Jazz notes

Some basketball observations from Game 4:

• The Jazz turned the ball over needlessly too many times. There were too many bad passes, fall downs and mental errors. They need to cut those episodes out of their game completely Wednesday night in Alamo-town if they want a chance to win.
• Deron Williams is great at getting to his spot on the floor for a shot he feels confident in taking. Williams' spot is a half-step behind the foul line anywhere inside the foul circle. He drained that shot time after time Monday night.
  
• The Jazz double-teamed Tim Duncan successfully time after time Monday night by sending a double-team to Duncan as soon as he put the ball on the floor to make his move. Fisher, Williams and Harpring all succeeded in making steals or causing turnovers on Duncan.
• Mehmet Okur needs to hit some shots. They don't need to be threes, but he does need to do something to get the Spurs to guard him on the outside and open the middle for low-post plays by Boozer and (occasionally) Kirilenko and Harpring.
• Manu Ginobili is a flopper.
• Jeff Van Gundy is an idiot. For him to call Steve Javie the best referee in the league in the first quarter of the game, only to have Javie turn in one of the all-time worst officiated games in the history of the NBA playoffs is self-explanatory.
