Rewind: Utah Jazz
Every year we see a unknown team start off the season with a bang. This year, just like any other, their is a team that is doing just that. This team has had its ups and downs the past couple of years, with the loss of the best combo in history. When they lost Karl Malone and John Stockton their team begin to slowly fall apart piece by piece, until they found themselves at the bottom of their conference.This year we see a completely different Jazz team, that is led by Carlos Boozer. The Jazz have come out strong so far this year with a 11-1 start, their best start in team history. Do the Jazz have what it takes to win the Title this year or is this just a fluke start?
The Jazz are packed with talent this year starting with Carlos Boozer, who is is having a career year averaging 22.7 ppg and 12.7 rebounds a game. Boozer isn't the only reason the
Jazz are on top. With the off season addition of Derek Fisher the Jazz get 3 point support from one of the leagues best. Derek is also a proven veteran who gives experience to this young Jazz team. This wouldn't seem to be enough, but they also get support from second year player Deron Williams, who is so far averaging 18.3ppg. With this kind of support the Jazz seem to have the talent they need to make the playoffs this year.
Though their past few seasons have been nothing but disappointment. This year has given the team new hope for the future, and possibly some new hardware to take home.This year could be the year the Jazz fans have been praying for, but we will have to wait and see how the rest of their season shapes out.
