4th interview under "May 7th"


i'm really not too upset about the whole thing, just thought it would be good to post up here.

I wasn't upset about it.
Yes the scheduling sucks but I wouldn't blame the loss on it

If anything we should have come out more sharp/warm, but instead we missed every wide open jumper we took.

It would have made sense if we faded as the game went on, which is actually opposite of what happened.

Not an excuse, but come on. Why not have the game on Monday? It even makes sense since game 2 fell on Wed. I'm not saying it screwed the Jazz, but more time to prepare would have helped for sure. I just don't understand that...

Yeah, it was a quick turn around, but the Jazz did it last year too against the Warriors and won game 1.

The Pistons got 1 day of rest as well, as did Boston. They both won.

i don't think that this post or the one before can be compared to what the jazz had to go through. last season, the jazz's first game against golden state was at home. the pistons and the celtics were both at home in their first two games. i don't think people realize how hard it really is to play on the road especially when you don't have adequate time to prepare. at least when you are at home and you suffer a low, you have your home fans to help you through it. personally, a series has not even started until the road team wins a game. i think that every one will be in much higher spirits after we tie the series up at two games a piece after sunday.

It's their own fault for losing a very winnable Game Three in SLC and not completing the series sooner.

Actually T Mobil got scewed by having Barkley and D Wade do their commercials!

Just further evidence of the playoffs being rigged for a Lakers - Boston Finals.
