The Utah Jazz

Yes The Utah JAzz Basketball team.
I believe it's gotten better and could rival even the Lakers.
They are, in my opinion, the best team in the League. And I don't even live in Utah.

Tell me what you think, and don't hold back.
Is Utah worth supporting?
Do they have a chance in the Playoffs?
What Team is better, and a REAL reason why.

The "Best Team" Going into a SIX game series against a crippled Tracy McGrady and a Injured Yao Ming (That didn't even play)? If they are anywhere near the CELTICS level (They ARE the best team in the NBA atm, by far), then they would've swept the Rockets in a 4 game sweep.[/quote]

No. They are dirty players that get away with it.

Honestly, No.
The Lakers have a more explosive than ever Kobe Bryant, who is probably the best offensive player on the planet right now.. And they have a BEAST downlow to score, and lock up Boozer (Gasol).. With Derek Fisher & Kobe guarding Williams, he will not be able to punk and get to the basket so easily like he done with the Rockets. Lakers will beat Utah in 5 games.

The game takes 5, and at the end of the day, Utah has only two people that can produce shots when pressured. The spurs have a whole team of excellent, hungry players, so do Detroit, Boston, The lakers, and HORNETS.. Which is why they are still in this thing. Like it or not, Utah is just not a playoff Calibur team.. Infact I cannot wait until Kobe or someone does some crazy a*s dunk on Andrei Kirilenko WORSE than what Baron davis did to that scrub last year. lol!

Oh don't worry.
But Utah isn't dirty, for one. They are all very stout men and even Shaq has bounced off Boozer and Okur, so that says something.
Two. IF anyone else in the playoffs could have beaten the Jazz in a physical game is would have been Rockets, and they proved that.
Thrid. The Celtics are going into a seventh game against the Hawks, nuf said.
Fourth. Jerry Sloan. He deserves a win. 20 years caoching the Jazz, and no trophy, came close in 97' and 98' with Stockton and Malone, but with Boozer and Williams i think he can get it. That and the team is Centered around Boozer and Williams.
