lol Utah..

[The TroutBum]

I have decided that this thread sucks the little brown afterbirth from my morning diarrhea.

Preach on, Purch and Giri. the rest of you s.

[Purch]

I did say it was impressive, it obviously was..

All they have shown so far is that they're an inconsistent team..they're currently 7th in the West, their SRS is 11th, they've been blown out and lost to bad teams in multiple games..that screams above average team to me..

If they beat Atlanta, I'll admit that I underestimated them a little..if they win that game, I'll say that they'll be similar to last season's Jazz team..

What who are these bad teams?

The Suns?
Denver?



The only teams we've gotten blown out by in the first two games of our season?Those are the two teams we faced on our first two games of a back to back with six new players and the two games we had more turnovers then assist because no one knew how to run the sets in a game that actually matters? Since Sloan yelled at them and put them through at practice have you seen them play anywhere near as bad as opening night? Not even in the GS loss did we play nearly as bad as the first two games.

And don't make me lol . 7th seed? Is this a joke 7 games into the season and you're trying to use their current seed against them. Let me show you just how re ed your statement is.

If Miami was in the west right now with their current record they would be the 9th seed. So I don't see what point you're trying to make? Because Utah si the 7th seed 7 games in the season in a tougher conference that saids something about our team?

So What the are you talking about?

You're just a bull hater. Everytime the heat lose they're a work in progress but if the Jazz lose their first two games with six new players and no one knowing the offense they're inconsistent?

Please Get your ing head or your homer ass.

the only team you might have a point is GS but they've went 6-2 so far this season.

Please.

By your logic being blown out on opening night and losing when you're up by 20+ against the Jazz means Miami is way below averge. Especilly since you can't keep a lead against a team you claim is only above average.

you Harlem. I've never went out of my way to hate on Miami yet you make threads hating on the Jazz at every opportunity. I even support the MIami cause against people like Lakaluva then I see re ed post like this.

Bad teams was hyperbole, but they were blown out in 2 games to go alone with their comeback wins and blowout wins..your point about Sloan is inaccurate, since they've been blown out in all of the past 3 games they have played, so they HAVE played poorly in the 1st half of all those games, the other team just fell asleep on them(including a game where Milsapp had a stretch that you'll never see again)..Utah came back from 20 down last year vs. Orlando too, IIRC, seems to be a trend..

And don't make me lol . 7th seed? Is this a joke 7 games into the season and you're trying to use their current seed against them. Let me show you just how re ed your statement is.

My point is that they have played like a 7th seed so far this season, which fits in line with my prediction during the off-season..so while they have had 2 impressive wins in a row, it's not like my prediction is currently inaccurate..

If Miami was in the west right now with their current record they would be the 9th seed. So I don't see what point you're trying to make? Because Utah si the 7th seed 7 games in the season in a tougher conference that saids something about our team?

Miami is playing like a lower-tier seed right now, just like Utah..

You're just a bull hater. Everytime the heat lose they're a work in progress but if the Jazz lose their first two games with six new players and no one knowing the offense they're inconsistent?

Part of the reason I picked Utah to be a lower seed was because I said they would need the entire season to work Al Jefferson into their system..this was the post I wrote:

I don't think Utah will be much better, if better at all..

While Jefferson is levels better than Boozer as a post-up player, Boozer is a much better pick and roll big(Jefferson is good at it too, so it won't be a massive drop-off, but Boozer is one of the best in the NBA), a much better passer, a better shooter, and a much better transition big..

He is also a slightly better defender, although you probably won't see a big change..

I think it could be better from a long-term perspective, but I don't see it right away..their system will have to change to fit in Jefferson's post game, they will have to work around his lack of passing ability too..I don't see the chemistry being nearly the same as with Boozer, at least not from the beginning..these things don't work right away..

I also think losing Wes Matthews could hurt too..

Miami is inconsistent..

you Harlem. I've never went out of my way to hate on Miami yet you make threads hating on the Jazz at every opportunity. I even support the MIami cause against people like Lakaluva then I see re ed post like this.

- Miami isn't my team, Lebron is the only connection..
- If they were my team, hating on them doesn't change my opinion..

[Giuseppe]

- Miami isn't my team

Not anymore.

tee, hee.

[Girasuck]

Most overrated team in the NBA, as expected..

I'm sorry for bumping this again, but every time I read this I chuckle, especially now that his team is without question the most overrated in the NBA.

Good call there Harlem.

[HarlemHeat37]

Miami being overrated doesn't change the fact that Utah is overrated too..

[Girasuck]

Miami being overrated doesn't change the fact that Utah is overrated too..

That may be true, but that's not what you said and what I quoted again.

[Purch]

Because you called them overrated after they only played two game sin the season whiles your claimed the Heat are a work in progress even though we have six new players.

[Cane]

Jazz with another comeback in the 4th @ Atlanta.

[HarlemHeat37]

I'll eat crow on Utah..they're playing better than the talent on the team..4th straight game coming back from a double-digit deficit..

They're a lottery team in the 1st half, and the best team in the NBA in the 2nd half..

[kamikazi_player]

Atlanta winning the first 6 and losing the next 4? wow

[KapitanTutan]

good job horford

We have our most talented roster in a long time.

You really need to delete this post. Too late, I quoted it.

[LkrFan]

We have our most talented roster in a long time.

Agreed. And Okur hasn't played one second yet.

[Purch]

The difference


D-Will being a vocal leader

A true back up point guard in Earl Watson
A low post scorer in Al Jefferson
Millsap having a break out year
Ak getting confidence playing like old Ak
Raja Knocking down his shots and coming up big defensivly.
C.J Playing like he's supposed to driving in and finally devloping into the player Sloan wants him to be

Biggest differnce is we got rid of Booze. So now the effort is there and the heart is there too.

Our Roster looked better from top to bottom this offseason and it's starting to cash in earlier in the season then I expected.

[Venti Quattro]

Why is HH talking when Utah has a better record than Miami?

[cobbler]

He's not the brightest crayon in the box.

[LkrFan]

Why is HH talking when Utah has a better record than Miami?

This is his failed attempt at saving face. Tell him denial is not a river in Egypt. He should drink a tall cold glass of STFU on this one, tbh.

[Venti Quattro]

oh and not to mention Utah has looked as more impressive than Miami, given their materials

[LkrFan]

24 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds for the best point guard in the league not named CP. Just another day at the office and another impressive win on the road for what's his name.

[Pelicans78]

I am impressed with Utah winning during this stretch, but not impressed with their depth. Right now this is about 4 guys and really no one else.

CJ Miles isn't reliable off the bench.

Watson is old.

No reliable big men off the bench until Okur is back and he won't be too productive for a couple of months.

Jazz need to make a trade to acquire more depth if they really want to compete in the long-run. This may be worst depth they've had in a few years.

Difference between the Hornets and the Jazz is CP3 doesn't have to work nearly as hard as Williams does. Williams is averaging about 40 minutes a game already this season while CP3 is barely averaging about 33 minutes.

I'm confident in him. And He's given us big points in every run we've made on this road trip. The differnce between C.J this year and in previous years is it's not just jumpshots, He's taking it to the hoop looking to score and draw the foul. He's confident, Knows what Jerry wants from him and that's the exact reason Jerry is sticking with him as the main player off the bench.

Jazz need him to step up, otherwise the starters will be playing major minutes. Miles has always had potential as a solid wing player. Jazz need him to be consistent. Also, if Okur can come back strong, their bench will be fine.
