Hey, Jazz fan here. I know this is a bit off topic and lock it up if you want.

Just thought I'd tell you that right now I see you as the front runners. You are winning all the games you are supposed to, LeBron is really playing like the chosen one. He is the best player in the league by a fair margin right now, which tends to be the most important thing in the league, and I think you have a more complete team then ever before.

Big Z looks good, Mo Williams is good enough to get you to the finals at the PG position in the East, and I'd favor you in a 7 game series with anyone in the league.

You guys are fun to watch.

P.S. Try to be nice to Boozer.

Good luck!

Good to have a fan outside cleveland. I have always liked Utah, and hope we can do battle in the finals to come.

Appreciate that Batronuj, Utah is my second favorite team but you guys need some radical changes ASAP if you wanna win the west. Both perimeter and inside defense are huge knocks in your team's game. Sloan needs some advices from Mike Brown. I can understand the Memo-Boozer tandem. They're both soft players but what about Deron-Ronnie Brewer-Kirilenko(Miles) trio? Whenever I watch the Jazz, the perimeter defense makes me sick!

Thanks for the good post. Utah has a nice squad as well, wouldn't mind seeing that Finals match up!

Kind words from a Jazzfan? Makes it hard for me to hate the Jazz even with Boozer on your team!

Thanks for the kind words... Although, I must say, even with the kind words, I can't reciprocate... I hate the Utah Jazz.. Just can't stand them..

Still bitter about that game where Sasha was fouled at halfcourt... That sticks with me..

I just hate the Jazz...(No offense.. You seem like a good dude)..

With everyone saying we will win it all, we will probably get jinxed. But thanks for the good post.

The Cavs champs? Lebron is going to get the MVP enjoy chanting MVP all year Cavs fan, but that's the end of this years journey.

I think that the Cavs can take out the Lakers. That team doesn't scare me at all. The Celtics on the other hand are still a bit of a worry. The Lakers haven't beaten us in years and they still don't play defense.

The Lakers definitely are not a worry. I'd be more concerned playing San Antonio... which is a good possibility in a re-match of the 06-07 Finals.

San Antonio and Denver are looking every bit as strong as the Lakers... and Utah isn't far behind (and Boozer has been out 2 weeks).

Cavs .491 SOS

Lakers .478 SOS

umm Cavs are a good team don't get me wrong but you're fooling yourself if you think they'll win a Championship this year. Lebron is leaving in 2010 too...

About the same number of easy games that the Lakers have had. For that matter, the Cavs didn't have to come back to defeat the Knicks.

Fact is, Kobe hasn't defeated the Cavs in years much less destroyed them.

I love how every time someone starts saying that we havent played anyone good, that soon after, the perfect response follows with the SOS ratings.

Complete ownage.

Nothing like having your foot shoved in your mouth.

i don't see why the cavs can't win it all this year. the lakers don't play enough defense, and got beaten by a tough boston team last year because of it. the celtics do worry me a bit, but seeing that the cavs came so close last year and are now way better than then, i don't see why they shouldn't be able to handle boston in a series either.

oo ya cavs went to the championships and got manhandeled by the spurs well as long as you guys don't face the spur you have a shot, i think the cavs can beat the lakers i actually do but Bostons a no joke team they don't make mistakes like the lakers do and they definitely play better def than the lakers

and by what stretch of the imagination is this year's team not 10 times better than the team that went to the finals?

call boston whatever you want and say what you will about how they play, but they barely escaped a cavs team last year that was nothing near as good as the team this year. Personnel wise, the cavaliers got stronger (especially in the chemistry department). The celtics got worse in that field (losing Posey, the best defender they had to throw at lebron).
