HERE WE GO AGAIN...

I was going to say "T-minus one hour until playoff basketball" but I somehow become so superstitious around playoff time that I don't want to even make one reference towards our Rocket opponent, so I will refrain. Let's just say that I am extremely amped up for Jazz Playoff Basketball. Is there anything better in sports? I don't think so. The excitement, the drama, the anticipation, the feeling of success. Now I'm sounding like Bill Walton. I just start going crazy this time of year.

I am feeling fairly confident that the Jazz will win this series. I don't know why I feel that way, but I'm just not super worried. I hope that doesn't come back to bite me. Again, my superstitious tendencies at play. But I have a totally different feeling than last year going into game 1 in Houston. I went to the Jazz-Rockets game last Monday, and my analysis is that, while the Rockets played tough defense and played respectably, the Jazz were basically toying with them. The Jazz weren't even playing very well, and they still led by 20 late in the third and coasted. Now I know that playoff ball is totally different, but I just think the Jazz have grown so much this year that we will hopefully win.

GO JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
