Preview – Utah Jazz @ San Antonio Spurs – 16 April 2008
Let’s end this already. 9 years is long enough. I’m sick of hearing about it. Bill Clinton was dealing with Lewinsky the last time the Jazz won in SA.
It’s a winnable game based on the recent play of the Jazz. They’re something like 11-8 on the road since the loss @ DEN back in Jan. And I prefer to play the Spurs at home in the first round than to play on the road @ HOU and then have a potential matchup against the Lakers in the second round.
Manu looks like he will play tonight. The Jazz need two things to win this,
- First, don’t give up a big first quarter. The Jazz rally back from these but don’t usually have enough to get over the hump to win these games.
- Play D like your life depends on it. They played great D on the Spurs last time. SA missed a lot of open shots, but those shots were ones the Jazz wanted them to take.
So let’s hope we see the Memo of recent weeks, the passing/slashing/blocking AK, Baseline Brewer, and KK knocking down some dagger threes.
And Deron will dominate this game.
Last regular season game. Let’s do this.
