Comments about ‘Utah Jazz: Here comes Hollywood and the Lakers’

Well, folks, I might sound pretty crazy, but I would call the Jazz vs. Lakers series the "Deseret vs. Hollywood" series. This is because we have Utah, the center of the Mormon Church, and LA has Hollywood, the center of the worldly things and celebrities that influence most people in this world. I'm sorry if this comment might seem crazy, it's just my opinion. Everyone has certain predictions of their own about the playoffs.

GO JAZZ, and give credit to Fisher for helping us last year!

Lakers in 6
Go Lakers!!!

lakers are a great road team, probably the best in the league. jazz are awful on the road. i think the lakers will win the first two home games b/c they're well rested and steal either game 3 or 4 and then close it out at home in game 5. so, i like the lakers in 5. kobe will probably guard deron williams and the jazz have no answer to pau gasol. i'd expect a ginormous series for gasol.

Now is the chance for the league MVP to show it's really about helping the team win. Oh, and it's also time for the Jazz to send him packing. This should be a tough series.

What a stupid article! Exactly what I would expect from somebody writing off the top of their head without any work. I could read a better analysis on most blogs put up by fans. Give me something new, not just ridiculous and trite comparisons. So the Lakers play in L.A., and because Hollywood is nearby, that makes this all about movies and TV? Well, the Jazz play in the Energy Solutions Arena, which is trying to bring in radioactive waste, so maybe the Jazz will play as though a nuclear bomb could be detonated at any moment. And Deron Williams is the "most underrated player" in the NBA? What a joke. Every time he's on national TV, the announcers go on and on about how good he is, how he and Chris Paul are the jewels of their draft, how he controls the game, yet is dangerous offensively, how he's the best shooter on the Jazz, and that includes Hollywood-pretty Korver. Come on, DN, give us something worth reading. And Jazz fans, please don't boo Fisher when introduced at the ESC. He did what was best for his family and took a huge pay cut to do it.

The Lakers should sweep this series, especially if the Jazz fans boo Fisher again. Remember what happened the last time they did that? It got the whole team so mad that they played like mad demons. So please boo Fisher loudly in SLC. There's no better way to motivate Kobe and the other Lakers than by getting them mad.

Finesse vs. rough-and-toumble, this is going to be a fun series. While L.A. is favored, the Jazz could surprise even the ultra-wishy washy of Utah fans whose loyalty sometime is easily shaken. Diehards are going Jazz all the way. Utah will get blown out in game 1, win a hotly contested game 2 and two straight at home. From there it continues to be a guess. My heart says the Jazz in 6, but my brain says Lakers in 7. Go heart!!

There go the Jazz and their season!!.

You look at the Lakers as worldly and they look at Utah as FLDS. Go figure.

These are exact reasons why I HATE the Lakers. People seem to worship celebrities, who can't hold a marriage, swear up a storm, will do anything immoral for $, yet people follow them like they are the gods of the Earth. It's sickening and disgusting the way people are like sheep and follow such people. The fact that these people root for the Lakers is the only reason I can't stand the team.

I stay as far away from CA as possible. I'm glad I live several states away so I don't have to deal with them. Go Jazz and anyone who plays them.

Lakers in a sweep 4-0. The Jazz can't stop Pau or Kobe. It's gonna be a dose of there owe medicine. Pick and Roll or screen and roll. Lakers #1.

When the Jazz have an LDS player, you can talk. Otherwise, enjoy what will be a good series for Jazz fans to remember and sulk about all summer long.

Kobe will go to the line every time anyone in the stadium looks at him funny. Expect 20+ ppg from him in free throws. Oh, and don't expect Deron or Carlos to get the same treatment.

It was a good article, you are boring. Why knock someone down. If you didn't like it don't read it, that simple. Write something better for us.

Lakers just finished a series that showcased their talent where they could run and gun and leave defense at home. Utah won't allow that to repeat itself. Lakers may have the firepower to beat Utah but will have to do it honestly. They may run into more defense than it can handle. Kobe can deal with it but the rest of his team is mortal, contan Kobe aggravate the remainder of the team and Jazz may have a chance to steal one in LA. After that though, watch out for Phil, he has proven to be an outstanding coach and he has tons of talent to work with. Good thing it is the playoffs as the show will be worth it.

So put the "Jazz Fans Boo Fisher" thing right up there with the DC-8 rocketships bringing the Thetans to our world. By Xenu, that little bit of Laker dogma is getting old.

I was at the game. About 3 fans booed Fish. Those fans are idiots. The rest of us boo Kobe, a great basketball player who is also about as classy as Madonna. So go Utah, it's a long shot, but if anyone can, you can.

People will always boo players that leave their team to go to another team. It isn't personal, it is just sports. We root for our team, when someone ditches our team to make our rival stronger- something even Fisher lovers weren't too happy about- he can expect a few boos for a while. Its not cause we hate Fisher, its because we love the Jazz. Its nothing personal.

Wether won wins or looses should dipict our jot, its that one knows the truth! LDS should stand for latter day satanist...because there is no God glory in the Mormons story...

I agree with Rich, Derek Fisher doesn't deserve to be booed every time he touches the ball. He did great things here last year, and then did what he had to do because his family is more important to him than money or basketball. It was unlucky for us, but definitely wasn't malicious. He's not a traitor.

Response to opinion: Don't hate because the lakers are so popular. They finished first in the west so I think they might have some bragging rights. Lakers will definitely win the series, I hope they sweep but Utah will take one.

Maybe next year

Go Lakers, and go RSL too
