PrintDenver Nuggets at Utah Jazz, Apr 23, 2010 8:30 PM MDT
Pivotal, huge, series-changing. This game is all of the above. The Jazz were able to grab home-court away from the Nuggets with that game 2 win so long ago.
That win is all for naught if the Jazz can't take care of business at home. Playing at the ESA give the Jazz z huge advantage to be sure, but we've seen a Billupsless and Meloless team come into Utah and beat the Jazz once and give them a run the second time.
We may get into another shootout tonight so the Jazz are going to have to limit Nuggets' possessions by grabbing defensive boards and not turning the ball over.
We're also going to have to have ninja along with everyone else playing well. The offense is going to be there as Denver hasn't shown they can stop it yet, there's just going to have to be a lot of smart decisions tonight.
Above all, I expect the ESA to be thumpin'. Last night's Thunder/Lakers game had a recorded 109 decibels. I'd like to see if they measure decibels at the ESA.

ANYTHING IS POSSSSSSIBULLLLL!!!! Man, I'm so hyped right now.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
The Jazz need a quick lead
to capitalize on the momentum from the last game. Down Memo, I don’t think we can play from behind tonight. We need to strike fast, strike hard, and get the crowd to pull us through. The Nuggs can get defeated by momentum.
(I think that’s a jinx-free post..if anybody notices an errant jinx there, please anti-jinx.)
I'll make it coach.
There's no way that the Jazz win tonight in any scenario.

Brewer made the Jazz play 4 on 5 on offense. Boozer makes them play 4 on 5 on defense.

Fesenko's second foul was wrong call, but it came because of Boozer's half-assed "show" on the pick.
Boozer’s man became wide open for a dunk. Fesenko challenged.

overall as a fan, I can go to bed happy tonight. The Broncos have had a stellar draft thus far (Tebow is the wild card in good ways and bad), the Jazz are taking care of business, etc. As for the bad, the Mavs got punked and the O’s lost again. If the Orioles win, I’m going to have a parade
