Man I'm proud for these guys!!!

Big Al's band-aid is racist.

It is awesome, because I had the exact same thought watching the game. "Apparently band aids are designed to blend in with lighter skin, don't they have one for darker shades?".

Playoffs!!!!!

Big Al shows the haters as fools....again
Nice win, down with the Spurs...maybe

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

For me personally this is one of the more gratifying winS in a while.

Who does Denver play for their last two?

Is Jefferson scared of the Suns? He should be dominating these guys but he's playing like a *****.

Heh

 

[Hedda Gambler]

Congrats all. It`s 7:18 am here in Norway and I really don`t care about the specifics of the game. We`re in the play offs baby!

 

[NUMBERICA]

Oof.

Big Al proved once again tonight that his game is evolving and the Jazz are better off keeping him. He made the clutch shots down the stretch in the biggest game of his career, dished out 4 assists and played one of his better all-around games when it mattered most. I hope his detractors can take at least one night off and savor this.

It was also amazing to see the contributions of Favors and Hayward in such a big game. These guys aren't afraid of the big stage and their potential is starting to be realized. It's a great time to be a Jazz fan!

 

[Brown Notes]

Al Jefferson has proven he can produce at a high level under the most serious of pressures. He outplayed Gortat. That is what he had to do. Al also made several clutch hoops. A couple sick dishes. 16 boards.

Atta boy.

 

[Zulu]

Good on ya Jazz!

Call me crazy, but with that big line-up, I think we can give San Antonio fits.

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

Call me crazy, but with that big line-up, I think we can give San Antonio fits.

Okay. You're crazy... and I agree.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz controlled the game with their defense and rebounding. +14 on the boards.

Gortat finished 1 for 8.

 

[mhindy]

Derrick Favors was fantastic. He took Gortat completely out of his game early. Al iced it at the end, I'm so happy for him and all these guys. Great game, they won despite the fact it was 5 on 8 in the second half.

Playoffs!!!!!

 

[Sean]

I love playoffs!

Blues Clues stole my dance!

 

[bozmansblues]

I just want the same 8 playing the playoffs. No Howard, Bell or CJ

I have to agree, the chemistry of the team appears to have been so much better without those three playing - corbin obv didnt like howard showing no conscience and missing 4 in a row in the first half - didnt get back onto the court.

Burks deserves his minutes, as does carroll - they seem to be better role players than the above 3.
