Being a Jazz fan this season may be the end of me. I do not know what is going on with them, but they keep heading into the 4th quarter of games with large deficits. Now, obviously, I like to see them come back. It is fun to watch, but it is also stressful. What I would like to see them do is play the whole game like they have been playing the 4th. I am Jonesin for a blow-out. It seems as if they start strong, 34 points in the 1st quarter against the Knicks. But then they slow down until the 4th (10 points in the 2nd, 17 in the 3rd, and 24 in the 4th, also against the Knicks). Now, it is obvious that every game is different, but it seems that the Jazz really struggle the most in the 3rd quarter. Not sure if this is due to resting the starters and playing the younger guys (and Gira). But this is going to have to change if the Jazz want to win the division and go deep into the playoffs.
That being said, I am still happy with the Jazz this year. They are better than I think anyone thought they would be. Before the season started I thought they might win 48 games and go into the playoffs as one of the lower seeds, MAYBE they would win the division. Well, expectations have changed. Not winning the division will be a huge disappointment and anything less than the Western Conference Finals will be disappointing as well. (Allen Iverson is an A%@hole)
One last thing, how about the title of my blog? Very original and witty don’t ya think? I think I will call the Salt Lake Tribune and suggest they use it after the Jazz go on a winning streak. They will be so impressed they may give me cash for contributing and sharing my brilliance with them. I am awesome!

Um, your title isn't that good to tell you the truth. I could have come up with something much more blogworthy. Like, "I'm Jazzed" or "Jazzy Jazzy Jump Dunk." Either way you look at it, these both beat yours hands down. Before you tell everybody about your misinformed awesomeness, you might want to step back to realize you are not as awesome as you once thought. HA!
I do have to admit that "Jazzy Jazzy Jump Dunk" is pretty awesome, but perhaps it could be improved upon. As the leading Civilian of the Quarter (MAPA), I suppose this task falls to me. How about "Jazzarific Jazziness" or "Jazzin' it Up, Malone Style?" Clearly these are better. Also I am the Assistant Regional Director.
