Are the Utah Jazz a full of floppers and dirty players?

Question

Boozer and Kirilenko really know how to sell those phantom fouls. Harpring is a totally dirty player. The problem is that the Warriors would get technicals on the retaliation when the Jazz would be shoving the Warriors first and getting away with it.
I'm proud of how far the Warriors got this season, but I feel like we were on the cusp of getting to the Western Conference Finals. We were so close to winning the first two games and we could of won last night.

Answer 1

Hey Toolshed! Every time you reply to something you complain about a complainer. HA! you are a true Mormon, oh sorry...moron.

If you got a house full of white people and white players going against a bunch of thugs, of course the thugs get the short end of the stick!

Barnes technical foul on Bozzer was weak, they were both shoving eachother. Utah does have some good actors.

THE WARRIORS BEAT THEMSELVES!

Utah fans, stop acting like they worked the Warriors. Missed Three's and line throws is what lost them the series.

HATERS!

P.S,
Utah fans come up with your own motto, instead of taking our nationaly known motto and putting it on a yellow shirt with a cross through it, saying GO JAZZ on the back. No very creative are you. And nice try at game two with the powdered shirt give-a-way, trying to be the Warriors.

Warriors fans having been coming out like this for the past 10 plus years.

Warriors are a true team!

Answer 2

The Jazz might have flopped a few times, but that's part of the game. If you can get away with it, why not do it? As far as playing dirty, I saw more hard fouls by Golden State than by Utah, but I don't believe that any of them were intentional, they just looked like they were frustrated and unfocused. You can make all the excuses in the world, but bottom line is, the Jazz outplayed the Warriors. The best team always wins in a best of 7, and the Jazz won 4 games to 1. The Warriors simply got beat.

Answer 3

I really can't believe the IQ shown in some of these answers. First, its Karl not Carl. I know, your still pissed about Charles Barkley's comments about the area. That explains it.

Anyone that says that the Warriors are the better team, HELLO, 4-1 you lost, not 4-3 or even 4-2. You won ONE game!!! All series long, Nelson has been saying that Utah is the better team. Even your coach didn't BELIEVE. Your team relies on 3 point and jump shooting. Any coach will tell you that you live and die by the 3 point shot. When the 3 ball is going down, the Warriors will win. Another reason the Warriors lost, DEFENSE, try playing some.

As far as the jazz and flopper's, ALL teams have flopper's. Yes, even you beloved Warriors flop. BELIEVE it. In games 1 & 2 the announcers even said "that was a flop" about Jackson a couple of different times. Yes the Jazz flop, but like I said, every team does it, so that is a poor reason your team lost.

Dirty players? Lets see, one elbow to the head, one mid-air cheap shot to one player going for a layup, your right, the Warriors are dirty players. Come on, the Jazz don't step down to anyone, they play hard and go after the ball. When you play for Coach Salon, you give it your all in practice and on the court. If not, you'll be sitting on the bench. The Jazz have always and will continue to play hard nosed basketball. That is why they are such a consisitant team.

You claim we can't be original and that we stole your yellow shirts, well, I guess your IQ is not smart enough that you couldn't figure out that we were making fun of you. Sorry to confuse you (hint: I typed this really slow so you could keep up).

As far as the shirts in game 2, that was something TNT sponsored. TNT bought the shirts and game them out to the lower bowl seats. Just shows you don't listen to the announcers, they even said it on their broadcast.

And last, if you Warrior fans watched your coaches post game press conferense, he said "this area is the LOUDEST place I have ever been in, louder than our place. We are getting closer, but we still are not as loud." Way to go Jazz fans, that must mean we are dirty fans too.

The Jazz may lose every game the next series, but thats what people were saying about this series before it started, and look what the Jazz did. Only time will tell. The Jazz are a good team, and they provide it both in Oakland and Huston.

Go Jazz!!

Answer 4

Floppers and dirty players? What about Davis elbowing Fisher in the head? What about Richardson clotheslining Okur the other night? And don't forget the foul on Harpring last night...his eye was already turning black by the end of the game! I don't understand why so many people hate the Jazz...we have so many classy, talented players. Nobody thought we'd get this far and it's just killing you guys to think the Jazz beat your team!

Answer 5

You can thank Carl Malone. While he was an outstanding player, in my opinion, Carl was one of the biggest crybabies and flopper's to ever have played the game, next to Reggie Miller, of course and Carl's legacy lives on as it was apparent in the series with the Golden State Warriors. It is also my opinion that Golden State was clearly the better team but sometimes the best team doesn't win. Unfortunately the Warriors have not learned to keep there emotions in check, which is a mark of a true champion. Once the they resolve that issue they will certainly be a force to be reckoned with in the NBA. These are qualities the Jazz have yet to acquire also. Not to worry, The Jazz will be eliminated by either team they will face in the next round. It is my prediction that either team will sweep the Jazz because the Suns or the Spurs both have the experience and leadership to destroy teams possessing no real basketball skills other than intimidation, which is about all the Jazz have going for them.

Answer 6

Every team in the NBA has players that will try to flop to draw a foul, every player has a temper, we all do, but some aren't able to control it as well, I don't think any of the player on Utah's Jazz team, (even though I'm a Lakers fan), are dirty players. The playoff environment brings a whole new intensity to the game, it's do or die in the post season and tempers tend to flare more often than during the regular season so my answer is No.

Answer 7

I don't know about all that, it seems like they both were pulling a lot of crap. But even if you're right, those are the things you have to overcome in the 48 minutes you have. If the warriors made one of the three free throws they missed in game two, we'd be getting ready for game 6 now. From what I saw, we simply got outplayed by a better team. No shame in that, we were in each game until the very end, and frankly I didn't even think we were going to make the playoffs, much less beat the mavs.

Answer 8

First to my uneducated fellow answerer, Ron: Karl Malone is spelled with a K not a C.

Now, as for the flopping and dirty stuff: Are you kidding me? Is it possible that due to the fact that your head is lodged deep inside your rectal cavity, you are unable to clearly the activity on the court. If you could see the court, you would have ween flagrant fouls and technical fouls called on the Warriors while the Jazz just continued to play.

The only thing I hate more than stupid fans are sore losers, and you my friend are both.

Answer 9

The biggest reason Warriors lost last night that they forgot to attack the rim.
On the first half, they forced turnovers and got some easy layups. On the second half, they just resorted to 3 point jumpshots and Stephen "Whoo" Jackson made the whole game his personal playground by going one on one with Matt Harpring.

I don't know that Boozer flops. All I know is flopping and being dirty (as in Bruce Bowen) is a whole different story.

Answer 10

i'd take notably lots a million/2 of the team. The gamers which would be on my team would be Boozer, Williams, Okur, Kirilenko, and Korver. those adult males are consisentley scoring factors each and every night and it is the reason they're winining video games. With addition of Korver that has purely made the Jazz so lots extra suitable team.
