So Which Win was more impressive?

[David Stern]

Last night at Miami? Or tonight in Orlando?

Miami game we obviously had Millsap going for 46, including 11 in the last 27 of the 4th quarter. Deron also fouled out, so we had to play OT with Ronnie Price who stepped up big time. Showed a LOT of guts

Orlando tonight we had every reason in the world to fold, but we stayed tough and came back to win. The 24-2 win was HUGE, probably one of the biggest on the road in recent memory. Also, we were playing on the fumes of the emotional rollercoaster of the Miami game. Deron catching fire late in the 3rd and Big Al dominating Howard also helped.

So which is the bigger/more impressive win to you?

I'd say the Heat win was more impressive.

But I don't want to take anything away from tonight; this game was equally incredible.

The best back to back ever.

Beating LeBron and his team of lackeys was more satisfying, plus the whole game of free-throw attrition paying off is something you almost never see in the NBA.

Both wins were awesome though. We might not have wins that are this satisfying for the rest of the regular season, so bask in their glory while you still can.

Good question. No doubt last night was more exciting and had several comebacks. Down from 22 and then down from 8 in the last 1:30 and come from behind in the O/T.

But tonight was impressive. Jazz were tired, physically and emotionally. They could have folded and been content with a split. Once that lead went from 18 down to 9 in the closing minutes of the 3rd, I think it put some fire back in the team. Deron certainly turned it on after having a terribel 1st half.

I'd still have to vote for Miami, but tonight was pretty sweet.

I did; because i'm more impressed by our team still being hungry to come back again after all the pub they got from the comeback last night. That is something we haven't seen from the Jazz in recent years. So because of the mental toughness it took tonight, i'm more impressed by it.

Miami.

You see comebacks like that only once a decade. 8 points down with 37 seconds left? I can only think of when Reggie owned the Knicks...

Heat game was kind of fluky with 11 in 30. This was more of a beatdown in the last 15 minutes.

I do agree with an earlier post, though, that the Miami win is more satisfying. I think the Orlando win was better and slightly more impressive.

How people are more impressed by this win boggles my mind. We were down 8, with 30 seconds when Millsap shot, and we came back to win. How can any game be more impressive than that? Wow, 24 hours later people are already forgetting about one of the most impressive games in the history of the Jazz and the NBA.

I'm of the opinion that the Heat are too overhyped. Take that and the fact that the Orlando game was on the 2nd night of a back-to-back AND we came down from that awful deficit and my vote is with the Orlando game.

They're both equally impressive. Miami win was more gratifying though, to shut up all of the Heat hype, at least for a game. Seeing Millsap become a star overnight is pretty damn cool.

As just a single game, gotta go with Miami.
BUT, factoring in the fact we had just beaten Miami in a dramatic overtime game the night before, then rallying in the 4th quarter (when we shoulda been folding up our tents) to beat Orlando by 10 going away; Wow... This team is flat driven...
