Merry Christmas and thanks for spending some time with us this year here at the ‘Bot.’
Here is a quick little comparison of this season and last - Christmas style. 
This Christmas the Jazz are sitting 3rd in the Nortwest Division with a record of 17-13.  The Jazz have already lost 4 games at home – which equals [...]

‘It’s all about Momentum’ (NBAE/Getty Images)
The preseason is in the books, and the Jazz ended up 4 and 3.
The season is ready to begin.
So, what have we learned?
1. It’s going to be a dogfight, which would make Michael Vick proud. Just because the Jazz is usually a playoff team, no one cares! In fact, it’s [...]

‘Remember When?’ (Kent Horner - NBAE/Getty Images)
When I want to pump myself up for a Jazz game, even preseason ones, I turn to youtube.com to find old clips of Jazz games from the “championship” years. True, I was only 7 years old, but that Jazz team is the one that inspired me to become the [...]

The Official word is in – Deron Williams will be out a minimum of two weeks with a second-degree left ankle sprain.
While the timetable means Williams is scheduled to miss the first 2-3 games of the regular season – it could have been a whole lot worse. The MRI preformed Monday afternoon showed “all bone [...]

‘4th Grade vs. Kobe and the Lakers’ (NBAE/Getty Images)
Hi, we are 23 fourth graders from Reading Elementary in Centerville, Utah.  Our class consists of ten girls and thirteen boys and we are excited to be blogging for the Utah Jazz!  Of the twenty three in our class seventeen of us have attended a Jazz game.  Most [...]

‘Packin’ heat in the SLC Corral’
Toombstone, Arizona. 127 years ago, the most famous gunfight in the history of the west is about to take place. It has come to symbolize the struggle between law-and-order and open-banditry, by some teams, in frontier towns of the Western Conference, where law enforcement was often weak or simply nonexistent
The [...]

‘Kenyon Martin: Tattoo Magnet?’ (NBAE/Getty Images)
With opening night at ESA in reach, I really think it’s time to start stating the obvious (well the obvious according to an overly biased Jazz homer that has been bored out of his mind since May. How much baseball can you really watch?). We all know its coming. Call [...]

‘Is Screech a Jazz fan too?’
The two things I loved most as a kid were the Utah Jazz and Saved by the Bell, so connections between the two come pretty natural for me.  For those who have a harder time seeing the correlation, you’ll just have to hear me out.
As I anxiously anticipate the start [...]

‘Appreciate Kobe?!’ (NBAE/Getty Images)
So I know this Grandma (we’ll call her Betty) who never misses a Phoenix Suns game on TV. Not one.  She can only identify a few of the players by name, and doesn’t “follow” the team in the modern sense. That means she knows very little about contract situations or opt-out clauses [...]

‘Old School?’ (M. Majchrzak - NBAE/Getty Images)
The Jazz have 3 Senior Citizens, Brevin Knight (33), Matt Harpring (32) and Jarron Collins (29).
None of them are ancient, by NBA standards, and many would argue, that they are at the peak of their careers. However, they are the present, not the future of the Utah Jazz.
What are [...]
