Jazz 101 - Mavericks 99
100th Straight Jazz Home Game w/ Preseason
94th Straigt Regular Season Jazz Home Game
wow.. tonight's game was great and i don't even know where to start with it.. let's see..
two major milestones.. my 100th straight Jazz home game, and sloans 1000th nba coaching win.. first, me.. i haven't missed a Jazz home game since the end of the 2003-04 season.. the start of the streak was a preseason game vs the Knicks on October 19th, 2004.. we smashed the Knicks 113-89... they were being coached by Lenny Wilkins at the time, marbury only played 11 minutes and scored just two points.. we had players like Raul Lopez, Curtis Borhcardt.. man, i'd even take Collins over either of them... tonight, even the person who scans my ticket almost every game knew it was 100 and he congratulated me when i went in.. that was awesome.. anyways, back to the game..
the Jazz played well tonight and we outscored the Mavs in every quarter.. i was a little skeptical about us winning the game before today, i'll admit it.. the refs sucked for the first half, but things mellowed out at least a little and were better for us in the 2nd half..
i always love beating the Mavericks.. ever since that lame playoffs loss in 2001 after going up 2-0.. even though they're a different team, they'll always be the Mavericks and they're still owned by Mark Cuban with Dirk... congratulations Jerry for the 1000th win.. the arena started chanting his name with about a minute left. i was hoping he'd wave or something, but he couldn't have gotten off the court fast enough tonight once the game was over.. still, congratulations jerry.. you're doing us well..
so see you Friday night for the Kings game.. it will be my 101st straight, 95th if i don't count preseason.. that's quite a streak, i'm not sure of anyone else that's been there that long.. maybe i'll stop taking the camera.. anyone?
enjoy the pics...
