The Jazz haven't been swept in a playoff series since Golden State beat them 3-0 in the opening round in 1989.

Yeah, I think Game 3 will be a comfortable win for the Jazz.

I think you're on to something Dan. The common denominator in this statistic is HC Jerry Sloan. Nice find on this angle.

this is one of those games that has my head spinning.. either team seems like they have such a good chance at winning this one

Houston's dominated so far but I don't expect them to sweep.

So if Houston does win game 3, do you unload on the Jazz in Game 4?

NEVER

If a team is demoralized, they might give up

Then you would have to expect a sweep, right?

That doesn't mean the Jazz cover the spread...

Home cookin will be good for AK and Okur.

Utah -4.5

Has everyone forgotten this? Just about a week ago the Jazz played at home against a McGrady-less, Ming-less (Battier and Alston played no more than 12 minutes, Motumbo didn't play at all) Rockets team and just barely covered the -7.5 spread: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270418026

How in the world does everyone expect Utah to cover -4.5 with the Rockets going full throttle and full speed ahead?

Short of McGrady and Ming both getting in foul trouble or the refs or Rockets just handing Utah the game... I can't see Utah covering -4.5.
