This is the Jazz's biggest problem right now, and they know it. Maybe all those empty seats finally caught someone's attention. Anyway I think they are trying to inform the fans, if the fans will listen. This week the Jazz PR team, aka 1280 the Zone, started to talk about Favors not playing. If you were listening they also talked about how much it means to a team financially to make the playoffs. The playoff money may mean the difference between losing money or breaking even.
I recall hearing LHM or Greg or maybe KOC relate that the Jazz were okay missing the playoffs once in a while but 2 times in 3 years was a real burden. In this soft economy I imagine more so.
So the jazz are trying to make the playoffs, to secure the team and we all bitch and moan. I want to know what the future plans of KOC are as much as anyone. I'm tired of both Milsap and Al too. That is why I am cheering for a ten game winning streak, and injuries for the Lakers, Blazers, and Mavericks. I'm hoping that if the Jazz Brass believe they have secured a playoff spot by Feb 21 then a trade is more likely.
