“This chick(The Lakers) is toast!”

The author's views are entirely his or her own and may not reflect the views of the Utah Jazz.“Ray, when someone asks you if you’re a god you say YES!”
Do you? Well then yes! For I’ve seen the future and it is sweet. Sweet like the nectar juices that fall from a Beto’s burrito. The future I speak of my friends is not one of flying cars (“Where we’re going we don’t need wheels.”), but of golden trophies and hanging banners. I have seen a future where the Lakers slip up, Where the Jazz sneak a home win in an LA playoff series. Where a shadow of his former self Gasol, weeps as he must smell the armpit of failure as everything comes up roses for a man they call ”Big Al”.
I have seen this. I have! I know it will come to pass to. Why? Because I’m proven. I’ve already done this- seen into the future and brought back a sample fact. I did it the first time I submitted an article to become a Jazz writer (obviously I was not chosen). Below is an e-mail untouched (pardon the spelling) from 7-13-07 submitted to explain why I should be a Jazz writer (they were not named “The Jazzbots” yet). In it I made a statement concerning one Deron Williams.
”I DON’T CARE IF IT”S A “CENTER” OR AN “ARENA”, I LOVE JAZZ BASKETBALL!”
Jazz basketball is as Utahan as “frysause”, “heck!”, or “family night”. It is a great equalizer in the community. You don’t get to pick whether you’re a fan of this instate NBA team or that one (i.e. California & Texas), you are either a fan or you’re not. As a Jazz fan I have come to realize a few things: John Stockton is a the greatest “true” point guard ever, The 1998 Finals were football games played on hardwood, and that Deron Williams will soon be known as the deadliest man in the NBA.
I love Jazz Basketball and would love to further explain why I believe it saved Utah sports, put SLC on the map, and has diversified what is now an incredible place to live if you love basketball.
My Name is Kelly, I am a Realtor working for Equity Real Estate specializing in the Davis County area, I’ve been married just over two years, my wife just gave birth to our first little girl named Pearl, and I Love Jazz basketball.
Is Deron Williams not known as one of the deadliest men in the NBA now? He will be even more so in a year from now.
Final thought: Take heart; all we need is one game in LA!
Jazz in 6! 2011

I’m with you Kelly. There is NO BETTER team in basketball than the Utah Jazz. The Stockton- Malone- Hornacek team made that completely clear to me. They didn’t get the big door prize, but they led the way to greatness by their relentless pursuit of excellence. When the golden boy lakers were looking at the camera’s for approval, the Jazz were looking at each other. That says it all right there as far as I’m concerned.
Now, these many years later, the Jazz is still the team that is committed to playing the game on the floor- not in the media. What I saw Tuesday night at the Honda Center was a team who’s still looking to each other and focused on the real game on the floor. Gooooo Jazz!
Agreed Trudy, the Lake show encircles all that is wrong and evil in the world… them and Diet Coke.
We even did a daily series on http://www.sportscavelive.com of “why I hate the Lakers.” during the playoff match-up last year.
It all comes down to the second team; We have to have one of the top two or three in the league to have a chance in a series with L.A. The question is do we already have a top two or three second team?
3 stars for the Ghostbusters reference.
Btw, it’s “where we’re going we don’t need roads.” Just fyi…
Good article though, I hope you’re predictions come to pass. Nothing would be sweeter than to send the Lakers fishing early next spring.
Who couldve guessed the first point guard drafted that year wouldve been good?!?! haha, just kidding. I did like the part about the burrito from betos tho.
Uh oh, Colten, you’re on to me! HAHA!
A.G., You caught the movie references in the post, but do you know where I got the name “Dignan”?
Hint: the “Lawn” Rangers.
Stumped on that one…
Fabulous blog.
