Given the Golden State Warriors’ NBA Finals loss to the Toronto Raptors, as well as news that the Dubs will be likely be without the services of Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson next season, it seemed — if only for a moment — that the Utah Jazz could really make a play for the West’s top honors in 2019-20.
Here at The J-Notes, my partner-in-crime Jared Woodcox wrote about just that scenario a couple of days ago and, man…it was hard not to get juiced reading it. You never root for injuries, of course, and my heart goes to Durant, Thompson and fans in the Bay Area, but still — one couldn’t deny that opportunity was knocking.
