But I give him an A for the acting job to get yet another BAD CALL!!! Paaalease.

Melo's a beeoch....Smith can't hit the broad-side of a barn outside of Denver....K-mart is just that "K-MART", a cheap store everyone can afford that sells crap. So I hope your lame ASS tunes into watching the second round JAZZ vs them FAKERS.

LOL, that was funny. The Chicken Nuggets have NEVER even been to the finals. The only "Conference titles" they have was one they won back in 1976, but I believe that was the Denver Rockets? Not the Nuggets. So that doesn't really count then. But if you Nuggets fans want to count that then us Jazz fans might as well count that the Utah Stars won the 1971 ABA Championship. Case and point......When it comes with professional basketball Utah has been to the finals more then Denver. Maybe one day Denver you guys will make the finals in the NBA.

Trash talking is one thing, speaking correctly is another.

Keep it civil and literate, folks.

[TonyAnderson]

No chance in the most intimidating place to play in the NBA, Nuggets. Sorry.

[FrancoRey]

All I ask is that you beat all the other douches left in the West. You would be the only one I support, since I hate the Fakers and the Spurms. Phoenix is okay I guess, but then that would mean supporting those who once trash-talked the worst of us three teams in this forum.

Good luck, Utah, you're gonna need it.

Utah will wrap this up Friday.

This.

[scottharding]

Wow, what a game. Both teams showed some metal. And the refs called it even. They called A LOT, but they did call it both ways. 91 total freethrows between the two teams, and both shot terrible from the freebee line.
Good win for the Jazz. We are the poster team of underdogs. The Boozer/Williams era has now won four playoff series, and had home court for only one of them. The Jazz have one- that's right, ONE- player on their team right now that was a lottery pick, and that's Deron Williams. Every other player was a late first round at best. Booz, Millsap, CJ, Okur, all second rounders. Mathews, Price, Gaines, all undrafted. But look at what they accomplish. I love it. It's so fun to root for them.
Go Jazz. For the love of God, shake the mental funk and give the Lakers Hell!

Yes the Jazz just ended the Nuggets season tonight. Guess that would be a pretty good day for us then.


I guess we now know who the TRUE northwest division champions are. Sure Denver might have won the northwest ( barely ) but we're the ones who will be moving on and sending you guys home for your long summer break.

I know you're happy projects, and I hate to be THAT guy, but I just want to remind you of this:

And what happened? They went on a 9 game win streak, had a terrific win-loss ratio starting in January, and are now in the western semi-finals.

And my favorite MLB team, the Red Sox, are doing the same thing right now, yet I remain hopeful. It's a LONG season and plenty can happen... it's like a reverse murphy's law.

Also, I'm not bringing this up to belittle you, just reminding you to stay optimistic when it comes to the Jazz and the slump they usually go through at some point in the season.

[TonyAnderson]

If the Jazz don't win it all, and I don't think they will, I'd love to see Phoenix and Steve Nash get a title.

And where's Greenbro when you need him? It would be nice to rub this in his Blazer-loving face.

[scottharding]

I'm with you Tony, on the Suns being my second pick behind the jazz. I'll definately be hoping to see them beat San Antonio. I'd love to see a Utah/Pheonix match up in the Western conference finals.

[Ronald-Dregan]

I would not like to see the suns...

We swept San Antonio

[shakman]

IMO Steve Nash deserves a ring; no if, and or buts. I like the Jazz but it would be nice to see the Suns win it all just so Nash can have a title as part of his Hall of Fame resume.

[TonyAnderson]

And Grant Hill

[blm3034L!fe]

Break out the Brooms LA is going to Sweep Utah!!! I hope neither Utah or LA make it to the SHIP! Well I guess I should rephrase that, I hope LA doesn't make it to the SHIP. Go PHX take out LA then Le-bra and the Cavs!!!

[cadetwhite]

^Yeah, for all the shit utah fans talked in here it will be a pleasure to watch the Lakers beat them down, and I've never rooted for the Lakers in my life!

[TonyAnderson]

It is a bit amusing that you'd cheer for a rival that knocked you out of a chance at the Finals last year, but I don't blame you cadet. A less talented Jazz team with two key injuries beat up on a better Nuggets team. That has to REALLY hurt as a fan. A Nuggets team that had a shot this year to get to the finals, but instead just proved talent doesn't beat toughness. The Lakers have proven they have both, and I don't think it's a surprise to any Jazz fan that we lost both in LA. The fact that we were in both games and gave ourselves a chance to win is really the most I could hope for. We did the same in Denver and were able to get one, but this time we just barely came up short.

I'm loving the extra recognition the team is getting, as well as Salt Lake City and the incredible fans of Utah.

[cadetwhite]

^to be honest . . . I'd argue if I could. It was clear that Denver didn't put out playoff effort (except for a couple players). Utah wanted it more, they won it legitimately and I'll concede that. It kills me, cause the nuggets can be an amazing team when they get their shit together, they showed that in their regular season games against the Lakers. Until George Karl is back to 100% the nuggets are going nowhere, he is their backbone.

You guys are just pissed, because you guys got owned by the Jazz in the first round. Enjoy your long summer Denver. At least we can agree on never rooting for the Lakers.
