Looking into Utah Jazz's crystal ball
So another season is here. The Jazz are coming off a Tuesday rout of the team they embarrassed in the playoffs. Now they play their first home game tonight, and fans are excited to know what to expect from this year's team. To that end, I've compiled a handy-dandy reference guide. That way you can skip the next 81 games and jump directly to the playoffs.
Forthwith is a list of frequently asked questions on the 2007-08 season and the accompanying answers. In other words, The Jazz According to Rock:
Question: Will the Jazz make the playoffs?
Answer: Of course they will. Since more than half the teams in the league qualify for the postseason, any team that fails really has to try. Unfortunately, the Atlanta Hawks have been trying way too hard for way too many years.
Question: Can the Jazz win the NBA championship?
Question: Did the Jazz become more athletic in the off-season?
Answer: Let's be honest. You don't replace a guy like Rafael Araujo overnight. Actually, they did replace him overnight with a big cardboard cutout they found of Captain Jack Sparrow. It works great in practice.
Question: Who will their starting 2-guard be by the end of the season?
Answer: That's easy Kobe Bryant. Just don't tell Kobe. He still thinks he's going to the Bulls. Oh, and don't tell Jerry Sloan either. He still thinks it's a team game.
Question: Speaking of the game, has it passed Sloan by?
Answer: No, quality swearing never goes out of style.
Question: Is Sloan mellowing as the years pass?
Answer: Definitely. Just the other day he smiled once during practice.
Question: So honestly, has Jerry really changed?
Answer: Well, he does have a brand new John Deere hat.
Question: I love Hot Rod Hundley. But when do you think he'll hang 'em up?
