‘Fish: Back Where he Belongs’ (A. Bernstein - NBAE/Getty Images)
There has been a lot of discussion, recriminations, boos, cheers, hugs and castigations of Fish. And, I’ve got to take the blame for some small part of the hub-bub.
Fish is a great guy! He is a great leader and community minded citizen. You can tell he […]

There’s a new player on the Jazz roster. No, I’m not talking about Fes; although, wasn’t it fun to watch him play in the Laker game? No, the new player I’m talking about has been on the team before. I’m referring to one Andrei Kirilenko. Triple double, and near 5 by […]

‘Fish: Now Chopped Liver?’ (M. Majchrzak - NBAE/Getty Images)

Ridiculous, absurd, sad, shameful, embarrassing. These are some of the adjectives I screamed out loud at my television last night as I watched the Jazz whoop up on the Lakers. But they weren’t directed at the Lakers poor interior defense, although they could have […]

Now that he is the starter, will Ronnie Brewer finish close games on the floor or on the bench?
Harpring is a veteran with a reputation for being tough. A toughness that has made him a favorite of many fans but more importantly the coaching staff. More often then not Coach Sloan has left Harpring in […]

When the Jazz last went to the NBA Finals. They were lead there by the big three, Stockton, Malone, and Jeff Hornacek. It may not be fair to anyone to say that the Jazz have replaced Stockton with Deron Williams, or suggest that Carlos Boozer is a clone of Karl Malone. But […]

Last year there was a constant media reference made, that Gordan Giricek didn’t play defense as well as Derek Fisher, thus Fish’s starting role and more minutes. I would argue this was not exactly the case, at least, from my point of view.
Fish was stronger, but way undersized for a 2. Most shooting guards shot […]

Twenty-Eight minutes, 10 points and three assists a game need to be replaced in the backcourt with the departure of Derek Fisher. While the leadership void will fall up upon others, the on floor vacancy will fall upon numerous shoulders.

Second year player Ronnie Brewer comes to camp with a vastly improved body. […]

While generally not being a fan of pastel colors outside of the Easter season, I think it’s safe to say we all felt our Jazz pride burst through the dam when we saw the sea of powder blue fill the seats of Energy Solutions Arena and “welcome” opposing clubs during last season’s playoffs. Baby blue […]

It was almost a quiet off-season for the Jazz. Sure there were moments of extreme interest such as the draft or the departure of Derek Fisher. But for the most part, the news coming off the NBA wire involved other teams, other players, or NBA officials. It was almost a quiet off-season, but somewhere on […]

Derek Fisher was a great guy, good leader and great trade for the Jazz, divesting themselves of 3 marginal players, their salaries and opening up 2 roster spots. That being said, Fish left something to be desired in his play. He was certainly not a 2, and his presence denied Brewer an opportunity to develop. […]
