 With the winner most likely getting in as the 8 seed in the west this should be an awesome game. Who do you guys think takes it?

I believe phoenix has beaten the jazz twice this year already and come in as 4.5 point underdogs. 

Im rooting for Nashty to get into the playoffs once more as a Sun!

[Golden State of Mind]

The Suns are 1 game behind the Jazz. They need to win tonight and against the Spurs. Hopefully, the Spurs will sit Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili. But 1 game at a time.

As a Jazz fan I’m obviously rooting for the Jazz.  Also, I think the Jazz will win this game.  The Suns are an old team slipping into their sunset as the Nash era comes to a close.  The Jazz are the young energized team that is barely beginning to recognize their own talent.  I think the Jazz pull off a win and take at least 2 wins from SA before losing in the first round.

 yeah i’m assuming the spurs are not going to play any starters against the suns tomorrow. The suns have the tiebreaker over the jazz so a win tonight would be a huge step, but your right, not in for sure.

I think the Spurs will rest the big 3 against the Suns, because I’m sure they would much rather play them than the Jazz. They’ve had trouble in the past with up and coming young teams in the playoffs (see 2011 Grizzlies), and the Suns don’t have anyone besides Nash that can get them through a whole series against a veteran team like the Spurs. However, I think we all are curious to see if the Jazz are ready to give the Spurs a little bit of trouble, so I’m hoping they make it.

I’m so conflicted for this game………..I consider myself a big Utah fan but I REALLY want them to get 2 lottery picks in this draft. If they make the playoffs their pick goes to MIN and GS has been tanking games like CRAZY to keep their draft pick (top 7 protected)……..

 

There is a good possibility that Utah will get 0 lottery picks after making the playoffs (((and GS intentionally losing, ya I said it….even with 3 rookies in their lineup they could be more competitive than thery have been))), and for what? To lose in 5 games to the Spurs? No thank you.

I’m dreaming of the Jazz missing the playoffs, winning the lottery, and getting the 8th pick in the draft from the Warriors…….Davis and Marshall!!!…….hey a guy can dream.

^I can appreciate that kind of support for your team, wanting them to get the dubs’ pick, but as a Warrior’s fan, I am going to be praying my heart out that we lose these final two games, which garuntees us a top 7 pick.

And isn’t it balantly obvious that we’re openly losing? I mean wasn’t that obvious when we were surging and had a chance for the #8, and then did the right thing, semi blew it up, shut down Lee, so yes, we are intentionally losing. 

I agree with you that making the playoffs doesn’t do much for you guys, but at this point, it won’t make that much of a difference, your own pick will be 14th if you don’t, and anywhere from 15-17th if you do. 

I’m a basketball fan, and as much as I want to see Steve Nash make it one last time before he goes off to South Beach, th Jazz can give the Spurs slight trouble, but still it’ll be a 5 game series.

channing fish frye out….. markief better show up to play or phoenix is in trouble!

 favors is having a block party, gortat is the special guest.

 

[NbanflguyParticipant]

I like the Suns and want Steve Nash to do well, but I am a Timberwolves fan and if the Jazz make the playoffs we get their 1st round pick. Gota root for the Jazz I guess.

Paul Millsap is a doing pretty well playing as a SF.

[Johnny Chill]

That frontline of Utah: Jefferson, Favors and Millsap is a rebounding force. They need a 3 point shooter.

 

[Future_Scout’s board]

^ lol funny thing, i’ve been pointing out players compared to t-rob playing SF.

another t-rob comparison playing SF (millsap)… along with thaddeus young, and taj gibson.

but somehow t-rob wont be able to…. ok, we’ll see

[For_Never_EverParticipant]

 The only decent shooter on the floor for the Jazz is Gordan Hayward.

[bloodshyParticipant]

5 blocks at halftime in a reserve role.

[Future_Scout’s board]

 nash is a genius… he’s doing donuts around the defense and i’m just wondering who is he going to find next? he almost always finds a guy open that doesn’t even look like he’s open.

best passer in the game
