I’ve got a new nickname for Carlos Boozer, and he’s not going to like it. In contrast to the rain, sleet or snow blue collar work ethic of Karl Malone, the Jazz’s famous Mailman, I’ve starting calling Boozer “The Businessman” for his (I cringe to say it) selfishness.  It kinda fits, doesn’t it?
I have a [...]

I thought I had a pretty charmed day lined up Saturday. Here’s what I was looking forward to, in order of excitement.
1) Watch the Jazz destroy the Lakers to even the series
2) Watch my second favorite sports team, the Oakland Raiders, pick #7 overall in the NFL draft.
3) Miraculously find a 40-pound block of cheese [...]

Similar (but not really) to Andrei Kirilenko, once a year I am allowed to look into the future. This year, as a service to loyal Jazzbots readers and fans, I peered into the future at the Jazz’s first round playoff series vs the Lakers. What follows is my game-by-game report. Remember, all of this is [...]

I woke up on the grateful side of the bed this morning and I can’t help myself from thinking what a wonderful time it is to be a basketball fan. I thought I’d list some of the reasons why. Maybe it’ll brighten up your day.
-I’m grateful for the NCAA tournament. Not only is it the [...]

I really don’t want to write this. I’ve been putting it off a long time. I’m like the young father who sends the kids to the grandparents, entices the aging family dog into the station wagon with one last biscuit, and starts up the car for the final drive to the vet.  You have to [...]

Last week Jazzbots administrator Derrick Daye claimed in the comments to an earlier post of mine (the one about human stork Pau Gasol) that the Jazz players and management actually read Jazzbots content. Naturally, this started a major hullaballoo amongst readers. People started leaving comments for Jazz players that ranged from the sweet all the [...]

Unless you’ve been living in a Kennecott sized hole the last few years you’ve undoubtedly heard about the Phoenix Sun’s ‘Seven Seconds Or Less’ offense. The SSOL offense is more than just a really funny euphemism for wives to use in making fun of their husbands; it’s a revolutionary approach to NBA basketball.  The SSOL [...]

Boler,
You don’t know me, but I’m here to help. I love your work. I think you are the best announcer working the NBA, and you’re versatile enough to do an outstanding job with your college and NFL football games. I just think you are great. But I also think you have an opportunity at your [...]

I’m angry.  I’m steamed.  I’m pissed off. I’m having conniption fits.  I’m Mad as a hatter.  Why? you ask.  Well, The human stork otherwise known as Pau Gasol just won the NBA player of the month award for February after not even showing up on the nominations page. Yup, he just came right out [...]

With February drawing to a close, and the Jazz playing better than anyone in the league,  its time to make the case for Deron Williams as Western Conference player of the month. He has been nominated, along with “He who shall not be named”, otherwise known as “Black Mamba” (self proclaimed), otherwise known as the [...]
