speaking of which....are we hoping for the playoffs or for better draft picks? :? :crazy:
Draft picks would probably be better for us in the long run, but KOC and management have made it publicly known that they are shooting for nothing less than the playoffs this year.
I agree it would be a huge confidence booster, and maybe some incentive for players to stick around so we can maintain some consistency as far as personnel. But, Utah usually does quite well in the draft, and KOC could make some good decisions with the lottery picks we would have if we didn't make the playoffs.
Personally as a fan though, I'd like to see them make the playoffs. I wouldn't expect them to get out of the first round (depending on the match up, they could though), but just seeing Utah in the playoffs again and reminding the NBA world that we're not to be taken so lightly would be great.
Having said that though, if the team continues on the track they're on now, I say give it 2 years and Utah can become the consistent playoff team that they have always been known to be. But this is from a Jazz fan's perspective.
The Jazz just need to win these last 4 road games and we'll be in good shape. They've got some good, tough games (road and home) ahead of them though, so it'll be a good test.7/2/06 - Denver, CO

It's all about confidence, man. Everyone is beatable. Like I said recently, confidence is just as powerful as skill.
Can't drop any home games either. Especially the one coming up against Phoenix.
In all reality, I talk a big game for them. I'm nervous as shit going down the stretch of this season. 7/2/06 - Denver, CO

Well I'll be .... I just checked the standings and the Pacers are 3rd in the east.
It's amazing how nobody in the state follows them or talks about them anymore.

speaking of metta :?Those technicalities didn't stop Odom's childhood friend and former Lakers teammate Metta World Peace from devising a plan to bring Odom back to the purple and gold, however.
"Maybe he can come back and be a ball boy and then next year, come play," World Peace said with a cat-that-ate-the-canary grin on his face following the Lakers' 93-91 win over the New Orleans Hornets on Monday. "That's what he should do. He'd be the first ball boy in the NBA that can play. Come back; get the towels and next year, play. Why not? He should be a scout. Lamar should be a scout."
...
"Lamar should just like for one month, just be a Boy Scout and wear the outfit," World Peace, taking the joke a step further. "Just have fun. You're getting paid."
He was then asked, What kind of merit badges would Odom earn?
"It would probably something that had to do with candy ... Skittles ... It would probably taste good," World Peace said. "Sweet. Edible. I guess."
As a reporter started to ask a question about the Lakers' pivotal game against the San Antonio Spurs coming up on Wednesday, World Peace interrupted the query to continue with the rant.
"What's the biggest mountain in the world?" World Peace blurted out. "(Odom) should hike it. He should go hike it. Do something that's never been done."
A reporter pointed out that Nowitzki had spent the summer after the Mavericks' 2007 first-round playoff upset against the Golden State Warriors hiking the Bavarian Alps.
"He hiked a big mountain?" World Peace asked.
No, just mountains, the reporter replied.
"The big one," World Peace said. "I'm talking about the big one. Dirk, he ain't hiking that big mountain. He ain't going on the big one. I'm going on the big one."0 -
Look who's charging? Celtics need to crush the Heat tonight, then they only have 2 games left on the schedule against difficult teams. Its not out of the question they grab the 3 seed in a few weeks. However, they match up better in a 2nd round showdown with the Heat than the Bulls. The way this team is playing right now, its not a stretch to see them in the conference finals."FF, I've heard the droning about the Sawx being the baby dolls. Yeah, I get it, you guys invented baseball and suffered forever. I get it." -JearlPam09250

rose will be fine. he had no issues with his groin after sunday's game...although he did tweak an ankle but played thru it.
boston doesn't match up well with the bulls....81 is now off the air

No doubt about that. But it won't matter after the Knicks shock the Bulls in the first round. Celtics v Thunder in the finals.81 wrote:boston doesn't match up well with the bulls...."FF, I've heard the droning about the Sawx being the baby dolls.

derrick rose is hurt all kinds ... he is his own worst enemy ... he keeps trying to play through things ... rip is hurt, noah is hurt, deng, etc ...
i actually think they matchup worse against the heat ... they've beaten and lost to both teams this season ... i just think chicago is all kinds of banged up now ...0 -
Yeah, if the Bulls do end up winning it all this year, these guys gotta be 100%. I think the Bulls are VERY vulnerable given their injuries.polaris_x wrote:

rose isn't all kinds of hurt. yes he's had a number of injuries, but those have all healed. we are talking an ankle that was turned in the 2nd qtr sunday that he finished the game on....and made some crazy moves on. he just needs to find his shot again.
noah is fine
rip seems to be healthy finally...but he needs to find his rythem and shot..no doubt about that.
Deng is the biggest issue...he has shown improvement the last couple of weeks with finding his shot and scoring moves.
assuming no new injuries, i'm not worried about injuries going forward.81 is now off the air0 -
I think it's fair to say at this point that the Celtics are still a team that you shouldn't completely brush off. They've got the experience, and the calm nerves when things are in crunch time to surprise the doubters.
Are they title takers this year? Most likely not, but I'd expect them to put on a good show in the playoffs.
