Game 6 - Final Thoughts

Excellent play by the Jazz in the second half to come back and actually turn this into a game, but all I kept thinking was "where was this in the first half?"

-Deron was a beast, hard to believe he's only been in the league for 3 years. Look for lots of amazing stuff from this guy in the future.

-Carlos struggles yet again.

-Brewer had a fantastic 3rd quarter, love to see that kind of intensity and hustle out of him.

-The combo of Harpring and Millsap were amazing at hitting the boards there at the end of the game, would've liked to have seen that in the first half as well.

-Yes there were a few bad calls again, but they didn't really matter or come close to deciding the game, as both Brandon and I have said, this game was lost in the first quarter.

-I've heard some people complain about Sloan not calling a time out after the Fisher FT miss. Personally I think that was a great call to just turn and push it. You got a pretty decent look for Okur out of it, and you probably wouldn't have gotten the offensive rebound as cleanly if the defense had time to set up after the time out... Deron's 3 was literally this close to going in...

All-in-All, it was a hard fought series, and I still can't believe there wasn't a single lead change in all 6 games. It's depressing, for sure, but let's just hope this is more experience this young team can build upon....

Gotta figure out what to do with the rest of my May though. Guess it's time to start pulling for KG.
