(4) Nuggets Vs. (5) Jazz

Imagine how insane it would be if the Thunder and Blazers manage to somehow win their series (and Utah and San Antonio close out their's). All four low seeds prevailing - boilovers aren't just for Live. Match-ups considered, OKC would have a decent shot against Utah, and Hollinger would probably predict San Antonio to sweep Portland. OKC beats San Antonio, and BOOSH. Lower seed prevails in all 7 series out West.

Fully expecting this dream to die when LA and Phoenix win their next 2 games.

If the Spurs win, then obviously rooting for: Thunder, Blazers, and well, uh, Jazz. Maybe not the last one.

If I was being logical (noting that the Thunder probably don't win), I'd probably root for the Blazers.

Sigh.

Think how good the Jazz could be if they still had Ronnie Brewer (an epic defender who doesn't waste possessions) instead of the Matthews/Miles platoon that seems determined to undermine the stars.

Finally, someone in here also knows the goodness of Ronnie Brewer.

You play selfish you lose selfish that's all I'm saying about the game!

That gem is from the twitter of team mate of the year candidate JR Swish.... I wonder if he referring to Carmelo's game (which kept them in it) or the lack of assists. Since I have Smith I'll go with him trashing Melo.

This has been my favorite series in the players along with the hawks/bucks series, i want the jazz to go to the western conference finals so bad. Why? Because they have new york's 2010 first round pick i heard on nba tv! That would be great for that city to make it at least to the western conference finals, and then to draft a great young talent in the upcoming rookie draft, i love this matchup.

As a coach, Adrian Dantley looks a lot like Michael Curry during games: Perplexed and Focused on anything but the game at hand.

This is also a great game. Denver is leading right now. Man it would be crazy if they came back to win this series.
