that's going to play a huge role in this series. it will be much more difficult to steal a win in utah than it was in dallas.

The rocket scientists (pardon the weak pun) over at ESPN picked both the Mavs and the Rockets to advance out of the first round.  Both the Warriors and the Jazz stepped up to the plate and proved the pundits wrong.

I don't believe either team has a definitive advantage.  It'll be a fun series.

Maybe a little uncalled for, but not mean.

The author of this thread cited an article that was pro-Jazz.

All I said was that the media guys don't know much, based on their track record.  A pro-Warrior comment, really.

I'm only here because I really dig this series.  I love my Jazz, but I also really like watching GS play.  It's unfortunate, to me, that one of these teams will have to leave the playoffs when this series is over.

And GSoM is a far more interesting place to hang than the blah, blah, blah Jazz blog sites.  A bunch of zombies over there, I tell you.

love that old logo on your sig, shadow...I remember when the Jazz couldn't seem to make up their mind whether they wanted their primary color to be purple or green. Kinda like the schizophrenia the Arizona Diamondbacks' unis went through until this year.

I'm okay with the current jazz look, but there was a stretch from the mid 90s to just recently that the unis were hideous.  Embarrasing, actually.  But I guess that's fitting for the Greg Ostertag era.

spelled backwards is hatu ... good day.

Like I said, I'm only here because I'm pretty excited about this series.  I do happen to be a Jazz fan, but I'm not a dick (at least I try not to be)  I believe that being respectful will earn respect in return.  That's all.  And SERIOUSLY, I enjoy watching the Dubs play.  They play an up tempo, running game that gets your blood moving.  Much more so than the Phoenix suns, even.

As much as I like to discuss the series, the Jazz blog sites are crawling with a bunch of lobotomized homers who think the Jazz rule and everyone else sucks.  No appreciation for the game at all.

As far as coma goes, good for him.  Every community needs it's hall monitor.  I'm not trying to be redundant, so if it happens, I apologize.  But my remarks are probably going to be scrutinized more carefully because I am the "enemy".

Two things in conclusion:

1. If game 1 was any indication, this series is gonna be exciting.
   
2. Don't dis any of my wives.

Peace

You're right about the vintage of the Jazz logo I use.  When I refer to the Greg Ostertag era, I'm talking about those repulsive teal/copper/purple that drug us down for a few years in the late 90s.  Embarrasing.

Geography has made me a Jazz fan, but I really do like the Warriors.  Plus, I respect the fact that every fan has their own preferences and opinions.

It's like country music - personally I can't stand it, but I don't think anyone that does is stupid.  That's just what they do.

And I consider myself a fan of the game.  I'd rather see GS win the series with six more like last night's (neck and neck) than to see the Jazz win by blowing out GS every game.  NOTE: I'm not saying that will be the case, just that I prefer close games over blowouts.

Oh, and I tend to ramble.

Peace

It's nearly impossible to win in Utah, so I hope to hell the Warriors are ready to defend their home court in games 3 and 4, otherwise it could be a short series. More than likely, it's going to seven games though.
