A Tough Loss in Dallas

Posted by Matt Sanchez on November 04, 2009

There I was sitting, giggling and telling everyone that we were finally going to win on the road on a back-to-back!
Just then, part way through the 4th quarter with the Jazz up 13 Dirk Nowitzki’s statline appears on the screen.  “Wow, Dirk only has 11 points.  He’s not the guy you want to get hot,” [...]

Happy Halloween: NBA Costume Party

With Halloween upon us, I used my Jazzbots credentials to get a peek at this Saturday night’s exclusive NBA costume party.  Many of the outfits will come as no surprise with players dressing as their look alikes or alter egos.  Some costumes will surely terrify while others could serve as a preview for life after [...]

Jazz Opening Night: Mixed Results

First the good news from last night:

The Yankees lost.
Memo was only out a few minutes after getting plowed through by Nene in the first 24 seconds of the game. This was impressive since he apparently injured both major leg joints on the same play. I’m so jaded by injuries that I didn’t even bat an [...]

What The NBA Can Learn From Soccer

A number of news articles last week mentioned how excited some of the Jazz players were about visiting Europe for a couple of pre-season games.  AK and Memo played soccer in their younger years and were eagerly anticipating their field trip to a Chelsea soccer match in London.
In all honesty, I’m not a huge soccer [...]

Preseason Awards Watch, Utah Style

Many players and coaches will self-effacingly state that awards and honors do not mean much to them.  That may be the truth in many cases, as they will place the team’s success ahead of their own personal accolades (or at least they want that perception).  Still, I admit that I loved reading C.J. Miles’ tweet [...]

Improvement from Within

As is the case with most rabid Jazz fans, I find myself checking every hoops-related website multiple times each day. Likewise, sports radio is a regular companion in both the car and the office (but not at home…want to keep peace with my wife and girls!). Besides trying to stay on top of current events, [...]

How Many Licks…

Posted by Trevor Fuchs on September 18, 2009

…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 [...]

Dodgeball? I’ll Take It.

Finally, some Jazz related news!  It’s related, not specifically about basketball but I’ll take dodgeball involving Jazz players.  Every day when I’m in the car I scan the sports radio searching for something, anything even slightly NBA related.  Alas, the only thing nationally is baseball and football, and the majority of the local talk involves [...]

Are the Jazz Stuck in the Mud?

With the 24th of July upon us, members of the Utah Jazz decided recently to commemorate the trek of pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley by undertaking the journey themselves in a covered wagon. With a disappointing season still lingering and a contentious offseason consuming them, the Jazz sought unity and coalescence along the trail. [...]

Happy Boozer, Okur, Korver Back

I didn’t think I’d say this, but I’m excited for the Jazz’s current roster to take one more shot at the rest of the NBA. As the 2009 season drew to a close and the free agency period approached, Utahns waited with equal parts anticipation and anxiety. Most of us expected a major shake up [...]
