Before the playoffs began, if you were picking the team to be the first to secure a spot on the conference finals, your list would probably look like:
1. Mavericks
2. Pistons
3. Cavs
4. Spurs
5. Suns
6. Raptors
7. Nets
8. Rockets
9. Bulls
10. Heat
11. Jazz
12. Nuggets
13. Lakers
14. Warriors
15. Magic
16. Wizards
But after coming down from 3-2 against the Rockets (including a Game 7 win in Houston) the Jazz won their second series in 5. Something even the Pistons weren't able to do.
Perhaps T-Mac, Dirk and Yao should get together for dinner and say, "Wha happenned?"
Yes, the Jazz are looking good, but they have yet to play one of the "Big 3" in the West. Lucky for them, they only have to play one of them to get to the finals.
ReplyDeleteNaturally, I'm pulling for the Jazz. I will be a lifelong fan of everybody from the 2005 Fighting Illini, including the Chainsaw.
