Well, methinks it is time to write about something other than politics. So, today, I would like to say a few things about my boyz: the Utah Jazz.
It seems like just yesterday that I was sitting with Dani in a Chili's, ('cause we don't have cable) swearing, as I watched my Jazz throw their season down the toilet with an atrocious first-half performance vs. the Lakers. Since my childhood I have become accustomed to the sick feeling that comes to my stomach every May or June as the Jazz blow opportunities to achieve an NBA title. How oft has my soul wept over these blown opportunities.
Due to financial strains on the team that will come to a head next year, the Utah Jazz as we know it will certainly change--Larry simply won't have enough money to go around now that D-Will (deservedly) signed his big contract.
So this year is a very good opportunity for the Jazz. We have 2 gold medal olympians and a seasoned supporting cast. With the Spurs not getting any younger and dealing with injuries the Jazz could have an opening. I still think the Lakers will be formidable though.
Unrealistic prediction: Jazz win title.
Actual prediction: Jazz return to the finals.
