GAME 3: UTAH JAZZ


The crowd was full of anticipation for the big matchup. There are several great matchups between siblings in sports. Tiki and Ronde Barber, Peyton and Eli Manning, and Jason and Jarron Collins. The twins were once teammates at Stanford University, and twice a season they go head to head. Jarron has been a member of the Jazz since he was drafted and plays off the bench. Despite having equal talent, Jason starts for the Nets every game. The Nets won the game, but who won the war. The final lines:

Jarron: 7 minutes 0 shots 1 rebound

Jason: 25 minutes 5 rebounds 3 assists 1 steal 3 fouls 0 points

As the box score is considered, there is only evidence that Jarron touched the ball once. Jason decided to go nuts with 3 assists and a steal, but he still couldn't find his shooters touch. Hopefully, Nets executives will realize that you can get the same production out of a Collins playing him 7 minutes off the bench, as you can starting him every game. Next up for Jason is a rematch with his rival Shaq on Friday.
