Why the Jazz will lose

[carolinajazz]

.....the Spurs hope to close this series out in 5 games tops....and not get Parker or Genobli hurt in the process!

Utah's mindset should be to push this series beyond four games. That's it.

Utah's mindset should be to win.

Why bother playing, if you go in with the mindset to just win a game or two.

Go hard or go home.

if raja bells can slow down Manu, jazz has a chance

Then the Jazz are doomed. Bell and the Jazz have never been able to slow down or stop Manu.

The Jazz will lose if they cannot defend the pick'n roll better and if they can't stop the normal 3 pt bombardment the Spurs give the Jazz every year. Jazz also have to believe they can win which most of the time in SA they look defeated before halftime. Oh it is because that is usually what happens.

Utah's mindset should be to push this series beyond four games. That's it. Whatever happen after that is gravy and the closer you get to that seventh game, the more likely anything can happen. Yeah, it sounds simplistic, but really, that's all you can do as heavy underdogs.

What I like about these Jazz is that they're just unpredictable enough to do it. I wouldn't be floored if I saw this team taking the Spurs to seven games and leading with two minutes to go. It's not likely to happen, and certainly not something I'm expecting, but you know, this isn't the '09 Jazz who limped into the playoffs as an 8th seed. They fought tooth and nail for that spot and because of it, I guess the hope here is that they're hitting their stride at the right moment. Not sure it would amount to even a win in this series, but I'm hopeful it can at least provide an excellent and thrilling first round series.

So, don't get swept, if you can't steal one game in SA, win both home games and we'll go from there. That's all I ask.

In other words, compete. Our guys need to fight, and scratch, and compete like they never have before. If they've done that, they should get at least one win, and be able to hold their heads up high.

Predicted issues for the Jazz:

3 balls, from both sides, Spurs make a ton, Jazz do not.

Foul trouble for Favors and Hayward.

Ty panics and goes with Raja and Howard over Burks. Kanter sees few minutes.

Pick and roll, pick and roll, pick and roll.

...I think you have just described why our half-time deficit will be 20 points!

so we are going with the starting lineup that went 1-5 in the season.
