I'm surprised Jerry Sloan is allowing this. He's always talking about playing hard to give the fans their money's worth - in every game. So much for that.
remember a few years ago Clippers tanked big time to face the Nuggets in the 1st round, worked out well for them.
No matter what it looks like on tv i HIGHLY doubt they are tanking. They have the opportunity if they win to play 4 games at home where they are 37-4 and 3 games on the road where they are a dismal 17-24. Home court means more to the jazz than to any other team in the league. On top of that houston is responsible for one of their 4 losses this season at home. I think their dysfunction in this game exemplifies their road woes in addition to the spurs turning it up a notch along with the return of manu.
Jazz are embrassed. They get jumped on by the Spurs from start to finish. If the Spurs play with such high energy in the whole game, they are almost unbeatable. A rare high energy game from the Spurs recently.
