What are we, British? Is it really necessary to adopt the ugly little habit of using PLURAL conjugations with SINGLE organizations?
Whenever you refer to a sports franchise, the plural is correct.
The Grizzlies are playing next week.
The Bees are a good team.
The Jazz are awesome.
**"What are we, British? Is it really necessary to adopt the ugly little habit of using PLURAL conjugations with SINGLE organizations?"**
Utah Jazz = SINGLE organization
New Orleans Hornets = SINGLE organization
Jazz IS "Deron Williams' team"
Hornets IS or ARE??? It's a single organization, but you will have to use ARE there my friend AND use ARE with the Jazz because the s is implied as with deer and deer.
It's confusing.
But when I saw "What are we, British?" I thought you were referring to identifying a team by one player, like David Beckham. . . oh, that would be Los Angeles now wouldn't it.
That will give you an indication of the overall quality of his play (assuming that he plays at the same level he has for the last couple of years).
Could someone now chip in and give us a lesson on Utah Jazz history?
I have heard it is sloans team.
I have now heard it is derons's team.
Who is it really?
If you refer to the team by the location or school, such as "Utah" "BYU" or as an entity, (like "team" or "squad") then it is singular.
I'm excited the Jazz got Knight. I think he'll be a great player off the bench. Now if only they can do something about that lack of interior defense ...
I always cringed when Hart would pull up for a shot, but then again, I always cringed when Kirilenko pulled up for a 3 last season too, even though he was much better at it than previous seasons.
Anywho, I'm happy for the trade and think it'll be better for the team.
i've wanted brevin to be signed by utah for awhile now. good that they got him for jason hart. i feel bad for him, but as he said, things just didnt work out. brevin doesnt turn the ball over..hes solid..thats what you need to bring off the bench. things are lookin up for us guys!
With Brevin, the Jazz when playing with a small line up, they can play Brevin at the point and Williams at shooting guard. When the Jazz have two players, that can handle the ball at the same time, that's when the Jazz are at their best. Go Brevin! and Go Jazz!
Does it make you feel brilliant calling for ridiculuous trades? The Knight trade was a great trade for the simple fact that the Jazz got something for nothing.
But, as far as the trade goes, Brevin is an upgrade over Hart & really aren't we just talking about the 3rd (maybe 2nd) string point guard? How big of an impact - barring injuries - can he really have?
Go Jazz!
Rick, I thought Raja was a good fit and beleive he'd be a welcome addition, but the way he left tells me he wanted out and I doubt he'd want to come back.
It'll be fun watching the point this year.
Lets hope Brevin will be a positive influence in the locker room. Seems that normally players who bounce from team to team aren't.
You stand corrected. The Wasatch range is part of the rockies:
The Central Rockies are in northeastern Utah, western Wyoming, eastern Idaho, and southern Montana. They encompass the Bighorn, Beartooth, and Uinta mountains and the Absaroka, Wind River, Salt River, Teton, Snake River, and Wasatch ranges. The Uinta Mountains are the only major portion of the Rockies that extends east-west rather than north-south. Among the peaks of the Central Rockies, which include Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks, are Gannett Peak (4207 m/13,804 ft high), Grand Teton (4,197 m/13,771 ft high), and Fremont Peak (4185 m/13,730 ft high). (Information from MSN Encarta)
And, by the by, is "Jazz" singular? If it is would you please help me with the plural version.
Knight is a great fit for the Jazz. He'll provide a much better presence off the bench than either Hart or Price did last year. And a little veteran leadership can go a long way.
Accept the fact that yer team is mediocre at best. No one wants to live in a State full of complaining fans like ya all. Maybe a different approach such as a positeev attitude make be wiser for ya all.
I was Educated in Utah and proud of it. You should all be proud to be Jazz fans and stop the whining.
Wait and see..
I like the trade for knight, I thought there was a leadership void when Fisher left. Unfortunately the Jazz are looking more and more like chumps for letting Fisher go to the Lakers despite their good intentions, they should have insisted that he go to the Knicks.
I think the only reason the backup point guard only got 8 minutes a game last year was because of the big drop off from Williams. I see Knight getting 15-20 a night with Williams playing a little 2 guard.
The official plural of Ya'll is ALL YA'LL!
BTW I too am excited for BK to come here! Hopefully, Hot Rod will not have too many problems pronouncing his name!!!!!
