Game 79: Oklahoma City Thunder (56-21) @ Utah Jazz (41-37)

[Inigo Montoya]

excellent execution out of a timeout, as usual.

Tyrone Corbin: master of the timeout.

Clutch play from Millsap on the inbounds pass. That's why you gotta have him in in the clutch.

So now with 5 seconds left Mo decides not to chuck up a 3? He only takes I'll advised shots when it matters?

[Blackie]

I give the Jazz credit for fighting back in the end, but too little, too late. I give the Lakers the edge because we have too rough road games. The lakers are playing good basketball and SA will probably not play their starters in the last game against the Lakers. Advantage LA.

[Inigo Montoya]

jazz played good defense overall. 90 points for OKC is a good number. problem is our offense sucked a big one. way too many long range shots, and too many unforced and uncalled for long range shots (thanks for that mo). OKC's defense definitely deserves credit as well, but our offensive execution was just bad.

[StocktonShorts]

Jazz actually missed Marvin tonight, I thought.

Well a win from Lakers tonight will really be a nut punch.....but it also sucks cause Houston already won and Golden State is about to seal their position with a win tonight...

All we had to do was win 4 more games, and we lose to a team we know we can beat. The GSW was NOT a great playing game, that was something we should have been doing since day 1....

Honestly I just feel too pathetic to be considered a playoff team. What kind of playoff team CANNOT win its road games, especailly against teams who are playoff teams. We had the potential to be a great team like Denver but we blew so many games that would have put us up with GSW!

[Inigo Montoya]

OMG, you guys should go to NBA.com and check out the last play of the rockets-suns game. i am speechless.

[RyanStorm]

Damn Phoenix shot themselves in their own foot

[RyanStorm]

Looks like Lakers are about to win.....Man I hate them....Almost as much as I hate Bulls.

I checked and over the past 10 years only Spurs and Lakers have knocked us out of the playoffs. I want to take them out of playoffs which is worst than what they did.

[Inigo Montoya]

damn, the lakers won. the hornets kept it close, but kicked the bucket so many times in the 4th. especially eric gordon with his turnovers. damn it.

[RyanStorm]

When will Jazz remove the curse.....why can't we just be a good franchise. I don't think many clubs go through this...Yeah a lot have never been good and they know it. But its much worst to know your good but just never do what is necessary to win.

Its like being as good as Tiger Woods at golf, but you just show up drunk to tournaments and end up in 9th place.
