We'll take that 76ERS victory over Phoenix the other night and turn it into a winner tonight. Yes, UTAH has lost 7 out of their last 10, and yes they are shorthanded, and yes the SIXERS acquired a better point point guard in Ish Smith while hiring Mike D'Antoni to be their associate head coach. Yes to all of that, but they will lose big tonight in UTAH. When a team as bad as the 76ERS beats the the Phoenix Suns at home, expect the 76ERS next opponent- the JAZZ, in this instance- to play with more attention and effort than usual. The JAZZ will turn up the defensive intensity and cruise to an easy victory over the Okafor-less 76ERS in Utah tonight. ***UTAH 105 - 76ERS 80***
