We're In First Place.

I just care about getting one of the top 4 seeds.

 

I have every right to celebrate where we are right now. FIRST PLACE, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

We may not hold onto it over the next month, but we're here now so I'm going to enjoy it.

 

It is a jinx .

 

As you should...you just shouldnt use that fact as reason POR is better than Utah....cause they arent

 

Otherwise you are trash talking while you have a chance.....

 

Yes, they are. The whole point is to win. The team with the better record is the better team.

 

In what way is Utah better than Portland? We beat all the great teams they beat. And we have a better point differential. Jazz have three current or former All Stars. We have 1. And yet, we have the better record. We've had injuries for all but one of our starters and we have held it together nonetheless because we are deep as fuck.

 

Did you just forget everything you just read in this thread? Or did you just not read it the first time?

 

False...So you are telling me in the east where CLE and BOS have traded the top seed several times that each time it switched the team on top is obviously the better team?

You are just gonna ignore the major handicaps Utah had to start the season ....ok

We have less All Stars than Utah. And we have had a ton of injuries too. Rudy's been out twice. Blake was out for a few weeks. Oden's missed 19 games. Webster, who was primed to have a breakout season and probably be our #3 scorer, has been out the entire season. And our only All Star, Roy, missed about 4 games and without making excuses, we won two of them, beating Boston and Detroit. And Joel, who is our only available center at the moment, has been playing with a broken wrist for a couple months now.

 

to far less important players

 

You mean Steve Blake isn't as good as Deron Williams? Neither of them have ever been All-Stars

 

Boozer, Okur, and Kirilenko have been all-stars, I don't consider any of them better than Aldridge.

 

I wonder what excuses you'll make for the now healthy "kicking ass" Utah Jazz as they continue to extend their losing streak tomorrow.

 

Boozer missed 45 games
Deron missed 14 games
Harpring missed 16 games
AK missed 15 games
Okur missed 9 games

POR injures this year are not even in the same ballpark as that

 

Webster has missed 65 games, more than any member of the Jazz. As a result, we have had to rely on a teenager from France who wasn't even expected to play this season.

 

I know I wont base my opinion on one game...thats for sure

 

really...thats your argument back to me?


OOOOOO oh no! You are missing a 10/4 guy...wow, that is much worse than the Jazz

 

Let's forget that they just played 3 OT's today, but if you call Boozer @ 80% healthy, sure they don't have any excuses to lose to one of the top teams in the NBA this year.
