altered.

This will be a struggle with Larry, Marshall out, Damon struggling with his back, Z isn't 100%, Eric is underdone. This will take a mighty effort from every body out their to eek out a win. We need to find some of that defense from last season.

"Booz, come back" !!!!!!!!!

 

[PIP]

Carlos Boozer has turned himself into arguably a top 10 player in the league...To which I applaud his efforts.

 

[crazedcav333]

He'd have to come back for the number of millions on his Cavs jersey...

 

[osiris]

LOL those Carlos Loozer pics are hilarious. I have no beef with him as a fan and I still root for him, but I can understand 100% why Cleveland fans would boo him.

I have a feeling the Cavs win by two even though they are outmatched and outclassed tonight by a better team.
