In last 10 yrs, record for most consecutive games holding opponent to 90 pts or less is 9. Jamz at 7

Sap Jr. WILL SHUT HARDEN DOWN...(maybe) I wonder what the record for most consecutive games holding opponents under 100 since the three-point era?

41, set by the 1999-00 Miami Heat and tied by the 2003-04 San Antonio Spurs.

EDIT: This year's Jazz squad is at 15 currently, which is the longest such streak in the league this season.

Well part of it is that we are a really good defensive team and the other part is we play slow as ****. If we can keep a slow pace vs Houston and limit TO's that result in easy buckets, we got a chance.

Gonna be interesting to see what effect Rudy has on him too. If he cannot get to the rim, what does he do? Not expecting great results, just an interesting contest and good experience for Rudy, and Sap jr. They could both foul out in 10 minutes too. Harden is great and gets the calls.

Houston plays pretty slow as well, so it might work.

I want to keep an eye on houstons length.

It might get hard, but it will make for a delightful finish if the Jamz can handle Houston's length.

I would love to see Exum on Harden. Though Millsap or Hayward could work also. It's wonderful to have multiple guys who can potentially guard him.

I don't see a good outing here for Sap Jr. if he gets a lot of time on Harden. Guy is a tenacious defender, but gets out of control with fouls quite frequently. Going against the best guy in the league at drawing fouls will spell trouble.

Additional impressive defensive stats to throw out there...

In the last 12 games:

11 of 12 opponents held below their season average (the ugly Lakers loss the lone outlier)

6 opponents were held 15 or more points below their season average. 5 were against playoff bound teams - Dallas (-18), Portland (-26), San Antonio (-20), Memphis (-17), & Milwaukee (-22)

Over the 12 game span, Jazz allowing 92.3 ppg (1st in the NBA)

I'm sure Harden would love that too.

The current record of 10 games--was that done by the Detroit Pistons in 2004? It seems like that was their thing.

Houston will be one the second-half of a back-to-back. They face Portland tonight, in Portland, late game.

Too bad Matthews isnt around to slap around Harden a bit.
