THEY (Utah) might have a chance, you don't.

No way do Utah beat LA, Cleveland or Boston in a playoff series in my opinion.

And I think the Spurs are a LOT scarier than the Jazz. Duncan is not slipping at all, hes an MVP candidate, and Parker is now the best scoring point guard in the game. They've won so many big games this year without their big named players becuase Popovich is a mastermind at getting the best out of role players, they still have suffocating defense and in my opinion the 3rd or 4th best closer in the game in Ginobili (he'll be fine come April).



And Lamar Odom has taken a step forward this year, especially with Bynum out.

Sorry just thought I'd add this to support my Lamar statement

Averaging 16.5ppg and 13.4rpg since Bynum went down.

Wow- thats really good stuff. I stand corrected. I'm a Lamar fan but just thought he would hold a grudge at being benched and that it could surface in the finals.

So i guess its less of his game slipping, as it is his relationship with the team...? (he is a notoriously emotional guy)

I love the Jazz. Have always been a Suns fan but I just love the way Utah play at the moment.

Deron Williams is the MAN! His game is a thing of beauty. Step-back pull up jumpers, cross overs then getting to the rack, throw downs, finishing with contact, and all the while doing that stuff whilst getting his teammates involved and running a flawless Jazz offence.

When Boozer comes back and you have Millsap coming off the bench you have one deep, deep bench too. Miles, Millsapp, Korver, Harpring, AK47. I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that is a better bench than the Lakers. Maybe not quite as strong in the starters, but I've been watching this Jazz team closely on All Access and they are a very, very good team. They will play 48 minutes of basketball every night - defend hard and execute all day. A thing of beauty.

Look at the teams they have beaten in that stretch too. Of the top of my head I think it is New Orleans, LA, Boston, Houston maybe.. the list goes on. Celtics are sturggling without KG and his knee could niggle for the rest of the year. Marbury changes that teams dynamics, no doubt about it. Cleveland I have been saying all year will win it all, but LA may knock them off. I've got Utah in my top 5, with LA, Cleveland, Boston and Orlando. San Antonio, without Ginobili fully fit, can't do it IMO.

I think as good. CP£ puts up great numbers but he has the ball in his hands so much more of the time. The offence revolves around CP£ for New Orleans, whereas Deron is just a cog (albeit a vital one) in the Jazz offence. Easily as good IMO.

For the life of me I cannot understand why any non-Mormon would support the flopping Jazz.

Looking more and more like Houston are real sleepers this year...

Parker the best scoring PG? Above Chris Paul? Dont know if you saw the hornets game that was on ONEHD the other day. Paul missed everything first half but in the 2nd half he was unstoppable. Reminded me of Kobe the way he just took over the game. I put him leagues above parker.
