The Utah Jazz, fresh off a dramatic win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, arrive in the California capital to take care of business to close out the week.
The Jazz carry with them the energy of their conquest, helping Jae Crowder avenge his father's European exile against Scotty Layden's genetic inbred monster. Scotty's perceived decade of experience in the ring was no match for the sheer strength of a Crowder with a motivation:
(Above, Ricky Rubio looks on as his new teammate protects him from any threat.)
But tonight the Jazz seek to topple a banana republic: The Sacramento Kings.
Headed by the Marlboro Man himself, Vlade Divac:
Vlade, the King of the Castle, has put himself on notice:
The Jazz, defeating the Kings in the playoffs in 1999. Who could forget these guys?
*Turkoglu not included in 1999 squad.
But Jason Williams invented the long three before it was cool:
Vlade, not to be outdone, assisted the Kings to repeat playoff defeats of the Jazz in 2002 and 2003, especially with this deep three in the clutch:
(I was at this game, unfortunately).
And John Stockton took a seat for the final time:
But who could forget Doug Christie and his crazy wife?
Of course, the Kings have since fallen into the abyss.
They picked up ZBo before he was destined to become a get-away driver:
And Donovan was 2 when Vince made this dunk:
Willy Cauley-Stein is listed as doubtful because of his back.
I don't know much about WCS, but I do know that the concordance rate between anterior neck tattoos and antisocial personality disorder is damn near 100%.
Rudy Gobert going for another monster game:
Donovan likely to hit 45+ tonight:
Of course, that would be fitting.
