The city of Calabasas (where Bryon lives) interviewed Russell where he re-issued hi challenge to MJ. What's the minimum that Jordan plays for? Think he has to have some money on the line? Do you think he would donate it to charity or would he keep it?
These aren't any earth-shattering revelations, and really this could apply to any team, but here's a list of some of the things we need to happen this season for the Jazz to really contend,
- Stay healthy. Every team has their share of injuries, but last year's team had limbs falling off left and right.
- We need an explosion - Someone outside of Deron has to just blow up and really break out. Whether Boozer is here or not, this has to happen. Either Millsap has to push it to All-star levels, CJ getting crazy, AK returning to 2004 form, something. We'll still have a solid season, but to be contenders, we have to have this.
- Win on the road - We don't know why they can't win on the road. My guess is that it's just a mentality. Whatever the routine is on the road, it needs to change. Follow the advice of George Costanza and just do the opposite. If everything you've done on the road is wrong, then do the opposite. Change the food you eat. Change the music you listen to. Something.
If we had those things last year, that's good for another 5-8 wins and I don't think that's an exaggeration. If we pulled out a couple more at home and even if we finished just 20-21 on the road, that's 2nd place in the west.
We're not that far off. We do need something to push us over the top though.
One week until media day for the Jazz.
In case you missed it on twitter, here's an interview with CJ Miles on No Look Pass. Chronicles of Crotty is one of the coolest names I've ever heard.
So I'm going to retire the Boozer face(s) for the While You Were Sleeping segment. I was expecting him to sign on with some other blog, but he turns around at the last minute and opts back in. So I just bought him out.
Who should replace him? Fess? Koof? D-Will? Should we put it up for a vote?

What do you guys think of jersey sponsors?
Suns got one (http://valleyofthesuns.com/2009/09/16/sponsors-buyouts-injuries-and-more/).
Almond is with the Magics for now.
1. If I was Jordan, I would not play against Russell. There is no benefit for Jordan even if he wins or loses.
2, 8. I heard AK gained some muscles (sorry forgot the source… possibly SLCDunk coz I stopped reading DesNews and SLCTrib). Can’t wait to see if it is real tomorrow.
5. I think, Brewer and Korver are going to bring their A game this season. 2 words. Contract year.
I have this weird feeling, that we might see Milsap in suit this year more often than before. It has been a trend. 1st year of big contract in Utah… Boozer, AK, Deron… I hope I am wrong.
