Who will it be during this favorable part of the coming schedule? Team Jeckyl or Team Hyde? Just looking ahead I think the Jazz will be favored in every game until they go to New Orleans on April 8th. In looking at the Nets game last Saturday except for Boozer, the Jazz […]

Beep! Beep! Beep!
The Jazz play of late deserves an extra Beep! It seems that all of the team now gets “it”. “It” being what it takes to win in the NBA on a consistent basis. Besides having good talent, good coaching, it took some other things too.
Get a few […]

Which outfit is going to show tonight?  The team that could get the Jazz a very high pick in the spring or the team that has the capabilities to at least go to the Western finals again.  The second half vs. Portland was awful.  Two of the Blazers young guys have really done a number […]

Beep!Beep!
When does Demi get in to town? Her “husband” really played well in the Boston game! Oh, I guess it wasn’t Austin Kutcher but anyway, the imposter from Philly played alright in his first game. He is going to help a great deal and will take serious minutes from some […]

The Kings are really good? Jerry Sloan wearing a mic? A camera in the locker room? The Jazz haven’t beaten the Spurs in SA,19 times? There is trouble in “River City”? [ I really mean Dallas] “River City is from the Music Man”. Anyhow, whatever city, there is trouble. Lets figure it out.
The Kings are […]

By the end of the month we are going to have a valid reading on how good the Jazz are EXCEPT they won’t have played any of the big boys other than the Pistons and possibly the Hornets (really not one of the big boys) The rest of the others are teams who really aren’t […]

‘O.K., they’re going to take a time out here’ (M. Majchrzak - NBAE/Getty Images)
No, this wasn’t a replay of a certain all time great guard from a school south of here (per Urban Meyer) who made a baseline to baseline dash with seconds left on the clock to win a huge game for his team. […]

Were the Jazz awful last night? Answer, Yes they were. Did they run their 1/2 court offense? Answer, Really only early before Boozer got his 2 fouls in the first 1/4, otherwise it was one pass and a shot. Late in the game, […]

‘Tremor Time’ (Jed Jacobsohn - NBAE/Getty Images)
The earthquake occurring in the San Jose area Tuesday night was not the Jazz doing a number on the Warriors but it could have been.  The Jazz just manhandled the very passive locals in every part of the game.  Rebounding, Defense [1/2 court and fast break], aggressiveness. Execution of […]

 
‘Sloan vs. Nelson’ (M. Majchrzak - NBAE/Getty Images)

It’s finally here, the start of a new season. There are not two teams in the league with more different styles of play than the Warriors and Jazz For that matter, no two coaches are more different than Jerry Sloan and Don Nelson. The Jazz do like to […]
