Maybe just maybe the Spurs are a better team? Maybe just maybe Tim Duncan is the most fundamentally sound player in the league?

The Jazz didn't get to the Western Conference Finals by being lucky. They earned it,,,,they're simply losing to a superior team that will win it's 4th title in 9 years.

By the way, Mike. Your new sig line kills me. That's very funny.

Jamal Tinsley (a season away from playing himself out of the league)
Don't forget the league MVP. He is an awful defender.

It's weird that I'm agreeing with fusnik on something. I don't know that that's ever happened before.

Anyway, I just needed to state that Fisher sucks. 1-9 from the field (2-18 for the series), 1 board, 1 assist and 1 turnover in 30 minutes. Frequently got beat by players like Michael Finley. Frequently sagged off his man to leave Spurs wide open for 3-pointers. Hey Fisher, you offer nothing in the way of help defense if someone is driving to the hoop. Stay home.

And I agree completely about Boozer. It must be nice to be Oberto... move well without the ball, have good hands, and make layups. Ding! 12 points.

The Spurs' 3-pointers made me sick. Every time the Jazz made a move, it seemed, Parker would penetrate, the Jazz would collapse, and he'd find a wide-open guard for a 3. Same thing against Golden State. There has got to be a better way.

You think the Jazz are going to win the series. I don't. That means straight up odds.

But the truth is, you don't really think the Jazz will win the series, so straight up odds will be unacceptable to you.

Right?

Come on, Mike. Surely you understand how odds work.

They started out the series as 10-1 underdogs. Down 2-0, they must be 100-1 underdogs by now. So I will put up my $20 vs. your $2K. What do you say, buddy?

Thanks for letting me know that you don't think the Jazz will win the series, just as I thought.

You're a genius.

It's like SU says. If you have to put the stupid smiley face or little "tic" marker after everything then it kind of takes the fun out of it, don't you think?
