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.
