Utah Jazz 2007-2008

Well this season came to an end of Friday night when we lost game 6 to the Lakers by 3 points. It was a rough game to watch. The Utah Jazz had a great season. The team was amaizing this year and I don't think that will change any time soon. The Utah Jazz finished the season with 54 wins 28 losses, and having the best record at home in the whole NBA with 37 wins and only 4 losses. We went into playoffs in 4th. We met the Houston Rockets in the first round and beat them in 6 games. We advanced to the second round to play the L.A. Lakers. It was a exciting series the Jazz lost the first 2 games in L.A. then came back to Utah and won 2 games here at home, so the series was tied 2-2 then we went back to L.A. and lost again in L.A. Then back to Utah were we down most of the game but game back in the end to bring the game within 3 points but we lost when the team missed 2 three point shots at the end to tie up the game. We lost by three which means the end of the road for us this season. I still love my Jazz though! I know one of these years we will get a Championship. We have a really young team with alot of talent, so watch out for the Utah Jazz in the upcoming years because there is going to be a winning team ready to bring Utah their first NBA Championship ever!!!

On to Round 2!

Alright everyone! I told you I would see you in Round two and here I am! Tonight was game 6 of the first round against the Houston Rockets the Jazz won 113-91!

Utah and all of us fans were very excited because we knew we had great odds at home. Unfortunaly we lost 92-94 :( it was a sad day, but we came back strong for game 4 in Utah. This was a great game. Not only did the Jazz win 86-82 but Uncle Miked hooked us up big time with lower bowl seats! It was the best game ever!!! So then it was back to Houston for game 5 we lost pretty bad 69-95 ouch I know! But it all ended well tonight back at home in Utah we won tonight 113-91. So now we advance to round 2 were we get to beat Kobe Bryant and the LA Lakers! So bring it on Kobe!

2008 NBA Playoffs

Well everyone the Playoffs are finally here! Everyone Excited? Well if not you should be things are pretty intense this year! This is the best time of the year even better then Christmas! For those of you who don't know the Jazz finished 4th in the western conference with a 54-28 record. The Jazz had the best record at home in the NBA with 34 wins 24 losses. I believe that Utah has a very good chance of getting their first Title this year, and I am not the only one. According to John Hollinger of ESPN the Jazz have very good odds of winning. Here is what he has to say about it.

2. Why are the Playoff Odds so high on Utah?
There's a tendency to overreact to What Just Happened, so Utah's stinker against San Antonio on Wednesday night probably increased everyone's doubts about this team.
Nonetheless, the Power Rankings have Utah as the league's second-best team, and the Playoff Odds give them the best chance of winning the West at 31.0 perecnt.
The Jazz played extremely well down the stretch. Even with the meltdown in San Antonio included, over the last quarter of the season the Jazz had an offensive efficiency rating of 116.0 -- that dwarfs the Suns' league-leading mark of 111.2. To put that into context, if they had done it for a full season, the Jazz would have been by far the best offensive team of all time.
Utah went 37-12 after Jan. 1, and the number of blowout wins over quality teams is staggering. The Jazz beat the Celtics by 18 in Boston -- the Celtics' worst loss of the season anywhere. The Jazz beat New Orleans by 28, and then again by 22 -- two of the Hornets' three worst defeats of the year. They beat San Antonio by 26 and the Lakers by 24 -- for each, their worst loss of the season. They beat Phoenix by 22 and beat Denver by 27 ... twice.
Overall, Utah won an astounding 18 games by more than 20 points. In contrast, the Jazz didn't lose a single game by more than 20 points all season ... until Wednesday night in San Antonio. And given their questionable motivation in that game and Deron Williams' trouble with a bruised buttock, it's hard for me to hold that against them much when we have 81 games of evidence that they're the best pick in a compacted Western pack.

So go Jazz! Happy and Merry Playoffs everyone! And see you in Round 2!

Open 3 weeks!

So I started working for SpringHill Suites when I moved back to Utah! I started working there 2 weeks before the hotel opened. It was a really cool opportunity to be here to see everything come together for opening day. I got to learn how to clean rooms and make beds the Marriott way haha! We aslo went through a week of computer training that was very helpful even having had Marriott experience I learned alot! It also brought all of our staff close because we were all working long hours together to get everything done! The hotel has now been open for 3 weeks today and is doing very well! We were 100% booked out first weekend open! We are hoping things go well here and if they do we will soon be opening a Marriott Residance Inn here in Lehi also and I will hopfully have the opportunity then to take a few steps up in my hospitality career!

Happy Birthday Noah!

Noah turned four this last Saturday on the 15th. His crazy Jazz fan sister (me) got him a awesome Carlos Boozer Jazz jersey! I am training him to be a true fan. So he loves that he is a Jazz man now and did not take the jersey off for 2 days! He truly beleives he plays for the jazz now and when I tell him the Jazz won he says, "You mean I won" haha what a cutie! So happy 4th birthday Noah!

Dinosaur Museum

This past week I took my friend Chris and Noah to the Dinosaur Museum. It was really fun! There were some pretty cool things there and out of all the cool things there, Noah's favorite part was the plastic dinosaurs, that he could play with at home. Oh well. Chris's favorite part was helping noah find the bones in the sand he got really into it, haha he didn't want to stop till he found the whole dinosaur. Haha my favorite part was the cool star room even though that has nothing to do with dinosaurs and the room was pretty small I still liked it because I like stars! Anyway that was my fun adventure to the Dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point!
