Anyone getting withdrawals?

Man, am I the only getting withdrawals from watching the Jazz? Even when we sucked ass for a while, I still enjoyed watching most of the games. Really looking forward to the draft lottery, draft, and then the season.
It won't start soon enough, lol. Looking forward to a fairly stacked roster, and a much better bench next year with Okur back most likely, an improved Favors, hopefully a resigned AK, I hope Raja improves a little bit, and draft picks.

Not to mention a much improved Gordon Hayward, two lottery picks, a possible Ante Tomic??? And a young and up and coming core of Milsap, Harris, and Jefferson. I think I am more excited for the upcoming year to start then I was for this last season.

From Scott Howard-Cooper at nba.com:
May 17: Lottery. The order of the first 14 picks of the Draft is determined. The playoff teams are automatically put in order according to record.
May 18-22: Chicago pre-Draft camp. The best prospects are given a pass from playing, to the great frustration of NBA teams, who long ago tired of players being afraid to hurt their stock and agents driving the overcautious agenda. But a few potential first-round picks will make the outrageous decision of actually playing basketball in front of talent evaluators. The mass gathering of front offices, coaching staffs and some medical staffs is valuable for the physicals and skills testing -- and because teams get the chance to learn about prospects' personalities in an informal setting.
Many individual workouts will follow. Some prospects will say that they will go through the drills only for the teams picking in the top three -- and then open things up if their stock is dropping. Others will go anywhere and everywhere to show their skills in what, essentially, end up as three-on-three games. A couple teams may host much larger sessions, designed to reduce travel for the players and costs for the teams. Some prospects still could be invited to a city for a second, more-intimate showcase that also includes the chance to interact with club officials.
June 23: The NBA Draft, held this time in Newark, N.J.

I've been watching playoff games, but it really just makes me depressed that Utah isn't part of it. It's hard to root for any of these teams seriously.

If you think it is bad now, wait till december when the NBA is still locked out and considering cancelling the season.

I enjoy the time off actually. It gets time consuming watching a game for 2.5 hours per night 3-4 times per week. I the void by playing a lot of ball and other stuff.

No withdrawals here for me. But I'm sure I will be anxious when there arn't any other games to watch either.
Not with the best club soccer team in the all time USA history playin it up. I'm having a ball watching, learning, and playing a different sport. Go RSL!

I'm dying just waiting for the lottery let alone the draft, pre-season and the start of the regular season.
If there is a lockout I'm going to explode.....
