One year later and we are right where we were at this point last year, minus the best center in the world. This may indeed render us better equipt to matchup with Utah, but everyone of us would trade our souls for Yao to be playing tonight. Bobby Jackson was brought in specifically for the playoffs, with Rafer down, the onus is on him, to help Tmac with perimeter scoring. Playoff success is not likely without a post presence/production- Enter the best player in the world, who was not in the NBA last season. Jackson and Scola, are going to have to play huge against Utah. Let Battier quietly do his thing, and hope that these 2 grizzled veterans answer the bell. Just a bit more than 12 hours now.....
Roll player is Shane. X factor is Louis and Deek, the enforcer are Landry and Hayes and Mike, the leader is T-Mac, the distributor are Bobby and Rafer, the Kiss of Death are Steve and Head, The supporting cast are AB, Steve, Loren Woods and the great wall of China Yao Ming. The Director is Rick Aldemand and his assistants.
Oh I fotgot the most important factor in this series and for many series to come is still us the moral supporter. Let us be loud and annoying to the Jazz. Let us change their tunes from Jazz to Blues.
