Hopefully Boston wins the series!

Also, remember when I pushed for Wiggins?!

It's hard for me because I really don't like Celtics' fans, but then I really don't like Kerr or the fact that Warriors' owners are basically just able to spend whatever they want to win....... Hard to chose who I'd want to win.......

Both teams are examples for how the Jazz should build(through the draft + opportunistic trades/FA). There are definitely some irritants on both teams but don't let that distract you from just how likeable both those teams should be for fanbases like ours that has very little hope for ever attracting premier FAs and our only hope is exactly the path both those teams took towards contention. Now, the Warriors had their own big FA addition but that only happened after they had already built a team worthy of a dynastic success. And Boston did get big FA Gordon Haywood, but again - they didn't succeed because of him. They succeeded when their home-grown youth matured enough to compete at the highest level.

I'm personally catching myself rooting for Boston more than I'd like to admit, but oh well... more power to them...

One thing that is absolutely clear from this Finals is how important big (6"7" plus) guards/fowards who have offensive skill and willingness and ability to play defense are. We don't have that (Bogey has size and offense, but not defensive ability and Royce is short and lacks offense), and have had the need for years now. Instead, the old front office kept trading away picks, and using our picks on small guards and outdated centers. smh.

I think it tells more about importance of a team spirit and a coach able to manage game more like chess player than like microchip with 2-3 complicated but rigid algorithms.
