Has there been a player as associated with the jazz team as Malone or Stockton since? All the other players they had seem to use that team as a jumping point to other cities.
I shifted the hatred I had for them since the Malone/Stockton days to the present Thunder and Warriors. I hate dirty players !
They're harder to hate now that Sloan is gone. The Williams/Boozer combo was a bit Malone/Stockton ish. I like Donovon Mitchel , seems like a good kid and will be a force to reckon with in the future.
I care about the Jazz for one reason only: I want them to make the playoffs to help push OKC into finishing 9th. I care about the Clippers for the same reason.
Now that would be awesome... but if anyone is getting knocked out it might be the spurs... I would love OKC to not be in playoff picture though... someone send that Jazz fan a clip of our two championships... jazz finals 2 X times and 0 rings... hahhaha
**** the Jazz **** those rooting for the Jazz "Ehhh they're not so hateable anymore." "Ehhh I kinda like this Mitchell kid." NO NO NO NO NO **** you & **** the Jazz! Now & forever.
I remember jumping off my bed screaming. Probably watched that dunk 400 times that night. My 17-18 year self wants revenge for the back to back first round exits they gave us. Ingles and Ariza or Ingles and PJ are going to get into it. Probably both.
1) I don't mind the current crop of Jazz players and coaches. Mitchell, Gobert, etc seem like decent dudes. They're more likable than Malone, Stockton, Hornacek, Jerry Sloan, Boozer, AK-47 (Kirilenko), Deron Williams, etc. 2) This series reminded me of how much I dislike the Jazz fanbase. They're just as annoying now as they were back in the 90s.
Like House Atreides and House Harkonnen the hatred between the Rockets and the Jazz is deep and eternal. Every Rocket fan should remember that and teach it to our young...
Yah it's hard to "hate" this Jazz team. The fans are still as obnoxious and vile as ever, but the players aren't dirty like they were in the 90s growing up. It's been 10 years and I just got over the BS foul call on Scola in the corner from the flop king AK47.
