Utah Jazz's best yet to come?
70 comments | Read story
right, and most of the Rocket's prime-time players are injured. scary that they're still competing right?
i mean, imaging if the jazz would have lost DWill, their Backup PG, and either Boozer or Okur halfway through the season. there's NO WAY they'd be here today, and the Rockets would be owning them if that were the case.
By the way Alston is a considered a prime time player - LOL nice try!!!
You better said "i jealous UTAH fans". I am sure it would be more polite which i invite.
GO MEMO , GO JAZZZZZZZ
Great point by the way all you HOU fans about last year HOU losing after being up 2-0. Of course, losing the first 2 on your home court is much different than losing the first 2 away from home.
I love how y'all keep crying about your injuries. Keep dreaming about how sweet things would have been if you had all of your starters (the same ones who lost in the 1st round last year too).
And to our little confused friend Sam Darley... If you can take Deron 1on1 then why aren't you playing for the Rockets? Cause not even your superstar Alston can take him.
Remember Houstonians, it's not the starters that are making the difference here. The Jazz bench is beating you. That's how bad you are. Sniffle Sniffle ya bunch of cry whining babies. See ya next year.
Even though I am not a big NBA fan, it has been fun to watch the Jazz this year. Go Utah!
There's other teams in the west and one in the east that won't give the Jazz any slack. Slack that they have been getting with these crypled Rockets.
WITH THAT SAID.....
IT'S TIME TO START WORRYN' BOUT THE LAKERS...OUCH BABE....THIS IS A TEAM WITH A GREAT DEAL OF TALENT, A TEAM THE JAZZ HAVEN'T HAD MUCH LUCK WITH LATELY...WE HAVE NO ANSWER WHATSOEVER FOR KOBE...I THINK MEMO AND AK CAN AT LEAST 'CONTAIN' GASOL..ONE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT FISHER SHOOTS THE BALL LIKE HE DID THE 'MAJORITY' OF THE TIME HE PLAYED FOR UTAH..THIS WILL BE TOUGH ONE...I KNOW I'D MUCH RATHER SEE US PLAY THE HORNETS WHERE I COULD WATCH DWILL DISMANTLE CP3....
And ENOUGH of this "we didn't have Yao" crap. Do a little number crunching why don't you. You had a higher winning percentage without the man.
And also, enough of the Jazz, worst road team, blah, blah, blah. If you take a serious look at their wins and their losses you'll see that they actually had a winning road record since December, and many of those wins were HUGE, against big teams. They blew out both Boston and New Orleans on their home courts. PLUS, they just added two more road wins against Houston. They didn't have BAD road record, they just didn't have quite the road record that other teams in the west had, and everyone has exaggerated that into them guaranteed to lose on the road. So quit spouting off without first doing your reasearch.
Are you serious? T-mac is unstoppable in the 4th? If Im thinking right, he has a combined 1 point in the 4th in the first two games. He = championship? Before he could equal that he would have to get past the 1st round. Be honest with yourself, you have never watched a game, but wanted to sound smart. Well your an idiot. Go Jazz. Look for Dwill to own Rafer tonight. To think otherwise is a joke.
You'd better check your facts. D-Will is pretty much the only person in the league who has consistently gotten the better of Paul. Both D-Will and CP3 have taken Kidd to the woodshed this season.
We'll get a better idea of Pauls dominance when they play the Spurs or Suns in the next round.
Jason Kidd has seen better days.
I don't see Alston making the Rockets any worse...then I could be wrong...
I wish the Jazz could play a healthy Rox team, then we could really see what the Jazz is really made of.
This is no contest.
Jazz can (and will if needed) win this series without great production from their starts...but that won't get them anywhere in the next round. They need to be on top of their game to beat the Lakers. Lakers pose serious matchup problems for the Jazz as it is.
Go home Houston. Maybe we'll see you again in the first round next year.
To everybody responding to phil brandly,
That is obviously a mock post as nobody can really be that dumb. So quit responding.
Houston is a great team. They are very good defensively and capable of an explosive offense. If Alston, Battier, and T-mac get hot from 3 jazz are in trouble. I am sure the jazz will win the series but I would not be surprised if the rockets managed to win one at ESA. I also would not be surprised if the games were still close. With that said I think Houston deserves some credit. Even if they (and some of their fans) are the very definition of un-sportsmam like whinners they play ball very well.
