supplementsph Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 i'm a loyal utah jazz fan, dating back to the days of mark eaton, thurl bailey, jeff malone, etc. i still liked the jazz even when they sucked after hornacek and stockton retired and malone went to la. now they're going back to the playoffs led by williams, boozer, memo, and ak47. they have a problem though in guarding the shooting guard position as shown by their games against the lakers (kobe), houston (tmac), even milwaukee (michael redd). they will either be the 3rd, 4th or 5th seed in the west, and in the first round they will most likely meet LA or Houston, which may mean an early exit Quote Link to comment

I'd place even money on the jazz anytime. coffee bets anyone ? Quote Link to comment

FF Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 but it will be hard for Utah to catch Phoenix, and San Antonio is on a hot streak as well, so my guess is the 4th seed, with Houston seeded 5th. with yao back, utah will have its hands full too early to tell. the standings show that the jazz still can catch up with the spurs and suns. a bad streak there , a key injury here and who knows ?

FF Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Thanks! I even got into an online bet with someone re that particular year --- ang saya saya! Pag may nagtatanong kung bakit kababae kong tao, mahilig ako sa basketball, I'd say na "kasi kabit ak ni Stockton.. yung nga lang, ayokong pa-convert ng Mormons. Hehehehe Sana makapanood ako ng Jazz game -- di ko kasi maabutan yung games nila on ESPN and wala naman yata sa Solar Sports. Seems this year's team is a good one na pwedeng ma-develop to the maximum. Go JAZZ! the jazz are on this march on BTV ! coming up, we have games against miami, cleveland,and washington! check out the sked at this link . http://www.btv.com.ph/schedules_nba.htm Quote Link to comment
clubber_lang Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I'm jealous with your team's fan support here in MTC. Fellatio, dumarami na angkan nyo dito ah! While over there at my Suns thread, I think there are only two of us who cheer for the team! Better get that 4th spot, Jazz. This team plays excellent ball in the postseason at home...

"pleasantly surprised" perfectly describes what i feel c.l.! but at the last head count ... it's just me,sponge bobby, lyssahot and now supplementsph. that's four fans to your two. maybe that's why you're jealous . we outnumber you two is to one !

clubber_lang Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 With Dallas having a run at the best record ever, Avery Johnson poses the biggest threat to Jerry Sloan's COY award... However, I still feel it is Sloan's year. FINALLY! Quote Link to comment
FF Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 Jazz Down Hornets ; win 6th straight ! Utah rolled to its sixth straight win 96-86 as the Jazz continued their solid play of late. Boozer had 20 pts and 13 boards while Okur scored 29 ; nailing 5 of 7 three pointers. Giricek (16 pts ) and Wililams (10 pts and 14 assists ) also combined for solid guard play. notes : the jazz outrebounded the hornets 30-13 in the 2nd half. the game was also the last game of a five game homestand. the jazz now go on the road with games at miami , philly and cleveland.

FF Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Miami burns Utah 88-86 Antoine Walker singlehandedly outscored the entire Jazz team , scoring all 13 of his points in the final 11 minutes as the streaking Heat erased a 17-point second-half deficit to beat the Utah Jazz 88-86 on Tuesday night. Miami was down 14 entering the fourth quarter before outscoring Utah 28-12 in the period to win their seventh straight game overall and 13th in a row at home. They moved within a half-game of idle Washington for the Southeast Division lead. "We choked, plain and simple," Jazz guard Deron Williams said. "We played good, aggressive basketball, but then we break down and don't do a good job in the fourth quarter. They outplayed us and outhustled us." Utah, which had its six-game winning streak snapped, was 14-0 in road games which it led entering the fourth. Quote Link to comment
clubber_lang Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 That turnover involving the three Jazz players led to their downfall... Quote Link to comment
