Why the Jazz are overlooked

Reckless · Post #1 » by **Reckless** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 5:30 am

tonight i was watching ESPN fastbreak and greg anthony & legler were saying the teams that have a serious chance to get out of the west are the lakers, spurs, and suns

Now I just about tossed my controller at Greg Anthony's head but I realized something

Jazz are overlooked because the jazz players themselves have been overlooked their career

Boozer being overlooked by every single NBA team in the draft
D-will was overlooked in high school and college
Mansap being overlooked 46 times, Memo overlooked 37 time, Ak-47 23 times, KK 50 times
Brewer being overlooked by Chicago and Orlando who both drafted SG's ahead of the jazz
Ronnie Price going from not drafted to backing up Deron Williams
Sloan being overlooked in voting for coach of the year all these years

i guess what i'm saying is the jazz represent a overlooked NBA team and I wouldn't change it for anything

It's Utah... Mormons are worse than Islamofacist even if that exists.

Boozer and his ten wives..

Deron was said to be picked before Paul because he is whiter, since the Mormon church didn't give the priesthood to people of african race.

Jerry Sloan has always been defensive minded player, and so is coach is is naturally boring.

Andrei Kirilenko is Russian, 'nuff said.

Also Utah was the nemesis of the NBA's GOAT and probably favorite player of all time.

Salt Lake City is a heck of a small market compared even to New Orleans, which means less national games, which means more flawed objectivity in comparisons and judgement about the achievement of the team, which means that it becomes under and overrated easily.

Did I mention that Matt Harpring looks like a missionary?

LOL, I have always thought that Harp looks like a typical Utahan. It's hilarious that you said that...

I have to admit though, I love seeing the team so tatted up. My dad hates it. I'm sure most of the typical Mormon Jazz fans hate it. But I think it is cool because it shows that this is not your same ol' Stockton to Malone Jazz team. Not to mention all the "street cred" it gives them...

I dont think he was saying that thats really how it was, more of thats how the Jazz are perceived by the league.

The Jazz are like the spurs, they've been consistently good throughout the last 20 years, so no one even notices it anymore.
There is no success stories or media darlings on the Jazz. The Jazz are just a really good team, which goes against everything Stern needs to make his buck.

Jazz play team ball. For some reason that makes us less of a threat. Conventional wisdom states that you need ONE player that can take over games in the playoffs.

(Deron Williams is becoming that guy, but, I don't think national folks have noticed. I don't remember folks falling over themselves to vote for Deron for the allstar game)

Also, although I generally don't care about such things, have to admit I was surprised to see the results of ESPN's panel of voters doing their own survey for MVP. Each voter got to list 5 names...Deron Williams, zero votes. Even Hedo Turkoglu got a 5th-place vote from one person. Pretty silly.

Because every single player on the Jazz are stupid white White polygamists who have never had a drop of caffeine. Duh!

I am not trying start a post war of anykind, but I think one of the reasons that you are getting over looked this year is because of your play on the road.

Yes, the Jazz beat some quality opponents on the road, but still finished up with a poor overall showing on the road. The same can be said of the Nuggets, and Mavericks. We all finished up with an ugly looking 17-24 record on the road, and these clowns on ESPN look at things like that and take a team lightly (Legler sucks who cares what he says). However, they fail to realize that a team only has to take one game on the other teams court and take care of business on there own court to win a series, and court is now in session.

So, go get your win on the road in the first game of this series, send TMac fishing again, and shut the ESPN Homers up. Good Luck.

I hate it.. Big time National TV stage games such as this one, and the Whorenets game earlier this year, we get blown out like we are the Memphis Grizzlies. WTF Jazz?

Jazz are not over looked the just dont really have any chance this year.

This team doesnt have a real leader like Fisher was last Year Williams and Boozer are from being any type of leaders right now

Thanks, man...I know this may be blasphemy on this board, but good luck in the first round to the Nuggets too. Would love to see you guys take out the Lakers

That's terrific, they'll steamroll the competition.

The reason we're overlooked? Last night's game about sums it up.

Jazz are overlooked because of games like the last one @Spurs, and because they lost at least a dozen games against some of the worthless teams in NBA history.
San Antonio don't get overlooked because they have a number of rings to prove that if they get owned one night, it's just an off-night, and because they don't usually lose a game against a scrub team.
