Ok, got a question, which team do you guys think is better, Utah or Portland?

Home team wins. On a neutral court, probably Utah by 2 or 3 points, imho. But there are no neutral courts...

"Home" games, where I live, start at 4 AM (was 5 a week ago) and the Hawks game will start at the great 7PM.

Wow, where in USA do you live?!?

When asked for his opinion on this very subject, Rudy Fernandez had this to say:

 

[julius]

Don't any of you sleep?

 

[PapaG]

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

Wrong. You posted a thread, then "watched 24" for an hour and a half, then came back to play the victim after you read some of the posts in your absence. I could mention your rabid defense of Douche Bag Ariza and his Flagrant 2 that has so far put Rudy out of 2 games, but I won't.

 

[PapaG]

Hate to break it to you but Oden isnt an important part of your team this year.

The guy tied for the team lead in double-doubles isn't an important part of the team. Derrrrrrrr

Yup, that's what I think, too. Utah is a bit better than Portland, if both teams are healthy, but both teams are so home-court-centric that it washes out such small differences in "neutral" team ability.

Well, it was nice while it lasted.

Tied in 2nd in the division, and back to 7th in the West. Damn.

2 for 2 on getting jinxed by bringing it up

Kind of funny, if you think about it.

 

[MrJayremmie]

Yeah, the "We will go there and show Utah how its done" wasn't a good thing to say. Oh well, swallow it and move on. Off to the next game (which we need badly now).

 

[oldmangrouch]

Jazz are 3rd best! In their DIVISION!!

Blazers= 1st place in the division.

No offense Eric, but I get the feeling you are taking this waaaay too personally. Why the hostility towards the Jazz?

We're being jinxed by a guy in Los Angeles.... it's not even fair.

Yet not unexpected.

That was the first quote I was looking for to put in my sig but I found this one where he said "book it"

 

[DaRizzle]

good morning bitches

Fear not. Utah will lose today.

I'm not meaning to hijack this thread, but as I'm watching the waning seconds of this game, I just have to shake my head and say to myself, how in the wide world of sports could the Seattle community let the Sonics get away?!! The folks here are just, well, rabid.

The Seattle community didn't have a single chance to affect the situation one way or another.

 

[PapaG]

The Seattle community didn't have a single chance to affect the situation one way or another.

Yep, and one of the great ironies is that the governor who was basically elected by King County " voting irregularities" shut the door on any state intervention to try and keep the team.

So sad.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Never has this been more true for me

Goodnight

Look, NBA.com actually has Portland and Atlanta listed 1st in the conference standings...at least the glitch is there at the time of this posting.
