Quick, someone name me 5 players who are playing better than Deron right now?  I'll give you Kobe, LeBron, Wade, and Dwight.  Other than those 4, I can't think of anyone that is playing at a higher level than DWill, he's simply unstoppable.  If you haven't seen the last couple games you really are missing out.  He has that quick crossover jumpshot that is just deadly and, until this afternoon, had a streak of 11 straight games with 10+ assists.  Right now the Jazz are sitting at 4th in the west, although I think technically we should be 5th behind the Rockets since they own the season series so far (and the Rockets are playing the Grizzlies later today and should win).  Either way, the Jazz are playing the best basketball they have all season, overcoming a 19 point deficit against the Nugs, an 8 point 4th quarter deficit to the Raptors tonight, and every other obstacle thrown at them over the last 11 games.  The offense has been humming too, the Jazz have scored 100+ in 15 of the last 18 games.  Not all was good though, Boozer sat out today recovering from a sprained ankle he suffered against Denver.  Which is too bad really because he usually eats Toronto up.  Let's hope he's back to...whatever percent he's been at before the Pacers game on Tuesday.

I think we can all agree that whether it's the Lakers or the Clippers, we'll take ANY road win.  Up next are the Pacers who have been giant killers this season.  They have beaten Boston, LA, Cleveland, and Orlando, something that no other team has done this year.  They'll likely be without their best player though, as Granger has been bothered by a foot injury.  Coach Jim O'Brien says that Tuesday (against the Jazz) is the EARLIEST he could come back.  And, as we all know, coming back from injury too early can really be bad news.  Granger hasn't played in 3 weeks so even if he does play I don't imagine he'd be his usual dominating self.  The Jazz won the first meeting in SLC back on January 12, but had to score120 points to do it.  I'll be at the game so let's hope they make it 12 in a row!
