I've had the day off and have been thinking about the game all day. It feels nice having this beautiful spring day all to my self.

Spring usually reminds me of the NBA playoffs. Despite it being go time I don't know about watching another jazz game this season, think I am done. After sowing some seeds a perfect 1 inch deep in the soil and having a relaxing time in the garden, it got me thinking... Jazz playoff games are just to stressful. The drinking, worrying, yelling obscenities at the TV for 2.5 hours every 2-3 days, it's getting to be to much.

When 7:30 hits and the Jazz and Mavs are tipping off, I may just curl up on the couch and turn on Netflix. When my girlfriend asks, "Aren't you going to watch the baseball game?"

Without even correcting, or thinking about Jazz playoff basketball, I will just ask if she would like to watch the latest Adam Sandler romantic comedy with me. So have fun jazzfanz, stressing out with the game tonight. We might lose anyway. So why watch.

I can dig it. I am more of a nihilist so I take a different tack. I also considered doing something similar, like rigging up a sling in the kitchen/dining room where we have lots of space and putting the cat in it and spinning her around and around until she is making the fire-siren mewling noises of a cat gone insane, and then dumping her out on the floor to watch her run sideways bouncing into the walls full-speed on her elbows and knees, screeching like a balloon with the opening pulled taught, until she collapses exhausted behind the table, her eyes flitting side to side as if she is watching the world's fastest and most ****ed-up tennis match. That is good entertainment there.

So why watch? How can you not watch ?
 
I wanna see Forrest guarding Brunson. Just so we know what we truly have, to end the controversy that went on all season.
 
I promised my family I would take them to the new The Bad Guys movie tonight so I'll miss the game.

As far as the game goes, Jazz simply need to hit their shots and outshoot the Mavs from deep. They've yet to have a good offensive game from outside - maybe we're due, maybe we're not, but they've got to be better.
 
I'm definitely going to watch, but I totally understand where you're coming from. I get so nervous and anxious while watching these playoff games that it's honestly not that enjoyable of an experience. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so invested in the Jazz, and I could just enjoy the games without so much stress.

I have no idea how the casuals do it. People who like watching them win but survive just fine when we suck ***.
 
The Stockton and Malone era hooked me on playoff basketball for life. Despite inconsistent officiating and the relative lack of postseason success for the Jazz over the years, I can't seem to quit watching.

So, each year I just try to enjoy the ride. If/when the Jazz are eliminated, I'll pick some other teams to root for or against. So far this year it's been fun watching the Timberwolves and Pelicans make some noise as underdogs. I've also taken great pleasure in Brooklyn's struggles.
