In a league full of floppers. I don't hate them nearly as much as I used to, mainly due to Stockton and Malone not being there anymore. However, I do hate Malone more than Stockton by a mile. I also think the decline in my hatred for them has to do with them not being in our division anymore.
should i be lucky enough to live a long and proserpous life i shall ALWAYS HATE THE JAZZ!!! on my deathbed, with my last dying breath i shall say "death to the jazz" and than expire. i shall ascend into heaven, where there will be no jazz players b/c god hates the jazz too. my desire to see karl malone strung up like a pinata and beat with baseball bats that have rusty nails sticking out of them will never subside. and the 8 people who said that they not only dont hate the jazz but actually like them...you should be banned from this forum and exiled to utah...dirty jazz-hole lovers.
I WILL FREAKING DETEST THEM FOREVER!!! DIEEEEE!!! Rockets fans, everytime you think, "Hey, it's been several years, I don't hate 'em as much now since we haven't had any important confrontations with them recently," JUST REMEMBER that the Rockets could have 3 titles now. I can't explain how badly I wanted another title and against the Jordan Bulls, so we wouldn't have to hear, "The Rockets could only win when MJ wasn't around." And, that's crap because the Rockets beat the Bulls during those days. SO JUCK THE FAZZ!
I'm fine with Utah... mostly because of Sloan. I hate Dallas, Phoenix, and the Lakers the most right now. Players I hate are Dirk, Amare, Tony Parker, and Kobe kinda. I don't hate him as much as most, it seems. I have too much respect for Duncan, Finley, and Horry to hate the Spurs.
Still hate 'em with a passion. And I still hate Phoenix, er, Butt Kicking Inc. And I still hate Seattle for being Rocket killers in the early 90s. And I still hate the Lakers. And I HATE the f*cking Eagles!
Hate? Nah, that was last phase. 1) Shock -- Stockton hits the 3. 2) Denial -- What? No! Offensive foul on the play! Doesn't count! 3) Hatred -- Karla Malone can rot in hell. May his children be eaten by goats. 4) Acceptance -- Fine. The Jazz were an NBA Finals team, but they never won the trophy. We did. Then, while they got old, we rebuilt and got T-Mac and Yao. Sure, they have a terrific coach, but this is a great time to be a Rockets fan. Poor Jazz.
I disliked them when Adrian Dantley played there. I started hating them when Malone started bad mouthing Sampson. I hated them even more when Malone and Stockton were flopping, cheap shotting and whinning to the officials for 2 decades. I hate Sloan as well. I will always hate the Jazz and take great pleasure in their down years...may they suck for ever!
Actually, back in the day, I used to hate Seattle more than the Jazz. When it counted, in the mid-90s, we couldn't beat the Sonics. We spanked the Jazz.
How can you not hate Jazz anymore? Sloan is still the coach. And they still keep the tradition-playing dirty. And now you can really enjoy watching them lost to Rockets.
The sonics owned us. And speaking honestly here, thank god Mutumbo and the nuggets caught them by surprise that year and knocked them out of the 1st round.
I am indifferent, because, IMO their current team will never be what Malone and Stockton had in the past. AK is very talented, but I get the feeling his energy gets in the way of his team focus sometimes. I'm not saying that he's not one of the best ball magnets in the game.
hate 'em... anytime I start to feel sorry for them, or a little soft... I just dig out that pic of Malone kicking the Dream in the nuts. Didn't see Sloan stick him on the bench for that one.
Malone is dirty, but barkley could not do anything to him. So actually I hate Barkley, Because before he came, Horry did fantastic job on Malone.
