Is anyone else annoyed

['BamaJazz]

at the disdain the media has for Utah for fighting L.A. for the last playoff spot? It's like the Jazz are the bad guys and totally cast aside. Watching Stephen A. Smith and some others at ESPN, it's like Utah committed some crimes or something. It sucks Kobe got hurt, because I wanted the Jazz to get in with no excuses. However, I will take us getting in any way we can. This mind set of "Utah will just get crushed 4-0" that people have is absurd. The Jazz won't get swept and I'd rather go out in round 1 than not make it at all. Anyways, I am new to this board and I am glad I found a place to talk about the Jazz.

It is ridiculous that ESPN had magically written the Lakers into the playoffs the last few weeks, but they are right that the Jazz will get swept though.

Won't the Lakers also get swept too? I mean they aren't going to beat a full Spurs or OKC team.

first off I'd like to say Stephen A. Smith is a punk!!!

On a positive note you figure anything can happen in the playoffs ...I don't see why we can't win a game or two if we were lucky ... the chance of a 8th seed beating a 1 seed is very rare I'm not sure how many times its happened ... I'd guess three

Yes, I hate how the local media doesn't hold the team and FO accountable for their lackluster year as well as the no direction that they have been headed in all year.



Sorry, wrong thread.

I'd be annoyed if I cared about what anyone else thought. I have faith in my Jazz and I do not need the media to root for me. In fact I kind of like that we are discounted and ignored. Makes the victories we acheive that much sweeter when people are like"what the hell? THE JAZZ??!"

I actually like that ESPN treats us this way because when we win or are good, I enjoy that the Jazz prove guys like Legler, Anthony, and Stein wrong. Can't wait till we are a top 3 team in the west again. I think it will happen with Kanter, Favors, Hayward, and Burks. Hopefully, we'll be bad next year and have a chance to draft Jabari Parker.

The worst are the people who think "Utah is boring, I'd much rather watch the Lakers!" That's seriously the most surface-fan opinion possible. The Lakers are literally just Kobe chucking and Dwight getting hacked and taking brick free throws. Literally awful basketball. They're fighting for the 8 seed for a reason-- it's because they suck, like us.

proof/evidence?

The proof was on First Take three times this week and NBA Shootaround. ESPN had a couple columns about why the NBA needs the Lakers in the playoffs and it was a diss to Utah.
