I love the Jazz.....
played great tonight, absolutely great.
Few thoughts: a. They need a bona-fide thug on their team. Someone in the vein of Dale Davis, Eduardo Najera, Kurt Rambis, Bill Lambier. Booz, Fish and Memo all get fouled hard, high on the body,and nobody on their teams steps up and retaliates. I think they need a hired gun to protect the finesse players that dominate the Jazz roster. b. I hope this run, (which most likely will end in the conference finals) is viewed in the proper context. If the Mavs play the Jazz in the second round, I see, and most would agree, the Jazz losing in five to six with little to no chance of winning (same chances most will give if they play the Spurs in the next round). The Jazz are still two players away from being a very good team who, in stretches plays great, to a great team who is built for championship runs. c. Rafa should play in game five and given the license to go after Davis, Harrington and Richardson. d. Willliams in the 2nd half specifically in the final quarter played like a top three point in the NBA. Controlled the game, played great defense and ran the offense flawlessly. |

I agree. Use Araujo to bust some heads. Send the Warriors a message.

Now if he could play play like the Rafa of the MWC the Jazz would have this issue already solved. |

I wouldn't use his MWC play as an example of a decent basketball IQ. Araujo could always be counted on to do something dumb at a critical time in the game.

I could not believe the way the Warriors lost their cool tonight. All three of those fouls were cheap. But then again, that is just playing into what the Jazz want to accomplish. All three of those plays were frustration fouls (even though the shot from Davis wasn't called). Tonight the Jazz essentially bitch-slapped Golden State and told them how they were going to take it. Gotta love it when you can put a team down like that. |

Jarron Collins is a cheap shot artists as is Hafa...but they both suck too much to warrant enough or any time on the court to be worth it.

Not really. He's laid some pretty hard hits and fouls on many guys on the way to the basket over the years.

I apologize for the hopelessly homeric, far-fetched thought from one who can be described at best as a passive basketball fan, but . . .
What if the Jazz actually pull it off? The problem with a team that is supposed to lose in the first round is that reality no longer applies. That's why everybody was so high on Golden State-- they should have lost against the Maveriks, so why should "should lose" be a good enough of a reason? The Jazz arguably should have lost against Houston, who had home court advantage; yet here they are, one game away from the conference finals. What if they pull it off? What if they pull it out of nowhere and win the conference finals? And are then paired against a team from the (dissapointing) east? Woah. [/dreaming].
