The Curse is Over!

I don’t really believe in curses, but the last ten years have made me reconsider to what extent I don’t believe in them. I was 18 the last time Utah won in San Antonio, and at times, it has felt like I might never see them do it again. But ...

A Season of Opposites

This season has not been typical for the Jazz. In fact it basically has been the complete opposite of most Jazz seasons. Tonight as I sat staring at the final score, this point it home. I could not stop staring at the score. 90-83. I had to keep looking at it ...

Foul on Derek Fisher

I was pretty excited when the Jazz traded for Fisher back in the summer of 2006. Since John and Karl left, it was going to be nice to finally have a veteran on the team who had experience and knew how to win. It was also great to realize that ...

Why Doesn’t AK Block Shots Anymore?

“Blocked by Kirilenko!” You don’t hear that much anymore. Back in 2004 through 2006, you would actually hear it about 3.3 times a game. Nowadays, you only hear it about 1.1 times a game. Andrei Kirilenko became a fan-favorite while playing along side Stockton and Malone during his rookie year. You had ...

Jazz Over Raptors and More

My goal is to jot down all the thoughts swimming through my head within 30 minutes of the final buzzer of the Jazz victory over the Raptors. Without further adieu, here is a veritable potpourri of what’s on my mind tonight. On behalf of all Utah fans, seeing Deron Williams back ...

Guess They Never Got the Memo

While McCall and I like nodding our heads like yeah and moving our hips like yeah, I‘m pretty sure the Jazz players do not. And I‘m pretty sure they do not appreciate their game highlights being played to that particular (or any!) Miley Cyrus song. I could be wrong about ...

Spurs Are Jazz’s Biggest Measuring Stick

Once upon a time, the Utah Jazz owned the San Antonio Spurs. In this land of long ago and far away, Utah routinely eliminated their Alamo City rivals from the playoffs. The Jazz sent David Robinson and his fellow black-clad ballers slinking off to an early summer three times in ...

We’ll Know on Thursday

I received the following Onion-style news article by email - three separate times - this morning. Once from a Laker-loving acquaintance in Las Vegas and twice from friends and family here in Utah: Justice in Salt Lake City... Salt Lake City, UT (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center ...

I Want T-Mac and Battier

I didn’t catch much of the action this weekend, but from what I have read so far, it looks like I missed out. On Friday, I got home from work and fell asleep until the game was half-way over. I was pleasantly surprised to wakeup and find out the Jazz ...

Get This Man a Coat, Please

If you look at this picture closely, and I am sure some of you have, it would seem the gentleman in the middle does not need a coat. But in reality he has asked for coats for the last several years at this time of year. After the Sacramento fiasco that ...

Ronnie Price or Eric Maynor?

When the season began, there was no doubt in my mind who Deron’s backup would be. Ronnie Price seemed to be the difference maker the Jazz needed. I even wrote a blog about such a topic. However, coming off a recent road trip, in which Ronnie Price went down with ...

My Buddy Deron

I remember one time in 4th grade I saw my teacher at a store shopping. I was in awe as she pensively studied the product on the shelves. I watched her from afar, nervously hoping that she wouldn’t see me and for some reason feel the need to critique my ...

Finally!

I watched Saturday's game as I do every single game the Jazz play. I was pleased with the Jazz's effort and committment to work as a team. Going 2-2 on a eastern road trip has proven not to be an easy thing for the Jazz. They also were taking on ...

UTA vs DET

UTA @ SAS

UTA vs TOR

Autograph Adventures

Back in the late 90's, I remember seeing an interview with Alanis Morrisette on MTV. This was back when she was the biggest star in the music world and back when MTV actually played, and talked about, music. I remember this interview because of one single thing that she said. ...

The Parent/Fan Factor

Deron Williams has a piece of artwork in his locker. It's a masterpiece of number 8 himself, drawn by a child. He made this statement in regards to his absence: "I would like to thank (Jazz owner) Mrs. (Gail) Miller, Greg Miller and Coach (Jerry) Sloan for allowing me to return to ...

Carlos “The Businessman” Boozer

I’ve got a new nickname for Carlos Boozer, and he’s not going to like it. In contrast to the rain, sleet or snow blue collar work ethic of Karl Malone, the Jazz’s famous Mailman, I’ve starting calling Boozer “The Businessman” for his (I cringe to say it) selfishness. It kinda ...

10 Road Trip Observations

After the first Eastern road trip of the year, Jazz fans have more to be excited about than they did ten days ago. I have to admit that I fully expected the Jazz to go 0-4 on the trip and to come back in worse shape than they left. Fortunately, ...
