GAME 82: Denver Nuggets at Utah Jazz, 4/13 6:00p MDT

Thats too bad. Jazz played with alot of emotion and the crowd was into it. Jazz only having 8 players and all playing hard, plus the guys for denver that did play seemed to care and play hard. Sounds like you were totally checked out billy..... Not that i blame you too much after this season but i had a blast watching this last game of the year and i think the jazz future is looking pretty good.

I checked out when I saw Denver was checked out. When Gary Forbes is getting serious run, you know you're not really watching an NBA game. Their young guys were playing hard. Their veterans were just going through the motions or taking any shot they felt like trying out. They definitely had staying healthy on their minds. New Orleans, on the other hand, was trying to win. Denver could have cared less.

I just wanted to add that for whatever reason this was the best time my kids had at the game, just a real energetic friendly crowd. They'd high five my kids and that made them get more into the game and scream loudly it was funny to see, just a good all around time.

Also how has nobody mentioned Evans alley oop early in the 2nd qtr (I think it was then) from the stands it looked pretty sick, but then with Hayward's season end performance I guess it is easy to overlook. On the drive home they said that was the most points by a Jazz player in a season finale since Malone and I was thinking to myself the last youngin' to have a good season end was CJ against GSW.
