Apparently the Jazz play the Chicago Bulls twice in a row . . . fun, I guess. We also face Portland (which I think just won the 2008-2009 NBA championship, unless the Artest trade actually made Houston win it, I can't really keep up with all the media hype shitty teams get) Go Jazz go! I fully expect the media to spend the entire month of October telling us Jazz fans how Koufos is as good as some magical mixture of Steaks and Democracy put together, and then see him play in 30 some games this season.
