This game reassured 2 things for me...

First...we ARE a top 3 team in the west.

Second...I still HATE the Thuggets. What a joke of a team they have assembled.

Well they're good, but they are starting to remind me some of the old Blazers. I'm glad Paul Allen cleaned up their image.

Is half of this board 13 year old girls? Seriously, I have never went through so much bitching and moaning, even after the win no less.

Especially the guy (girl?) posting the AI fouls 1 by 1. That's ridiculous.

Anway, good win tonight. I do think the Jazz are a better team since getting Korver. GL the rest of the way.......

It's one thing to bitch, but it's entirely another to point out the fact that superstars like AI get some ridiculous calls in their favor sometimes or that K-Mart can be pretty dirty sometimes. Besides, most 13 year old girls watching this game would probably be too busy gawking at Korver to whine about calls :D . GL to the Nuggets too. Sort of.

I don't know how people can't LOVE matt. He gets under more players skin this season than any other player by far.

Great game. Matt 'Laimber' Harpring gotta love it, an unsung hero recently. Great at getting players off their games. Korver is one of the most underated players in the league & his contract is a steal. Williams great as usual. Did it without Boozer & AK :clap:

I've always been thinking about first place, but moreso when our road trip in December ended and we started getting back on track. I've been rooting against Phoenix and Dallas no matter who they are playing.

I think people (me included) used to hate Matt 'cause Sloan misused him.
He put him against guards he couldn't guard and that cost some games. When he's just a spark off the bench, I absolutely love him. He hits his shots, crashes the boards and, most of all, is so physical that whoever is guarding him always loses his head.
Biggest win of the year so far. But I still am going to complain about one thing. Jason Hart. He's still terrible. IMO, Ronnie Price should be backing up Deron. Price was the backup for about 5 games and probably had decent games in about 4 of them. Hart was the backup for more than 30 games and had maybe 4 decent games as well. This isn't even debatable.

Hey fellow, thanks for the note. I will try to figure that out, and as soon as I get the answer, I will let you know in first hand, ok? :wink:

Yeah, I always question the same thing but... nevermind.

Harpring rules.

Unfortunately, I think you are right. We have a disproportionally high number of effeminate adolescence (Can't really point out a specific gender though) on this board.

But come on... AI is making a living off of over dramatizing ticky tack fouls. It really is disgusting to see someone of his talent depend on his acting skills more than his basketball skills.

Well, that was a great game, sucks the Nuggets couldn't come out on top, but both teams really player their hearts out. Someones got to lose, and last night that just happened to be the Nuggets.

I loved the playoff atmosphere and intensity of the game. Got physical early and the refs let them play through it for the most part, which is good cause thats how the games will be played in the playoffs.

Gotta admit, Korver has been great for you guys. Very few players can spread the floor like him, and it really puts added pressure on the other team to have to pay attention to him as well as DWill, Boozer, and Okur. With what 1 (maybe 2 can't remember) loss since you acquired him, thats not a coincidence.

Also, just wanted to get your guys' thoughts on Harpring. He's been one of my least favorite players in the league for a long time, but he seems like the type of guy you hate, unless he's on your team. I like that he gets physical, but he seems be pretty dirty as well, but maybe thats just my perception cause I don't like the guy.

Any ways, great game, looking forward to the final two meetings between these two teams. Good luck the rest of the way, kinda ;)

We get annoyed when coach plays Matty in the wrong situations, but last night he was in his element. He was the one to stand up to the thuggish assaults by Najera and the blue-light special. K-Mart should be suspended for as long as Ronnie Brewer is out due to that flagrant foul last night. Najera's takedown was comical, and he's lucky the refs and players broke it up before things got started, because I really think Harpring would have punched his lights out after that play last night.

I like physical basketball, but I detest it when things get dangerous and guys start trying to legitimately hurt each other. Its funny that Denver wanted to dish it out, but when the jazz responded, they got all upset. Terrible reffing on both sides didn't help things, certainly.
