Utah got blown out in Oklahoma City. Blown out! We lost there too but we didn't get blown out. Utah will not win in Portland. Won't happen. Enjoy the loss in Orlando tomorrow. By the way, we won there and we didn't have Oden.

Great example of comparing two losses....Utah won @ Orlando last year & we're "improved" ;)
 
J Ray- I just did some research for you:

Utah has been blown out on the road by Cleveland (by 12), San Antonio (by 25), the Lakers (by 13), Oklahoma City (by 21), Denver (by 20), Portland (by 14), and Golden State (by 20).

Great research, now research who was out for each game for Utah also...I can tell you off the top of my head that D-Will was out for Cleveland and San Antonio, then losing by 13 to Lakers is pretty legit compared to opening night for you guys, @ OKC Utah were missing Boozer, Millsap, and Brewer got hurt early on, while Millsap was showing signs of wearing down in those other 3 games. Utah is a much deeper team now that they have everyone back, all they need is Boozer to get his legs back and they are the 3rd best in the West once again.
 
KS- I just did some research for you:

At:
LAL 20
PHX 11
PHX 10
BOS 15
LA 14
PHI 11
SA 15
DEN 16

Guess what team Im talking about

also...

At:

Utah 9
Den 8
OKC 9

Teams lose, especially on the road, so whats your point?
 
My point is that J RAY said that Utah didn't get blown out on the road constantly. I never said we didn't so your "research" was unnecessary.
 
Bottom line is the title of this thread. The Blazers are in FIRST PLACE. Jazz are in THIRD PLACE (7th in the West). Deal with it. I'm sure it will change and go back and forth as the season plays on, but right now, we're in FIRST.

Of course, J Ray is upset because he's a Jazz fan and DaRizzle, you're upset because we gave the Lakers their biggest punking of the season and you're still reeling from it.

because it interferes with your tunnel vision?

why is research in quotes?...since everything I said is FACT

It's fact, yes, and I don't deny it at all. Research was in quotes because that is what you called it. These facts don't interfere with me at all. I own up to our losses. I never said we don't get blown out on the road. J Ray was the one who needed research done for him.

Yes so much so I was on here joking about it on here right after the game....I was sooo devastated

Sorry to dissapoint but Im not crazy after losses like some of you


....until the playoffs
 
I'm still laughing at you, DaRizzle, for bragging about all of Utah's home wins against great teams as if it meant anything in this argument since PORTLAND beat all of those teams too. And Boston was healthy when we beat them. And we played without Roy.

They didn't get blown out constantly, you showed about 4 games where they really got blown out, realistically they were in the games until the last few minutes when they started forcing stuff. Utah is a better road team than you are giving them credit for when they have everyone. It's no secret Wade has always killed Utah, today's lost was expected, just not in the manner it happened. Utah sucks on the East coast but now that the trip is over practically, it's game on.

3rd best once again??? When has Utah EVER been 3rd best? Utah had the 5th best record in the West last season.

Why is it any different than what you did when checking Utah's record?

Oh yes, I'm upset that you guys have half a game lead with 15+ games left :crazy:

WCF 2 years ago...2nd place...2nd round last year...3rd (or 4th doesn't matter) since we lost to the best in the west....average it out and it's a 2.5, better than 3rd :clap:

Actually....THIS is what I said

DaRizzle said:
Gee, its a good thing they won the 12 before that including the Celts, Lakers, Hou, Den, and NO. 12-2 is just fine.

I was mostly pointing out they had some mojo with a 12 game win streak and so you wouldnt easily try to knock it like I know you would want to I pointed out the better teams they beat during that one stretch.

Learn to read...then post
 
Jazz are 3rd best! In their DIVISION!!

Blazers= 1st place in the division.

Right, but so what? We beat all those teams too.

Checkmate.

Would make sense if there weren't a month left in the season....:cheers: But let's all celebrate finally being on top the division after being in the lotto so long
 
Could you stop going checkmate when we have a 1/2 game lead and have injuries while Utah is healthy. You're only asking for us to lose like five in a row and drop into 8th place. Please stop counting the chickens before the god damn eggs have hatched.

Sorry, since I was posting @ the Blazer forum, I was trying to see through the eyes of a Blazer fan :) It must feel great (but awkward) to be winning the division by half a game with a month left in the season
