Let's finish this off tonight Jazz!

Mark

I loved the pregame ritual the Lakers had against the Jazz in 97. Just before they came out on the floor, the starters faced each other in a circle and, hand together, chanted "Utah goin' down, goin' down, goin' down."

Then we swept them. Nice!

I just can't believe that Denver didn't win a game. I guess that's what happens when you have the biggest ball hogger in your team in Melo. They didn't even challenge the Lakers. Kobe n co. are going to be fresh against the JAZZ
Looks like it will be spurs/hornets with spurs going to conf finals again.

I hope we beat the Lakers, I hate them. They cheated their way to get Gasol.

That was a cool article! I've seen them out there having fun before games, but never paid attention enough to notice who did what. Very cool!

JOE

Can we please get rid of the noun "Battle" in sports?

JOE

Buckle up everyone tonight will be a rough game Jazz will come out on top but it will be a hard fight then off to L.A. we go

To all those . . .

those Jazz sellouts,California wannabees, and kobe haters remeber this one thing, we have banner(s) that read World Champions in our center.

How many do you have? . . .

I agree with Ize. This is best article I ever read in this Jazz site. Stay in.

JC

Did anyone watch the pregame to game 3 of the lakers and nuggets? The nuggests mascot was great. I loved how he sat and read a paper with his back to the lakers when they were announcing the starters and he did it at the end of the line that the starters run down. Then the lakers made a circle around him and started jumping. I love seeing pregame stuff but I love how it is just fun and a has a few jokes in it.

Hating the lakers is second only to liking the Jazz for Jazz fans, and I doubt that will ever change. No complaint here--it's impossible not to hate them.

re: Joe

Mark was saying that the Jazz swept the Lakers and their pregame chant right off the floor...which makes it funny that they were saying "Utah goin' down, goin' down, goin' down"

Denver Mascot???

Is it still that guy from Utah State???

He is GREAT!!!

To All Those

Laker lovers, Utah Envy, Wooses. The only way the Lakers got those banners is the bought off the Refs.

re: Joe is correct, I meant the Jazz swept the Lakers, and boy was I elated with that. Let's do it again (after taking care of Houston).

Behold.

This article just shows that CJ is DEFINATELY worth keeping around.

How many NBA guys would have that type of attitude after being treated the way he has!

I also love how everyone now copies the Pistons and Sheed. There is only one man crazy enough to dance in a circle!

So . . . if you're going to call for Sloan's head, you DEFINITELY should spell the words you put in all caps correctly.

re: RPH

My bad.

Forgive me for being human

Fire/Retire Sloan (is that how it's spelled???)
