Utah at Detroit - January 7th, 2006



16-17 ............................ 26-4

Palace of Auburn Hills
7:30 PM EST
TV: WDIV
Radio: WDFN 1130







Jazz Report

The Jazz are sporting a 5 game winning streak going into Friday night's match against Memphis (Memphis smoked em by 22 pts). The are currently 1/2 game out of first place in the Northwest division.
Utah has inserted Collins into the starting lineup and moved Memo to PF until Boozer returns (apprx 2 weeks). They have also demoted Deron Williams to the bench.
The challange will be to keep the Jazz off the offensive glass.
Kililenko is one of tleague leaders in blocked shots (3.18)
Memo is their leading scorer @ 17.9 and rebounder @ 9.10
They typically play a controlled half court game keeping opponents scoring down. They do have difficulty on defense. When Kirilenko goes for blocks it often leaves his man for offensive rebounds.
Memo has a +/- rating of -2.3
However Memo is one of the league leaders in crunch time efficiency


Game Preview

This will be a challange for the bench as the Jazz have key reserves including Devin Brown, Deron Williams, Matt Harpring and Greg Ostertag.
The key to winning will be to keep Kirilenko out around the perimiter on defense as their interior defense is lacking quickness.
The Pistons must stay tight on Okur around the perimiter.
Sloan's strategy is similar to LB or Pop's; make the extra pass for the high % shots.
The Pistons gaurds have a size and skills advantage over the Jazz gaurds. Look for them to break down the defense and create easy opportunities for Ben & co.

Re: Utah at Detroit

95 to 80 Pistons. Unless there is a Memo lovefest, 95, 90. Jazz on a road back to back. Sorry.

Re: Utah at Detroit - January 7th, 2006

They have a back-back comming in from Memphis. Lot easier for the Pistons who stayed home.

Utah crushed us on the boards last time. Pistons have been rebounding a lot better lately and you know they are aware of what happened last game with them.

Pistons 108 Jazz 84

Utah was blown away by Memphis, and so their starters all played light minutes. And you know Sloan was chewing them a new one the whole flight to Detroit. Memo has a big chip on his shoulders, and I don't think anything fazes AK. Could be trouble.

Detroit 95 Utah 91

Okur

I think someone on the Utah athletic training staff should strap Memo down and shave his unibrow. That thing is scary.
