Last night’s game against the Dallas Mavericks was reDirk….I mean ridiculous. It was a great close game at the end, but I’m afraid the quote of the day on KJAZZ t.v. was terribly apt. The quote belonged to Jerry Sloan who was talking about his team’s lack of experience in the playoffs, and […]

The good, the bad and the ugly of the All-Star Weekend that was.
Worst:
5- Yao Ming jacking up 3’s. Yao instead of trying to impress us with your range, why don’t you try and respond to the beat down Dwight Howard was giving you?
4- Boozer being the last man […]

One of […]

‘Hugging: A New Penalty?’ (A. Bernstein - NBAE/Getty Images)
So, a couple of posts ago; I talked about a bleacher brawl at a high school football game. I never did tell how it ended. I know, I know, this is a Jazz blog-don’t worry, I’m getting there. Anyway, a police officer was fetched […]
