The Downbeat - 27 October 2009 - #87 - The Downbeat of the Season Edition

1_medium  An official SLC Dunk welcome to Wes Matthews.  Even though he'll wear #23, he will hopefully become more than a fan favorite and stick with the team for a while.

Apparently his agent or father slipped him a note that Sloan likes hard workers and that PT, or in this case a roster spot, is earned in practice.

His contract isn't guaranteed though unless he's with the Jazz come January 10, so he could be cut.  I could see Sloan saying this to him each day after practice,

"Good night, Wes. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely [cut] you in the morning."

2_medium  clarkpojo messaged me a week ago and said that this would be the longest week ever.  Well, it's finally here.  Jazz fans will have to wait another day, so it's not quite over.

I have to say I'm probably most excited about being able to watch the Jazz for the first time this season.

8_medium  Besides trying to cover the Flash some morer, okay at all, I'm going to try to become a more well-rounded NBA viewer this season.  I watched other teams and follow a few team blogs, but mainly it was all Jazz.  And it still will be, but I think having more NBA knowledge can only help writing about the Jazz.

4_medium  I got no love from my Jazz Halloween question.  So let's try this one.  What should each of the Jazz players dress up as on Oct 31?

5_medium To kick off the season, here's a bit from Malone's first game as a rookie via A Stern Warning,

Wow

That was an awesome clip. Did you hear the commentator when he said, “You don’t see a charging call in the NBA very often.”

HAhaha how times have changed.

I like how the announcer called out Dantleys travel

right before that happened. Announcers never criticize the officials nowadays.

Can't Get As Excited When I Won't See the Jazz on TV Anymore

I love the Jazz, but it’s impossible to get too excited when I know that I won’t see them on public TV at all this year. Too bad that money has become more important than providing a product to the fans—not just the fans who can make it to games.

Halloween Costumes

After watching that clip I can’t help but think throwback unis with Stocktonesque short shorts would make a killer costume. I’m sure the ladies would appreciate seeing KK in a throwback Bobby Hansen uni.

Halloween

So my wife had a good idea. Have the wives and/or girlfriends of dress five of the guys up as a construction worker, indian, motorcycle gang guy, police officer and sailor. Don’t tell them why, just that they would be “cute/hot/whatever” if they did. When they show up at D-Will’s Halloween party they just got punk’d as the Village People.

I like it.

And then Kyle Korver could wear a sideways trucker hat and run into the party with a fake film crew and tell them that they got punk’d.

The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
