hollinger likes the jazz to go to the finals.

Personally I don't see them getting past LA or San Antonio, but you never know what's going to happen . . .

I bet spurs get eliminated by the suns...And the lakers will be really beat up because the Nuggets are full of thugs that will hack the crap out of Kobe and the gang. The Jazz will get by the rockets. And I believe they will get through to the Western Conf. Finals for a showdown in the desert against Phoenix. They have a chance, but will need to win atleast one on the road.

I think if the Jazz were able to get a player like Samuel Dalembert without giving up any core players then they could be huge contenders. Dalembert is a solid Low Post Defender and Rebounder...The jazz huge weakness is their lack of a low post defensive presence from a center.

I was about to post this =D

did you see the other day he said, NO v UT in the WC finales he says should be a best of 9 because it will be awesome

Yeah, I thought it was interesting that Rafer Alston: out for a few games, injured in a game with the Nuggets. Deron Williams misses part of a game, injured in a game with...the Nuggets.

I am starting to get concerned about another Celtics/Lakers run. There's a lot I don't know but I wonder about the trades that brought those 2 so much wealth of talent.

As to the other nba thread, I also think the Suns should have pulled it off.
