The Jazz play their first game of the new year tonight when they host Philadelphia at the ESA. Consequently, it will be their first game of the season with the leather ball. This subject has been way overdone, but it is worth noting.
If you have not had the opportunity to play around with the micro-fiber ball, I suggest you take a trip to your local sporting goods store and check it out. In my opinion it is awful. It is worse than I ever could have imagined. I was critical and skeptical of the what some players were saying, but once I dribbled it and shot around a bit, I was ready to file a lawsuit myself.
