HEARTBREAK AND TOURMENT



We have been grieving the last few days over the Jazz losing to the Lakers in the second round of the playoffs. The Jazz beat the Rockets in 6 games (if they were going to lose, they should have just lost this series so Tim wouldn't have had to feel so guilty about going to the Jazz/Lakers game on Mother's Day!;)), then moved on to the Lakers and lost in 6 games. Last year they made it to the Western Conference Finals and lost to the Spurs. Some would argue that the Utah Jazz is one of the best teams in the league as far as depth is concerned. A lot of teams have some superstar players, but look to their bench and they fall short. The Jazz on the other hand, have some amazing starters (no Kobe Bryants though) and a great bench, which makes them a strong team through and through...... then why can't they win a championship? I don't know. They have had so many opportunities, but just seem to always let it slide right through their fingers. Every year we have so much hope and then our hearts get drug through the mud! It seems now we have nothing to do. We no longer have to plan everything around the Jazz games, shell out bookoo bucks for playoff tickets and ride the the emotional roller coaster of wins and loses. Before we know it though, come October, we will be back in the swing of things.
