Thanks man!

Not looking to good now. FT's are killing them. And of course, live by the 3, die by the 3....

Last night...the 3's weren't falling.

Going to take a miracle now. If Utah keeps pounding it down low, they should win Game 5.

Yeah, Barkley was right on at halftime. They don't have anyone to stop Boozer. It's going to take a 3 barrage like in game 3 for them to win.

If Nowitzki had gone down low and posted up, I think Dallas might have won, but for some reason he stayed outside.

I also think it's interesting how for the most part Dallas and Utah have played at GS's tempo. Utah normally isn't a running team but for some reason teams get suckered in. I think it would be interesting to see like a Spurs-Warriors matchup to see how that played out.

So we're on the way to the much anticipated Pistons-Jazz Finals :lol:

It's a dig at Larry Holmes, who's been flappin his gums all season saying the Bulls are a college team. Trust me, I don't get it either.

I think he lives in California....that may explain the need the dye his hair like that.

You'd think somebody would tell him how horrible he looks whether it be his wife, or the TNT makeup crew.

So BD, you see any kind of shocker in the Warriors-Jazz tonight or you think it'll be closed out?

I actually think something only the Warriors could do might happen, like they win tonight and then lose Game 6 at home

It's really hard to say. Game 1, and especially Game 2 where GS blew a 5 point lead with 17 seconds to go, could have gone to GS.

What concerns me is Stephen Jackson talking about GS being worn down in the 2nd half of Game 4. Is the playoff grind catching up to this team ? Is Utah wearing them down ? Was it just one game where the energy wasn't there (hard to imagine playing with that crowd backing them) ?

IF Utah sticks to getting Carlos Boozer lots of touches, and Deron Williams stays out of foul trouble, I think Utah closes this out tonight.

The wildcard will be GS's 3 point shooting. They didn't shoot well in Game 4. If they can't get % back into the low 40's, then this game is coming down to the last few minutes of the game, where GS has not performed well in Utah so far in this series.

I can also see Utah playing GS even more physical. GS hasn't shot well from the FT line....

So, I'm kind of thinking Utah wins tonight, but if GS starts hitting again from 3 land, they can make this interesting. I wouldn't count them out as Game 4 was the only game in this series where I thought Utah clearly out performed them from start to finish.

We'll see what kind of energy they bring early on tonight....

Should be a fun game!

The better team didn't win this series(I know it's not over yet). The Warriors should have won the first 2 games(especially game 2). Looks like Jerry knows how to make good guards great.



Yeah, I'm surprised at how good Williams has looked (granted I didn't see much of the Rockets series)

But FT's was one of their achilles heels all year, and it finally came back to bite them in game 2, and really in game 4. They were extremely lucky that people like Biedrins who is one of the worst shooters in the league was actually hitting them, then Pietrus who is normally pretty good folded.

When you don't hit free throws late or when you step out of bounds, it could burn you. I know what you're saying - they SHOULD have won that game, but they did everything possible to lose it, and they did.

What??? Your Mavericks?? After your professed love for Utah last Saturday? What was that, just a (mutual) dislike of Houston/T-Mac that had you rooting for Utah, or as I guess now, more of a Utah love that has now gone astray???

Utah is still Disney World without the rides...

Looks like the ride is finally over.... :(

Once again, they were right in it but I could sense things were falling apart. I just hope in the offseason they address some of the their needs, like maybe some bench players they have confidence in, and maybe at least one player who can score and defend inside with some consistancy. I actually thought at one point they should have put in Adonal Foyle, they were just murdered on the boards. It would have been playing 5 on 4, but their small lineup just didn't work last night. Stephen Jackson, who was lights out in that closeout game against Dallas really played awful last night, and for most of this series. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted

Ha! It was more of a dislike for T Mac than a Utah love, although I do like the Jazz (Carlos Boozer is sick). Dallas has been my second favorite team behind the Bullz since 2000 though, so my heart has been crushed two years in a row.

I knew they were in trouble in the 2nd quarter when Baron Davis started walking the ball up the floor. This team was out of energy.

For next season, they need more depth. Nelson loves playing those wing players/guards (Ellis, Davis, Richardson, Jackson, Barnes and Pietrus), but they need another one who can play 25-30 minutes a game. Also could use another big man who can run the floor. Maybe it's their 1st rounder from this year - they don't need him to play big minutes, but just give Biedris/Harrington rest.

They also need to get Stephen Jackson into some anger management class. He can't keep going nuts everytime a foul is called. They just fell apart when those calls were going against them last night.

Overall, next season's record will probably depend on Baron Davis staying healthy. We have to assume he'll miss about 20 games, but Monta Ellis played great during the regular season, so this team can probably get around 50 wins.

Going to be fun to watch!

I think if it is indeed Jazz-Spurs there are going to be some real intriguing matchups. Boozer-Duncan, Ginobili-Kirilenko, Williams-Parker. I think they match up real well to each other. I can't say I would be that excited about the prospect of the Jazz in the Finals, but the conf. finals should be great. I think those suspensions pretty much are going to cost the Suns the series. Very sad and unfortunate. If the Spurs advance the Jazz should send their 12th man out to take out Horry. What an ass.

I'm a big Jazz fan in that series. I respect the Spurs, they are a great team, but I'm ready for some fresh blood.
