Guess who I met??? - Danielle

BallHype: hype it up!

[At this rate, Danielle will have a pic of every Jazz player by then end of the playoffs.]

So, last night for Jac’s B-day we went to the CPK at the Gateway. And then we went to the movie theatre there and saw 21. It was pretty good, except for the lady that let her little kid run around the movie theatre with the light up shoes. Seriously people, don’t take your baby to a movie and certainly don’t let them walk around.

And then we were going down the escalator, it’s around 10 pm and there’s hardly anyone around. I see these 2 really tall guys walking out of CPK and headed in our direction. I takes me all of 3 seconds to realize that it’s Morris Almond, who recently just called up to the Jazz from the D-league. So I tell Jac, Madison and Camille and they’re like you should ask him to take a picture. I was like no, I don’t want to bug him. But, they were like you’ll regret it if you don’t. So, I was like “Hi, I don’t want to bug you or anything, but is it ok if I get a picture?” He was like, “We’re nobody special, but yeah I’ll take a picture.” To which I responded “Yeah right, I saw you knock down that 3 the other night!” He was so humble and sweet and really down to earth. He was so nice and took a pic with me. He just kept saying he wasn’t anyone special and I said thanks, and that he was great.

So, he definitely was really nice. I hope that the Jazz keep him around for awhile, because I think he is going to develop into a fantastic player. (If Jerry would let him off the bench more often.) So, thanks a lot Morris or Mo? Idk what to call him. You totally made my night.

He was soooo tall. And please disregard the fact that it was late and I had just come out of a movie theatre and look like a bum.

BEST NIGHT EVER!!! - Danielle

BallHype: hype it up!

[I’ll turn it over to Danielle for her recap]

So, I went to the game last night. It was luxury and amazing. Our seats were like 5 rows behind the Jazz. The fact that I totally don’t know how to take good pictures is very evident. I need help. So, I should have had good pics, but this is what I wound up with.

Poor Ronnie B. It’s probably really hard for him to sit and watch. But, he totally needs to get better for the playoffs. Also, he’s a sharp dresser and that’s luxury.

KK’s brothers were there. They look a lot like KK.

Ok, so I know that the mascot is the Jazz Bear, but there was this little Jazz Cub sitting in the front row. I don’t know why and it was a bit creepy.

I was so into the game I completely forgot to take pics when the Jazz were shooting down on my end. Oh well.

Yeah, I was so close.
So, anyway here our my thoughts/observations on the game:

-I totally locked eyes with Memo, CJ and Fesenko (who is goofy and watches the crowd most of the game). I was giving CJ the “you’re amazing, keep up the good work” look. And to Memo the “you have a funny haircut, but you’re the Money Man” look.

-Getting 4 Korver’s for the price of 1 is very luxury. Definitely worth the expensive ticket. Thanks Daddy!

-Andrei’s wife sits across from the bench and does some kinds of weird sign language to him during the game.

-There are a lot of posers that sit in the lower bowl. Come on, you live in Utah. Get over yourself.

-The Jazz defense in the 3rd was AWESOME.

-I was surprised at how low scoring the Spurs were. 64 points??? Are we sure we weren’t playing Miami last night?

-Unfortunately I didn’t hear Jerry drop any F bombs. But, my neighbor and an older lady a few rows away had some rather interesting things to say. Also, did you hear the guys yelling out “Parker’s a pussy”? Innapropriate. They should have been boo-ing Manu “The Effing Flopper” Ginobili.

-Did anyone else hear the chants for MVP when Deron was shooting free-throws? Of course I joined in. I think a lot more people read BBJ than we think.

-I yelled out “GO CJ!!” when he came off the bench. I know he heard me and totally knocked down a 3-pointer.

-I was really worried when Deron went back to the locker room at the end of the 1st because right after one of the trainers came out and headed into the stands. I thought maybe he was trying to find Deron’s wife cause something was wrong. But, everything was fine and Deron came back and did his thing the rest of the game.

-AK played really well last night. He was more than half way to a triple double.

-Matt missing 4 lay-ups in the 4th quarter, even in a blow-out, is unacceptable.

-Jerry should have pulled Matt and put CJ in a lot earlier.

-I’m really scared for the game in San Antonio now. It’ll either be amazing or terrifying.

-BEST part of the night, I got to high-5 Deron, AK, and KK when they walked into the tunnel. That’s luxury.

Overall, it was an awesome game. I really don’t think I’ll go again this year unless I can get 1st row tickets because not much could beat my seats from last night!!
I was thinking that this will probably be the last Jazz game I attend for like 5 years, not because I wouldn’t love to go, but because I’ll be in Dental school far away. That makes me sad. But, there’s alway Christmas break. And at least it ended on a very high note. Good game boys, and thanks for not breaking my heart.
P.S. My mom and sister totally saw my Dad and I on t.v. That’s luxury.
