Game 5

Game 5 is near us. Carmelo has given us a dazzling offensive display in the previous 4 games and has proven the point that you cannot win a series with just one threat. The AP said that Melo even realizes this and said that its going to be a team effort to get this much needed win. Coach Adrian Dantley doesn't add too much enthusiasm to the mix by calling out Anthony's 9 turnovers last game. AD is to passive and has no future at being a head coach. It seems as though there is a lot of negativity going on in that locker room right now.

The locker room of the Utah Jazz is completely opposite. They have won 3 straight and have Deron firing on all 8 cylinders. He is the leading scorer (26.8) and assist(12.0) man for the Jazz and also getting the national buzz that he is the league's best point guard from commentators and journalists. Boozer had a great game three and the bench is coming through in the clutch with great defense. As far as attitude the Jazz have a huge advantage.

The real issue is that we are at the Pepsi Center tomorrow with a ticked off Denver team that has gotten it handed to them for the last two weeks! I believe that we are in trouble, and vegas agrees with me giving Denver a 7 point spread.

But the enthusiasm of Carlos is comforting. ESPN.com reports Carlos Boozer saying, " We're not going to fall into the trap of thinking that we've won the series. We haven't. We have a lead in the series. We haven't won anything yet."

We're not going to roll over and let them run over us, but I think this will be settled up in Utah come game 6 on Friday.
