"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

Bruised left elbow is all I've read so far.

A bruise is basically just like a tat, DWill plays even better against the Fakers.

It is much better that the Jazz got the old, out of form, tired and injury riddled Kobe, disinterested Lakers. Than the upstart, energetic, young, rested and eager Thunder.

As homer as that statement sounds at first blush, I really agree. We've had about equal trouble with both. If we contain Gasol, we win going away.

Jazz have made it out of the first round 3 of the last 4 years and have never had homecourt.

Kind of crazy when you consider the general inability of guys like TMac (never been out of the 1st) and teams like Denver (once in 8 years) and Dallas (once in the last 4) to get out of the first round.

Maybe our coach isn't as awful as some Jazz fans believe.

Why couldn't he just be like Boozer and not try and come back until healthy? That way we'd have him back already. Same goes for Okur (though in the end I'm fine playing w/o him).

Good luck.

Good luck.

Thanks!

I think you mean :nervous rofl:, even though there's not a smiley for that.

It's ok, though. I realize that, as Laker fans, you are obligated to pretend like everything is peachy, even when it's not.

[falafel]

Its an it/then conditional statement.

honestly, how can you root for the lakers? it's not like it's ever hard to be a lakers fan, none of your players have one endearing quality, and your coach is an overrated dick who's coached two of the greatest players of all time, and had maybe the best supporting casts ever.

Ad hominems probably aren't the best way to convince Laker fans of the error of his ways. Just a guess.

Also, I find a number of the Laker players to have endearing qualities. They are qualities that would quickly endear me to them were they on the team I cheer for.

I don't know about that -- Adam Morrison seems like a decent guy.

We're not 100% and I am not even sure the Lakers are as good as they were last year. But the Lakers might as well start prepping for San Antonio. No serious Jazz fan can think they have a legitimate chance at winning this series save catastrophic injuries to any of the Lakers' stars.

That sounds like the Jazz.
