they totally had this game won, but shot themselves in the foot missing free throws. to win this series they MUST win at utah and they just flat out blew it on this one. there's still time, they're going back home now. i predict they'll have momentum when they come back to utah for game 5.

Yeah. They didn't hit their free throws down the stretch. That's killer. They also hit like 15 threes, and still lost. The Warriors should win their home games, and the Jazz will also win their home games. I still think this series will go to 7.

Hey gaga,
i agree. The Warriors could just as easily be up 2-0. That being said they must come out with an urgency in game 3 and make sure they take care of business at home. Missing free throws (esp. those misses from Pietrus) was a momentum killer (especially on the road).
i think they also have to do a better job rebounding. Winning in close games is about making free throws and getting stops down the stretch and i think Utah had too many second, third, chances.
If they can take care of business at home, they still have a shot.

They better learn how to rebound or this will be a 5 game series. So far Utah is killing Golden State 114-60 in the rebounding dept. for 2 games and Boozer and Derron Williams are not scared at all. Jason Richardson took some bad shots in overtime and what the hell was Baron Davis thinking shooting a 3 with 2.8 seconds to go in regulation? He could've gotten a better shot closer to the basket. This is a fun series to watch though. It didn't seem like it at first but this may be the best series of all the teams involved, including Suns-Spurs. I said it MAY BE the best!!!

I must say Jazz's discipline sure had an answer for the Warriors chaos. With the way the Jazz is playing, I think they will win 1 game at GS and close the series in game 5.

Warriors Blew it yes they did and I love it. Jazz are too strong right now. Yes GS are a fast break team but Utah knows how to close out games. I say Utah Jazz in 5 Games. They will win one in California.

40 3-pt shots and missed 3 crucial free throws by BD and Pietrus (can he still sleep?).. man, they must be tired of all the helter-skelter and jostling for the boards (w/c utah DOMINATED)
they have to play much smarter down the stetch if they want to win this series because so far, the jazz have been making the huge plays down the stretch. They would have the energy of the Oakland crowd again..
If they lose 1 home game, they're probably done.. but if they hold serve the next 2 home games... they will win in 6.

Well, we will see in the next two games if they have the guts to win this second round of playoff. They just had a bad day or game. However, am still hoping the Sun will win the western championship.
