(Denver-CO) The Utah Jazz are the hottest team in the NBA at this very moment with 12 wins in their last 13 games including a current season-high nine-game winning streak.

Wait for it... Wait for it...

Ask me if I give a damn!

I hate the Jazz and everything about the state of Utah minus Lake Powell.

However, I do have to give the Jazz credit for battling through a season riddled with injuries and hardships to even be this close in the hunt for the division title this late in the season. Their leader, Deron Williams missed most of the first month of the season with an ankle injury and by the time he returned Carlos Boozer was sidelined with a strained quadriceps tendon. Sprinkle in center Mehmet Okur missing an extended stretch while in Turkey visiting his sick father and it's no surprise the Jazz were flirting with .500 headed into February with a record of 26-22. They've even had to deal with the passing of their owner.

But, once again, ask me if I give a damn!

These two teams have split their first two meetings this season. Utah took a, 98-94, home win Oct. 29 in the season opener in Utah, but lost to the Carmelo-less Nuggets, 117-97, in Denver. The Jazz have won six of seven at home against the Nuggets and 10 straight overall at EnergySolutions Arena since Jan. 27th, but throw all that out the window, Nuggets Nation, because tonight is going to be a war.

It's no secret that these two teams have a strong distaste for one another. In fact, not many people like the Jazz period. I give you exhibit A.

Then there are these "Jazzholes". They're always good for a prepubescent rift every once in awhile, but other than that what are they good for?

As if that wasn't enough reasons for laughter at the Jazz's expense I present to you something so comical words can not even describe it...

Congratulations, Andrei! You're officially a deutsche bag!

And now, I finally present to you my final piece of evidence in the air tight case supporting my claim that even the Jazz players find playing for their organization a real drag. I like to call this picture, "If I don't play hard Coach Sloan doesn't let me use the bathroom."

Go Nuggets!

Ballhype: hype it up!

Admit it, you were bobbing your head and getting a little grove on for Masha's jam. You dont need to be embarassed by it, just embrace it.

I couldn't tell who scored the first basket in that video but if I give it to Andrei, he still only beat that girl by 6-2. Which is pretty sad but I expect that from a Utah player.
Nuggets will win tonight, no doubt of that. I just know how it works on the true blue jazz site, they talk a lot of shit about Denver and even come over here to make themselves heard. But when their team gets stomped, they just refuse to discuss it and won't even blog about it. THAT is the serious fan base of Utah.
Go Nuggets!

Glad you're a big fan MMG. We love having you. Don't you get that warm feeling on TBJ? Something just feels right huh?

I wonder how many Denver fans will get off watching that video of Masha? Denver hasn't seen a woman since AI left town .

I personally like the switch that takes place after that bologna pick up game. I wonder if that counts as AK's pass for the year...

Ha Ha! CB Jack and Utah are good for at least one thing...a good laugh. I have only just glanced at your site when I saw you over here talking trash about the Nuggets vs everyone else but Utah. See you bums tonight.

It's easy for you to pick on AI now that he's on a down and out team but there were so many games where he dusted you guys. AI has a history of 45+ points per game against Utah.

Yep. Burned us on his way to 2nd place in the NW division and 2 first round exits.

AI rules!

I am glad you finally recognize. Good luck tonight, Boozer will need it because we all know his ankles are prone to getting broken.
...
written by Hammy, March 06, 2009
By who? K-Mart? Nene? Certainly you dont think that those two are going to do it. Besides, Boozer doesn't play nearly enough defense to get his ankles broken anyway. You have to actually be trying to defend someone to get broken off. People just go right around Booz like he is there taking tickets for a movie or something. But his lack of Defense is something that we have gotten used to and the team picks up the slack for him. Watch our boy Ronnie Brewer get 4 steals tonight.

Check out what they are saying about you guys at truebluejazz-

Jazz will win tonight. Its funny to make fun of Utah, but you guys don't really have a history of backing it up. Jazz win this one by ten.

Speaking of a good laugh-when was the last time Denver won a playoff series? Wait, didn't the Jazz take them out that year? Now I get it! I finally understand why you guys dislike the Jazz so much. Don't worry, playoff wins come around about as often for you guys as a full solar eclipse, and I think you're probably due sometime in the next five or six years.

If anyone should be worried about ankles it's Billups. D-Will doesn't give anyone star treatment.

I'm a Bulls fan, so I had a nice chuckle at the playoff 'dominance' that the TBJ guy kept piling on about. Either way, I backed you up in those comments.

And no matter who wins, at least none of us live in Utah.

I'm with you brother. Blazer fan here. Nuggs kicked our butts last night and I can admit that easily. No worries yet though. What I do know is that at the half Utah looks like garbage (even with the 9-0 run) and I don't see them winning the N.W. this year. D-Will is the 3rd best point in the West (behind Paul and Parker - and that's being nice). They have good role players and guys who can have breakout seasons, but nobody perennial.
Just my .02, argue as they will.
Good luck Denver. Portland will make the playoffs....for a long time.
...
written by CB Jack, March 07, 2009
Make the playoffs at least once before you start with that waste of internet space you call a comment Jay.

The 45+ points per game against Utah sure meant a lot when the Jazz beat the Nuggets 6 out of 7 times since the 2005-2006 season. It sure meant a lot when the Jazz beat the Nuggets by 27 points in both games in Utah last year.

Iverson is a one man show. He was infamous in Philadelphia for having 40+ points in a night but still losing the TEAM game.
...
written by AtlantaFalcon, March 07, 2009
Deron Williams is the third best point guard in the West? Are you joking us? I'll admit that the Spurs absolutely own the Jazz, but against the Hornets, the Jazz are 10-2 since Deron Williams and Chris Pauls' rookie years. Chris Paul may have slightly better numbers, but Deron Williams is a threat outside as well. In head-to-head games Deron Williams leads Chris Paul in field goal percentage 53.5% to 40.7%. If the draft were played out all over again I'd take Williams again in a heartbeat provided the Hawks were dumb enough to pass him up again.

The Blazers have a much better future than the Jazz do, buddy.
...
written by Theagreement, March 07, 2009
That's all speculation "buddy"-as far as I can see your Blazers have done nothing yet. I love all of this talk like the Jazz have peaked. Have you had a chance to check the average age of our boys?? Not much older than your Blazers, but we have done a whole lot more over the last few seasons. Only the Lakers and Spurs have had more success than this young Jazz team in the Western Conference playoffs.
...
written by Kobe8, March 07, 2009
I think dominance was your word. Utah has been pretty dang successful in the playoffs if you ask me, and I'm a Lakers guy. Has any other team in the league won as many playoff series as the Jazz have over the last 25 years? I'm not sure, but they are always fighting and one day will win it all. As far as playoff success though, you can't take that away from them, its all history.
