Why is no one talking about the UTAH JAZZ???

**WonTooManyBets** · 02-25-10, 11:11 AM

Nobody can match up with the Lakers in a 7 game series. No reason to discuss the Jazz or any other team.

**SamsNCharge99** · 02-25-10, 11:13 AM

Lakers will NOT win West

**Reload** · 02-25-10, 11:17 AM

If they stay healthy, the team has a shot for sure. They have a solid crew that can do it all.

**lakerboy** · 02-25-10, 11:17 AM

I like JAzz to maybe get to the west finals. They have no big men so they have no chance against la or Denver.

**Powderguy** · 02-25-10, 11:19 AM

That comeback @ Portland the other night was VERY IMPRESSIVE, they have West Conf final potential.

**minet123** · 02-25-10, 11:20 AM

Because they are in fuken Utah

**bradthebloke** · 02-25-10, 11:48 AM

because they are going to get bent over in the playoffs as they always do

**jjgold** · 02-25-10, 11:58 AM

Lakers are not as good without Arezi

Utah has a shot to win it all

**mlb** · 02-25-10, 12:14 PM

Utah not going to win ... They always hang around but if blah In the playoffs ... No reason why that doesn't happen again with the lakers depth the mavs additions the nuggets versitility even throw in the spurs playoff experience

**HoulihansTX** · 02-25-10, 12:15 PM

Because teams go on runs during the season every year.

**CarpeDime** · 02-25-10, 12:26 PM

continued line value

actually winning the West

**JohnAnthony** · 02-25-10, 12:35 PM

Everything I read or listen to says Lakers Lakers Lakers Lakers in West.

If not Lakers, then Nuggets.

Maybe Mavs, OKCity, Suns, Spurs.....what about JAZZ

Have not heard them 1x mentioned in this group that has a shot.

They are a sleeper in West who is the #3 seed in West right now.

I will be the first to mention UTAH JAZZ as competition in West

Exactly!!! Jazz for me!

**Dexter** · 02-25-10, 01:31 PM

not big enough to make it to the finals.....no stud scorer who can create for himself (ie, kobe, wade lebron) who can carry them.

will give teams trouble in salt lake, but will fall short on the road come playoff time.

1 round advance.

**tmorton** · 02-25-10, 01:36 PM

The reason they will not make it is because they can't beat the good teams on the road... They are great in Utah but not on the road. If they get the #1 seed which is highly unlikly they will have a shot but just don't see it happining.

**whatsgood5** · 02-25-10, 01:36 PM

They are a sleeper for sure, but I don't think they have much of a chance of beating LA.

**whatsgood5** · 02-25-10, 01:37 PM

And welcome back Sammy!

**elynch** · 02-25-10, 01:38 PM

The jazz are streaking rite now and are still getting no respect. they could be a dangerous team in the playoffs.

**ttwarrior1** · 02-25-10, 01:44 PM

last game lakers stomped them in utah, i wish utah could win , they just need to win one road game and should win the home games, but need to play almost perfect. they need okur healthy

Hey I am in Utah too. The Jazz are good and play some of the best team ball. I am a Laker fan first (born in LA), but the Jazz have a chance in any 7 game series. I think it would be best if the Lakers play the Jazz in a 5 game series, in a 7 game series, the Jazz might get the upset.

Yea sometimes I have to tell people the same thing, "It is becasue I live in fukken Utah". But the fishing, hiking, low crime, and mountains make it nice living in good ole Logan, home of the Utah State Aggies." The drinking laws are getting better too.

**THE PROFIT** · 02-25-10, 01:50 PM

I'm not talking about them because they came from a 25 point deficit the other night against Portland to win in OT and cost me a small fortune.

**HenPrivilege** · 02-25-10, 01:54 PM

There isn't a team in the West that can beat the Lakers in a 7 game series with LA having home court advantage, which they will get.

The Jazz have been playing very well lately, but that is because Boozer and Dwill have been playing 40 minutes a night. Look at the boxscore. Pretty amazing. Sloan is whoopin those boys. The other night, Sloan ran Boozer against the Warriors for 44 minutes even though they had a consistent 20 point lead for most of the game.

If Sloan continues to run them at 40 minutes a night, they are going to be dead tired for the playoffs.

Look at the Lakers minutes. The reason why they never cover spreads is because Phil is substituting like crazy when they have leads and lets the other team back in the game.

Pau got his vacation at the beginning of the NBA season. That's because he was busy winning FIBA player of the year in 2009.

Kobe got his vacation before, during and after the All Star Break.

Don't think these guys aren't rested and prepared to make another run. They know what it takes.

The Jazz are like 18-3 or something like that their last 21 games, that shit wont last and Kirilenko being inserted into the starting line up is what triggered this, AK is hurt now as usual. The Jazz always go on a hot streak like this every year, not quite as good as the one they are on now but they do this every year. They make a living off of easy shots, shots that will be defended much tougher in the playoffs. Carlos Boozer for whatever reason is terrified of getting in front of Lamar Odom IDK why but it has been going on for years he just lets Lamar breeze right past to the cup. Guys like Ronnie Price and CJ Miles are useless come playoff time. I know the Jazz better than anyone on the forum and they will exit they playoffs in the second round plain and simple. Like someone mentioned above they have no bigs, come playoff time they will have to go up against LA, Denver and potentially Dallas which all have big threats inside that will simply over power Okur, one of the weakest defensive "centers" in the NBA.

How so ? i would take many teams over the lakers. To most teams home court advantage is huge... but trust me man... i live here... the lakers don't play to their full potential. thats what makes teams like OK city and Dal a tough match for the lakers..

Everyone see a better laker team over all without kobe. more shots from everyone more playing time. more expierence for the bench. I know hes the shit... but really the lakers need to look into trading him for a younger player who has more years to come... Kobe flame and burning like it use to.....

**milwaukee mike** · 02-25-10, 04:02 PM

"There isn't a team in the West that can beat the Lakers in a 7 game series with LA having home court advantage, which they will get."

really then why don't they just give the lakers the west without playing it out if NOBODY CAN BEAT THEM.

there were some people on here saying nobody could beat the colts too, and nobody could beat the patriots when they went 16-0, nobody could beat shaq and kobe when they got swept in the finals, etc etc etc

if you don't think that anyone has even a .0000001% chance of beating the lakers in the west then i expect you won't watch the games or even check the scores, why bother?

**alittlemoresound** · 02-25-10, 04:05 PM

haha its amazing the hype on the lakers.... rest and what if and why.... haha its funny... they are a team with a very good record for a reason... they are ****n good... but at the same time it doesnt mean a smaller younger team can't knock them outa the playoffs. Man Kevin D and the thunder are tough man...i luv em cuz they even got a tuff name! and they stand up!.... these players are scoring and being very consistant every game. Why would this not hold up towards the end of the season? The lakers do not just walk off with the title... its gonna be a crap shoot this year.. lotta game 7s.

**shoebox** · 02-25-10, 04:06 PM

whats up alittlemoresound?

How you been man?

**Slim** · 02-25-10, 04:13 PM

Jazz will not beat LA in a seven game series.

**SamsNCharge99** · 04-27-10, 07:37 PM

Jazz baby up 3-1 over Denver

**jjgold** · 04-27-10, 07:39 PM

If Jazz get to finals a post like this can really get Sammy back in the monthly awards

**Jshap1515** · 04-27-10, 07:39 PM

Good call Sammy. I think the Thunder are one of the teams to mention in the West.

**GELATINOUS CUBE** · 04-28-10, 02:07 AM
