Let’s get this out of the way, shall we?  Good news is that we won’t have to see the Spurs again unless we see them in the finals.  Other semi-good news is that we play the Rockets whom we match up well against.  Bad news is that we won’t have HCA in any series unless we see some upsets.

This game was never in doubt.  The two things that I posted in the preview were the undoing of the Jazz.  They let the game get away early and they didn’t play any D.  They were also taking shots outside of the offense and they were turning the ball over.  They had 4 TOs in their first 8 possessions.  It was game 5 of last year’s playoffs all over again.  You just felt from the first couple of possessions that this one was over.  I don’t even know what the final score is yet.  It’s one of the few games that I’ve had to turn off this year.

So let’s look forward to the playoffs and beating the Rockets again.  They won tonight and PHX is winning.  So we’ll be off to Houston for the first round again.  And in a way it’s good because I have a whole slew of images to use for the series posts. 

It won’t be an easy task but one that I think we can steal a game in games 1 or 2 and beat them at the ESA.

Playoff previews coming up.
