The Jazz are a #5 seed. There's a reason why the Warriors have 40 losses or 44 if you count the playoffs.

You and krntrackstar need to realize that the Jazz just barely beat the Warriors at their home floor with GS shooting their own foot in the 1st two games. Whereas tonight in Oak-town they showed the Jazz how real home teams play. 110 decipals of pain for the Jazz. Home sweep and a win @ Utah. Conference finals here we go.

if u took teams into consideration, u would have to take kobe out of first team then.

I never took teams into consideration.
I just pointed out the fact that the supporting cast for Boozer (AK47, Deron Williams, Mehmet Okur, etc) is much better than KG's (Ricky Davis, Mark Blount, Mike James, etc).
Even if you were to take teams into consideration, Kobe would still be in the first team. Lakers DID make the playoffs, even if the entire season was a disappointment. Who carried such a disappointment of a team?

The Warriors killed it tonight!

Of course, the idea that Kobe is better than Jordan -- or even the best player in this league -- is as repugnant to some folks as a rectal exam. - Jemele Hill, ESPN

They still need to win the next game though...

i got my money on the jazz for next game. i don't think they'll get into as much foul trouble as they did this game.

Tonight was B. Diddy's response to the Jazz.
The Jazz got into foul trouble because of who?

I agree with what you said man.

With Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba) on your side how can Baron not be MVP?

B. Diddy showing how legit he is.

My question is, why can't the Lakers front office be more like Chris Mullin and the Warriors' front office?
While the Warriors picked up players like Biedrins, Monta Ellis, and Matt Barnes the Lakers chose to pick up players like Kwame, Smush, and Shammond.

because 2 of the 3 players u mentioned are draft picks. matt barnes was a nobody when he was in 76ers. good pick up for them. especially when his contract is below 800 grand. expect a pay raise for him into the millions category.

and also mitch cupcake sucks balls.

not really the warriors only have baron davis who drives to the basket. thats why i always say there luck is going to run out. think about can u always be on fire with shooting 3's all day. i have yet to see a team win 2 series in a row with just stright out shooting light outs. im not saying that the warriors are a bad team but if they dont stop shooting so much 3's there gonna lose.

i have money on the jazz to if the warriors keep shooting and no take it to the hole but if they take it to the hole i have money on the warriors.

oh come on you can't say that.
mullin did a great job in assembling talent but it took him how long? GS has been in a rebuilding mode for over a decade. during that time the lakers have been in the playoffs all but one year, made four trips to the finals, and produced three championships. yeah i hate mitch k. and jim buss too, but you can't say we could've been like them, we could've been like that, everytime a formerly unaccomplished team catches fire and shocks the NBA. yeah, we couldve been like golden state by being like chris mullin... if youre willing to go through the ten year no PO droughts. point is, chris mullin ended up getting it all right this year, but before this season, he had a pretty terrible track record. if ANYTHING, wish for bryan colangelo or jerry west.

Well, if monta ellis gets his confidence back, as long as nellie plays him and give baron time to rest, you will see him go to the hole a lot. Biedrins can also be a good presence inside when they decide to feed him, but yes, the warriors do take a lot of 3s, but that's their style. The only time I have a problem with it is if it's crunch time and they force the 3 when they have to have a bucket.

I agree with you on the 3s. However, the Warrior's only real weakness is rebounding, which they sacraficed when they decided to play Nellie's small ball. What they lack in rebounding they excel in creating turn overs and fast break points. The warriors live and die by the three, but also thrive off fast break points (which they lead the league in this year). Baron isnt the only one who can drive to the basket also. J-Rich has more than enough explosiveness to get to the rim. But who would drive to the hoop when they are shooting nearly 50% from beyond the arc? Yes their fire my extinguish sooner or later, but with the way this team is playing, I wouldnt change anything up just yet. Its a waiting game, but I predict Warriors in 6.

GO WARRIORS!!

I totally agree with you. Do not forget about Monta Ellis! When he starts to feel it he will be a threat when he attacks the rim. Last game showed that he was starting to feel the playoffs. Getting his shoes wet. I agree on Warriors live and die by the three. Their blocking skills are not mentioned much but I believe they can block the ball just as good as other teams.

Go Warriors! We Believe!

i want to see harrington and jackson going to the hoops more, same with ellis. but shooting the 3 balls is the warriors style now, its not too far off from what the suns are doing. if it aint broke, dont fix it. just keep going

I do not see the pistons as underdogs. I find them the favorite to win it all. However I still hope my Warriors can make it to finals and win. But I do believe Pistons have the best percentage on winning it all at the end.

did anyone see the clip of bruce bowen kneeing steve nash in the knockers today? hilarious.

i want to see warriors vs. suns in the western conference finals (since the lakers are out). it would be interesting.

for the east, i dont really care, but i do have to give it up to kidd for another triple double performance.

basketball is life
