    From the Jazz board

    "Oberto is the ugliest mother effer on the planet. I can't stand the way he flops when he's guarding Memo out on the perimeter, trying to get the refs to believe Okur elbowed him in the face. He had this coming!?

    I just read that and fell out of my seat laughing..

    Just saw the reply on ESPN.. that was clearly intentional.. He was looking at Oberto the whole time..What a prick.

    I just saw the footage.

    Harsh.

    If Dirk got suspended for what he did to AK, this definitely deserves one as well.

    looked pretty unintentional to me.. should be fined by likely not suspended--esp. for the playoffs. just my opinion on what stern will do.

    Good point--same level of intent. And AK's fall looked bad just like Oberto getting knocked down looked bad. So maybe you're right.

    Wow, some of these Jazz fans are actually... ::gulp::... smart.

    They're giving us some credit and are saying we won't be an easy win.

    You still suck, Utah.

    I wouldn't really credit them THAT much as to being smart. It's more like reasonable.. they know we're not gonna just push over and let them by.

    If only our PG's can neutralize Deron, that would take a huge load off the rest. We'll see how BJ still have a bit left for some playoffs fun.

    Don't worry....Stern will ask the refs to "step up". ;)

    Considering all of the bad luck we've had coming our way, aren't we due for a break? Maybe just some form of good luck at some point? Is that really too much to ask!?

    Oh that was an ugly foul. I was watching the game live and he really didn't go after the ball, he wanted to hurt Oberto.

    Suspention would be nice

    I watched it when it happened, all the replays when it happened, and again on SC.

    I personally think even if it was intentional, which I'm not convinced of, Okur went with a full on soccer dive. Acting like he was pistol whipped or stabbed in the eye with an ice pick. Please.

    Not worth even considering a suspension over. It wasn't a face off.
