PREVIOUSLY, THE UTAH JAZZ...beat the Nets 108-92 in New Jersey Wednesday night.
I suspect this will be a tough game for the Hawks. Switching every screen against Utah will leave the Hawks susceptible to back-door cuts. Deron Williams will be a handful with the ball in his hands. The Okur/Boozer post combo will tax Atlanta's interior defenders, not least of which becasue Okur will take one of them away from the interior while Ronnie Brewer, Wesley Matthews, and (possibly) the newly-healthy CJ Miles give Utah defensive depth to deploy against Joe Johnson.
On the other hand, Utah's propensity to foul, foul again, and then foul some more could aid the Hawks who, even though they currently have the league's most efficient offense, don't typically get tot the free throw line very often.
Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
