    Well i been noticing this with the teams that play in Utah and i decided
    to look it up and i might be wrong, but i feel that the good teams that play in utah are usually coming off a back to back while utah is having a day off before the game...

    It hit me when i saw the two times New Orleans play in utah, they always had the lakers the day before...the result was Utah winning big....

    Same thing happened for the rockets when they played them the other day,
    as well as it happened to Dallas twice, the Lakers and Cleveland (won won)...

    Granted their home record is 27-6, which is right there with the
    rockets (25-6)
    but i think they are beatable at home and the rockets need to show they can beat them later this month when they play again...thats a statement game for us...

    Don't the Rockets frequently benefit from teams playing in either Dallas, San Antonio, or New Orleans the night before? I'm not sure that this is much of an advantage relative to what other teams get.

    Jazz dont have 1 sunday home game. They cant because their owner (rest in peace) b****es about how the season ticket holders wont show up for sunday games. That forces the scheduler to compact most of their home games into 5 days because teams rarely play on thursday.

    Yeah i wanted to shove my shoe in his mouth and tell him to shut the F up and his team should play the game right and stop with the sissy ass flopping, peice of **** jazz. Only way they can win is by flopping and getting an unfiar advantage from the refs in their home court,...with all that they still barely beat us.

    Your observation about a lot of back to backs ending up on Utah's home court is correct per this blog from the Salt Lake Tribune. This is a scheduling anomaly for _this_ year, however, and not something that usually happens to the Jazz.

    Next year some other franchise will likely experience this favorable event.

    haha well atleast that guy noticed it too
    So they have only beaten one team on the road with a winning record

    This team can only win at home, but yet, they always give the rocket fits when it comes to the playoffs...but Sloan is the reason why...he makes good adjustments

    Jazz may have a favorable home schedule. But their overall remaing schedule is among the hardest in WC and on par with the Rockets and Mavs (according to Holinger's SOS).

    The Nuggets have the easiest schedule.
