I've done this the past two years I believe, and it's always interesting to see what everyone thinks on the Jazz board. (Quote this example to get the correctly bolded format.)

I think we have a much, much better shot than in recent years -- to the point where it wouldn't be a hugely stunning upset -- but the odds are against it. Still, I'm all for the optimism permeating the thread.

joe.linnen wrote:if any of you guys think the Jazz will beat the Lakers you have another thing coming

Lol your from Fresno.... Laker fan maybe?

I have respect for what the Lakers have accomplished, but I don't see the Lakers doing as well this year......

My condensed predictions:

Celtics over Lakers in NBA Finals 4-3, this time they take game 7 in LA.

MVP: Durant

I'm with you. I think we all know that the chances of beating the Lakers or making the finals are very, very slim but we like to be optimistic.

To be fair, I think the Jazz have as much of a chance at beating the Lakers as the Lakers do at pulling off the three-peat. Just saying...
