Single digits? Damn!

Eventually the Spurs just gave up, decided to pile on the self pity. The psychological ramifications of scoring in the 60's is far worse than in the 70's even if the margin is greater. Lets just hope they don't go off punch some sides of beef and gain the eye of the tiger.

Its amazing what happens when our guys play defense. Boozer was great on Duncan tonight, as was Memo! If we can play that kind of defense in the Playoffs, we will be unstoppable!

Stephen A Smith, what an absolute fool. So he predicts that because Duncan is so efficient in the first half that he will dominate when he will step it up in the second. Dude doesn't even want to make comments after the game other than to say Chrissy is BEST PG in the league. What a fool, can't even admit that the jazz did well. I hope the standings remain and Deron gets to destroy Chrissy in the second round just to enjoy seeing Stephen A Smith shut up.

I will be honest the biggest game of the year will be in SA...if we can get that monkey off our back it will be huge.

Paul is a good player, and a formidable foe. It would be a nice achievement for Deron to outplay him.

I think it was obviously my game thread that led us to a win.

We showed again tonight what kind of defense we are capable of playing when the desire is there. Boozer was terrific again at the "other" end, and Memo was excellent as well.

Its amazing to me that we not only won, but blew out, a team like SA on a night when our shots were not falling.

This is the type of game that just makes it impossible to shake the little voice in your head whispering "maybe we can make a run at the whole thing...." The Jazz are built to win big games, and especially playoff type games. You really have to like our chances, even with the indefensible let downs we've seen during the year.

That 3pt bomb has really revived our team. Of course our defense was terrific tonight, other than some difficulty containing Parker, I'd take that defense over 3pt bombs any night, but, give the Jazz both, and yeah, we're VERY formidable.

I've got a feeling that the Jazz will win at least five of the last six games. GO JAZZ!

I'm hoping for 2 of the next 5.

That was sweet.

That was a Playoff-like test and we passed.

Lets see how the next 5 tests go.

I expect at least 3 wins out of the next 5...but I could see us getting 4 wins.

I see a big exciting road win, a la Boston, but I could also see a real stinker 60 something point game in there too.

I'm going to call it right now. We will win @ NO on Tuesday.

I am gonna say we lose. I only say this because of superstition. Oh ****! I jinxed my superstition by acknowledging it! I must go lick a leprechaun or something.

We need to finish off strong with sky high confidence. I'm hoping we either face the Spurs and/or Lakers in the first two rounds, or never at all. I don't want to wait for our moment of truth.
