Do The Math; It All Adds Up

“So you’re telling me we have a chance.” -Lloyd Christmas

After being told that the ratio of possibility for him to be with the woman he loved would be about one in a million, Lloyd chose to think on the positive side. After all, one shot is one shot.

This is what I’ve been telling myself since game two of the Lakers, Jazz series and if life is anything like “Seinfeld,” I know that a “one in a million shot doc” is possible. The Jazz’s chances are even better. I’m not sure how to do the math, but the equation that will equal the Jazz coming out of this series and going on to New Orleans will include many factors. This is one of those equations that eluded me in college algebra, but I know that it will include: the exponential positive of the home crowd at the loudest arena in the NBA, Kobe Bryant scoring less than 30 points, Derek Fisher not hitting everything(!), Memo and Kyle hitting the downtown shots, Deron not being afraid of Derek, and Carlos Boozer playing smarter all around. Oh, and a few more steals, tips, deflections and made baskets from Andrei Kirilenko. Add and multiply all of this up, carry the three, and it is still statistically possible for the Jazz to win. Do the math, you’ll see that I’m right.

P.S. The fact that the only D+ that I’ve ever received in my life came in this very same college algebra class was due to prolonged absence during the quarter; I swear.
