I honestly don't know much about Fisher, Kirlenko or Okur and if they are classy or not. But, how can anyone say Boozer is a classy guy? Isn't he the guy the lied to the Cavs to get out of a contract only to stab their old blind owner in the back? The Cavs were being generous with him and he and Utah took advantage of that genorisity...yeah, real classy
Next time I want to plan a vacation I'm calling Carlos Boozer. He's very familiar with traveling. Mark me down as the ultimate in strong dislike of the Jazz... until the end of the earth.
If I was playing against the Utah j*zz on their homecourt I would do a Jeff Hornacek facerub everytime I shot my freethrows "just to say hi to my family"
Even though nobody remains from the Stockton/Malone era (except Sloan), I can't stand the Jazz. They are horrible, mean, stinky people. No love is lost in this series. This is personal. I wonder if Tracy and company understand the history with the Jazz in this town and how much we need to win this series. It just hurts to see them even have hope.
The Jazz still have their sorry - dirty heritage in good stay with their coach who teaches and encourages it. Watch Boozer slamming his elbow into Yao Ming's back and it will make you think of Karl Malone. Watch for Matt Harpring with his contact and tripping others. None of these current guys have the art form of John Stockton - constant contact and tripping. the truly dirtiest player I have ever witnessed-the devil himself.... All of them flop like the Jazz player of Yore. See Mehmet Okur flop fest. This is team effort of pushing the envelope on contact and seeing how much they can get away with. Note-you never hear Yao complain.... Dude is Tough- I respect YAo Ming for dealing with a lot of adversity in this series.
There is nobody in sports I hate more than the filthy Jazzholes Cheating, dirty, flopping assholes I despise Malone and that little daisy duke wearing pedophile look-a-like Stockton. Jeff Hornacek can go wipe his hand on ass. I am also starting to hate Boozer loozer and Harpring very much as well, but these current players I cannot find the hate for like Stockton and Malone.forever curse Stockton and Malone.
I don't want to say i hate jazz, but i do hate Harpring and Sloan. I mean Harpring is a dirty player, to many voilate fouls, most of them escaped from the ref. And It is not just about dirty defence, he hit Yao's lap with his back purposively, bumped Tmac's back with his knee. It is about player's moral. And we all know who told him to do so------ Jerry Sloan.
Official Name Change - According to David Stern, the new name of the Utah Jazz will be the the Utah AsSAULTs since they are in Utah, close to the not-so-great Salt Lake, and they consistently assault opponents. In other notes, there is no jazz in Utah, only a tabernackle (sp.?) choir and the name makes about as much sense as the Lakers in LA. Even the 1998 movie BASEketball sarcastically poked fun at this, "The Jazz moved from New Orleans to Salt Lake City, where they don't allow music". Furthermore, even former great QB Jim McMahon, thrilled to be "released" from what he considered an oppressive culture in Utah, strolled into his first public function with the Bears holding a cold beer in his hand.
I think U taw is a good team for Houston to play, because they are very physical and play aggressive defense, while being above average on offense. It's good test for Houston. They will be a much tougher team if they get pass the Jazz, and they will stand a better chance against the like S.A. or the Mavs.
I HATE THE JAZZ!!!!!!!!!! I hate them so much I wouldn't mind it if the Rockets went 4-78 in a season as long as the wins came against Utah.(ok I wouldn't like the record but I just hate them that much)
There are a lot of things that Utah Jazz are best at: first flopping, second acting, third clock cheating, fourth crying foul, fifth whinning and so on.
I don't hate sloan. I remember that snyder had said something racialist to jon barry in 03/04 season,sloan was angry with him and never let him be on the court again in that game. He has a good personality.
I've hated the Jazz for a long shot. Mainly since the shot but I also went to school in SLC so that really fueled that hate. Their fans don't know a thing about hoops and they EXPECT their team to win every night. If they don't its the ref's fault. But I was at game 4 and some Punk was throwing pizza at us. I was clapping (the few times there was something to clap for) for the Rox but not acting obnoxiously. The rest of the fans in our area thought that this guy was some sort of renegade god. I was so pissed. Too bad I'm 5'6''; I was ready to take on the whole crowd.
Pizza?? Did you tell the ushers? That's not even cool. Heckling, acceptable. Stringy foam, acceptable. Pizza sauce... stains. SO not cool
Nah I didn't. I didn't want to fuel the fire. But they are lucky there are no stains on my autographed Drexler Jersey I was wearing. Just my hat. $#$&^&^'s!!
