The NBA must have used the "NHL Wheel of Justice" to figure that suspension out.

Ron Fuckhead....I like it. It's so ridiculous that announcers/writers have to refer to this idiot as metta world peace. What a clown.

hey DC, where do we get our "#8 seed 2012 Playoffs" shirts?? :?

Big Al absolutely schooled both gortat and lopez aka the geico caveman. lopez has very little game, offensively or defensively and gortat got his shit rejected at least three times.....and not just kind of rejected.....more like stuffed.

that game had me very nervous in the 4th quarter when it looked like nash and michael redd might beat us again.

I was shocked to see Utah is 12-8 vs. SA in playoff history.

Utah in six! :shock:

Lopez really is nothing but a body on the floor.

You could see Nash's frustration last night when the loss was evident. I think if they would've had Hill and Frye in the game, it would've went a lot differently for them.

Our big guys did exactly what they needed to do... step up, protect the basket, and in the case of Al, make some big shots.

Big fucking Al, just like you said last night via text. That boy has got some game. 18 pts, 16 rebounds, 3 blocked shots. Gonna be fun watching at the very least 4 playoff games, but I dont' see them getting swept. Regardless of the outcome of Utah's post-season run, you can't help but be excited for the emotion and momentum this will give them coming into a full 82 game season this fall.

The Jazz played absolutely beautiful basketball in the first quarter.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but did I actually see Al play better defense against the pick and roll last night? Perfect time to improve the one flaw (in my opinion) in his game. He quickly made improvements on his reaction to double-teams this year... hopefully he learns as quick with the P-N-R defense.

Gotta give my props to Ty Corbin, he has done a great job with what's he's had all year.

1. Defend Parker's pick and roll.
2. Defend the fucking three point line. It's known that SA can shoot the ball. Hell, when they beat us at home in February it came down to the outside shooting, which is an offensive weakness for Utah.

Those two things will drastically help the Jazz's fighting chance.

Read a great nickname for Al Jefferson:

Big Al-Qaeda - he's a terrorist in the paint.

for what it's worth....I want no part of possibly moving up to the #7 seed :shock:

I'm with you on that. I'm more comfortable with Utah facing SA than OKC.

Admittedly, I overlooked Paul Millsap's game... what a stat sheet he had last night too:

26 points
15 rebounds
4 assists
3 steals
1 block

Paul gets it done on both sides of the floor, and I think that's what separates him from Al as the MVP of the Jazz.

been a fan of this guy for a while ... i reach for him every year in my fantasy league ... and this year - he actually excelled that ...

really ... i would say that paul and al work really well together and play unselfish team basketball ... and that they are both co-mvps ...

Totally agree with you. The two of them together make a great duo of bigs. I also really like that Paul shows he is versatile and able to play the SF position. He might be undersized as a PF, but he makes up for it with other parts of his game.

Utah needs to hang on to their bigs. Their looking to be one of the most dominant front-courts in the league. That's a rarity in today's NBA, and that is an advantage that could become very useful. I really hope there isn't much change with the roster over the off-season. With the exception of Miles, Bell, and possibly Watson, keep the roster how it is. Only problem is... what the hell are you going to get for those three dudes?

you guys have a great young nucleus ... keep them together and i definitely think you can contend for championships ... it's too bad deron williams drove sloan to retire ...

Yeah. But, on the other hand... I think Corbin has shown that he is a very capable coach. He's learned very well under Sloan and has embraced that system with his own tweaks on it, which frankly, I think is what Sloan needed to do. It seems that his offense was getting to be way too predictable by every team in the league.

I do miss Jerry though. He was at the Orlando/Utah game...

ok, obviously I do not follow basketball at all, but when I see a news headline that says:

"NBA Suspends World Peace"

I have to ask - what the hell is going on?!?!

maybe because they did the same thing last year, and then choked in the playoffs.

Pop and SA deserve a lot more credit than they get. However, because they don't really play flashy basketball and instead play fundamentally sound and "boring" basketball, no one gives two shits to see them play.

I've always liked/appreciated the Spurs franchise... but considering Utah is playing them in the first round, I hope they crash and burn.
