Good Game!

Its been good to be a Jazz fan lately. They have been doing excellent without AK and Memo out against Denver in Round 1. Tonight Utah took a commanding lead against them 3 games to 1. We are going back to Denver for game 5 and if we loose that one we will come back home for game 6. I would really like to see the Jazz beat Denver back in there own home but I believe the Jazz will fall to Denver in game 5 and Take it back it Utah during Game 6.
The thunder have had a big couple of games against the Lakers also. It would benefit us if the Thunder win and we VS them in the next round of the Playoffs. We will have home court advantage however we will need to play extremely hard if we are going to beat the Thunder. Durant has been explosive and we all remember the last game against them. It was a nail bitter and Durant should of gotten the foul called on him and he would of won the game at the free point line however the ref missed the call and the Jazz got a huge break. It will be very interesting to see what teams come out of the west this year. They are all playing good and some of the teams we thought would not do good are stepping up and making things happen.

GOOD NEWS

For the first in as long as I can remember there were actually two great stories in the news today. I read about the China miners that were trapped for a week and most of them survived and they were able to rescue them. Second the strange man who jumped into the Hudson River to help save a 2 year old girl who he didn't even know. God bless this man!
The reason I am so excited about this is because I have been sick of looking on the news and only seeing the bad stories of people being kidnapped, robbed, or killed. It seems like all there is in the world right now is bad however I disagree strongly. The news sells when they talk about the bad and for some reason they never report on the good stories or Miracles that happen everyday. Probably because it doesn't sell as good and the bad stories.
People are sitting there saying that the world is going crazy and there is so much bad in the world. That may be true however there is so much good in the world still today. Just open your eyes and look for it. God isn't going to abandoned all of the people on earth he still is performing miracle and he is still answering prayers. Just have hope and believe and you will see them happen right in front of you.

My thoughts on the Utah Jazz

The Utah Jazz have 5 Games left in the season before the playoffs start. The west conference as usual is in a tight race for teams looking to seed in the 1-4 spots. The Utah Jazz are currently in the 4th spot however the race is tight looking forward and looking behind. Dallas, Denver, Utah, and Phoenix are all tied with 50 wins and 27 loses. The remaining schedule for the Utah Jazz is as follows.

VS. Oklahoma

@Houston

@New Orleans

@Golden State

VS Phoenix

We have 1 home game and a 3 game road trip before our last home game against Phoenix. Oklahoma and Phoenix is a MUST win for the Utah Jazz if their looking in staying or gaining in the seed race. With both of those games at home the Jazz should be able to pull it off. Keep a eye on Durant though because he has been explosive during the last half of the season. For the next 5 games I predict the Jazz going 4-1 falling to the Houston Rockets. The Jazz will have a tough fight at home against Durant and the Thunder and they will have to leave right after to go face Houston. The Jazz will be tired and unprepared to take them. After loosing to Houston the Jazz will finally release whats at stake and finish the seasons with WINS.

Now for the Playoffs I believe there will be one team that will be the biggest struggle for the Jazz and that of course is the Lakers. With Lakers having home court advantage it is almost a guarantee lost for the Jazz. The Jazz do not have Confidence when they step inside the Staples center against the Lakers. In order to get to the finals they are going to have to find a way to beat the Lakers in LA which has not been done for sometime.

If Phoenix and Oklahoma stay behind us in the seeding we will be OK with home court advantage. But if the season ends and either one of them are ahead it may be difficult to overcome the Phoenix Suns or Durant and the Thunder. So the Jazz need to know how important it is to keep winning and stay ahead and try to get to that 2nd or 3rd spot. I'm excited to see how the end of the season and playoffs will happen.
