Utah (Illinois) Jazz to play Spurs

The Spurs won their second round of the playoffs last night against Phoenix, and move on to play Deron Williams and Dee Brown of the Utah Jazz. Some say that Tim Duncan and Tony Parker will be too much for the Jazz, who feature D-Will and Carlos Boozer as key threats. After watching most of the Jazz Warriors series, I'm not sure. The Jazz are tough, balanced, and play disciplined basketball for Coach Sloan, so I am giving them a good chance to upset the Spurs. The Williams Parker match-up will be interesting to watch for Illini fans. Williams outplayed Baron Davis overall in the recent series, even though most "experts" expected Davis to walk all over the second year Jazz guard. The Jazz have good size, so it will be interesting to watch them match up in the post.
