“History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life, and brings us tidings of antiquity.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero
Many an analyst, pundit and fan alike, have been heard-
Whispering in the stands or seen shouting on the televisions of millions-
That these 2008 NBA Playoffs […]

Greetings from Houston.
Not sure if this was a sign, but as I walked to the Toyota Center today there is an energy company with a digital board reading. It gives the temperature, the time, and then a message and today’s was, “Three Down One to go.” This was next to the Toyota Center […]

‘Props to Sir Charles’ (Associated Press)
Call it love or call it respect as long as you’ve called for it, craved it, or wondered were it was. Come on national media where is our positive recognition? Where is that pat on the back? That’s all we really want. A higher “Power Ranking.” Another game on TNT. […]

I don’t really have much of anything new to write today.  I’m just enjoying basking in the praise being afforded the Jazz by the national media as of late.  All of us Jazz fans have known for a long time of just how good this team is, despite the month of DECEMBER.  It finally feels […]

Can I hear an Amen, brother?
The Jazz continues to roll.
Memo, like Moses of old, is leading the Jazz to the Promised Land. With DWill and Booze having less than stellar games, there was Money to be counted. Memo had his squeegee and Windex out, keeping the glass sparkling clean. Memo led all scorers and rebounders, […]

Remember how The Mailman would power to the hoop, in the first half of his career anyway, and knock over players for a right-handed ‘hamma’ dunk? Recall how Stock could hand check, grab, hold and get away with it.
It’s a different set of rules now.
Booz already gets a […]

FINAL SCORE — JAZZ 110 Celtics 92
Jazz win on the road wearing home white uniforms
Deron’s performance is beyond words.
Jazz are first Western Conference to win on the road in Boston and the largest lost of the year by Boston.
Boston had two field goals in the final 7 minutes.
Jazz had […]

Does anyone else miss the Mailman? I’m talking the pre-balding postmaster. The one who patented the drive to the basket that was as much a glamour shot as it was (in Hot-Rod’s words) a “hamma’ dunk.”
During the twilight of his career, Karl softened. Rather than […]

My family all watched the last two Jazz games this weekend (Phoenix and Denver). During those two games . . . can I just say . . . we were about as proud to be Jazz fans as we have been in a long time. We had a lot […]

‘Buckle Up’

The Jazz season is like riding a roller coaster, incredible highs and then mediocrity. You name the variation, the Jazz have ‘been there and done that’ this year. Great start, horrible December, great January and mediocre after the All-Star break. Losing to cellar dwellers, beating the best. Winning at home, losing on the […]
