Utah Jazz

[FF]

here's an interesting quote from lebron james on the trash talking that goes on during nba games :

 

Since coming into the NBA, James has engaged in some heated trash talk with the Celtics, whom he says are among the league's chattiest squads. "They're up there," he said. "Them and the Pistons. They talk but they back it up. Sometimes it can get annoying, but they can back it up." So who's the quietest team? "Utah," he said. "They don't say nothing, they just kick your butt."

 

 

yup ... sounds like jerry's squad to me. :hypocritesmiley:

SI POLL: According to a Sports Illustrated survey of 242 NBA players appearing in this week's issue, 20 percent — more than any other building in the league — believe EnergySolutions Arena is "the most intimidating arena to play in as a visitor." :thumbsupsmiley:

Dati pa naman di ba? Panahon pa ng Delta Center when they have the Ostertag-Malone-Russell-Horny-Stock when they became Western champs twice in a row. I remember that their only rival to that distinction were the fans of the Sacramento Kings in Arco Arena when they have the Divac-CWebb-Stoja-Christie-JWill starting five!

...because you're playing in a waste dump

 

ahhhh .... so that's where that winning GLOW was coming from! :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley:

brings back memories podnuh! unfortunately , the rivalry was only good for about two years as the jazz descended into mediocrity and the kings ascended to supremacy in the west.

 

back to normal programming ... the jazz remain the HOTTEST team in the league ( the Geiger counter must be going crazy eh howard ? ) as utah won their 10th game in a row over division rivals denver !

 

this from espn .com :

 

Kyle Korver's 27 points, including four free throws in the final 19 seconds of overtime, powered the Utah Jazz to a 118-115 thriller over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night.

 

Korver's two free throws with 19.3 seconds remaining gave the Jazz a 116-115 lead, and after a timeout, Allen Iverson, who scored 34 points, was short on a jumper from the left corner with 5 seconds left.

 

Korver got the rebound, drew the foul and sank two more free throws.

 

The Nuggets had one last shot at sending the game into double-overtime, but Anthony Carter, 0-for-4 in the extra period, was short on a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

 

Utah improved to 16-2 since acquiring Korver from the Philadelphia 76ers on Dec. 29, surging past Denver and Portland and into the lead in the Northwest Division.

Sorry sir but i have to comment and disagree with this.

Well agree that Jazz fell out of the playoffs twice but Kings ascended to supremacy??!! When?? They never even reached WCF.

I believe they did reach the Conference Finals but of course, they didnt' win it. (vs. the Lakers if I'm not mistaken)

yup they did. however that was it for the kings who never reached the same level of competitiveness again. btw the jazz play the kings next at Arco. from being one of the lousiest road teams in the league , the jazz have reeled off FIVE straight road wins. will they win their sixth straight and 11th overall ? stay tuned ...

 

btw apologies to fellow jazz fanatic tanis. okay supremacy might be too royal a word for the kings. let's see ... "ascended to the western elite". maybe that's more like it.

I've always cheered for two NBA teams year in and year out. THe first one would be where my favorite player suits up and the second would be where my next would be idol's suiting up. In short, namamana ang loyalty ko.

 

My first NBA team's the Lakers because I'm a Magic Johnson fan. By late 80's it was the Lakers and the Jazz because I was impressed when I saw how John Stockton plays (I've always idolized point guards). So when Magic retired, I became a die-hard Utah Jazz fan! Then came Jason Kidd in 1993. My teams became Jazz and Mavericks, and then Jazz and Suns. I literally cried when Air Jordan beat our Jazz for the second time for Jordan's 6th title in 1998 (?).

 

Stockton retired and Jason Kidd transferred to the Nets. So here I am now. So you see, Jerry Sloan and the Jazz holds a place in my heart (and the LAkers, too) because I've supported these teams before.

 

After Kidd? I don't have a second team yet. Deron Williams and Chris Paul both earned my fancy because they can both score and run offensive sets. Pero sa totoo lang medyo mas bilib ako kay CP3 kahit hirap manalo ang Hornets niya sa Jazz.

 

THe Jazz are hot right now.. let's see. Btw, my next favorite player in Jazz uniform's AK47 but that's before Kyle Korver arrived.

Hot Jazz Burn Warriors !

 

Deron Williams had 29 points and 12 assists, and the Utah Jazz overcame a shaky first quarter to beat the Golden State 119-109 on Tuesday night, sweeping the season series against the Warriors.

 

All-Star Carlos Boozer had 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Mehmet Okur also had a double-double with 16 points and 10 boards. Andrei Kirilenko added 18 points for the Jazz, who have won 13 of 14.

Utah is a scary team right now... - from a Houston fan here

thanks for visiting SoulMTC! deron is on a mission , okur is getting his shot back , ak47 has found his place in the team and korver spreads the floor with his 3 point shooting.

 

but then ... the rockets aren't bad themselves ... nine straight wins right ? :thumbsupsmiley:

[FF]

the jazz complete a tough four games in five nights road swing through the east ; falling against the bulls and nets and winning against the bucks and the celtics. again utah is doing it's best jekyll and hyde impersonation ... almost unbeatable at home ( winning 18 straight ; 28-3 overall - best in the nba ) and just 16-21 on the road.

 

with the west race so tight ( just 4 games separate the 1&8 seeds in the west ) , utah's upcoming 8 game homestand should help in securing the jazz a playoff seat.

magaling din itong utah, akala ko after mawala ni stockton and malone, tapos na rin ang utah... hindi pa pala hehehe
