San Francisco writer thinks Jazz are tedious
Columnist said he wanted Rockets to face the Warriors

HOUSTON ─ Under a Saturday column headlined "For a good time, root for
Rockets over dreary Jazz," San Francisco columnist Bruce Jenkins practically
begged for Houston to beat Utah and become Golden State's second-round NBA
playoff opponent.
Sorry, Bruce.
The Jazz beat the Rockets 103-99 in Game 7 of their first-round series
Saturday, and will open their next best-of-seven series against the Warriors
on Monday night.
Jenkins' reasoning for wanting the Rockets?
"I can tell you my choice, based strictly on entertainment value: Houston
all the way," he wrote.
"The Jazz are as dull as Salt Lake City, and baby,
that's dull.
"Efficient? Absolutely. You can always count on coach Jerry Sloan for a
textbook offense, full of screens and cutters, and he has a number of weapons
in Carlos Boozer, Matt Harpring, impressive point guard Deron Williams and
the mysterious Andrei Kirilenko, who has alternated this season between being
a wondrous all-court demon and a lost, self-pitying afterthought.
"Still," Jenkins continued, "you wouldn't say the nation pines for a closer
look at Derek Fisher or Mehmet Okur. We've all seen Sloan's teams in the past
─ better known as John Stockton and Karl Malone ─ and in terms of fan
appeal,
this current group hardly measures up against Don Nelson, Baron Davis
and the Warriors' charming eccentricity."
Not every outside-of-Utah media member, by the way, has the Jazz painted as
a boring team.
"When (the Jazz) used to play they had Stockton and Malone and they would
play half court and run. ... The new Utah Jazz do it differently, but with
the same type of effort," said TNT commentator and former NBA player Kenny
Smith, who spent six seasons with the Rockets. "The ball moves and the bodies
move with hustle plays.
"A lot of people think the Jazz like to slow the game down," Smith added,
"but they have the athletes to get the game up-tempo."
