    I know Rockets fans traditionally hold a special hatred in their hearts for the Utah Jazz franchise. But this team, led by an ultra likeable, tough, yet humble rookie superstar, is just hard to dislike.

    And here’s one more reason:

    Them causing the glorious Oklahoma City meltdown in Round 1 definitely made me appreciate them.

    I don't really dislike this version of the Jazz nearly as much as the Sotckton-Malone-Hornacek years, or the Mehmet Okur-Carlor Boozer-Deron Williams-Kirilenko years... but while it may be "hard to dislike this Utah team", it's also hard for me to find anything to like about a team that we are playing in a best of 7 playoff series.

    If they just weren't .... The j*zz. I been hating on them since they were in New Orleans.

    I know most of you aren't old enough to remember that .....



    TBH I was kinda surprised that they kept the name Jazz - WTF about Utah has anything to do with Jazz ?! They shoulda been the Utah Mormons or something.

    I like most of their players... but I don't like their city, state, or fans. And they've won four straight playoff series against us (and you know what happened the last two times we beat them).

    Sooo, yeah, f*ck em.

    I don't hate this iteration of the Jazz. Snyder ain't Sloan. That SOB would teach his players to be the dirtiest, cheapest floppers in the league. Snyder on the other hand just seems like a hard-nosed coach who preaches hustling and playing together as a team.

    That being said, I still want the Rockets to kick the crap out of them.

    Nope. Nope. Nope. Jazz fans are a vile and despicable bunch. I've never had an issue with their teams per say, but the fans? Ugh.

    Everytime they bring up the Stockton shot I like to play this gif over and over. It makes me feel better.

    I found this Utah team not annoying at all. Much less so than the Fail-rriors, the Flunders, the Fail-blazers.

    Fans are a different matter, apparently.

    Oh they'll find a way by the end of this series. Wait till we take it to Utah before proclaiming them dislikeable.

    They always find a way.
