So Which Win was more impressive?

[Archie Moses]

I wonder how many people actually watched the Miami game. I watched the second half of the Orlando game and I was no where near excited as I was last night. Was tonight's game impressive? Yes. Back to backs don't get any tougher than tonight's. With that said, the Miami game was way more improbable and impressive. To me, it's not even close. Games like the Miami one will happen very, very rarely. Games like tonight's will happen a few times a year.

MIA. They beat them in OT with no DWill & with Millsap, Miles, Price, AK & Fes vs Miami stacked roster.

Jazz played better tonight during the comeback than they did against Miami. Jazz had to make some improbable threes and hope for misses at the end of the game. They rolled past Orlando tonight. That's why I think it's more impressive. Or put in another manner, Jazz outscored Miami by 20 in 24 minutes to win. They outscored Orlando, currently a better team, by 28 in about 15 minutes to win.

I'll agree to disagree. The Miami game is as impressive as they will ever come. Tonight's game was very impressive, but not nearly as impressive as "the Miracle in Miami".

I think both games taken together back-to-back is impressive.

Hurricane (or should I say, Hurricun?) Jazz just swept through Florida and left widespread devastation in its wake. President Obama has just declared Florida a disaster area. FEMA has been mobilized.

I still think it's the Miami win, but it's a lot closer than many would think. Beating a team in a place the Jazz have had fits in on the second night of a back to back that went to OT is damn impressive.

I think this game was more impressive. 1st off I think Orlando is the better team. 2nd off it took a lot of luck to pull out the win vs Miami. In this game they were down 18 points in the 3rd quarter and won by 10 out scoring them by 28 from that point on.

I'll add this. This was by far the best coaching job by Sloan I have seen in a while. Going to the zone and sticking with it was a stroke of genius. It completely changed the way this game was played.

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.

Because I am not impressed with luck as much as just beating down one of the best teams in the league for the final quarter and a half. I can see why you could be more impressed by the Miami win if your just looking for the drama of it. But the play of the team was far more impressive in the Orlando game.

Miami win is more "impressive" given the circumstance... But this win was more important. D-Will absolutely took over. He's had some flashes early this season, but hasn't fully gone into beast mode. He did in the fourth quarter tonight against Orlando. Hopefully we start rolling!!

Go Jazz!

You're an absolute idiot if you chose the Magic game over the Heat.

That is all.

Impressive is such a subjective word.

Miami was certainly an impressive win because of how it ended. However, I think this game was more impressive because it was on the second night of a back-to-back and I fully expected Utah to come out and play exhausted tonight. They didn't. They stayed with the Magic throughout the first half, fell behind in the third and then dominated the fourth quarter. To do that on the road against a team I believe is actually better than Miami is pretty damn impressive in its own right. Not to mention they did this all a night after coming back from 20 on the road and winning in overtime.
