Gather round, Jazz fans and I’ll tell you a tale.
It was just over a week ago when I, Bryan Hickman, courageously took a step that few of you were ready to take.  If you remember, I put the entire team on a one-game suspension.  The Jazz had lost four straight games and had all of [...]

Every so often — when they deserve it — I put the Jazz on suspension. It usually lasts only one game, but there’s really no set list of rules on the matter. Basically, when the team doesn’t perform up to its potential, I refuse to watch one or more games. That’s right…I don’t tune [...]

- I feel sorry for my League-Pass mooching friends that went home last night with about four minutes left because they “have real jobs that make them get up early in the morning,” whatever that means.  I mocked them via text message for literally minutes after the game.
- I feel just a little sorry for [...]

‘No Love for the Spurs!’
I’d like to pause for a moment to express inwardly my undying hatred for the San Antonio Spurs…pause over.  Now I’d likely express it outwardly.
If life was an Orwell novel, and quite frankly, given the state of the world, that may very well be an open question, we’d all have to [...]

‘The Elusive Agent Zero’
I’ve lived in the DC area for just over four years now.  This past week was the fifth time the Jazz have visited the Wizards during my tenure in our nation’s capitol, and the fifth time I attended the game.
The Jazz’s record in these games: 2-3.
The first game (2004-05), Gilbert Arenas drew [...]

‘Deron’s new uniform?’
While people all over the country have been clamoring for “hope” and “change” in recent weeks, it appears that one man is prepared to deliver.  In case you were wondering, it’s not Barack Obama.  No, I don’t think even his Barackness could deliver on a miracle like the one Deron Williams seemed poised [...]

‘The Ever Essential League Pass’
That’s right, people, only two weeks left before the start of the season.  Less than that, actually, but, even though the two-week mark was technically yesterday, I’m still calling it two weeks today.  Deal with it.  No one likes a nit-picker.
Anyway, as the Jazz are using these last few weeks to [...]

‘Boozer vs. Pierce – in 2k9 Time’
While the Jazz’s quest for a championship begins in earnest at the end of this month, my quest for a championship began this past Tuesday when, much to the chagrin of my wife and anyone who wants to talk to me during the evening, NBA 2K9 was released for [...]

‘Hollinger: A Fruitful Forecast’
This story is about a week old, but, as far as I can tell, it hasn’t been covered here.  So, I figured I’d make it my inaugural post on Jazzbots.
Over at ESPN.com, John Hollinger has released his 2008-09 forecasts for every NBA team.  If you skip to the end of his Jazz [...]
