Game 5: Utah Jazz (3) @ Denver Nuggets (1)

This is late... The Megaplex theaters had screens open to watch the games inside the movie theater. I didn't make it. I wonder how it went. Sounds like they are going to do them for the rest of the away games.

^Have you ever been to one of those? I'd like to know what the atmosphere is like at there.

I looked only at the crucial part when the Jazz went from 92-94 to 94-105:
- the Jazz allowed two offensive rebounds/putbacks, both on Millsap's side of the basket but Boozer did not block out on the second one: -4 points
- two missed free throws from Millsap and Williams: -2 points
- Smith hit 3pointer off the screen, Williams missed jumper off the screen: it does happen
- refs making two consecutive mistakes of not calling a foul on Andersen (Millsap) and callinga blocking foul on Williams instead of a charge on Billups: - 2 points
- Williams forcing two penetration, it does happen then and now, he scored a lot

The Jazz fans will be frantic and loaud watching game 7 in Oklahoma vs the Lakers because they want Oklahoma to win. Should be a great game and by the way Denver and their little nuggets get squashed in Utah in game 6.

The start of the 2nd quarter killed us. When Ronnie Price came in for D-Will the offense face planted. Denver gained the momentum back after we had finished the 1st quarter strong. Price is not the player you want attempting long jump shots, i cringe ever time he attempts one.

I was hoping we could build a lead in the 2nd quarter and make Denver start questioning itself in the 2nd half, but it wasn't to be .

Agreed, Price is awful. It seems he always thinks he has to shoot, that being the case, I would much rather see Gaines out there.

God I miss Maynor!

I, too would like to see Sunny-D get some burn. I know Price is kind of "the guy" right now and I love the way he hustles, but he just doesn't have the ball IQ to run our offense like we need. At least Gaines is capable of creating his own shot whereas Price has a sub-par offensive game.

Price is also over-playing his man on defense. He picks up a lot of fouls 30-feet away from the basket. His defense is supposed to be his strength, and if he's hurting the Jazz there then well, I don't see any reason not to give Sundiata a shot.

Maynor hasn't been great in OKC either. But, I do agree that Price was just terrible last night, worse than usual. Our offense came to a screeching halt because of him and Korver not being able to hit a thing.
