The Utah Jazz visited the San Antonio Spurs for a game of NBA basketball. What for some casual fans of major market franchises is probably a classic case of “couldn’t care less”, to me is pretty much the opposite. I couldn’t care more. Because I fancy small market franchises. In particular, I fancy small markets franchises that defy the competitive mechanisms of the NBA. Because franchises go through winning and losing cycles, today’s contenders are bound for the lottery tomorrow – and vice versa. And big market franchises are no exception. Both the Lakers and the Celtics sucked for seasons on end before finding winning ways again.
