Jazz overlooked and disrespected!!!

Here's why the Jazz will be tough as nails come playoff time!

1) We've got two big fundamentally sound inside guys that are muscle finesse oriented, can pass, block shots and out think there opponents! They are both hard to cover down low and on defense they make it hard for the opposition to score on us!

2) We have two guards that compliment each other very well.....one who is pass oriented and skilled at feeding the low post while also excellent at finding the wide open 3 point shooter!

The other guard is quick as a cat, an excellent open court player who is learning fast when to take the ball to the basket and when to look for the open man both in an open court and half court setting! He can also hit the 3 ball in the corner pocket and plays excellent man to man defense!

3) Our other forward is a chief irritant both on offense and defense, with a style of play that can drive even the most calm and patient opponent up the wall! On defense he loves to deny his man the ball and throw both arms and legs at them to befuddle even the most seasoned pro! On offense, he runs around like a chicken with his head cut off until he gets open, using picks and screens in the most effective way to end up with wide open 3's or an open lane to the basket!

4) Our bench is anything but weak, with a bunch of guys that play fundamentally strong basketball along with tough defense, just like the starters do!

Finally got a little respect today! ESPN dummy said looking at the Jazz remaining schedule it would not surprise him if the Jazz ended up with the 4 seed and home court in the 1st round!

Yesterday on "The Starters" they said that the Jazz and the Heat could be playoff Cinderella teams. They said that the Jazz would match up nicely with any team in the playoffs minus the Warriors and Thunder.

Even though we lost all 4 games to the Thunder this season I still think we match up much better with them than we do the Rockets.

Another slaughter house 5 tonight! However, Quinn's post game locker room comments probably went something like this: "We played a pretty good game tonight "boys" and we shot very well. However, If you guys hadn't been screwing around out there half the time, we would have score 160 points on these guys and held them to 100! Try to remember that in order to advance in these here upcoming playoffs, we have to cherish EVERY possession and not be so careless with the ball and tighten up our shot selection! Unforced turnovers will get us a quick exit from the playoffs and poor shot selection will do just the same! We have a great opportunity to go far in these here playoffs! Now, we play the slop dummy Hawks tomorrow and I would like to see you "boys" try and do what I just said to do, kapesh?"

I would also prefer to play Denver above all other teams.

Yep. Stick with the seven seed, take out Denver in the first round, San Antonio in the second, and we are in the Western conference finals!

Just like that we become much more attractive to FAs who want to play with Rudy and Don and be the key piece to our run of 6 chips, forever changing the image of The UTAH JAZZ around the league.

The Thunder kicked our snot last year, and we returned the favor in the play offs. OKC is a tough out, but it reminds me of last year.

You know what, I was there and he said exactly that. Word for word. Weird. But instead of "these here" playoffs he said "them thar" in an old-timey prospector accent. Weird.

IF Lebron really wanted to catch Jordan for most championships between them, Lebron should come over to the Jazz! Put Lebron on the Jazz RIGHT now and we would win 3 maybe 4 titles in a row, true or false? That is, if we didn't have to give up any of our starting 5!
 
And the Atlanta loss is EXACTLY why the Jazz are overlooked and disrespected. Utah just isn't good enough to string together a good winning streak. They had every opportunity with a cream puff schedule over the last 20 games to go 18-2 and seize home court. Instead, they have 3 bad losses and are only 6-4 in their last 10. This team deserves to get hammered in the 1st round. And part of me hopes that happens so Lindsey can't puff out his chest, say the current team is showing progress and bring back the same cast of chokers and jokers. There's simply NO excuse when you're fighting for playoff positioning to lose at home to the Pelicans, to Memphis, at home to OKC (ok, they're at least a playoff team) and then collapse on the road to Atlanta. Pfft...that's the wind going out of the Jazz' season.
