Comments about ‘Utah Jazz's best yet to come?’

If Jazz have any hopes of beating the Lakers they need to sweep Houston this would give the Jazz a huge confidence boost as well as a little rest to heal their bodies because i believe Denver will win one of their home games against the Lakers but that will be it so the Jazz need the sweep of this series

Does anyone in Utah believe the Jazz will win rings this year? I can't believe Utah isn't talking about this. This is Utah's year to break through. No team plays better or has more depth. I think it is time to start talking about only being satisfied with a championship. No excuses.

lol - "Utah's two prime-time players haven't come even close to showing the right stuff."

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.

Your comment makes sense, but it's completely random and totally out of context. Nothing was said in the article concerning the Rockets, only that Williams and Boozer are playing as good as they have all season. You may want to read the article again and then post a relevant comment...

The Jazz are one defensive minded role-playing big man away from being in the finals for a while. One big man who can come in for either Booz or Memo and crash the boards, block shots and play sold defense. Other than that we have all the pieces in place.

The Jazz are owning the Rockets by being up 2-0 after the games in Houston. They beat the Rockets last year with all the stars healthy and ready to play. Injuries are part of the game. What if the Lakers lost Kobe, Hornets CP3, and so on. The NBA teams swing on the hinges of players injuries. That is how it goes. The true test to your assessment of "Houston is competing" is now that the series moves to Utah. Each team play better on their home court and Houston still lost both games. Competing is winning at home in the playoffs and stealing a win on the road in each series.

What are you talking about? Since when are the Rockets competing? They are down 2-0. Both games were relatively close but that is because they were home games and the Jazz were in complete control of both games. As for the injuries, I think you're trying to say that if Yao was playing the Rockets would win. I think that happened last year and the results were the same.

You can't do what if's. Tracy McGrady is their team so it what if Houston would have lost McGrady and the other playesr where healthy. They wouldn't be even be in the playoffs. The Rockets are overated and we just went in and took two games from them. Stop your crying about the injuries and accept the fact that the Jazz is going to sweep.

By the way Alston is a considered a prime time player - LOL nice try!!!

Get over it.

Enjoy it while you can, LA won't lay down for the Jazz like Houston has.

Me and Bruss will be at the Street before the game. We'll get Oystered up and go to the game and cheer on the NewJazz with Suds and Larry Miller. Sloan is looking better all the time and Phil Johnson may be the Best assistant coach in the league. Deron Williams is way better than Torrey Ellis. He and Chris Paul Keeler are the two best PG's in the leaugue......PERIOD. McCrybaby will be in earshot range of the boys. Hope he doesn't cry again.

You people forgot that the Houston Rockets had a 2-0 series lead and lost so therefore it is still anyone's series. I am a Rockets fan so I hate UTAH, they are lucky that I don't officiate otherwise I would throw Boozer, Williams, Okur, and Kirilenko out because they are a bunch of school girls. If I was playing point guard for Houston I would school D-FAKE ( Deron Williams).

That you would even suggest that Rafer "the throat slicer" Alston or Francis is even in the same league as williams is ridiculous. Williams is McGrady with a Playoff killer instinct. And without Booz we would still be beating your team, might not sweep but be sure we would win

Keep on Dreaming tharpey, The Jazz smoked them last year with YoYo the man made of glass!

It is going to be fun watch the Jazz get smoked by the Lakers.

To point out again, your comments are not relevant nor are they very logical. Mentioning that the Rockets are competing is not that big a deal. All NBA teams can put a few good players on the floor and maybe compete. However the columns that are recorded are not W-L-C. You only get credit for a W and competing (C) is forgotten. The article is not about imagining if Utah had lost its 2-3 best players. It is about their 2 best players not even shining and still they have recorded 2 Ws to the Rockets 2 Ls. Pretty straight-forward.

Why aren't the Jazz blowing out the Rockets, Houston is already a so-so team when they have all their starters. Now, it's just T-Mac and a bunch of rookies, the Jazz should be winning by at least 15-20 even 30 points. These games are coming down to the wire when the series should be a piece of cake. They look like they're having a harder time this year than last year. This should be a major cause for concern when they finally play a team that is 100%.

The Jazz have done much better when the two big players havent done so well. I believe the rest of the team does better when there more involved.Its much more difficult to guard five men rather than only two

Tharpey, as I have previously noted, the Rockets lost Yao, and had the playoffs started when they had them, they may not have even made it. Since they "Lost" Yao, they went on their little 22 game streak. That's pretty darn good I must say. The team that the Jazz are playing in the playoffs right now, is the Rockets that made the playoffs. The Rockets that earned the home court advantage over the Jazz. The Rockets that have a better record than the Jazz. You can blame it on injuries all you want, but these are the boys that were beating everybody. Deal with it, the Jazz are out playing the REAL Rockets team.

You HATE Utah ??? What kind of saying is that ?!!
You better said "i jealous UTAH fans". I am sure it would be more polite which i invite.

GO MEMO , GO JAZZZZZZZ
