    Utah isn't playing run-and-gun... how are they winning?

    With defense and rebounding? Gasp!

    Man, that should be Houston spanking GS.......
    Don't forget penetration.........and a nice offensive game plan.

    Oh well.......at least JVG will be gone.

    we need someone with Championship experience and heart.

    But most importantly defense... considering what Golden State has done to them all series.

    And Adelman's teams don't play defense.

    GS free throw 19/32 , that pretty much costs their playoff.

    Utah is averaging 116 points a game this series.

    Houston scored 67 points in a playoff game..

    what's the difference between Yao and Okur? granted I dont want Yao jacking up 3s, but Yao needs to show his repetoire, let him go outside, inside, mid range, pass.

    Is a flagrant 2 an automatic suspension? Richardson might have cost the Warriors any chance of coming back if he can't play in game five...

    Last time Jessica Alba was at the game Golden State barely won as well.

    women are just bad luck for sports.

    The one from 17 years ago? Okay... but Chuck Daly coached circles around him preaching defense.

    No class, JR...just let that one go and don't be a sore loser.

    Anyways, the series has gone as predicted so far. I new Utah would easily dispose of the Warriors for two very simple reasons:

    1) They're physical and they won't let themselves get pushed around or be the mental midgets the Mavericks have proven to be; and

    2) They're one of the top three 'execution' teams in the league, which has pretty much always been the case with Jerry Sloan teams (I honestly don't know how he does it, but having great PGs has to make it easier, I am thinking). Jazz, Spurs, Detroit and the Suns are the top 'execution' teams in the league, they're aren't easily rattled on the road and are always a tough out.

    I hate to say it, but much like Barkley said the other night, "the more I watch this Utah team, the more I like them." Of course, CB might actually like the Jazz, but I only like the way they play/execute and give them credit for doing so, although I still hate that organization as a whole and nothing will ever change that.

    Anyways, what was my pick? Jazz in 5 or 6 I think it was. It's looking good now.

    The Jazz/Spurs series will be great. I predict it will be a throwback to the mid-90s style of physical basketball. Both teams have talent (Jazz with a slight edge there, to be fair), and both teams are very strong at PF and PG positions.

    This should be fun stuff, boys...

    Blame it specifically on missed FTs and on JRich all you want, but I think Utah has the series in the bag now. The Warriors are tired of guarding Boozer and they can't win unless BD goes ballistic. The beat down in the 4th quarter was ugly. The choke job in game 2 bites the Warriors.

    Derek Fisher is a great guy. He almost makes me want to root for the Jazz, who have a legit shot at making the Finals if the Suns beat the Spurs.

    JVG is Yao's coach. Actually I'm not a JVG hater, but I figured I'd beat the 'fire JVG' crowd to the punchline.

    I don't think it's over yet, I think GS take's the next game.
