Utah Jazz is one of the most surprising teams in the playoffs  

utah jazz is a no surprise for me. it has been a playoff team for decades and always a contender in the western conference. well, what is surprising there is the mediocre performance of the nuggets. looking at the line-up, the nuggets is very formidable but it is not performing as expected. williams and boozer are outstanding players for the jazz. but we can not yet count the nuggets out.

Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer are the one-two punch for the Jazz and the effective they are, the more the Jazz a contender of the playoffs. It is quite a surprise that the Jazz is on top with the Nuggets without the services of Kirilenko and Okur. With the 2 out on the playoffs, no one has ever expected that the Jazz are like contenders in this time playing against the complete lineup and the multi-talented Denver squad.

It's up to Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony to carry them from a 3-1 deficit. As it does not look good for them. As for Boozer, he's making a statement that he wants a higher contract come free agency that's why he's performing well these playoffs. If not then Milsap would take over next year and they could get someone in the lottery pick thanks to the Knicks!
