Oh so close. Why is it that Biedrins came through in the clutch from the line but Pietrus and Baron didn't? The good thing is that after the collapse in Dallas in Game 5, the Warriors came out at home in Game 6 and blew them out. I'm looking for a similar showing tomorrow. The Jazz are playing very well right now, but the Warriors are great at home. Dubs fans will help get this series tied 2-2 going back to Utah for Game 5. Friday and Sunday at the Oracle Arena will be louder than the Jazz have ever heard.

Things just got away from the Warriors last night

  He (Baron) was like, "Once they get a taste of these fans, they're not going to win here. So all we have to do is steal a game out there, because they're not winning here."

  And he was right. There's no winning over there.

  But there are points to be made about reviving the Warriors, and I'm here to make them...

  * It does come down to Monta Ellis doing something beneficial to the team from here on out, starting in Game 3 tomorrow before the warm folks of Oracle Arena.

  I hate to put it on the kid, who looks and sounds so confused (and is playing so scared). But you wonder why Davis, Jason Richardson and Barnes looked so tired at the end of Game 2 last night?

  Sometimes in life you get what you deserve. The Warriors certainly did Wednesday night. Given endless opportunities to put the Jazz away, they kept giving them hope. The Jazz answered with clutch play after clutch play. The Ws have made it this far based upon their hunger. Right now, they don't look like the team that wants it more. The bandwagon may have hit a bump and thrown out a few fans, but there's no reason to panic yet. We'll learn what this team is made of Friday night in Oakland. Until then, put all the sharp objects in another room and follow the jump.
