    Where Do You Live? Inside Utah or Outside? (poll)

    Born in Turkey, grown up in Germany, now back in Turkey for the last 40 years. I' been a Jazz fan since the early 90'ties, 'Mailman delivers' in Turkish(Postacı adrese teslim ediyor) was so catchy, I was immediately a fan. Never been to USA, but I would really like to visit SLC to watch a...

    Coronavirus

    I caught the first iteration of the virus at the end of 2020. the vaccination program in my country at that times did not include my age range, neither did they consider my banking job as a priority risk group, although we were constantly exposed directly to a lot of customers. Wearing masks...

    For those Jazz fans that LURK here but don't post

    I used to post semi-frequently on the old site. I lost somewhat interest when it crashed, followed by me enventualy getting married. I tried later a comeback, however some serious drama during the last part of pregnancy of my wife, and birth of my son, shook up my life entirely. So much so...

    Doner kebabs in Utah?

    Well, if you can't find doner kebaps then I got a couple of mighty fine, devilish tips for you. Tip 1: the middle eastern people other than the Turks love to eat doner kebap too. The difference being, it's called shawarma down there. So barring wee variations it is basically the same food. The...

    Jazz at Nets, 3/26, 5:30PM MT--KFNZ, ROOT, WFAN, YES

    I thought comparing Deron's situation with Jordan's was a bit of a stretch. If you wanted to make a case of Deron's poor leadership you don't needed to look further back then the very same Nets under the rule of Jason Kidd. He managed to carry his team every single time to the play-offs...

    Fesenko??

    As he made enough cash during his Jazz tenure to secure lifetime cigarette and vodka supply in Ukraine, he'll probably call it a career and retire for good. I have been told that he is leaning to join fellow ukrainian social activist group Femen, who may well be a better fit to utilize his talents.

    Lockout is OVER!!! NBA is back according to sources

    That's exactly what I thought when I red a bit through the new deal. Other then the new tax rules there is nothing at all that favours small market teams. How on earth did they accept to keep the MLE around?

    Fesenko: The "go to guy"

    I don't know about "go to guy", but after his last season performance it should rather be "(soon) to go guy" in reference to his NBA career.

    Can players play elsewhere in a lockout? Should they?

    I remember Marko Milic came over from the Suns to my club Fenerbahce during the lockout. He eventually returned when the lockout ended and played briefly for the Suns again.

    KOC wanted to draft Paul anyways, maybe that's what he is really after.

    Let's Trade for a 3 point shooter.

    OP got stuck with 3PT% which alone won't show you how efficient a wing player is. All those guys he mentioned may have a lousy long range shooting percentage, but they have one thing in common and that is their ability to score on you even if the opponents tigthens their defense. Meanwhile our...

    Why is this team so much tougher?

    I still don't understand how we are a tougher team on defense when 1) we given up the 7th most points to opponents (104 PPG) 2) are the 8th worst rebounding team 3) give up the 5th most rebounds to the opponents Yeah we didn't quit the last couple of games and managed to win, but we did...
