OAKLAND, Calif. — Some Golden State Warriors caused a stir before the start of the Western Conference semifinals by claiming they would’ve rather played the Clippers instead of the Jazz.
This wasn't about basketball, by the way.
It was about the nightlife in Los Angeles compared to Utah.
"There's no nightlife in Utah,” Warriors forward Matt Barnes told ESPN. “Obviously, as players, you want to be able to have a little bit of a nightlife.”
Forward Andre Iguodala took it one step further. He’s of the opinion that the ZZs in the Utah Jazz name stand for the snoozing sounds made while in the Beehive State.
