I am not, sir. I'm just a history guy.

the crowd is going to be absolutely explosive. i will be at game 4 and i won't leave till i have no voice left. i really expect the jazz to blow the rockets out on this one

I agree this will be the blow out game!Game four will be the close one,but we will still win!

We need to come out and put this game away early. I expect us to win 108-88.

Fixed.

Hmm...not every day you see a Victor Kravchenko shout-out in a game thread. Wonder what @ndrew is going to think of all this?

Great thread...and GO JAZZ!

Vladivostok must be hell right now with his ire.

I have issues feeling proud of the American presidents. Almost all of them are just as equally as corrupt as the counterparts. Meh.

Come on Jazz, we need to close this baby down!

Yeah, all those American presidents were as corrupt as Stalin... I TOTALLY would rather have lived in communist Russia.

The more I think about it, the more I think the Jazz will crush the Rockets at home on Thursday.

Please, Stalin, though he stood for severely anti-american politics, he was still a leader.

McGrady ain't no leader.

This is McGrady...



George B. McClellan

Early in the war, McClellan played an important role in raising a well-trained and organized army for the Union. However, although McClellan was meticulous in his planning and preparations, these attributes may have hampered his ability to challenge aggressive opponents in a fast-moving battlefield environment.

The economical imperialism that followed the win and the rule of the allied nations has constituted for millions of death in poverty and unnecessary wars. Stallin killed his own people, my country says thanks, but no thanks and allows other to die in hunger and disease.

Anyways, let's not get political here cause we will get this thread to go to 100 pages if we do.

Allez Jazz!

LOL! I campaigned for John Edwards. Sean Hannity, I ain't.

It will be very interesting to see if there is a letdown on the Jazz' part after winning two on the road. It would be very easy to come back to the Nuclear Waste Dump Arena thinking the series is over. If Houston has a chance to win in Utah, it's gotta be game three.

I`m not a big fan of this specific thread, but I appreciate the work. IMO, Truman should have been raped by a moose and fed to rats for allowing one of the biggest atrocities in the history of mankind. I understand he`s regarded as a hero in the US, but I just can`t think of him in that way.
Now back to the game, I don`t expect a blowout, cause the Rockets need this game more than ever. But I think in the end, Houston comes up short. Jazz by 11, with a close game until the end of the 3rd quarter.

Nice point about the Stalin-Tmac comparison Bat.

And Duiz, where the hell are you from? You keep confusing me. And like you said: Allez les Jazz!
