Yes Utah! You have redeemed yourselves last night with a shutout home win over Houston. I hope the Jazz can continue to do well in the playoffs against the LA Lakers. Jazz, go to Staples Center and make a huge statement in the entire NBA playoffs. I also hope Atlanta can beat the Celtics in Game 7, it would make a crucial difference in the playoffs.

UTAH JAZZ, UTAH JAZZ, UTAH JAZZ!!!

Go Jazz! Great win tonight! Bring on the Lakers. I think if they Jazz can play like they did tonight against the Lakers they will have a great shot. Deron Williams was out of control!

What did I tell some of you doubting Thomases last night? I told you that I called the two losses for the Jazz and I also told you that the Jazz would the fourth game tonight and they did! I get a gut feeling for wins and losses. sometimes it scares me , and thats no Bull.I have no feeling one way or the other about the Jazz and Lakers game sunday. if I do I will enter it on the Blog. I do think the Jazz has a slight edge for the first game. just slight tho. nothing certain at this point.

i'll bet Tracy M rues the interview he had at the half, when ask why he wanted to win so bad. his answer: "I hate the Jazz fans... they have every one believing that they can't lose at home, and thats my reason...may not have been his exact words, but close to it. he owes the Fans an apology. it was so un-professional!

SO-CAL Jazz Fan

Good riddance to T-MAC!! There was actually a part of me that felt sorry for him and their team not getting past the first round in the past earlier on. But then in the middle of the game it showed a segment of T-MAC being asked why he thought they had had some sucess beating the Jazz in Utah and he was bold enough to say something to the affect that it's because their team hates the fans here and it gives them motivation. Therefore, when the Jazz made that big run in the third quarter to restore order, I was really loving that part all by itself, but shutting T-MAC down with no points was icing on the cake!! Enjoy another long offseason Houston! Now it's time to take out some more garbage by the name of Kobe Bryant!! GO JAZZ!!! BEAT LA!!! BEAT LA!!! BEAT LA!!!

Tonight it was Team Jazz that we love played Jazz ball. Great victory despite a wounded Rox. Sorry we don't get a little more prep time for the Fakers. Kobe is a great BB player but no class. When he starts improving his conduct on the floor instead of acting like a circus act running around showing off his fakers jersey, he'll gain my respect. MJ has set the standard for a class act. Kobe is not close. Once again D Fish is the glue that holds the fakers together; even before he came to Utah. Despite D Fish's exit to LA he still seems to be a class person from whom Kobe could learn much about on court conduct. Go Jazz. Let's get one in LA.

I was very comfortable as starting to watch the game on TV. Because i knew the result, 4-2. It was a great game. Thanks to the Jazz anf the lucky fan, watched it live. With all of your permission i want to celebrate my countryman Memo of his big step up. He's now a rebound monster. He's now among first 3 player on the top of the NBA Playoffs by the numbers of double-double and rebounds.

GO MEMO , GO JAZZZZZZZZZZZ

ONE MORE THING TO SAY TO THE ROCKETS. NBA IS WHERE TEAMWORK HAPPENS. YOU JUST GO TO HOLIDAY WITH ONLY A GUY CALLED McGrady. LONELY GOOD BOY. SHAME ON THE ROCKETS.

NICE , but here comes TROUBLE...

Pau and kobe and trader D Fisher, Odem and lets pray we dont get sweeped in 4. And if Andrew B comes back. ULGY, JAZZ Fans and players Make your Vacation plans right after game 4. Especially if Carlos BOOZER keeps pulling a Karl Malone act. It Has BEEN A FUN YEAR !!! But Face It, LAKERS IN FOUR !!!

Go Jazz.

Way to go Jazz. Focused. Intense. Played like a team determined to win. This was your best game of the series - scrambling and going to the floor for loose balls, pursuing rebounds, pushing the ball up court - it was GREAT! Keep playing like that and you'll be NBA champs!

One timer

Yuru be Sinan! Turkiye'nin Deseret'teki sesi... :)

Did anyone notice that every time Brewer was on McGrady that Brewer completely shut him down? The kid can flat out play some defense! D-Will gave it to 'em on the offensive side of the court, but in my mind Brewer sealed the deal in the third with this big "D" on the most over-rated player in the West! HOW 'BOUT THAT JAZZ!

What a joke

Even the Jazz announcers couldn't get themselves to say Utah had a chance against LA. Can't wait for Jazz fans to single out another player and start hating on him, this time it will be Kobe or Fisher. As for Oregon fan I'm feeling a Laker rout, and Dick of the NW, MJ doens't play basketball anymore dude get over it, stop being a joke sniffer.

Get Real

Lakers in 5. That's my gut feeling.
