country so I didn't witness it, 2. It was only one conference finals (The other year it was a semis), 3. the run of three years in a row with playoff series wins over the Jazz, with Lakers winning it all twice in those three years, more than made up for it.

Like Reggae, I like this current Jazz team. I don't actively root for them, but they are a fun team to watch and Mitchell is a class-act. They put a good product on the court that basketball fans can enjoy.

Plus, the older I get, the more I've tried to enjoy the "ups" with my teams while not allowing the "downs" to affect me so much. I'm not perfect at it (especially when it comes to the BYU-Utah rivalry), but I've let a lot of things go over the years - including playoff losses from 20+ years ago.
