Western Conference Finals! Never would have expected that going into the playoffs, but man am I excitied. Sure they'll likely get killed by the Spurs there (go Suns), but still, I'd think it's safe to say that Utah is offically back. That was an easy win last night, even though they didn't play anywhere near their best basketball. Deron Williams in particular was awful, but the whole team seemed off and turned the ball over like crazy. That's something that needs to be fixed before the next round, because it's not going to fly there. They were lucky that the Warriors more or less fell apart down the stretch with all the dumb technicals and flagrents (although even I'll say that the T against Barnes was an absolute joke of a call). The real key to the game for the Jazz, though, was Kirilenko, who's been absolute money in the playoffs and continued tonight with 21 points, 15 boards, and great defense on Jackson. Forget what I said earlier about trading him, he should never ever leave. With him playing at this level, this is a dangerous team. They've got four legit stars in the starting lineup, a red hot Fisher, and a solid bench with Harpring, Millsap, and Brown (the latter two who were also big in last night's game). I love this team so much, I haven't been this excited about the NBA since '98.

Edit: Oh and by the way, **** the suspensions for Amare and Diaw, what a bunch of crap. Bowen can knee and kick people and get nothing, but they get up off the bench and do NOTHING and get a game? Bullshit. Way to ruin an awesome series NBA. The Suns are screwed without those two, and which really sucks for me, because the Jazz can't beat the Spurs.
