Looking towards the future is something that is often forbidding, but at the same time encouraging. I am twenty years old. Twenty years ago, the New York Giants won another Superbowl XXI, President Reagan signed a missile reduction agreement with Gorbachev, “Walk Like an Egyptian” was […]

Picture a huge stuffed couch, one of the wrap around ones with plenty of room for everyone to sit AND put their feet up. A warm, toasty fire in the fireplace . . . a REAL fire that crackles and pops occasionally and has just a slight ‘outdoorsy smoky smell’ . A large screen TV, […]

Look at the players above. None of these guys are superstars. Yet, over the last couple of weeks they were hot commodities for teams in the NBA. They were all released by their bottom-feeder teams and re-signed by contenders. I think this is a awful loophole David Stern has allowed […]

‘Keeping them Focused’ (Doug Pensinger - NBAE/Getty Images)

The last two weeks have been quite a challenge for this florist turned blogger. It feels good to be back in the blogosphere; it’s even better to be back in the basketball world again. Because of the demands of my job in February, my ability to […]

Why not? Our beloved, future-hall-of-fame, no b.s. head coach as President of the United States of America. If that doesn’t quite sound right, how about if we change the title to “Head Coach of the United States of America”? I think it’s a brilliant […]

I’m wincing as I write this, because I can only imagine the response. Here goes. Why does everyone dog pile on Jerry Sloan when the Jazz lose? I’ll answer my own question here: it’s human nature. Coach Sloan is in a no-win situation. […]

Was yesterday really Day 1 of the Jazz season?   Yes it was the 42nd game, but watching the team on the floor yesterday made me think it was Day 1.   The Giricek fiasco is gone and his replacement Kyle Korver is in the flow of the team.  The minute restriction has been lifted on Matt […]

‘Rearranging Milsap’ (Lisa Blumenfeld - NBAE/Getty Images)
As 2007 fades to black and the lingering strains of “don’t tase me bro!” drifts from our consciousness it is time to start anew. As the Jazz’ ‘trail of tears’ December debacle coincided with my annual end-of-the-year ‘trail of hacking mucus’ debacle of my own, I had to come […]

 
 ’Strange Confessions’ (Melissa Majchrzak -NBAE/Getty Images)
If you read the papers you might have seen some interesting confessions made lately.  Confessions from both sides of the Korver/Giricek trade. 
Addressing local media, Jazz VP of Basketball Operations Kevin O’Connor admitted that the Jazz have been interested in acquiring Kyle Korver as far back as last years trade deadline, […]
