Back to back, we're @ Utah.
Now, Utah are not a good team overall. They're 4-11, have lost 4 in a row, and that includes a loss to the Blazers. But they do have some good players on their roster and you can never underestimate anyone in this league; the Pels have a long history of losing games they 'should' have won because they played down to the level of the competition. The challenge tonight is to keep the intensity of the last 6 games alive.
As of the time of me writing this, we don't have confirmation yet on whether Zion is sitting out, but it's reasonable to expect he will given the way they're strategising so far this season. That said, even without Zion, I think we have a real advantage tonight - it will just be a matter of pressing that advantage. On the off-chance that Zion does play, there really shouldn't be any debate as long as the effort is consistent.
Looking forward to seeing if the Pels keep the momentum up. Process > Results, but the results have been nice recently.
