Can the Jazz stop the Golden State Warriors winning streak?

I'm really hoping for a breakout game tonight. This team has played a couple of tight games and fallen short - otherwise their record is much better than just over .500. They seem to play up or down to their competition.

IF they want to make the playoffs this year, this would be a huge springboard game. The first team to beat the Warriors are going to get a LOT of positive media attention. Think that would do wonders for their confidence.

Don't forget that this team lost 19 games before they got their 8th win last year. If they manage to beat the Warriors, they're at 9-7 and 5th/6th seed in the west.

They have also won some tight games. @ Hawks and v. Raptors specifically. Jazz are 5-5 on the road and 5-5 against teams with winning records. The record will reflect that when the Jazz start playing teams like the Kings, Laker, Nets...
 
I don't get to many games, but I saw the Warriors play the Jazz early in the season two years ago. It was clear to me that Rudy was going to be a player, same with this guy named Draymond. Rudy and draymond got a little chippy with each other. Rudy and Bogut also got a little chippy. I can't wait to see them tonight.

Locke said the magic formula is offensive rebounds for the Jazz, and late shot clocks for the warriors.

Warriors are accustomed to getting out and running and shooting early in the shot clock, but they are a below average defensive rebounding team. If the Jazz can get offensive rebounds and score, it will force the Warriors to slow down and keep more players back to rebound, it could alter the rhythm of the Warriors offense.

Well Locke is an idiot then. Even if they are a below average defensive rebound team as he claims, offensive rebounds are still hard to come by.

Offensive rebounds and late shot clocks don't go hand. In the Warriors case, they are essentially mutually exclusive. If we go for offensive rebounds when we don't get one, which will be often just by the nature of the game, they will murder us on the fast break. If we don't go for offensive rebounds as much we can slow down their fast break game.

If Snyder does go with an offensive rebound plan, he better just make Favors be the one to go after them hard, since we'll need Gobert hustling back to defend the rim on the counter attack. That is how GSW essentially gets their wins.
 
I've got a couple of friends turned into Jazz fans in Spain that are waking up early to watch this game. I tell you guys, everybody's starting to pay attention to the Warriors win streak, wondering when will it end.

I could be wrong, but i think we could end up as high as 4th if everything goes our way tonight. I'll have to check again.

I assume you're wondering which quarter they will just give up and surrender, because everyone already knows that the GS streak is ending tonight.

FWIW, I would be surprised if GS doesn't make it all the way through the game before admitting defeat, even though their tank a couple of years ago clearly resulted in a losing culture that has pervaded the entire organization (exactly as predicted on this very message board).
