    I did this to myself today. I youtube'd John Stockton's last second buzzer beater to send the Jazzholes to the NBA Finals. I saw how Clyde was wrestled like a Louisiana aligator by Karla Malone. I saw the cheesy cheerleader jump by Stockton at the end of the game. I saw Jerry Sloan looking like a 12 year old girl getting her first make-up kit.

    I was at that game. I remember the DEAD silence of The Summit when the shot went down. I remember my heart breaking as we walked back to my dad's car.

    It was right then and there I realized how much I HATE the Utah Jazz. I started thinking about all the flops, elbows, karate kicks, bad uniforms, bad team name, annoying players like Ostertag, Hornaceck, Carr - and all the other things that make you loathe an NBA franchise.

    I can't tell you how bad I want to beat this team into oblivion.

    :mad:

    GO ROCKETS!!

    The problem is that no one on this team was there when that happened and T-Mac and Yao weren't in the league and JVG might've been pulling for the Jazz since the Rockets had spanked his beloved Knicks 3 years earlier.

    Maybe we need Clyde, Mario or Rudy T to go and refresh the current Rox crop about what it means to Houston and the Rox to beat the Jazz.

    When I get mad about this, I always think about flattening the Jazz in '94 and '95, and I find that thought soothing.
