Utah Jazz 2010 Playoffs

Utah Jazz concludes their regular season loosing to Phoenix Suns, a nasty way to end the season after a big win (yet controversial) 140-139 win over Oklahoma City Thunder. Now Utah Jazz falls off to seed 6 facing Denver Nuggets early to start in the NBA Playoffs 2010.

The Jazz got no energy when they faced the Suns, it’s just torture to watch to see Jazz depleted and settle for the sixth seed (if not mistaken). Carlos Boozer who was reported to have hurt his rib cage, thus lessen Utah Jazz power in  defense as well in offense. Deron Williams was good but not great during that match, I know he did his usual score stats but I felt there’s no energy in the game.

Utah Jazz have been good as well as lucky at home, and the Phoenix Suns didn’t take the chance slip away seeing Jazz missing more men like Carlos Boozer and Andrei Kirilenko because of injuries.

Few more hours from now, Utah Jazz will attempt to snatch the first win in the NBA Playoffs. It’ll be hard, everyone knows this as Denver Nuggets wields good scores on their shoulders plus it’s already a home court advantage till Game 2.

It’ll be no rest for everyone playing in the NBA 2010 playoffs…

Game Preview : Minnesota Timberwolves vs Utah Jazz March 17, 2010

We all know Andrei Kirilenko is still injured, and I’ve been looking everywhere for info if he’ll be able to play against the Timberwolves tonight. Who wouldn’t miss AK?

AK have been one of the powerhouse in the paint, and I hope to see him play tonight as the Timberwolves will be a good practice from him. And who wouldn’t agree with me that the just will win tonight.

Minnesota Timberwolves’ team standing is horrible this season (14-54), considering they will be playing against our Jazz on our home court (EnergySolutions Arena Salt Lake City, Utah). I’m expecting already for the Utah Jazz’s team standing (43-24) will move asap to (44-24) this NBA Season 2010. The Jazz already made it a goal to get a cool spot for the Western Conference. I’ve already predicted this  that Minnesota Timberwolves will lose to Phoenix Suns  yesterday March 16, 2010.  Phoenix Suns dominated the game 152 – 114 to beat Minnesota Timberwolves who is on a road trip for quite some time now.

Minnesota Timberwolves won’t be returning home after they play against our Jazz tonight and Timberwolves will be playing against LA Lakers in their home court as well. Minnesota Timberwolves will be at home playing against Toronto Raptors on March 22, 2010.

Carlos Boozer vs Andray Blantche

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.
