In the thick of Jazz country and have always hated this team, from their Sloan, Stockton, and Malone days...they were boring and predictable, something that I couldn't tolerate at the time, but something that I have grown to appreciate more recently. Now, it's hard to dislike this team since they said good riddance to D-Will. They are a throwback to the physical and hustle-style play of an era of the NBA that is largely long gone. No, they don't have the superstars that other teams do, but they make it up by crashing boards, blocking shots, and being aggressive on offense.
I hope this team makes the playoffs...what do you guys think? Can they do it? They might batter a team in the first round and make it tough on them in the second...
