    We will do the Jazz like how Spurs did Portland after they beat us in the first round that one year.

    It’s been a while since this statement has been relevant but, Juck the Fazz



    Haha, all jokes aside Mitchell is likeable, elite, and has star potential. But, this is Rockets year and it should be a 5-game series at most if we play how we know we can play.

    Can’t wait to see the pick and roll on Rudy and Favors. Harden/CP3 should have a field day.

    I became a fan in early 2000's so I never really saw 1990's Jazz, but mid-2000s Jazz (like the Carlos Boozer teams) were easily one of my most hated teams

    That final stretch tonight just reminded why we whupped Utah's ass in the regular season, and why we should whup their asses again. Blood must have blood, and it's time to make Utah pay for 1997, 2007, and 2008.

    Its gonna be rough to see Harden get bad calls in utah, and there fans will make paul and harden work for it. I just hope that we can shut that utah crowd down like in minny. This is gonna be a good/hard series, and utah looks on fire. Lets hope jazz dont steal the first game from momentum.

    Utah is to jazz what San Francisco is to country-western.

    the key will be going 5-out (which okc couldn't/didn't do) to draw gobert out of the paint, and go small to make favors a backup center rather than a starting pf.

    if they don't adjust we will smoke them from 3, if they do it opens up the paint.

    I can still feel the sting of that Okur 3 in Game 7...

    Let's put my childhood demons to rest!

    I think we can sweep them. This series will not go more than 5 games for us.
