Hence many people's dislike of smileys. It's easy to use them as crutches.
Narnia, I remember that call. Stockton (or was it Hornacek?) had released the ball long before the shot clock expired. The ball went through the hoop, but it didn't count because the ref whistled it. That created a big enough point swing that the Bulls clinched that game.
I think any win against the Bulls during those championship series was pivotal. The Bulls were so good, and I hated them for that. But I had to respect them. They were amazing to watch. Jordan's final jump shot was beautiful. There was no way the Jazz or any other team were going to beat them.

Meh. I'm not a big enough Jazz fan anymore to argue with any sort of real conviction.
I don't remember which game it was (or even which year), but I distinctly remember a game that turned on a couple of questionable calls. afr mentioned one; the other was pretty much the reverse. Someone on the Bulls fired off a buzzer-beater shot that looked like it didn't quite leave his hands before the buzzer. And of course, this was shortly after they discounted the Jazz player's shot, which actually did leave his hands before the buzzer.
But ultimately, the Jazz are just too inconsistent. Even at their best, they're prone to really sucking it up (like losing by 40 points in a championship game). It's just too frustrating to watch.

Hammer, I really agree with the soup kitchens comment, they are very good here. (But not enough to make me want to stay.)
I find Utah crowded because I used to live on the cascades in Washington. (To any who might be interested, Snohomish, lived in the mountains fairly close to Mt. Baker... like maybe 40 miles?) Very isolated where I lived, there were about 9 people on our street, then it was a mile before the next street of people... oh I loved it there.
Utah Mormons, as Baker said are the nicest and kindest people you can meet. However, when I'm around them, they're always being judgemental. (This is personal experience for where I live.)
quote: 2) they won't try to convert you unless you ask them too. Although, you can expect several warm loaves of fresh bread when you move in. Cookies are also in abundance. They love what they have and will tell you if you ask.
They will at times. Adults are usually much nicer about it and just look over it giving kind of a 'Oh well, you're just different' shrug. Fellow peers at my age will, as I said, throw the Book of Mormon at me. (No joke.) And try to force me to read and believe in its teachings.
