Jazz Players Show Up For Game 6; Told To Go Home

Memhet Okur and Andrei Kirilenko showed up at the Utah Jazz Training Facility Friday afternoon, prepared to practice for Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs when they were told to go home by a Jazz employee.

"I just told them, 'season's over, man. Vacation time. You lost in 5'...losers," said Ronny Johns, a janitor for the organization. "Maybe they should have showed up for the games when they were actually played, especially that Memhet dude. I don't know if they speak English, because they didn't seem to understand me."

Okur, who averaged just 7.2 points and 4.6 rebounds per game against the Spurs, defended himself saying that he was just starting to get hot, feeling a groove in his 3 point game that the Spurs wouldn't be able to stop. He insists that the NBA, the Spurs, and the Jazz have made a terrible mistake, that they won games 3 and 4, and that they are only down 3-2 to the Spurs.

"If you add up the points from games 3 and 4, we outscored the Spurs 188-174, so we should win both games automatically. This is part of the NBA's favoritism of the Spurs. They obviously want them in the finals. The Spurs know that I'm hot behind the arc now, and they fear me, otherwise, they would play us a few more times."

"I feel little embarrassed, I have hard time keeping track of how many games we play," laughed Kirilenko. "We just get so...spanked...by the Spurs, it seem like one big long game. I think I sleep through first two games, haha...no, seriously, I was very tire those games."

Because Okur and Kirilenko were already dressed, they decided to stay and play a quick and friendly game of 21. Neither player won because neither one could make enough shots to reach 21, so they called it a draw at 5-5 after playing for 3 hours.

"I'm glad we not play tonight, I'm tired," said an out of breath Kirilenko. "I go home now and neck to my hot wife."

Although Okur agreed to stop from fatigue, he made fun of and taunted Andrei after he entered the locker room out of earshot, saying things like, "Come on, baby, what are you, chicken? Bok, bok, look at the little chicken, he's afraid to get scored on. He feels my heat. See, they fear me, even my own teammates."

Jerry Sloan, Deron Williams, and Carlos Boozer could not be reached for comment.
