I know this is not motorcycle related but....... WTF is wrong with the Utah JAZZ????!!! We beat Houston 3 out of 4 games in the regular season. They are breaking down in the finals. My bro has Playoff tickets and we get 1 game per series. Hopefully they make it past the first round. AHRRRGE!

Grrrrr.. I don't want to talk about it. They have completely fallen apart in the last two weeks. It all started when they didn't show up to the Blazers Game (I was there). I thought there was hope for my Jazz this year. Hopefully Jerry won't retire until he can get a championship in Utah.

I don't follow them that close anymore. Maybe it's time to place a call to Stockton-to-Malone and Big "T" Thurl Bailey. I bet even coach Sloan could deliver some quality minutes, or make a free throw or two  .

What really Sucks is I used to hate the Jazz. I just have started to like them this year. As good as Malone was I can't STAND the guy. They better get their act together.

Phoenix Suns all the way (hopefully) The lakers could not beat em the other night with their patented non team effort "Kobe" ball.

BOY! I agree with you there Kevin.
The Suns play the game the way it should be played.
I don't think "my" Lakers would know what a friggin' "Pick and Roll Play" was if it bite 'em in the arse!(I still don't know why the word "arse" is allowed around here and "a$$" isn't, BTW)
I'm still thinking that as good as the Western Division teams are at scoring and offensive(Suns, Mavericks), that come the Finals, those "WIDE BODIES" from the East are going to apply the "muscle" and take home yet another Trophy this year.
"Bangin' bodies" will usually win out in the end, in the NBA.(DEFENSE!!!)
In fact, I KNEW the Lakers were destined to lose that game last Sunday when for the second time in about a minute in the 4th period, and with the game very close at the time, that great "6th Man" o' yours, Barbosa, went straight to the hoop for a lay-up and that kid Andrew Bynum(Laker Center)DIDN'T knock his ARSE on the floor for his trouble.
(remember Celtic great Bill Russell's famous quote..."You come into MY OFFICE, and you WILL pay the PRICE!")
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I never really liked him as a person, but I always like him on the court (until he defected to L.A.)

Sigh... yep, it has almost always been the case throughout history. It's one of the reasons I was glad for the re-alignment.

Kobe ball failed miserably. Le Miserable.

Oh, on the contrary there Kevin. All is NOT LOST for "my" Lakers, ya know. I understand at this very moment, Jerry Buss is on the phone in efforts to retain the services of a COACH who will teach the BASICS OF BASKETBALL, such as the afforementioned (above) "Pick and Roll" play, and moving WITHOUT the BALL on offense, and SETTING PICKS on the "weak side", and BLOCKING OUT and POSITIONING one's self for REBOUNDS, and the general fundamentals of DEFENSE...to "my" team!!!  (Okay, I admit it....the Lakers are toast!!!)
