    That is right, I have now officially become a fan of the Utah Jazz, WHAT? you ask. How could you? Traitor...come to mind.

    None of the above.

    I am rooting for the Jazz to finish with the best record in the west, because if my beloved Rockets beat the odds and sneak into that 8th playoff spot, there is no other team I want to CRUSH as much as them.

    Plus, I think the Rockets could take the Jazz in a short 5 game opening series. The Rockets have a good chance at getting into the playoffs, and nothing would make me happier then having the OLD and DECREPIT Jazz waiting for them.

    So who is with me?.... GO JAZZ !!!!

    For now.

    I was rooting for them yesterday, because they beat the Sonics and put the Rockets alone in the 9th place spot.

    There's by far no other team I'd want to crush more than the Lakers. However, I'd much rather play the Jazz, cause I think they'd be much easier to upset. Also, don't rule out the possibility of playing a 2 seed or a 3 seed-- the 6, 7, and 8 seeds in the West are all bunched together right about now. If things fall our way, we could conceivably get that 6 seed.

    Mavs play the Spurs tonight, so I think they will lose tonight. I see the Wolves being the team to fall. Szcerbiak, Peeler, Ellis, and Billups are the X factors on that team, and they haven't been coming through. Those damn Suns are pissing me off. They could have, and should have, gone 0-3 against the Magic, Heat, and Knicks but those bastards went out and won all 3 games.

    TPL,

    Ain't it the truth...but we can still catch the Timberpups....3 back with 24 to go..and I think one more head to head with them...so we could be 2 back with 23 to go.

    GO JAZZ !!!....

    The team that I would not want to play the most in the 1st round is San Antonio. There is no way we'd be able to stop the twin towers...I'm not too sure if we'd even win a game in that series, and that is what I would like to see this team do...get to the playoffs and win at least one game. I see the advantages of playing the Jazz in the 1st round, and they are probably the most likely upset for us. This may be a little premature, but this would likely be the matchup-

    PG: Francis vs Stockton- I think Steve would get the best of him on offense, and do a decent job of slowing down the Jazz offense

    SG: Mobley vs Starks- A very tight matchup. Starks has a lot of playoff expierience and knows what it takes, but I don't know if he can contain The Cat.

    SF: Anderson vs Marshall- I think Marshall would win this. He has done a great job for them this season.

    PF: Taylor vs Malone- We all know who would win this matchup...but I am encouraged about Mo's defense with the way he played vs KG.

    C: Polynice/Ostertag vs Dream- Dream would be the key to pulling the upset. He would have to remind Utah of the championship years to win the series.

    Like I said, this is premature but it's fun to think about the possibilities. I would give the Rockets a decent shot at winning the series.

    hmmm...what would a supposedly Houston Rocket Fan do if he knew his true secretly rooting of the Jazz was about to hit the fan and be known to all Clutchity.net.?

    Maybe he would cover it up with something like this:
    I knew it! I've always had my doubts about you. Admit it! You wear purple underwear!

    Sorry guys, I will root for anything that gives my team a chance to grow, and faster, and I see us having a good chance to beat the Jazz in a playoff series.

    Go Jazz

    "dont ever right that **** on here"

    I think you meant 'write'. Anyway, I can see where he is coming from with the "Go Jazz" talk. I would rather play them than any other powerhouse team in the West, but that does not mean I will root for them...except when they are playing Minny, Pheonix, Seattle, or Denver. The only time I root for any other team is when they can help out the Rockets.

    STOP! I cant take it any more! No Go Jazz!

    DaDakota, If you dedicate yourself you can beat this sickness.

    Every morning when you wake up look at your self in the mirror and say 100 times I hate the Jazz!

    If that does not work look at your self in the mirror and say Go Jazz. When you do that if you don't cut your wrists in horror for what you have done then you have truely been lost to the dark side.

    Dadakota, if you really dont wear purple Jazz underwear answer me this: Who on the Rockets use to shoot those high-arching rainbow threes? Sleepy Floyd or Buck Johnson?

    Wow. That's unbelievable. Me and my friend were discussing this VERY THING right after the Minnesota game.

    Personally, I think Da is RIGHT ON. There is no team among the elite (record-wise) in the West that I would rather play, for a variety of reasons. First, I think we have a better chance of beating them in a five game series than we do beating San Antonio, Los Angeles, Sacramento, or Portland, who are in my opinion the five top teams in the West.

    Secondly, I think we match up better with that team than we do against the others. ESPECIALLY if we can get the production out of Olajuwon and Taylor that we've been getting recently. While Dream may be old, you just KNOW he still has some of that old playoff magic: who better to unleash it on than Utah? [​IMG]

    But third, the idea of defeating Utah in a playoff series brings tears to my eyes. Think of all the pain and disappointment we've suffered in the past five years against this team. A playoff victory over Utah would solidify the change I envision between these two teams at the end of this season and the entire next season: the rise, once again, of the Houston Rockets who were once among the mightiest; and the fall of the Utah Jazz.

    I am TOTALLY with Da, despite my hatred for the Jazz. Let the Jazz win; let them claim the top seed; and let them be upset in the first round by our Rockets. [​IMG]

    Maybe the Mavs and the Rox could both get really hot. The Mavs steal the 3rd spot and we sneak in with the 6th spot. We match up real well against the Mavs and no one actually has to cheer for the disgusting Jazz!

    Utah has 31 games left. I'm cheering for a 31 game loosing streek for them. I will never cheer for the Jazz!

    You don't have to root for the Jazz, just root against the teams they are playing. No one should force themselves to root for the Jazz. Its unconstitutional.

    The Rockets will be the NBA champions. Believe.
