How Does The NBA Think The Jazz Can Beat Houston?

Yes, that is true.

Unfortunately for the fans' enjoyment, but fortunately for league business, Super Teams or dynasties do bring about far better ratings. The Jeter Yankees, the Jordan Bulls, Mike Tyson when he was "Iron Mike", Tiger Woods when he was winning tournaments by 19 shots...dominance attracts more viewers. That's an undeniable fact. Viewers want to see the big guys display their greatness or viewers want to see the big guys fall -- either way, ratings go up.

So, yes, the Super Teams in the NBA may be bad for competitive series, but the ratings are still strong. The league will do nothing to change things. Sucks for me as a Knick fan because we will never win another championship. We can not compete against the Super Teams (hell, we can not even compete against the lottery teams). And the idea of our team getting better here in NY? There is no such thing as "trust the process" here in NY. We are on our 13th coach in 17 years!

Super Teams are here to stay and that means the Jazz and 27 other teams have no chance of a championship.

The NBA would like nothing more than to have a successful Knicks team. How great it would be to see MSG rocking a competitive team. Your team is stradled by bad ownership, but your day in the sun may be still to come.

If you're going to have an 82 game season I think single elimination is just too limited. I'd rather the league address parity concerns by installing hard caps (it'll never happen) or something else.

The NBA is up against something that they could not have envisioned nor can they stop. The Utah Jazz have no shot in hell of beating the Rockets or the Warriors. In other words, we are all seeing the Super Teams just crush the very good teams. And the Jazz are what I would say is a very good team; but they have zero shot of beating a Super Team like Houston.

A Super Team of Harden and Paul (and then throw in their "lesser" talent) will always beat any other team in the NBA. Sure another team can win a game or two, but in a seven game series the lesser team CAN NOT win!

I am rooting for the Jazz. My Knicks over the past 18 years have the worst won loss % in the NBA and we have lost more games than any other team in the NBA. That's a fact. So I pick a nice team to root for in the playoffs and this year I picked the Jazz. But the friggin' Knicks have as good a shot at beating Houston in a seven game series as the Jazz do.

The lesser team can not win! My solution would be to get rid of the seven game series and just play an NCAA March Madness like tournament. Hell, even my Knicks might have a legitimate shot at a title that way. This current way only a Super Team will be champs.

Looks like someone's butt hurt Carmelo got exposed as a bitch. Even OKC wants out of his contract.

Our season ended when we gave up that big lead to OKC in game 5. We have seen that movie before and no one recovers from that.

So true. So true.
Ball going through Bill Buckner's legs....Roid Sox were finished!
Blowing a 3rd quarter 25 point lead in a close out game....Utah Jazz were finished!
