Can we please lift the Utah Jazz curse tonight? We’ve dropped five straight to them and the last time we won in Utah was November 6th, 2002. To make the task even more daunting, the Jazz at 24-3, haven’t lost at home for going on two months. Maybe that’s why, when polled by SI, NBA players listed EnergySolutions Arena as the most intimidating arena in the league (The Palace was #3). The Jazz are the only team in the league with a winning record that the Pistons have yet to beat.

The Jazz handed the Pistons their first Palace loss on the season back in November when the Deron Williams/Carlos Boozer pick-and-roll express came to town. Williams had 14 assists while Boozer had 36 points converting on an unfathomable 85% of his shots. The Jazz amassed 48 points in the paint, an inexcusable number for a defensive team like Detroit. To the Pistons credit they are a more healthy and complete team since then.
