It's late, so I'll make this a quick one.
Dudes, it's here! It's started! This is an awkward time to post about this (because probably I should've posted the beginning of this month when the practices started, or the end of this month when the season technically starts and they play there first game), but whatevs. The Jazz are in full swing, so it is cool. Tonight I watched my first game of the season (... preseason. But let's not get all technical about it), and it was awesome. All that I had dreamed it would be. The Great Basketball Drought is over, at long last. And man, I tell ya, it felt like an eternity. But it's over, and I don't have to be sad anymore. Life is good.
So. Tonight. The Jazz played the Lakers. Again. Which seems weird to me. I guess maybe this is because I'm new to the sport, but I don't know, it seems odd that they would be playing the same teams multiple times in the preseason. Maybe they only play people in their conference, so that makes things weird. That's my guess, anyways. Now, where was I? Ah, yes. Playing the Lakers. They won again. Makes me so proud. I just hate the Lakers. And my cute little Jazz team beat them twice! The Lakers really aren't playing hard, knowing these games count for nothing and all, but a win is a win, and I am pleased.
Reasons To Be Pleased
1. They won. Yeah baby!
2. I got to see Mr. Hayward in action. I love that man. (I'm sure we'll get an un[OFFICIALLY] In Love post starring him soon enough. Don't fret.)
3. I got to use my sweet nicknames (most of which were coined by my father and I), after waiting for almost forever. Which is a crying shame, because they really are good nicknames.
*A Short Glossary of Nicknames*
Gordon Hayward - Gordy, Gordyonion (it looks like Gordy onion, but it's pronounced Gordy-own-i-own. I had to use my imagination with the spelling there.)
Derrick Favors - D-Fav
Al Jefferson - Big Al, El Jeffe
Enes Kantor - Gigantor, Big E
Alec Burks - Burksy, The Burkster
Paul Millsap - Pauly M, The Sapster
Randy Foye - Atta Foye (cute little play on words there)
DeMarre Carroll - DeMarre-O Speedwagon (get it? Like, the 80's band? Good, right?)
The rest are still waiting for their nicknames, but don't worry. They will come soon enough. I imagine you are thinking to yourself, "Huh. Does she really think I care about her nicknames for the Jazz players?" The answer to that would be no, but you should care, because they rock! But really, no. I'm quite certain you don't care. But I love them, and they need to be shared.
4. They won! (it made the list twice, because it's just that cool)
5. They beat the Lakers! This is different from 1 and 4, because it's not so much the win for the Jazz as the loss for the Lakers we're focusing on here.
So I guess the season hasn't technically started yet, but I'm just happy to watch my Jazz again (yes, I have repeatedly referred to them as mine. It's okay. I just love them that much).
That's your un[OFFICIAL] update on the Jazz. Woot woot!
