WATCHING THE WEST THREAD

[Racer X]

Good night for the Jazz last night as Washington beats the Hornets, and Detroit beats Denver. Detroit is going to be a rough game come Wednesday (hopefully we dont overlook the TWolves tonight though. Jefferson is the kind of player that hurts us often. Kind of like Booze did the year before we got him.)

Important games tonight:
PHX @ MEM
WAS @ HOU
POR @ LAL
SEA @ GSW
and our game ofcourse!

I don't see any of the teams that should win, lose tonight. It would be nice but not likely. I have to admit though, I didn't expect Denver to lose to Milwaukee a few nights back either. Here's to hoping.

It looks like Yao is out for the season, so we can probably scratch Houston of the "contenders" list.

It looks like Yao is out for the season, so we can definitely scratch Houston of the "contenders" list.

I made that little adjustment for you.......

Houston might limp into the playoffs, but we all know McGrady can't carry a team past the first round........

[Duiz]

lolness... Houston's most important player is Yao. lolness.. Even without T-Mac, Yao was powering them to wins.

Well... there comes stupid denver then, I wanted them to miss the playoffs darn it.

This is actually a good thread idea, we should sticky this and talk about non jazz games.

There are only two teams the Jazz need toreally root against and that is Denver and Golden State. Denver obviously because they are division rivals and Golden State because we own the tie-breaker. Now we just need to win some games and get homecourt.

[Racer X]

Ouch for Houston. A 7'6" ouch.

I am calling it though ... Portland beats LA tonight.

PHX sure didn't look very tough against the Pistons...

PHX sure didn't look very tough against the Pistons...

Phoenix was just like the Jazz against the T-Wolves... completely out of sync.

[Livno]

PHX sure didn't look very tough against the Pistons...

wait, they will sign Giricek on Saturday, the missing key for the title!

[Racer X]

Tonights big games are as follows:

PHX @ NO
DEN @ SEA
POR @ LAC
and our game .... duuuuhhh.

PHX NO game might have big implications.

[Racer X]

It weirds me out how good NO gets against everyone else but us. They swept PHX this season. Both times against us they have looked awful.

the Hornets own the Suns, but we own the Hornets!It's all about match ups in the playoffs this year. The Lakers are the toughest match for us because we can't stop Kobe, but then again no one can.We are the deepest team in the West and we are unbeatable at home!There is hope in Jazz town.

[Racer X]

BIG GAME TONIGHT
DALLAS @ SA - big implications here.
Also Miami has the capability to get hot, maybe give a mircale victory vs. Lakers?

Umm, I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

[gojazzmjsucks]

well we can get closer to the three seed tonight. I would like to see us jump out to an early lead so it keeps are heads in the game. We owned them at home lets see what we can do in their house. Go D-Will prove that you own this one on one match up!

[Jazzfan Bayamon]

To be honest... I doubt we win tonight.

[Racer X]

Here are the big games tonight:
OURS IS HUGE
MEM @ HOU
SAC @ DAL
LAC @ DEN
PHI (who has been playing well) @ GSW
LAL @ POR ( I predicted a Blazers vicotry a few nights ago ... lets hope homecourt helps them tonight.)

Seems to be mostly pushover games, but its the NBA. You never know.

[Duiz]

Go Grizzlies, Sac, Clips, and Por!

[Racer X]

The 76ers beat the Suns tonight. Man, the Suns just really are not clicking.
