“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 [...]

…does it take until you get to the center of an NBA championship ring?  41,236.  Which….means absolutely nothing, but I like obscure questions referencing candy commercials from my youth.
The better (and more logical) question is: Are the Jazz, as currently constructed, a championship caliber team?  The argument of what components make up a title contender [...]

There’s no doubt in my mind that Deron Williams is the best player on the Utah Jazz. Despite this, Deron is somewhat disappointing statistically. Don’t get me wrong, I like Deron, but he has some pretty glaring statistical flaws that prevent him from being a top 5 player in the NBA. Besides, writing this post [...]

Let’s just pretend that as you read that headline you were laughing with me.
I know, I know, you expected to click on this title and see an empty page, but not so fast, dear Jazz fan, not so fast.
While such a How to Guide would be thin like a Kirilenko upper arm, it does exist, [...]

Ever since draft day in 2005, comparisons have been drawn between Hornets point guard Chris Paul and Utah’s Deron Williams. While a lot of good arguments can be made in the debate over who is the better point guard, the bottom line is usually obscured by a bunch of statistical analysis and speculative questions such [...]

Brevin Knight is actually a pretty decent point guard. What makes him interesting is his defensive production, he’s fantastic at both man-to-man defense and he gets a fair amount of steals on big men in the lane. Let’s do do the usual point-by-point breakdown:
Scoring: Can’t really shoot. He has put down jumpers at a 35% [...]

Deron Williams and Chris Paul are always the big draw anytime the Jazz and Hornets get together.  These battles are the measuring stick that most Jazz fans use when comparing the two All-Star caliber point guards.  This last game though it was a different match I wanted to see.
Millsap is not your prototypical power forward.  [...]

I don’t know about you, but I’m fed up with all the Deron Williams vs. Chris Paul drama.  I’m so fed up with it that I’m going to contribute to it.  Go figure.  If you can’t bear to read one more word on the subject, I whole-heartedly understand and therefore excuse you from reading any [...]

‘Who Disses the Mailman?!’ (AP)
So the pre-season hate-fest has begun. And while the Spazz-nation is freaking out about it, I’m feeling right at home. Why? Because, it happens EVERY year. It is what it is. If the Jazz win 60 games the previous year and go deep in the playoffs, they might be predicted to [...]

‘Gustav Aftermath with Hanna Approaching’ (AP)
I left New Orleans on Friday with an eerie feeling. Bound for Ann Arbor where the Michigan Wolverines awaited my beloved Utes in the Big House, I watched the Crescent City’s skyline fade in my rearview mirror as I sped toward the airport. While the plane lifted off, [...]
