Quick Thoughts

Finals Thoughts:

So I was very wrong about the NBA finals. The Lakers don't look like they belong on the same court and losing a 24 point lead is pretty deflating. They are toast and I'm pretty happy about that.

Also maybe its just me but I expected more from the Finals. After being bombarded with flashbacks of great Boston-LA finals of the past I'm waiting for these teams to raise their game to another level for the finals. It seems more like just a regular season game rather than a NBA Finals game.

Jazz Thoughts:

The Jazz are probably about halfway through workouts leading up to the NBA draft. I still think Roy Hibbert is the best possible solution if available at #23. They have also worked out Jason Thompson who wouldn't be a bad option, but would be more of a developmental prospect and Trent Plaisted who would be a bench warmer for the Flash and should never ever play for the Jazz.

Utah State Basketball Thoughts:

"Rat Ball" is starting up for the summer. You can read some excellent recaps of what went down and how we are looking for next year on the Utah State Message Boards.

Assistant Coach James Ware took a promotion to be the top Assistant at Santa Clara. Ware did a fantastic job for the Aggies the last two years especially in the area of recruiting. Hopefully they are able to replace him with a good coach and good recruiter. And the Refraction wishes him all the best in Santa Clara.
