I’ve heard a lot of comparison against the original Dream Team and everyone seems to forget that Dream Team 2 was just as formidable. Now let me hear your opinions. Best answer will come from the best opinion stressed in this thread.

Depends on which pace the game goes. If the pace is slower then Dream Team 2 has an advantage, with their height they will definitely dominate the shorter Redeem Team. But so many good guards on the Redeem Team I think it would be hard for the Dream Team dictating the pace surely is on their advantage. I think Redeem Team has a slight edge here because they are a very fast team, but if they cannot hit their perimeter jumpers that would be a problem.

2EZ!!

Who is the best NBA Playoffs point guard

who has the better team right now:nuggets or spurs?

the nuggets have most of the advantages
Point guard-Billups will abuse tony parker.he destroys smaller points.just ask chris paul what he did to him in the playoffs and he’s the best pg

Shooting guard-jr smith will destroy micheal finley.nuff said

Small forward.Richard jefferson is good but Carmelo will tear him apart

Power forward.Tim duncan is the best power forward in the nba but kenyon martin plays solid d on him

Center-Nene will tear matt bonner or mcdyess apart

people talk about the spurs but they are 4getting that the nuggets are the 2nd best record in the west last year and they got to the west finals.i can see a west finals rematch with the lakers and nuggets again

Spurs, you made individual comparisons and failed to see exactly how much of an unorthodox team the Spurs are as far as play style goes. The Spurs destroy most teams in unison, not due to sole players like the Lakers and Cavaliers, the Spurs work their way around mismatches and opposing defenses and have enough different types of players and plays to exploit most offenses and defenses when they are at their best.

Also, you should be ashamed for basically saying KMart>Tim Duncan and Billups would abuse TP lmao, TP and CP3 are two very different PG’s and players in general, and Tim Duncan is just two smart, and has underrated strength, definitely more than Nowitizki. Last year is irrelevant when you look at San Antonio’s subpar roster and extensive list of injury problems as well, and Denver has lost more than they gained this offseason.

Deron Williams wonderful assists

Will Utah Jazz beat LA Lakers?

If your a Laker fan are you worried?

im a laker fan and im not worried at all. but thank god we are getting the heck out of utah we cant play the refs, the crowd, and the players. but despite all that we almost won both games…we will win game 5 in LA and finally beat the jazz in game 6. so i am not worried at all o not to mention kobe was hurt all game today and we still almost won!! GO Lakers

yea

D-Will, Low on Batteries

Salty, that’s what Utah Jazz have been in Staples Center Los Angeles California. Our Utah Jazz didn’t manage to steal a game on the road against LA Lakers. In Game 2, Andrew Bynum managed to neutralize Deron Williams, oh Andrei  if only you were around. Our good `ol Andrei Kirilenko still couldn’t make it in the playoffs. I guess we won’t be seeing him even Utah Jazz managed to defeat LA Lakers.

We don’t have a giant in the paint, Mehmet Okur is suffering from an injury as well.

Ruptured Left Achillies… what a bummer…

D-will, totally discharged with his score in NBA Playoffs 2010 Round 2 (Game 2) making only 15 points, and 9 assists. Paul Millsap, CJ Miles and Carlos Boozer weren’t shorthanded as they managed to have 26, 20, 20 points (respectively).

Utah Jazz vs LA Lakers final game score ended 111 – 103, Kobe Bryant made 30 points / 8 assists in the game and if only Deron Williams managed to do his “thing” in this game Utah Jazz might have won. Just do the math, LA 111 and Jazz 103.

If D-Will managed to make 25 points (he made 15 in the game) then we could have won by 2 points.

Just wishful thinking, can’t let go of the Jazz to end their Playoffs performance. (Of course the championship too )

Carlos Boozer’s amazing rebounds per game

Carlos Boozer – The Alaskan Beast

Utah Jazz vs Denver Nuggets NBA Playoffs 2010 Game 6

A hard fought battle….

“We don’t want to travel back to Pepsi Center, Denver”

“We don’t want Game 7”

“We want to win”

These are the mindset I saw when Utah Jazz wins NBA Playoffs 2010 Game 6 against Denver Nuggets, in the eyes of Paul Millsap, Ronnie Price, Carlos Boozer with his amazing 22 points and 20 rebounds (18 of those are defensive rebounds), and Deron Williams… all I can say WOW. The match were very physical and hard fought, just as the closing seconds of the match Deron Williams got injured after a pick and roll play and he hurt his left wrist. I hope you are okay D.

Deron Williams didn’t score as much as he did in Game 6, because the overall team scored was distributed evenly to the Utah Jazz players. Everyone contributed nicely and they played as a team today. Deron Williams scored only 14 points and 10 assists, it’s Wesley Matthews who is in the red carpet today with his 23 points topping Boozer’s 22 points.

Denver Nuggets’ Chauncey Billups scored 30 points, Carmelo Anthony with 20 points and Joey Graham joined them with 21 points to pressure Utah Jazz. However, suffice to say that Utah Jazz wanted more this year.

Utah Jazz will be facing again the LA Lakers. Last year, NBA 2009 Playoffs Utah Jazz fought LA Lakers and ended easily with Playoffs score 4-1.

Here’s the recap of NBA 2009 Playoffs (Utah Jazz vs LA Lakers)

The face off of two great point guards are bound to happen again, with Deron Williams that finally matured to be a veteran player expect for another wild show of NBA 2010 Playoffs.

Denver refused easy elimination of the NBA 2010 Playoffs

Denver Nuggets survives from being eliminated by winning Game 5 in their home court in Pepsi Center. This is why I didn’t blog anything about Utah Jazz finishing it off Denver Nuggets in Game 5, the Nuggets wouldn’t be on their top Regular Season Team stats if they are that weak. Even so the Nuggets are missing their coach and settling communication problem with Adrian Dantley.

Utah Jazz falls short in the 3^rd quarter wherein they started trailing with Denver. Denver Nuggets zoomed with 36 points against 29 points of the Utah Jazz. The game ended 116-102 in favor of the Nuggets.

Deron Williams, didn’t lose what he started when the Jazz kept winning. Deron Williams contributed 34 points and 10 assists. Carlos Boozer, help D-will with his 25 points and collected 16 rebounds. Statistics shows that Utah Jazz didn’t lack in defense, because Boozer has collected 13 defensive rebounds of that 16 total rebounds. It’s the bench players who lost their batteries, Kyle Korver was scoreless during his 20 minutes in the game. Paul Millsap is doing good with 16 points, Wesley Matthews with 15 points and Fesenko got only 3 points.

Carmelo Anthony, doing good with his gameplay now and set aside all the drama going in his team. This time the Denver Nuggets’ bench players step up.

If this continues the game might end in Salt Lake City in Game 7, or Deron Williams may have blaze away again like what he did in Game 2 and end Denver Nuggets’ lifeline in the NBA 2010 Playoffs in Game 6.

Utah Jazz vs Denver Nuggets Game 3 and Game 4 reviews/recaps

Denver Nuggets vs Utah Jazz Game 3 – Utah Jazz wins / 2-1

Final Game Scores -  105 – 93

Okay, the image is still not enough how all Utah Jazzer Fans can describe our smirks (or smiles). Monumental game when Deron Williams still have the  batteries to lead his team mates in winning against the Denver Nuggets at Energy Solutions Arena.

Paul Millsap with career high of 22 pts and 19 boards is just what our Utah Jazz needs. The bench guys  such as CJ Miles, Wesley Mathews and of course Paull Millsap should really step up and I do believe & have faith in them that they can do what. Andrei Kirilenko still out of the question when he’ll be able to play again and Carlos Boozer seems to be not in his top shape after the his rib injury.

Millsap was great in the first half owning 18 points already with 100% accuracy (9/9 shooting). I guess the Nuggets didn’t expect Paul to be a threat why he subbed for Memo.

Denver Nugget’s ball movement isn’t good during at the time thus D-will took advantage, he took a lot of steals with weak passes and finish it off immediately. In spite of the double defense given to D-Will he had his usual averages, he scored 24 points and 10 assists.

Me and my buddy, lockenload got very wild and emptied more beer than was expected. But we didn’t end up like this guy:

Denver Nuggets vs Utah Jazz Game 4 – Utah Jazz wins 3-1

Final Game Scores – 117 – 106

Eliminate Denver in Game 5, that’s what all Jazzer fans wanted after D-Will, Fesenko, CJ Miles and Paul Millsap carry on a good game.

I bet Utah Jazz realized now that there’s no stopping now, it’s now or never or all of their efforts will be in vain. So just keep pushing guys and hopefully we’ll grab the championship this year.

The Denver Nuggets started strong, but there is still one problem you must not do when visiting the Jazz in their home court… Ball Movement.

Coach Jerry Sloan do made some risky decisions before but it all comes together and it was very effective in this NBA 2010 Playoffs. Jerry was right in having his reserves step and even they lost the game during the NBA Regular Season. CJ, Paul, Kyrylo and the rest of the reserved did a very, very good job in stepping up in the playoffs.

I can’t wait for Game 5.

If Deron Williams’ twitter is still activate, he have been flooded with “wow” messages. Keep it up Will!

Will on Fire!

If only I could jump this high I could have hit and holed my ceiling. I know every Utah Jazz fans out there kept saying and shouting “Yeah!…. Yeah Baby!”.

I know D-Will wouldn’t have better days (or night) like this one, I know we are far from the long road ahead but hey, beating a team in their very home court doesn’t get any better. With the combined forces of Denver Nuggets’ Chauncey Billups and Anthony Carmelo, Deron Williams wins the game for the Jazz not only in scores (33 points) but also in assists (14 assists).

I thought our Utah Jazz are done for when Deron Williams hurts himself after driving to the bucket with that nasty flagrant foul. The opposite happened wherein he’s like “Wesley Gibson” of the movie Wanted. Deron Wililams was literally overflowing with adrenaline to lead the whole team to win.

It was a good game, a very close one and good thing Paul Millsap and CJ Miles did a good job when Mehmet Okur wasn’t able to finish the game. AK still injured, and Carlos Boozer is suffering injury (rib cage) as well.

I’m expecting more to the Jazz in taking out the Nuggets of the Playoffs, game 3 will be on Friday and I can’t wait for more D-Will adrenaline.

Gotta avail those fam tix folks! EnergySolutions Arena will be wild!
