Who would have thunk it??

This could be called the western conf JV series. Nobody for a minute believes that either of these teams can make it to the Finals. But guess what? One of them will make it to the WCF!


Let`s just say, one of these teams happens to upset either the Suns or Spurs and face, uh the Pistons in the Finals.........

Hmmmm......we all know the success we had against both of these teams during the regular season. That`s right, this is not the regular season.

Anyway, this should be an entertaining series. I have no idea who will win it. The teams split the four games played during the regular season.

Should be a great series. Personally, I think a Pistons vs. Jazz final would be awesome... but so would a Pistons vs. Warriors! How's that for commitment?

I agree.

But ABC, the NBA, David Stern, Nike, (well maybe Nike) would never let it happen!!

I hear alot about the nba style of play and results being influenced greatly by stern and others. Im not sure if this is said jokingly or is something that we must all accept. Could someone comment on this please.

I take back what I said about the pleasure of watching execution. The Jazz play an admirable game and none of their current players are really all that bad, but I can't get past their management, their crowd, the way the referees always seem particularly blind in Salt Lake City, the way they use hacking as a base defense rather than a supplement to one, that moronic dirty %%%% Karl Malone, and the fact that they're from Utah.

It's just an added benefit that I can support the Warriors by hating the Jazz.

If Baron's reasonably healthy, Warriors in 6. If he's not, Jazz in 5. Either will be taken apart rather easily by San Antonio.

I think we matchup better against the Jazz... I don't want to see Sheed & Cwebb chasing the Warriors up and down the court... and we don't have a PG advantage against them either.
It might be a different scenario if we were a big post up team (not).

If Boozer plays as well against GSW as he did against the Rockets, I think the Jazz win this series in 5 games and then rest up for the winner of the Spurs/Suns series.

What's their regular season record against each other?

both those teams are TOUGH for us. but I will enjoy trying to watch (no TV) them play each other! I am a big Deron fan.

I think Al Harrington (along with Biedrins for defensive purposes) will have a much more successful series against Boozer than one might think. And Memo and Fisher are going to have serious problems.
