Ah, nice to see this thread again. I forgot about it. Sort of funny to read back over the posts from this summer. Like how the Clippers are currently the worst team in the league! And Miami isn't looking too good either.

Go Jazz!

I wonder if that "Go Lakers" was sarcastic? I can't see any other reason to post it after the Jazz trashed them on Friday night.

Kings fan AND Laker fan? That makes no sense.

KingsFan#1 · #**328** Posted **Nov 29, 2010, 1:58 AM**

and warriors, but kings the most.

Why does it not make since, the two teams used to be rivals, but now they're just two teams, one good, and one not so good. If the two become rivals again, i'll stick with the kings, but i like alot of the players on the lakers, so I like the team. As for the jazz and nuggets, both are kind of just there.

Also, nuggets fans are going to be going through the same thing the kings went and are kind of still going through, because billups is old and melo is propably gonna go to new york. At that point, your star players will be afflalo and nene

, not to be mean, I'm only speaking the truth

FrancoRey · #**329** Posted **Nov 29, 2010, 3:08 AM**

Go Nuggets....I'll agree.

Haven't been paying as much attention yet since the season just started. But yes, things could look way different in Denver in just a few months. Our organization is teetering right now. Who knows what direction it will go in.

Go Jazz! Winners of 7 straight!

Hey Kingsfan, how about your Kings and Lakers? Combined they went 0-9 this week. That's fun. Even as a bandwagon fan you can't get wins.

..................and you just jinx it. That's why I haven't said anything about it. When ever in the past I've brought up how well the Jazz are playing or how many games they have won in a row that's when they start to lose.

Jazz never seem to do well during those so called "Big games" that all of the NBA is watching.

scottharding · #**333** Posted **Dec 4, 2010, 10:40 PM**

haha, sorry projects. That must be tough to be superstitious. I'll be careful of that from now on. Anything to help the Jazz.

I'm just giving you crap. You can talk about the Jazz. I'm really not that superstitious, but when it comes with the Jazz I tend to be. Oh well. I hope they play good tonight at Dallas. That will be a tough one since it's a back end of a back-to-back and they play a hot team that has won 11 in a row. Dallas has to lose at some point so it might as well be tonight.

scottharding · #**335** Posted **Dec 12, 2010, 12:38 AM**

Oh, I know Projects, and I literally felt a little bad, cuz it was funny that right after I posted that, and you warned me, they lost! haha.
I'm with you. Let's home the Jazz set right my mistake tonight!

SLC Projects · #**336** Posted **Dec 12, 2010, 5:46 PM**

Well they didn't. Sorry. Kind of hard for any team to win when they start out being down 29-4. That has to be some kind of record. The Jazz came back to tie late in the 3rd ( I think ), but Dallas is just unstoppable right now. I think it could be Dallas and Miami finals.
This was a hard week for the Jazz having to play Miami, then Orlando and then Dallas the following nights. I hate back to backs. The NBA shouldn't do those. It's unfair for any team to have to play a game on the road or at home and then right after that game they have to hop on a plane to fly out somewhere to have to play another game less then 24 hours later. No time to rest. Oh well. Next week should be better for them. Still they went 2 and 2 this week so not too bad.

scottharding · #**337** Posted **Dec 12, 2010, 7:00 PM**

Yeah, Dallas is brutal this season. Miami is coming on, but I just don't see them getting by the Celtics. I think Dallas/Boston would be a great finals series, but a lot can happen before then.
Back to backs suck, and my understanding is that the Jazz play more back to backs because they don't play home games on Sundays. So a bit of a disadvantage there.

Boisekid · #**338** Posted **Dec 13, 2010, 12:17 AM**

Next 7 games for Utah seem pretty winnable:

vs Golden State W
@ New Orleans W
@ Milwaukee L (b2b)
@ Cleveland W
@ Minnesota W
vs Portland W
@ LA Clippers W

I know most are road games, but the only tough one should be New Orleans and last I checked, DWill is like 13-3 against his buddy Chris Paul. Jazz should win 6 of their next 7, they'll slip up somewhere. Sittin at 23-9 would be pretty good. Then only 1 of their next 9 opponents will be against playoff teams from last year (that being Atlanta at home). Jazz could/should go on a nice run here. Seems like some of the toughest part of the schedule may be behind them.

Lookin at their schedule i think they'll be 40-16 at the All-Star break. Sorry for the long post, I just now realized there was a Mountain West NBA Thread

The Mavericks PA Announcer is so annoying. "DE-FENSE!!!! - DE-FENSE!!!" or "TIMEOUT UUUUUTAH!!!!"

That is true. Miami and Orlando are out of the way, as well as two Dallas games and two OKC games.

So far this season the Jazz are......

1-1 VS Miami
2-0 VS Orlando
1-1 VS OKC
0-2 VS Dallas

1-0 VS Lakers

Jazz need to find a way to beat Dallas.
