DAY NINETEEN - Only one tilt on tap tonight as the Warriors and the Jazz square off in game two after one of the best game ones we've seen all playoffs.
Warriors at Jazz, 9:00 PM, TNT
Winner: Jazz
Thoughts: Game one in this series was easily one of the most entertaining games I've seen this season. It's unfortunate that much of the casual fans aren't paying attention to this series, because if the rest of the series follows suit it will be one very watchable series. Game one was close right down to the end and for the most part a back and forth type game. Figuring a winner for game two then, is splitting needles. The best thing I can come up with is Utah's superior performance on the boards in game one (54 to 36). The Jazz have a serious size advantage on Golden State, and unless Okur, Boozer, and Kirilenko all start shrinking, that isn't going to change. I like Deron Williams guarding Baron Davis and I like Andrei Kirilenko guarding Stephen Jackson. Maybe I'm pushing my luck against a tough Warriors team, but I gotta take Utah tonight. Jazz win.
