Well give the Nuggets credit in this one. They did alot to keep the Jazz from clinching the series in Denver. I thought the Jazz did come to play and win this one, through the first three quarters i thought the Jazz would be able to finish off the Nuggets. Denver was doing alot of good things and playing really well, but the Jazz just would not let them get away with the game. It was good to see the Jazz and Deron play like this and not let the game get away from them like it easily could have. Deron and Boozer had great games in this one, we just didn't get as much offense from the rest of the team.

It sucks the Jazz couldn't finish the series in this game. You never want to get a game closer. The series is not over at all. Hopefully the Jazz can just do game 6 like they did games 3 and 4. It would have been really surprising if the Jazz would have been able to beat the Nuggets 4 games in a row. The Nuggets are a good team and played that way tonight. I'm a bit worried, but if the Jazz come out and play well at home, this series will be over. I'm so excited to be at game 6. I have never been to a game where either team could clinch a playoff series. I just hope thats what they'll do. It doesn't really need to be said that we don't want to go back to Denver for a game 7...
I predicted Jazz would win this series in 6, so... lets just have that be right, i'm actually doing decent in my predictions so far. Sort of.
