The Utah Jazz Really Hate Raja Bell
Don’t mess with Utah. It’s not just Sundance film festivals, snow-capped spring mountains and Mormons in Utah. Deep within the crevices of this moral metropolis lies a fiendish thirst for revenge over wrongdoings. Over the weekend, the bell of vengeance rang for Utah Jazz DNP leader Raja Bell.

Comments from the Other Side - Jazz 2/25
I'm amazed at the number of fans who hate their head coaches. And they all covet Doc Rivers. The Celtics are lucky to have him. Poor Big Al. They really don't like him in Utah. Maybe because he's not being used right, but he always did have problems with defense. I still like him, though. My favorites are in bold. What are yours?
I really, really...
