Ronnie Price gets clobbered by Turiaf, and he is all class. Isiah Thomas got
clobbered by Karl Malone, and he whined for a year about it. Congratulations to
Ronnie Price for being a man about it.

40 stitches above your eye versus 4 would probably give you a different opinion
too Geezer. Price is the man, what a game on Sunday!! Go Jazz!
LHM | 2:25 p.m. May 13, 2008
I'm still trying to figure out the "doesn't do anything
non-religious on Sunday" thing from LHM. Such a big deal was made out of
him not attending Sunday's game. Consider the big media "event"
it became. Long drive with an ESPN reporter along to document it, leaving his
wife home on Mother's Day, etc.
Then he does the TV show on Sunday night and comments on the Turiaf vs Price incident. If you're going to watch the highlights and go on TV to comment on them and keep your theaters open on Sunday, etc. etc. etc. why not just go to the game and not make the rest of us church members look like buffoons?
For the record, my church block was from 9:00 to noon. We talked to our missionary from 12:15 to about 1:00pm. Ate Mother's Day lunch until about 1:30 and then sat as a family and watched the Jazz! Sunday evening, when LHM was recording his TV show I was in a meeting with my Stake President...comparing thoughts about the game, which he watched too. And you didn't hear about any of it in the media!!!
Jo Jazz, Go away LHM...

Hey "LHM" | 2:49 p.m. May 13, 2008
It's odd he won't watch the Jazz games on sunday while his employees
at the Mayan were obligated(at least when I worked there) to work sundays.
You had to be willing to work sundays in order to get the job there in the first place.

Leave Larry Miller alone. How he choose to practice his religion is NON OF YOUR
BUSINESS.If you LDS are embarrassed by how he conducts himself then you are in
the wrong Church. When they make you a "judge in Israel" let me know.
Re:Non-Believer (beliver???) | 8:15 p.m. May 13, 2008
Sorry, but living in So. Cal during the finals, so many of my friends asked why
it was OK to stand in the tunnel, but not come out to watch the game.
When the man throws it on religious beliefs, that I supposedly share, then it becomes my BUSINESS, and I have no idea how to explain it. I just told them that he was "stupid", and they seemed to buy it. (I think Miller wants to be an Apostle someday... That's my theory).
I'm sure it is between LHM and his maker, but really, no Brokeback Mountain because it's gay, and Will and Grace on KJAZZ.
I just wish all these good LDS people would shut up about their LDS standards on a PUBLIC LEVEL (LHM, Steve Young, Danny Ainge Firesides, Shawn Bradley, Sis. Thurl on why it's OK to marry non-LDS... all poor examples) and just live their convictions, and keep them out of the papers.
But Ronnie Price, now he "WORKED" Sunday, and WORKED" Walton. I wonder if Bill and Luke can get us a signed copy of that poster...
Now, that would be worth some $$$. Anything to silence papa Walton.
Signed,
"Judge in Israel"

Respect your religion.
Allow others to respect their own, in the way they feel it necessary.
Larry Miller has commented that the Brethren have asked him to keep the Jazz in Utah because it brings opportunities for the Church.
Miller's a good guy.
Not a perfect guy.
He may still have to do an interview on t.v. on Sunday; he's a celebrity.
However, I think he feels different when he's screaming at officials, giving high-fives, and being all worked up, than he does doing an interview on the news.
I think his heart is in the right place, and I respect that.
So, everyone quit complaining about LDS people sharing their religion when they're in the spotlight. I, for one, am glad they do. They are trying to open their mouths, and whether or not they do it YOUR way, doesn't matter to THEIR salvation.

RE: Judge in Israel | 8:56 p.m. May 13, 2008
You get bent because LHM doesn't practice your religion the same way you
do, because you can't explain it to your friends. Instead of telling
others to live the way you do, how about telling your friends that your religion
is no different than any others and everyone is unique in exactly how they live
it!
I have a friend who is active LDS who has an adult beverage from time to time... big deal, he can practice his faith his way and I am not going to bent about it.

Why do people care about LHM and his religious practices? Quit casting stones.
I care about Ronnie Price. He was amazing to watch during college and continues
to be a lot of fun in the pros. But better than that--he is a humble person who
works hard. He's not a glory hog. Just a fine upstanding young man. Go
Price!! Go JAZZ!!
Joe Moe | 11:01 p.m. May 13, 2008
Yet another thread degraded into a re-hash of some previous conversation......
It's not about LHM and his Sunday preferences.
It's about Price and the foul.
I'm 100% with price: no suspension warranted. I honestly wouldn't have complained if the ref's agreed to a Flagrant 1 call and never even ejected him. If Price had caught himself a little differently, he wouldn't have even been hurt, and they refs probably would have not ejected Turiaf. Bad luck for Turiaf how Price landed.
I'm way stoked for tomorrow's game. The Jazz have some momentum and a fair shot at this game. I hope a win doesn't come because of an injured Kobe, but I'll be happy regardless. If Boozer has even an average game, and the rest play like they have, the Jazz can take game 5.
Go Jazz!

Surprised | 11:19 p.m. May 13, 2008
I still find it odd that a man *trying* to keep the Sabbath holy is a news
story. The LDS Church isn't the only religion in the country that believes
Sunday is the Sabbath. Isn't the rest of the country mostly Christian?
Don't most, if not all, Christian churches believe Sunday is the
Lord's Day and should be a day of rest? Just because Utah is mostly one
religion people feel the need to have a religion story with every event in Utah.
One man trying to live his religion, despite his celebrity status in the state,
is not a news story.
Back to this article | 11:19 p.m. May 13, 2008
Um, back to the actual article, Ronnie Price showed a lot of class by wanting it
to stay competitive. To be quite honest, I was actually surprised Turiaf was
ejected, considering some of the other flagrant 1's that have occurred
throughout the league this playoffs. Let's hope Price gets more playing
time in the future and becomes a great representative of UVSC, er, UVU!
I predict a close game 5. Don't know who will win...

Millions of people try to live their religion, no story.
When one does, asks for media to go with him, and makes all of his employees break the sabbath, it's sort of a story.
The story I want to read is how Papa Walton feels about his son getting swatted by Price.
Oh, and re:Judge, your active LDS friend with the adult beveridge... Like Miller, between him and his maker... not me, not you... bringing it up was not relevant.

I think the NBA got it right on the non-suspension of Turiaf. He did however
deserve the ejection he got during the game. The flagrant foul comes almost 2
full seconds after the whistle was blown...can't blame the guy for being
all caught up in the moment...but you can eject him! Good call on both ends.
Go Jazz...Go LHM...Go Price...Win it all...PLEASE!!!
Go Jazz...Go LHM...Go Price...Win it all...PLEASE!!!

Did Price sign the NBA he tatted on Waltons head?
Re: Re: Geezer | 12:33 a.m. May 14, 2008
40 stitches is an urban legend. That would have left a huge scar that was never
there.

I'm a California native and life-long Laker fan who's been living in
Utah for the past 10 years. Game 4 was awesome, and I have to credit the Jazz
for playing great in OT. The ONLY complaint I had was the call on Turiaf. Yes,
foul indeed, and yes Flagrant 1 was warranted, but Flagrant 2 and ejection was
uncalled for. Also, I think the refs missed the T that should have gone on Price
for getting in Turiaf's face after the whistle when Turiaf was trying to
line up for the foul shots he was expecting Price to take.
Turiaf and Price are both classy individuals (if you don't know anything about Turiaf, read up) and I agree with Price that this is the playoffs, people act in the heat of things. I do not believe there was any harm intended by Turiaf, it was just a hard foul, but I also believe the refs let one slide for Price by allowing him to react in the manner he did. So Flagrant 1 for Turiaf, and a T for Price. Calm them both down, and play on. I like this Jazz team...but GO LAKERS!

Isaiah Thomas got seven stitches when he ran into Karl Malone's elbow. I
have heard as many as 142 stitches from uninformed jerks like you. Get the
facts straight or keep out of the commentary. Ever heard of "opening your
mouth and removing all doubt?" You removed all doubt in my eyes.
