Ok so the Jazz played an awesome game on Monday night. But my question is, which Jazz team is gonna take the court tonight?.. The Jazz team that played the season finale against Phoenix? The ones that came out and played like they had nothing to play for with nothing on the line?.. Or the Jazz team that played Monday night in game 2 against the Nuggets? The team that came in plagued with injuries but that played with as much heart as I've seem from them all season?.. Cuase thats thats the team that I want to see tonight. To be fair the Jazz played almost a perfect game and the Nuggets did not play to their potential. But I think a lot of that had to do with the way the Jazz played defense. They fought hard to get Carmelo off his sweet spot but more amazingly, they got in Billups's head. I never seen Billups commit the type of childish fouls he was commiting and I think frustration had a lot to do with it. Thats the type of D thats gonna get us two more wins in SLC. My compliments to Mathews by the way. The way he hustles on both sides of the court should be an inspiration to some of the veterans on this team. Just saying... But back to the rest of the team. Short handed or not, the Jazz have a well rounded team with enough talent to make a lot of noise as long as people start pulling their own weight. I've been preaching this for a while and I think its about time people start listening. Monday night was a good example of that. Sure we could use AK's defence to try to slow down Carmelo right about not but guess what... He is still hurt and he can't play so people are gonna have to suck it up and play a little harder. Overall I think they seem to be doing just that but consistency is key. Lets see if they can keep up that intensity going into tonight's game.
PS. What was Matt Harpring talking about after the game when he said the Jazz came out and won even after nobody believed in them?.. Hey! I believed.
