Sorry I didn’t get a recap up of the Mavs game.  I’ve been recovering from a dagger wound given to me by Jirk.

And I didn’t really feel like talking about the million reasons why the Jazz lost that game.  Whether it was the lack of Booze, the refs, or whatever, the game’s over.  And there’s not much that can be done about it now.  We’re pretty much locked into the fourth seed.  And now we need a lot of help to get home-court.  We’re two games back of Houston, our likely first-round opponent again.  We can take care of one of those games the next time we see them.  But we’re going to need some help.  But they could also move up to anywhere from 1-3 as they’re only 1 game back of NO.  I’d rather see Houston than SA or LA.  If NO somehow fell to 5, that would be great.

Anyway, don’t worry about Boozer.  He’s had a bad April, but he’ll pick it up.  It drives Jazz fans absolutely insane when he has a few poor games.  Trade him!  Boozer sucks!  He’ll be just fine.  And as long as he doesn’t disappear in the playoffs (he wont), we’re just fine.

And have you noticed the fireball that is Deron Williams the past few games?  Is there anyone on the court that wants to win more?  If you’re not on the D-Train, you’re going to get run over.  Let’s just hope he can inspire his teammates to play up at his level.

You might say that tonight’s game then doesn’t mean much.  But we still need it for home-court.  And it’s still Denver.  It’s always a pleasure to beat them.  And a win over them tonight and a GS win would knock them back into a tie for 8th with Denver still having the tiebreaker advantage.  But a nail in Denver’s playoff coffin would bring Jazz fans immense joy.

My Utah Jazz will be doing some live blogging tonight so I might chime in there.
