4/11/09 Game Thread Golden State @ Utah -- I think Utah will take this one since they are at home and have been slumping lately, they are due for a win. They don't want to fall to the 8th seed, but we want them to. Go Warriors! Portland @ Los Angeles (Clippers) -- I think Portland will most likely take this, but I'm hoping for an upset so they can move further away from us. It really doesn't matter though unless the Lakers lose to them. Go Clippers!
I pray Warriors can pull out a win. If they hit 3's like they did in the last 2 minutes today Jazz can't do anything. I'm crazy enough.
This is the equivalent of a playoff game for the Jazz. They will clobber the sorry Warriors. If such a thing is possible with the Clippers, tomorrow's contest could be a "trap" game for the Blazers if they can't get the Lakers win out of their system. Even if they end up winning, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Blazers fall way behind in the 1st half.
yeah the warriors will be suiting up only 8 players and the game is at Utah. There is about a 2% chance the jazz lose.
Nothing to see here. Move along. The Jazz will demolish a short-handed Warriors team. Utah gets a ton of calls at home, and it's not like the Warriors have many to give up. I guess we'll see what happens if the 3 players foul out. This is what the rule book says. The Blazers will not let up. This is a hot team and they will annihilate the Clippers. They are too close to home court to blow it on the Clippers, especially after their last 2 clutch victories.
I could see the Blazers getting lackadaisical. This is road game, back-to-back, after two big wins against Spurs and Lakers. This is still a young team. They could definitely overlook this game. Yes I do realize the clippers are horrible and shorthanded, but they gave the Lakers a game for 3.5 quarters, before the Lakers woke up
Easy win for the Jazz. The warriors only have 7 players. The Clippers have a chance to beat the Blazers. Z-Bo is back from suspension and he may want to kick the Blazers behind.
btw, Z-Bo scored 38 pts in his 1st game vs Blazers as a Clipper. And he didn't play in the 2 loses vs Blazers. Let's see if there is Z-Bo magic tonite.
What I meant to say there was that I wanted the Jazz to stay the 8th seed. They aren't the 8th seed for sure yet, right now wherever anyone in 6,7, or 8 is doesn't really matter. It's going to shift around a bit with a few games remaining and all the tie-breaker stuff and etc.
lol I'm watching the Bulls pre-game and this guy said Rafer is one of the worst shooters in the league. He knows his stuff.
After the 1st quarter, the T-Wolves are down 31-8 at home against Phoenix. Utah must be asking itself how they blew a home game against them last week.
