Picture for the Game

The Rockets owe me this victory. Me. Personally. I had to spend the last 12 days in Utah. So they owe me.

Those 12 days were the longest 6 weeks of my life.

Fun facts I learned about Utah:

- The skiing is awesome.
- Everything else sucks.
- Norway thinks Utah has too many white people.
- Put that many white people in one place and the food is guaranteed inedible.
- All beer sold in grocery stores is limited to 3.2% alcohol content.
- Regular beer and all other booze can only be purchased in 'state stores'. There are roughly 3 of those stores in the whole state.
- Alcohol bottles in restaurants must be out of view of the customers. I'm serious. Utah doesn't mind if you drink it. They'll take your money, after all. They just don't want to see the bottles. In other words, Utah has codified their hypocrisy. It's the law.
- It's no wonder the Jazz play dirty. I've seen Salt Lake City. It all makes sense. All this time, I thought they were cheap-shot artists because of Jerry Sloan's influence. I was wrong. They're a dirty basketball team because they have to live in Salt Lake. It pisses them off - and I can't blame them anymore. SLC is brown piled on top of brown, with zero architecture, zero charm, a sewage pit they call a 'lake of salt', and a political climate somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan. It's drab. It's dull. The ennui is stultifying. And if I had to live there 9 months a year, I'd be throwing elbows, too. (But I wouldn't flop. Some things are just sins, no matter where you have to live.)
- I mentioned the beer thing, right?
- The Albertson's off Wasatch Road delivers your groceries to your lodge/condo. That part was cool. Only $15. But here (for those of you who like to cook) is a short list of the ingredients they didn't have: Cilantro, queso fresco, ANY fresh herbs, cushaw, asparagus bigger them a #2 pencil, rib eyes bigger than asparagus, ANY decent Spanish tempranillo, white beans, Tony Cachere's, ANY fresh peppers, aaaaaaannnnddd...ice trays.
- I saw a black guy on my 6th day in Alta. All the locals were staring at him like he had on a grass skirt and a penis sheath.
- They all talk like Sarah Palin, don'tchaknow? It makes you want to stab something in the throat.


I'm so damn glad to be home.

Go Rockets. Avenge my grief.

rockits ar fat.

Jazz by 10+.

Edit: And Alta is for phonies by the way, that's why you didn't see any culture. It's where all the white people go from around the world to complain about snowboarding and poor people.

GO JAZZ!!

It is interesting to note that, despite all that the second poster said, Utah is statistically the happiest state in the US, SLC is the healthiest, most fit city in the US, and Houston is the 6th fattest.

I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin...

Where's CuttingEdge to slash these Utah Jizz

Go Rockets

Key notes to the game:
Kirlenko will flop
Okur will flop
Sloan will flop

I cant wait till Deron Williams leaves this **** state and team

Apparently, everything is bigger in Texas including ignorance and misinformation. Thank you for supporting our tourism.

Rockets fans tone it down, and if you Jazz fans are going to return the smack talk then do it on your own board.

I love joking back and forth with Jazz fans on these boards just as much as the next Rockets fan, but I get a feeling that things are going to heat it up pretty fast and we're only 6 posts deep into this thread.

Consider this a friendly public warning to everyone. Please keep it orderly or Vator and I are going to have to take action accordingly. Thanks.

wow so many utah trolls in here already..

Utah has to realize that at the end of the day there is only one thing that matters and that's championships of which we currently have 2 and the jazz have none.

the rockets will be wanting revenge from the last game particularly yao...... hopefully we can get a win against these ugly retards...

Quick question, HTown:

WHY WOULD YOU PUT THAT PICTURE OF ADELMAN AS HITLER????

It completely ruins the thread. Associating our coach with a bastard as horrendous as Hitler is well deserving of a beating. I'd maybe expect it from the Jazz, but from you?

No Homo.

I am looking forward to seeing how this game pans out. I think that since getting Lowry (and starting Brooks) the Rockets look like a lot better team (IMO, Alston was terrible). Both of them are the exact type of players Deron has trouble defending. Regardless, I have to say I think my Jazz will win. I can't wait to see what kind of flops Battier and Scola pull out of this game (and AK, but he's on my team, so I will just cheer when he gets a call).

Locals don't go to Alta. Just uppity tourists who don't want to share the mountain with snowboarders. I would have recommended Brighton, Snowbird, the Canyons or Park City over Alta by a longshot.

Also, we have a pretty open minded governor right now that is getting rid of some of our silly liquor laws. There are about a million state liquor stores by the way. You must not have had mapquest during your stay.

Well anyway thanks for your thousands of dollars pumped into the Utah economy, a 2 week ski trip in a lodge does not come cheap.

Speaking of accents...don't ya'll talk like the cast of Friday Night Lights? It's a great show.

GO JAZZ! (Here's to us not having to knock you out of the first round for the 3rd year in a row).

Ok, altough I am a Jazz fan, I have not been in Utah never. I don't care if Utah it's the best state or the worst, but I think there's no class in bashing one state.
There's a lot of people who can have their feelings hurt, and don't forget this... this is only one basketball game.
There's a lot of things more important than that. And respect is one of them.

Regards from Europe.

I can take it down it down if it offends you. I just got pics from CF.

I feel so bad for Utah. An entire state is less important to the US economy than a single city like Houston.

Check out this picture of Toyota Center.


I think our arena is more impressive than ESA. Notice those pieces of fabric hanging from the rafters in the top left of the pic.

And even if the Jazz beat us 2000 times in a row, you still hold a distinction that fans of most teams would be ashamed of. You've won fewer titles than the Hawks.

one thing is certain.. since the rockets are on late.. the early game will go into overtime ALWAYS happens.. without fail..
