Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz are a professional basketball team based in Salt Lake City, Utah. They play in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and are one of four major league franchises in the state of Utah along with Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Utah Blaze of the Arena Football League (AFL). The team was originally the New Orleans Jazz, but was unsuccessful both on the court and financially and moved to Utah in 1979. The Jazz were one of the most successful teams in the late 1980s and 1990s, making it to two NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998 under coach Jerry Sloan while anchored by the combination of point guard John Stockton and power forward Karl Malone. Malone and Stockton are generally seen as two of the best players in history at their respective positions. Full Article on Wikipedia

Well, as some may have guessed, I’m Deron Williams. Not really, but I will be making twice his salary.
Check the date, it’s not April Fool’s. The big news is that I have joined SBNation as their Jazz site. If you haven’t read any SBNation sites, they’re a network of sports blogs. They didn’t have one [...]

Semi-recap, playoff thoughts, and some news
Technology is great except when it doesn’t work. Or if the user doesn’t work. Just like when you have a poor golf game, it’s always the clubs, right? That happened over the weekend as I was out of town and set the DVR to record the Jazz/Lakers game. Turns out all I got was [...]

Recap - Houston Rockets @ Utah Jazz - Game 6 - Round 1 - 2008 playoffs -
It’s Deron. Mr. Williams if you’re nasty.
There are a lot of great players in the NBA. A lot of players can put the ball in the basket and got make flashy passes. But the playoffs seem to separate the elite players from the great. They separate themselves by doing seemingly whatever it takes to [...]

Half-time update - Rockets @ Jazz - Game 6
Big time hit for the Rockets. Rafer Alston won’t return to the game. It sounds like he did something to his ankle. You hate for them to lose a key player especially since you don’t want to hear from the Rockets fans if they lose. But Houston actually went on their run to overcome a [...]

Preview - Houston Rockets @ Utah Jazz - Round 1 - Game 6 - 2008 Playoffs - Become the player you were born to be
Boozer. It’s all on you. You’ve dropped 41 on the Rockets before and we need that again tonight. The Jazz can’t afford to let the Rockets hang around late in this one. We need to put it away early and crush any hope Houston has.
Does anyone remember the last game of the season against [...]

Second Masonic Meeting
I’m on with Steve Mason again today at 4 pm MDT. I’ll be going up against Lee from The Dream Shake as we discuss why our respective teams are a better matchup for the Lakers. This has Jerry Springer written all over it. Both Lee and I will be going back and forth while Mason [...]

Did I just say that out loud?
If Deron ever decides to leave Utah, maybe we can blame it on the local reporters asking dumb questions. No names are mentioned, but yesterday after being asked an amazingly confusing question by a reporter (neither of the two pictured here), Deron gives a short answer. After the reporter walks away, Deron’s inner monologue [...]

There is no defense for the Mailman
Due to the recent NFL draft, an ten-year-old story has come to light again with new details. Demetrius Bell was drafted by the Buffalo Bills last weekend in the NFL draft. Demetrius is the son of former Jazz great Karl Malone.
The two biggest disturbing details are that one, the mother of Bell was only 13 [...]

Recap - Utah Jazz @ Houston Rockets - Game 5 - Round 1 - 2008 playoffs -
You know, if this was any other team that was heading back home with a 3-2 lead and a good chance to wrap things up, their fans would be stating that they just wanted to win it at home. But most fans this morning and last night seem to think that the series is [...]

Halftime notes - Game 5 - Jazz @ Rockets
Boozer. We need you man.
An ugly series just turned hideous.
Good, Jazz hold Rockets to 38% shooting. Bad, the Jazz shoot 37%. And Utah is only 4-9 from the line.
Maybe the T on Booze will get his going.
Brewer is shooting 57% in the series. And despite Ronnie shooting 3-8 for the game, sorry Kyle, you need [...]

First round playoffs notes
T-Mac is rubbing off on me. Just when I should be writing 2-3 times a day and stepping it up in the playoffs, I disappear. Let’s just say real life was playing me too physical. I don’t have any tapes I can send in to the league unfortunately.
So let’s get going again with a [...]

Preview - Houston Rockets @ Utah Jazz - Game 3 - 2008 playoffs
I put my undefeated in-attendance record on the line tonight when the Rockets come to town for game 3. I don’t think my streak of 7 games is in jeopardy though. It would be one of the bigger playoff upsets if Houston were to pull this out.
They’ll have Alston back which should provide a [...]

As if we didn’t have image problems already…
From KSL.com,
As if Jazz fans aren’t typecast enough. Now a group of FLDS sympathizers are going to protest the game on Thursday v. Houston. They’re protesting the treatment of the FLDS church and families in Texas that’s going on right now. The Salt Lake City attorney, Bob Breeze (who looks like he’s trying to drum [...]
