Utah Jazz vs Denver Nuggets NBA Playoffs 2010 Game 6

in Highlights, NBA Playoffs, The Jazz Zone
A hard fought battle….
“We don’t want to travel back to Pepsi Center, Denver”
“We don’t want Game 7”
“We want to win”
These are the mindset I saw when Utah Jazz wins NBA Playoffs 2010 Game 6 against Denver Nuggets, in the eyes of Paul Millsap, Ronnie Price, Carlos Boozer with his amazing 22 points and 20 rebounds (18 of those are defensive rebounds), and Deron Williams… all I can say WOW. The match were very physical and hard fought, just as the closing seconds of the match Deron Williams got injured after a pick and roll play and he hurt his left wrist. I hope you are okay D.
Deron Williams didn’t score as much as he did in Game 6, because the overall team scored was distributed evenly to the Utah Jazz players. Everyone contributed nicely and they played as a team today. Deron Williams scored only 14 points and 10 assists, it’s Wesley Matthews who is in the red carpet today with his 23 points topping Boozer’s 22 points.
Denver Nuggets’ Chauncey Billups scored 30 points, Carmelo Anthony with 20 points and Joey Graham joined them with 21 points to pressure Utah Jazz. However, suffice to say that Utah Jazz wanted more this year.
Utah Jazz will be facing again the LA Lakers. Last year, NBA 2009 Playoffs Utah Jazz fought LA Lakers and ended easily with Playoffs score 4-1.

Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Timberwolves Game Result March 17, 2010

Don't touch Kyle Korver, he's hot!
Well, guess what? My prediction was correct as Utah Jazz wins against Minnesota Timberwolves and the Final Score 122-100 in favor of the Utah Jazz.
The Jazz dominate almost every quarter, 1st quarter the scores were tied. From 2nd quarter to the last quarter Jazz dominates. 26-17, 35-30,35-27 respectively.
Kyle Korver was wonderful, contributed well with 20 points with 3 out of 4 3-point shots. He was cool coming off the bench. AK-47 was back as I hoped for! Finally saw Andrei Kirilenko played, although he played for 16 minutes but it’s worth it. Like I said, the Timberwolves match is a good practice for him. Still with injury, AK contributed 9 points. Wow!
I know Jerry Sloan will put the bench players to game, like I said this match will be easily won. I’m now saying that they should take them lightly, like what Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams said “From now on we won’t take any lightly”.
Paul Millsap with 21 points and 11-wow-rebounds,
Deron Williams still contributing those friendly assists, he got 11 that’s why Deron Williams is in the top 3 of the League Leaders for Asissts.
Memo with his usual scores, he got 14 tonight and Wesley Matthews with 10 points. CJ Miles didn’t contribute match today, he got 8 points.
With 19,851 fans watching the Utah Jazz inside EnergySolutions Arena, I know this will be a tough situation for Minnesota Timberwolves.
Final Team Scores:
UTA (122)
MIN (100)
Team Standings:
MIN (14-54)

The Jazz will be facing Phoenix Suns in US Airways Center, Phoenix Arizona on Friday, March 19, 2010 which the Minnesota Timberwolves falls off too last Tuesday., March 16, 2010.

Utah Jazz scored over a hundred points again against Washington Wizards 112-89. This time the Jazz learned their lesson not to take opponents lightly, Carlos Boozer comments “I don’t care what the situation is. Everybody goes through a long season. Everybody has to play 82 games and a bunch in a period of a time. We can’t have any excuses. We can’t feel sorry for ourselves. We have to take care of business and that’s what we’re doing.”
Washington Wizards got worn out and the Jazz leads came over by 30 points. The Jazz had a 90-56 lead and this was fueled by Wesley Matthews 3 pointer at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Battle for five – Utah Jazz vs Milwaukee Bucks March 12, 2010
by jazzer on March 12, 2010
in Highlights, NBA Season
Utah Jazz and Milwaukee Bucks, each them has four winning streaks and the Jazz lost the battle. I mentioned in my last post that the Jazz needs to tighten their defense and in the match against the Milwaukee Bucks it shows. First half, the Bucks had their leads with 25-22 in the first quarter and 23-18 in the second quarter.
Jon Salmons firing away giving the bucks the edge with 24 points, and out of nowhere rookie Brandon Jennings scored 23 points. Andrew Bogut offering good offense and defense with 16 points, 12 rebounds and four blocked shots.
Milwaukee Bucks now holds the fifth place in the Eastern Conference and won their fifth winning streak.
The Jazz are a little short-handed on the other side as Andre Kirilenko left the game with injury in his left hamstring.
After the first half, this is what makes the Jazz inconsistent. Either they start slow and ended the game with progress or they start fast and ended the game with little progress. However, in this game they started slow and struggled in the end.
The Jazz and the Bucks ties in scoring in 3rd and 4th quarter, 23-23 and 24-24 leaving the Bucks lead n the first half.
John Salmons contributed big for the Bucks as his offense and defense pressured the Jazz. Carlos Boozer who tried to get fouled-counted game has the darker side of the idea. Our man Boozer got 2 technical fouls and was ejected.
The Bucks backcourt defense what makes the Bucks’ opponents not to score more than 80-90 points. For a quick info about this, Milwaukee Bucks didn’t allow their opponents score more than 80-90 points which means they have tight defense to pressure opponents.
AK scored only 3 points…
Milwaukee Bucks wins fifth straight win whereas Utah Jazz stopped at four winning streak, final score 95-87 in favor of Milwaukee Bucks.
Carlos Boozer and Mehmeh Okur contributed well like usual but Deron Williams… why oh why D-Will?! I don’t know what happen to him contributing only 6 points ?!
