Pre-season basketball and NFL games are meaningless, except for their ability to suck in tons of fans (and therefore money) to watch their teams play. The perfect example of this is the recent run of form that the new Utah Jazz have been showing. They had a perfect pre-season, winning all of their games, even against top opposition like the LA Lakers and Phoenix Suns. But that means diddly! The Jazz got absolutely clobbered by the Denver Nuggets in the opening game of the regular season by 22 points. Some much for the big run, it's all show. Pre-season is basically practice, and club owners should come clean and sell these tickets for $5.00 a pop. Anything is robbery. Some sports, like Rugby League and Australian Rules football have a trophy for their pre-season competition which at least makes it semi-honest. The rest is rubbish. And there was all that feel good stuff about a new look Jazz team.
