    true.. but, if i could remember correctly, we lost to those crappy teams with the lead wasnt on 10 digits.. they need more confidence with each other and figure out that if the ball is in yao's hands, we win..

    I can't remember exactly, but I think they might have been in the top ten last year too.

    It is a known fact that all NBA players really want to play in Utah. If offered twice the money to play in Utah, a few might take it.

    How in the heck can you put stock into a rating before the draft, trades and FA signings have taken place? :confused:

    HELL NO! I hate the a Jazz, I was just stating the facts.
    Of course your #29 when you 2 best players in team history are both finally leaving the team and your best player now is Kirilenko.

    Hate the Jazz, my bad if it sounded like I like them for stating a fact???

    I am satisfied that we are #7.
    BUT....NO I AM NOT.
    WTF?!? The Nets are ahead of us?!?
    It's great that they consider us as the 7th best team overall...
    BUT WE ARE WAY BETTER THAN THE NETS!!!
    We should be #6 then!
    And I think we can definitely win 3 out of 4 games against the Twolves next season.

    NEXT SEASON SHALL BE A BEGINNING TO A GREAT NEW ERA!!!

    I took it they would use him as "bait" for a long-term Vlade replacment.

    Well the writer said this "Must trade Hedo Turkoglu and look for a long-term replacement for Vlade Divac." So I just assumed they didnt have a long term replacment for Vlade. If they did why else would he write that?

    I didnt really want him for this team. I was just trying to help answer Rocket Addict's question.

    :) What do you think the writer meant?

    Signs of another long off season. High expectations in June with no action until October.

    Actually the Rockets shuld have been #6 in the West last year and should have been there, or at least #7, but the team stopped playing with a sense of urgency. That's what frustrated me about Rudy, Rudy treated this season more like a learning season and a rebuilding season then he did a season with a sense of urgency to make the postseason. If Van Gundy gets this team playing like every game is important then we'll be in the #6 spot, I believe.

    Don't worry, we'll make the playoffs!

    By the way, the jazz are 30th in the hearts of Rocket men. I'd put the new Charlotte team in at 29!!:D :D

    Why do you have to reply to a jerky post? If you run into an ass again, just ignore him. He's not worth your time to respond.

    Yeah...I agree. They don't have any players yet! :) By the way, the Charlotte team is going to start "competing" in 2004-2005 season.

    The Jazz being the last in the league is a joke. When, in the last 25 years, have they been the last??? Their biggest assets weren't Stockton to Malone, but a great front office. They put stability over everything else. Moreover, having a coach like Jerry Sloan isn't gonna hurt them either. You may not like them, but their way of dealing things is good.
