BOOZER V. MILSAP
The number one conversation amongst Jazz fans right now is if Paul Milsap’s 11 straight double doubles while playing for Carlos Boozer proves he is capable of stepping in if Boozer leaves in the off-season. It may prove he is capable, but it certainly hasn’t proven the Jazz would be as good.
With this [...]

 
In the world of professional sports it seems odd that teams need to try to hype-up fans with such obsurd tactics as mascots.  Sometimes I feel like I am back in high shcool watching the Friday night game with the buddies and wondering what we are going to do afterwards.  Now don’t get me wrong, the [...]

I’ve decided that what the Jazz community needs (besides a healthy roster and some more wins) is a better definition of the term “fair-weather fan.” Everyone has been throwing around the expression rather carelessly here at the Bot, so it’s time we all get on the same page. Now I know I’m not the most [...]

When Jazz fans were introduced to this year’s first round draft pick many of them were quick to exclaim, “Wow, he speaks really good English.” I’m speaking of course about Kosta Koufos, the 7′1 center the Jazz drafted out of Ohio State with the 23rd overall pick. Although he is of Greek heritage, most Jazz [...]

This is the second in a 15 part series which will examine the statistical performance of each player on the Utah Jazz.
Morris Almond is actually a very interesting player, statistically. He is known as a shooter and scorer, and yet everyone knows that the rest of his game will have to develop in order [...]

There has been a lot of talk about Boozer opting out of his contract for his Miami home or some other team. Much discussion has been made about the Jazz having to let Carlos go, because his new, higher salary would put the Jazz in the luxury tax bracket, where they have vowed not to [...]

Everyone has been focusing their attention on Jerry Sloan’s record-breaking season and his 20th anniversary as Utah’s head coach.  Yes, he deserved to win the coach of the year award at least a dozen times and never has.  Yes, he is the longest tenured head coach in any sport.  Yes, he is certainly the boss [...]

Was anybody else as hyped as I was for Deron’s Nike commercial Thursday night? I read about it in the paper and was stoked all day in anticipation. Nike just doesn’t come knocking too often in small markets. It’s something that has always chapped my hide, but what can you do about it? I was [...]

Kids are very impressionable.  Some things they see or learn about stays with them in a very vivid way.  When I asked them to describe some impressive Jazz moments, they had strong memories.  These students are only 11 years old, so some of the “most memorable” in Jazz history are not in their personal memories.  [...]

I got the following email today…
Hello,

I live two hours north of Seattle and watched every Jazz game last year on Directv’s NBA League Pass. This year all games have been “blacked out in my local area.” I am not local to Utah. I contacted the Jazz and they said they are receiving a [...]
