Josh Q. Public:  Start the car, I know a whoopee spot where the gin is cold, but the piano’s hot.  It’s just a noisy hall where there’s a nightly brawl.  And all… that… Jazz!  -Chicago

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Charles Barkley likes them.  The Round Mound of Rebound.  So do I.  What’s not to like?  This team is hot.  Hot to trot.  Rosalie Totzie style.  Up your nose with a rubber hose.  The Jazz have won two in a row and twelve of their last thirteen prior to the All-Star break.  They won again last night.  They won again shooting over fifty percent from the floor.  Shot over fifty percent from the floor for the twenty-fifth time this season.  That’s the most fifty-percent-and-higher games by any NBA team.  Any NBA team.  That’s hot.  Droppin’ it like it’s hot.  So bring your friends, all of y’all come inside.  We got a world premiere right here, now get live!  The Jazz got live last night all right.  Got live playing at breakneck speed.  Playing at breakneck speed to score 77 in the first half.  Playing at breakneck speed in the first half going 68.2 percent from the floor .  Showing Golden State the door.  Declaring all out war.  Declared all out war on the Golden State Warriors and just blew them out of the gym.  Blew the Golden State Warriors out of the gym for the Jazz’ 13th consecutive win at EnergySolutions Arena.  Their longest home winning streak since the 1996-97 season.  The Karl Malone Utah Jazz.  The John Stockton Utah Jazz.  The Jeff Hornacek Utah Jazz.  The Byron Russell Utah Jazz.  The Antoine Carr Utah Jazz.  The Greg Ostertag Utah Jazz.  The NBA Finals Utah Jazz.  Coincidence?  I think not.  I think this here Jazz team has a good a shot as any to make this year’s NBA Finals.  Deron Williams is  one of the game’s best point guards.  Jerry Sloan is the longest tenured head coach in basketball and has been to two NBA Finals.  Carlos Boozer is a double-double machine.  Double, double, toil and trouble.  Fire burn and cauldron bubble.  Double, double, toil and trouble.  Something wicked this way comes.  Throw in Mehmet Okur.  Throw in AK47.  Throw in Ronnie Brewer.  Throw in those guys and you have a team that competes night after night.  Fight after fight.  People talk about the Pistons’ starting five, how ’bout this starting five?  As good as any in the NBA.  Outhustling folks.  Outshooting folks.  Outplaying folks.  Outhistling, outshooting and outplaying their way straight to the NBA Finals.
