Sure, it’s just the pre-season. But the NBA is finally back! And to start it off for the Jazz… a road trip versus the Lakers. The same team that ended the Jazz season last year. Of course, there will be differences between tonight’s game and the game that ended the Jazz playoff run. For example, the game is being played in Anaheim. And the Lakers have Andrew Bynum back after he missed the playoff series last year (and a lot more). And there’s no Jason Hart or Ronny Turiaf or the likes. And Booze is not playing either. Though there will be many who would try to convince you that that’s not a difference. (Zing!)
Sorry. It’s the first game of the (pre-)season… I shouldn’t be ripping on Booze. Yet. Anyhow, it’s time to check out the new-look pretty-much-the-same Jazz as they begin the new season.
Previews also up at…
-The Cowhide Globe argues that not much has changed, completely against my view. Obviously they are wrong and I am right.
-SLC Dunk, home of probably the best gamethread system amongst Jazz bloggers (SBNation did well with that). BBJ wrote a ton… make sure to read it and give me a recap.
-Utah Jazz Review goes over things to look for. I’d agree, but given that it’s the first game of the pre-season, I’d just like to see them not look like total crap out there.
Go Jazz!
