Back in the late 90’s, I remember seeing an interview with Alanis Morrisette on MTV. This was back when she was the biggest star in the music world and back when MTV actually played, and talked about, music. I remember this interview because of one single thing that she said. The interviewer asked her about [...]

I’ve been as disappointed and disillusioned and disheartened as any Jazz fan, regarding our less than terrific start to this season. However, I’m going to do something now that Jerry Sloan would not approve of:  make excuses.
We are not healthy! CJ Miles and Kyle Korver both had to undergo surgery and will not be back [...]

First the good news from last night:

The Yankees lost.
Memo was only out a few minutes after getting plowed through by Nene in the first 24 seconds of the game. This was impressive since he apparently injured both major leg joints on the same play. I’m so jaded by injuries that I didn’t even bat an [...]

Because I tend to think to think about basketball for at least 20% of my waking hours, I am prone to having completely random, basketball-related thoughts pop into my head at any particular moment. A few weeks ago a new random thought popped into my head while I was eating dinner: why are the positions [...]

Because the Utah Jazz vs. Real Madrid game was on in the middle of the day, I had to wait till I got home to watch it. (Thank you DVR!) I did read all of the Twitter posts about this game before I watched it though, so I knew what to expect and what to [...]

I decided to write an NBA Predictions post for two reasons:  1) It’s fun! 2) I want recorded evidence if I happen to have predicted this season correctly. And if I get all these guesses wrong, hopefully I can hack the Jazzbots server and erase this post forever.
I have ranked each team in each conference [...]

“The player everyone loves to hate.” There are plenty of them. Sports announcers and writers from every city love to talk about the guys from other teams that their city loves to hate. At various times, Jazz fans have, or are said to have, loved to hate a variety of players. Usually it’s a pretty [...]

The 2009-10 season will be a transition season for the Jazz. I believe we will be very competitive and, if healthy, will make a run at one of the top 3 spots in the West. Just think about it- last year we had every injury that could befall a team, and we STILL won 48 [...]

From Wiktionary.org:
Superstition: A belief, not based on human reason or scientific knowledge, that future events may be influenced by one’s behavior in some magical or mystical way.
Sports fans and athletes are a very superstitious bunch. You often hear of a person who has a lucky Jazz t-shirt, or lucky Jazz socks, or rabbit foot, or [...]

There are many questions to be answered by the Jazz on the basketball court this year: Who will start at power forward? Who will win the backup point guard job? Will Deron make the All-Star Team and win the assists title?
Today though, I am wondering about  some off-the-court (but IN the arena) questions.
Will the Jazz [...]
