JAZZ

Monday night we had the opportunity to attend a Utah Jazz basketball game. Kyle's cousin Owen called his mom and told her that he had access to about 10 tickets to the game against New Orleans. We ended up getting to go.


This is a good picture to see Kyle's little sister Lydia (left) and her friend Vanessa (right). You also get to see pretty well how close to the floor our seats were.


Christy waited until the perfect second to get this picture for her sister Taylor. Taylor (along with Christy herself) is a huge Duke (college) basketball player, and when Carlos Boozer went to college he was at duke.


During the draft last year the Jazz were hoping to get JJ Redick from Duke. He ended up going to Miami two teams before the Jazz had their first pick. Considering JJ's productivity compared to Ronnie Brewer (the player that the Jazz picked up instead), it seems that the Jazz got the better player. We took this picture mainly because Kyle's sister Natalie has a crush on Brewer.


It was a really fun game to go to. The Jazz got up early and didn't end up behind at all while we were there. It was really fun to be that close to the floor.


One of our favorite parts was watching the team during timeouts. We had a great view of what was going on down there.

Kyle's favorite player on the Jazz, as you might guess, is Kyle Korver. He is a recent addition to the team, and is one that was well worth what it took to get him. Since the trade with Philedelphia in January (for Gordon Giracek) the Jazz have been 15-2.


We sure had a lot of fun that night.

Thanks Owen!

It looks like so much fun!! I wish we could have made it. Justin was finishing up a big team project that night, or we would have been there in a heart beat.
