Good to see Deron and Dee move on to the Western Conference Finals, where, I believe, they will meet their end.

Here are a couple quick thoughts after watching Game 5.

I love to watch Deron play and I’m happy for the minutes Dee gets, but I don’t think I will ever be able to truly root for Utah, they still have too much of that 90s era Jazz mystique. I swear Jerry Sloan has it written in his contract that he will only coach goofy, unappealing players. Think about it: Greg Ostertag, John Crotty, Jeff Hornacek, Andrei Kirilenko, Mehmet Okur, Gordon Giricek … this is ugly basketball.

How is Dee Brown such a fan favorite? This kid gets more respect for doing less than anyone I can remember. At halftime Charles Barkley (by the way, if Chuck has something to say I’m listening … its always worth it) made a point of giving Brown a shout-out. People go out of their way to praise this kid. He’s not even a role player.
