    Nuggets -3.5 against the Jazz?

    Why is this line so low. Jazz never play as well away from that sick home court advantage they have. Why people so low on Nuggets? Sure the Melo thing is a distraction but he is there for now and they will be the same Nuggets we all know. One of the deeper teams in the league. Lawson and Smith = energy off the bench is a spark squad. Al Harrington is a good fit for this team. Jazz are a small team, losing Boozer hurts. Jefferson is a good pick up but I don't think this team will be as strong as last year.

    Nuggets just arent that good anymore. Way overrated and a thing of the past. They might win easily or not but this is a fair line.

    NO. Sloan is a great coach and finds ways to compete no matter who he has. Harrington is an upgade on Boozer.

    True, but I don't think Jefferson is an upgrade over Boozer. I think Boozer fit the Jazz much better. Yea Jazz killed Nuggets last year in playoffs BUT Denver went 2-1 at home in the series and in the games the Jazz won Boozer putt up 22/20, 31/13, 18/8, and 20/15. That is an average of 22.7 points and 14 boards per game.

    Nuggets are shorthanded in the frontcourt. Jefferson, Milsap, Kirelenko, etc. Will abuse them.

    But Denver can put up points, so I'll probably take their team total.

    A Jazz fan calling Williams a decent guard? I never thought I would see that one. D. WIll is the best PG in the league. Jefferson is a huge upgrade over Boozer. I like the Jazz a lot this year. I think they will finish top 3 in the West.

    Boozer is a solid player but I will take Jefferson over him any day. Boozer and Milsap are both undersized for their positions so the Jazz could not really play them at the same time effectively. They will be able to play Jefferson and Milsap at the same time.

    With Birdman and Kenyon out the Jazz would look like the better play.

    BUT Denver has always been pretty good at home. Its gonna be close Vegas looks to be on
