Good question! I'm rooting for the Warriors, personally.....this is a franchise that has won its first playoff series since the 70's! They destroyed the Mavs, so that shows a lot......however, they don't have that big underdog chip on their shoulder anymore and no one will underestimate them, so it should be interesting. The Warriors get a lot of long rebounds, but so do the Jazz, so that factor may be a wash.
The warriors did a great job of taking the Mavs' big men out of the series with their uptempo game, but Boozer and Okur are a hell of a lot better than Diop and Dampier....and it doesnt seem like Boozer will get rattled and cave like Dirk did.
If it were Warriors vs. Rockets, I would definitely say the Warriors had the upper hand...... however, since thats not the matchup, I really would say neither team has a huge advantage....
Both the Jazz and Warriors have lil to no players with playoff experience (with the major exception of Derek Fisher, but he is not a main man for the Jazz). It will be interesting in any event, but my prediction is Warriors in 6 or 7, assuming they continue their momentum and Baron Davis' injury is not lingering.

you have to understand, the warriors beat the Mavs mainly bnd ecause they had thier number (Don Nelson knew exactly how to attack them) they don't have the same advantage agianst the Jazz.
I will admit though the GS has several advantages in the series:
1. Baron Davis is more experienced than D-Will (for now)
2. they have a dangerous shooter in Stephen Jackson
and finally
3 you never EVER underestimate Don Nelson
With the advantages that GS has though I stll believe Utah has the better team and will triumph. my pick is Jazz in 6
GO JAZZ!

I like the Warriors but I have to go with the Jazz on this one. They're not going to let themselves be bullied like Dallas did. They'll fight back and execute their offense better against Golden State.
Jazz in 6

its gotta be the jazz. who is going to stop boozer, d will, ak47, etc. the warriors struggled to get into the playoffs, and beat a very good team that just happened to get soft because they were on cruise control into the playoffs for so long, it wasnt that the warriors were that good. so its going to be the jazz in 5. thats what i believe......

Warriors in 6. They are riding a huge high. That will help. Plus I don't think they will lose at home.

Warriors in 7 games, in game 7, Monta Ellis will have his breakout game of his career.
It's our destiny this year!!
