I'm glad he cleared that up....hahahaha.
But in all fairness, he has to say things like that so the Spazz fans will understand him because they're not that smart.
GO MEMO , GO JAZZZZZZ
Go Jazz! Take game 6!!!
Brewer plays more minutes, especially when he is kicking butt. Pretty boy Korver stays on the bench while CJ substitutes.
DWill continues his warrior play as well as Price.
It's not a hard concept. Although it seems to be for the Jazz.
Go Jazz!
Boozer: go strong, have fun and quit looking for the calls to go your way.
AK: no 3 point shots in the 4rth Quarter
Harpring: Make your baseline jumper
Milshap: more playing time, turn into the offensive force you can be
Korver: shoot a better percentage
This team will NEVER win a championship with Jerry. 20 years and nothing. What is one more? He refuses to sit his stars who don't show up and play those who are always ready to show up. While boozer gives us 5 turnovers on his own CJ and the D league MVP polish the pine . . .
Being relatively uninterested in the Lakers, I don't see many of their games. How long has LA been doing the 'Spotlight-on-the-court-while-everything-else-is-dark' thing? I've never liked the Lakers, but I've got to admit that playing in a darkened arena is an exceptionally good home court trick, especially with transparent backboards.
Players talk about how hard it can be to shoot in an arena that isn't familiar to them, because it feels like the angles are off (I can only assume they are talking about the general layout of the arena throwing them off). I'd imagine nothing but darkness behind the backboards can really throw a shooter off. Congrats to the Lakers for creating a stronger home court advantage. More teams should be so creative.
Quit whining about the refs already....I live in SoCal, and the laker fans are whining just as much as you are, and it is pathetic...Stop already.
Jazz will win game 7
You would think this is good right.....not when you live down here in SoCal.....
The beaching and moaning will begin right after the game.....
There is a team option on Millsap.
The Jazz will more than likely sign Williams to a max this summer.
But they have pretty much the whole team next year!
If you hate the Jazz and their fans so much, why do you follow them, and post about them on the internet? Personally, if I hated a team, I'd stay far away from that team and their sites. But, some people are classless and just like to bash because they can't control their hatred. If that makes you happy...so be it.
The game last night gave New Orleans reason to be crying about the officiating too. It's the playoffs and it's part of "home-cooking".
TO JOE: CJ Miles is the only "free-agent". Millsap has a team option on him. But the team should look the same next year.
It's so sad to watch the Lakers take uncontested shots on us like we're not even there. Stop playing scared, The Lakers are not that great...
If we can't get more out of Boozer and AK, we should package them for a big man (center or pf)
As for officiating, it goes both ways, it comes out a wash, and really can't be blamed. The jazz need to be good enough to win either way. The only call the baffled me was the Lamar Odom dunk toward the end of the game that was pretty much uncontested but he got a foul shot. I really can't figure out who touched him. But unbiased analysis would probably find a similar call that went the other way.
Will the Jazz win the series? It seems like a long shot... but for me I thought watching this last game made it seem like they're at least good enough to win.
Go Jazz!
Th NBA needs to make things fair, and not so blatant.
Kobe diving into players, Gasol pusing in the back. Price gets slammed to the ground, and they finally make the call.
Michael to this day admits the push off.
Time for the NBA to just let the best team win, and stop the biased officiating.
It's subtle, but two or three noncalls can determine the momentum shifts and the outcome of a game. If a player gets mugged on one end with no call, often the other team ends up with a fast break at the other end. That's a four or five point swing, just because the ref wouldn't blow the whistle on an obvious foul by the home team. Two or three such noncalls often determine who wins.
Why have home teams won all but one game in the second round? The refs. No question about it. It takes a monster effort for any five guys to beat the other team's eight.
Okur---If you have good box-out position don't let yourself be pushed off of it then want a call, every possesion too critical
Korver--- Quit hurrying and put some arch on your long shots
Sloan---run the screen and cut where Korver gets the ball at the free throw line for a turn around jumper, Korver is burying it. Only see it once or so a game
Milsap--- No dumb fouls, get used to it you are the Jazz future
Boozer----Cmon man your tougher than that, no more finger rolls finish strong, move your feet on D
GO JAZZ YOU CAN DO IT I want to watch you guys play San Antonio
We already have plenty of people who can clog up the middle. We only have three sharp shooters from outside and they are Williams, Memo and Korver. By having more people that can shoot outside you open things up for everyone.
We had a slow start and were still able to come back.
We got down by 12 in the second quarter and down by 7 at the half, but went into the fourth quarter tied.
Despite all the whistles going LA's way we still kept things close for most of the fourth.
Carlos Boozer didn't show up, Millsap was in foul trouble, we had a lot of turn overs, and our defense was soft, and we were still within striking distance until the last minute of the game.
It is not hard to see that with a few small changes and a little bit of luck the Jazz can win the next two games. But only if they can snap back psycologically and really believe in themselves.
William,"Just like last year."
commissioner stern said he wanted to see the Lakers vs. the Lakers this year in the finals...He's going to get the Lakers there if he has to manipulate the game. I have just realized that Kobe's numbers are partly so great because he is a good foul-shot shooter who gets rewarded upwards of 20 foul shots per game.
I suck, but if I got 20 foul shots a game, I'd make at least 15 points...that's more points than a lot of players make.
The NBA is trying to develop a money-machine like Jordan by GIVING Kobe 30 points per game.
