What is it? Trent, Travis, Tracy MacDonald?

Okay, I talked about power in my last post, and the way that it can be used wisely or unwisely. An example of unwise use of power can be found in any media interview with Tracy or what is it?, Trace MaGerty. He’s feeling the power when he starts talking to reporters. I wonder if his team has tried to silence him or curb him in a little. It doesn’t seem so with all of the complaining about everything that the rest of the team seems to be doing. I think I heard something about the last coach, Jeff Van Gundy, wishing he could get T-Mac to keep a lid on it. “They were double teaming me all night.” Sound familiar? Maybe in his own personal bizarro world, he was being double teamed all night. In the reality world, double teaming McGyver was not really in the Jazz’ game plan, nor did they do very much of it.

Previously, I tried not to focus on what seems like condescending statements by McGrady, but in an interview before the recent game at Houston he claims that he truly doesn’t know how to pronounce Deron Williams’ first name. I think I can believe that, because after all Trent Macintosh does live in a cave you know. What a waste of a well spoken individual!

This of course isn’t all about the media game which is a big part of the playoffs, but as far as talking about Jazz basketball, I’m starting to feel just a little superstitious. Every time I predict a Jazz win, which is usually a safe pick, that they should win; they lose. So for now, all I’ll say is GO Jazz!!!!! Nothing more need be said.

    Trent? Travis? Macintosh? Cave? Wow! If that is not immature than I do not know what is. Truth be told TRACY(Tr-a-cee) most likely did not know how to pronounce his name. Im sure you were guilty of mispronouncing a name at least at one point in your life. We all are. Both teams are great teams and in my opinion are the ones to watch in the west. But when you are talking about someone not watching their mouth, why not look in your own backyard and keep a lid on good ol Boozer. Its a game a playoff game, making it that much more tense so get over the trash talking cause we are more than capable of taking you out of this series just as well as you are to us. Sure you beat us last year but lets not forget WE BEAT YOU BEFORE AND WON THAT CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Cant say the same for you and your city. One team. One Dream right, well never under estimate the heart of a CHAMPION!!! GO ROCKETS!!!! CLUTCH CITY BABY!!!! We will see you in game seven!

    Marco, I love your passion! It reminds me of the passion with which Luis Scola of your Rockets has shown during the entire playoffs. While watching a game earlier in the series with a group of family and friends, I heard several people mention how impressed they were with the way that he plays. I hope that our guys play with that kind of passion on Friday night.

    P.S. I wouldn’t mind if Scola played for the Jazz in the future. You wouldn’t mind too terribly much would you?

    Well……I wouuldnt want us to lose Scola but whoever can use him to his full potential I think would be great. He is a wonderful asset to our team. But I cant say i wouldnt want Carlos Boozer on our team. Anyway I love the game and I can tell you feel the same way. I expect an awesome game on Friday.

    P.S
    Tell you what, If we are eliminated Ill root for Utah! But If we win I hope we will have your support! Cant wait!

    To add to the verbal fight I believe that Carlos is a much better player than Scola. Scola is very good on the post and is doing amazing in this series. Carlos has not done very well against the Rockets but did amazing during the season. The Jazz are the better team and will come out on top. GO JAZZ!!!
