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, […]

                                              
You had to love Memo’s comment, just before these last 6 games started, all against .600+ teams. I can’t find the exact quote, but it went something like this. “So, Memo how hard are these last 6 games going to be for the Jazz?” Memo said something like, “They are going to be hard […]

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 […]

‘In the Zone’
Memo to self:
Remind self to not get too elated with every Memo long distance connection. Conserve your voice. The playoffs are coming. Or, are they here already?
Yes, that was me you heard yelling Moneyeeee!!! from the upper echelons of the arena with every Memo launch from 3 point land. Memo, or should I […]

Los Angeles landed Pau Gasol. Phoenix is clearing multiple lockers to usher Shaq back into title contention (on a completely unrelated note, how fun would it be to see Shaq and Kobe square off in the playoffs?). Pressure is mounting for other GMs to pull the trigger […]

‘MoneyMoneyMoney’
I shouldn’t repeat the same topic twice, but if you’re reading this, it passed the censor.
‘Money’ was not just great against the Magic, he was fantastic. He carried the Jazz. It was truly beyond an All-Star performance. 29 points on 67% (10/15) from the field, 80% (4/5) from 3 point land and 83% (5/6) from […]

The short handed Jazz took the even shorter handed Suns to an easy victory Friday. This is not a true reflection of how these teams might do, if they meet in the playoffs. However, the Jazz needed this win.
Even more importantly, Memo, ‘ka-ching’, reverted to ‘Money’. He was back in All-Star form. Since the birth […]

FINAL SCORE  — JAZZ 110 HEAT 101
Very strong 4th quarter by the Jazz
Wade didn’t hit a field goal from the 6:25 mark
Jazz only had 5 open (scoreless) possessions in the entire 4th Quarter
Okur was the star of the night — 25 points on 10 of 14 shooting.
Fantastic passing by […]

As I was flipping through the radio stations in the car, I came across a station that was playing Christmas carols. The music filled the air and I began to sing the familiar words, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. As I realized what I was singing, a smile […]

Pains of marital compromise are in full force this time of year. Having tied the knot in March, my new bride exercised extreme patience in allowing ESPN and TNT to dominate the television from April to June. Consequently, since San Antonio slammed the door on
Cleveland, I have endured enough “What Not To Wear” […]
