The Jazz did have the better team. The only reason we got homecourt (by 1 game) is because they went on a massive losing spree in the last 2 weeks of the season. They had a better record than us for most of the year and beat us in the last 2 regular season matchups.
We had our two superstars (putting up a combined 50+ points for the series) but they are much deeper than us, and Boozer and AK are stars in their own right.
They still had great chances to win the last two games so the loss is still very dissapointing. But you can't argue that T-Mac has a lot of help. He is in the West with Chuck Hayes and Alston as his starting PF and PG.
