Golden Opportunity for the Jazz

Golden St. upsetting Dallas in the first round of the playoffs provides a golden opportunity for the Utah Jazz. If the Jazz can knock off Houston in game 7 it will have a realistic chance of making the Western Conference finals. Who ever would have predicted that the Jazz would have the opportunity to have home court advantage in the 2nd round of the playoffs?

The hardest part and most important part of it all is winning game 7 in Houston. This will not be an easy task. The Jazz have seemed afraid too win in the previous three games in Houston. They have put themselves in a position to win each game yet to let it fall away in the later part of the game. Nonetheless, this opportunity now is too much to let go by. A win in Houston would give the Jazz home court advantage in the 2nd round, against a #8 seed that acted like it reached its lone goal by getting out of the first round after knocking off Dallas.

This makes game 7 in Houston the most important game for the Jazz since they were playing against Jordan’s Bulls in the 98 Finals. Let’s just hope the take advantage of the opportunity.
