    I was hoping to get matched up with Denver, Houston, or Portland.

    But I guess the Jazz will just have to settle with knocking off the Lakers.:hihi:

    Jazz has the best shot to knock the Lakers off, otherwise I would have predicted Lakers in 4.

    We have played them pretty tough this year but they are more than capable of stealing one from the Jazz at home. I think we match up well but we are not playing our kind of b-ball as of late. The thing with the Jazz though is that they will show up and play incredible ball out of no where. EX. the last hornets game in N.O.

    I agree we have a shot I and I think it will get to at least 6 games but I am hoping for 7.

    He's not playing, Rivers said it himself and Ainge went and had a heart attack after realizing that.
