Jazz time is almost here!!!!

Hello all you JAZZ fans out there. The time is almost here. Tuesday is the first preseason game this year. Saturday was the scrimmage game at the ESA. Jeff (my brother in law) and I went to go see the scrimmage and see how the Jazz are gonna look this year.I was really impressed with #9 Ronnie Brewer, #26 Kyle Korver, and #24 Paul Millsap. They looked like they worked hard in the off season and are trying to get more playing time this season than they got last season. The main four looked really good (#5 Boozer, #8 Williams, #47 Kirilenko, #13 Okur). Mehmet Okur looked pretty trim and a little more athletic than usual. I was a little disappointed with #22 Morris Almond and #44 Kyrylo Fesenko. Both came out in 2007 NBA draft. I don't think that Fesenko is going to make it another season.














One of my buddys was there with his family and we happened to sit right behind them at the scrimmage. After the scrimmage was over D-Will signed his shoes and threw them into the crowd. My buddy caught one of them. If it would have gone another foot further that shoe would have been mine. I posted two pictures of D-Will (#8 for you non Jazz fans) wearing the shoe the my buddy Jason is holding. If you look close you can see that D-Will signed of the toe part of the shoe.

I am getting way excited for the season to start I have followed the team this off season like a stalker. GO JAZZ!!!!

P.S. John Hollinger, ESPN lead writer for the NBA, ranked every team in the NBA and gave a few thoughts on off season moves, draft selections, and preditions on where they will end up. He predicted that the Jazz would win their division and win the western conference. Lets hope hes right.

I think you should have knocked your friend out and taken the stinkin shoe. I hope the Jazz have a good year--for your sake.
