The Jazz started out great in the lockout shortened 1999 season but they seemed to run outta gas down the stretch. They went 5-5 the last 10 which allowed San Antonio to jump them for the division and #1 seed.

Because they weren't good shooters even though defense was lacking, and it's my era between.

I felt this was the Jazz's best chance to win a championship. Malone and Stockton's window was very small at that point in time. Once they squeaked by the Kings and lost to the Blazers, their championship window was shut. The Lakers and Spurs were better and it would be both those teams battling out to win the West.

What a classic. Man MDBBall never fails!

This whole series (except this last game) was a great example that shows that the league front office no longer wanted the Jazz to advance. . they were tired of the Jazz (which actually started in 98 but the Jazz were just too good ..even cheats didnt work except in the Finals). ~ One way you can tell who the league has designed to win a game or series back then is to listen to the commentators. They were heavily heavily trying to hype up the Kings the entire series. I knew in this series though that the Jazz were too over the top better than the Kings then and even cheats wouldnt work in this series.

This last game of this series however apparently the league changed its mind and said to go ahead and let the Jazz through this time. Jazz didnt have a great game but atleast the bad calls were more evenly distributed .. even maybe a bit more for Utah which hadnt happened all series for sure. Uncommonly has it happened that the league changes thier decision in the middle of a series but it did here. Either you know and see these things or you dont. Im not trying to convince anyone. Those who know . . know. The next Jazz series however the freemason league was surely on a mission to eliminate Jazz , clearly.
