i was reading my Miami Herald today and i found an article that was pretty good for the rockets here ill type it: Losses Mount And Sloan Calls His Jazz Quitters- by Barry Jackson Utahs window of opportunity for winning a championship obviouslay has paassed. The question now is whether the jazz is even good enough to make the playoffs. Losers of six of its first nine games, utah lost three in a row by a total of 71pts last week, to Portland, toronto, and atl. And tensions boriled over after the 111-79 drubbing by the hawks. "ive never seen us play like that before" Karl malone said. "Worse than high school". "they quite" Coach Sloan said. Ive never haad a team quit before". These guys cant play any harder than that? Thats a disgrace to the NBA. It means either i dont belong here or some of them dont wana be here. "A lot of players assume that NBA is just a place to hang out. thats not good enough... Ive been around NBA players of a while they startt to play games with you, and when they do that , you cant win. theres something going on here, and i cant put my finger on it." Malone scored 7 pts failing to reach double figures for the 26th time in his 1,281 games. But he disagreed with sloan that the team quit. "ITs way to early for that" he said. "everybody's got an opinion, but i doubt thats an issue." PG John stockton hasnt been the same since injuring his right index finger two weeks ago, and quincy lewis hasnt capitalized on his promotion to starting SG. John starks is over the hill. Greg ostertag and Amechi are mediocre Centers, and talendted Kirilenko and Stvenson are too unpolished. Malone has implied he would accept a trade.*maybe to houston* "one of the things people fear the most is change.But change is gona come sometime," He said. "Im ready for that. I dont want to be involved in rebuilding. I dont want to e on a team where theres not the opportunity to win" NOw Portland: Portlands damon Staudimere frets about being replaced by QUitten at starting PG. the move makes sense because it allows bothe wells and DA to start. After two ineffective games at backup, staudi asked to be placed in the IL with knee tendinitis. "Im not happy with whats going on" stoudi said. Right now , were a mediocre team anyway. Ill never be happy with that. Now Nuggz: Nuggets coach issel ripped Broncos WR eddie Kennison for retiring on the eve of a game last weekend. "anybody who walks in 15 hours before kickoff and tells me there quitting, I dont want them on my team, i dont want them back, and i dont want them in a foxhole with me" Issel Said. Someone shoudl remind issel that he quit as nuggets coach less than 24hours before a game in Jan 1995 I beleive these 3 teams are on the brink of self destructing maybe Denver less but i liked these articles i know i mispelled some words but had to do it fast. Hope u like it too.!. g P.S. Give me some insite on what u all think!
