    New juicy rumor: Jazz headed to Seattle

    I spent almost 15 years living and working in Seattle, so let me address this rumor. It's hogwash. The reason the Sonics moved to OKC is because Stern was trying to extort the city of Seattle into buying the NBA a brand new arena. This, on top of the city and the state basically buying both...

    Jazz Team Reacts to Trade

    I give Greg props for calling himself. He could have had the office do it. He did it himself. That takes stones.

    Time for Corbin To Make HIs Mark

    This is 100% true. With Deron, Ty was kind of a lame duck coach. But now that Deron is gone, this is Ty's chance to claim the slot for his own. I'd been speculating that Hornacek was the better fit, but with Deron gone, it's now Ty's job to lose. I hope he assert himself and gets this team...

    Who do hate to see leave more?

    It's possible both Deron **AND** Jerry wore out the welcome mat. Their mutual animosity might have been a general corrosive on team morale and welfare, such that their co-departure signals a new era in more ways than one. With Deron gone, it's essentially a journeyman team again. Like in...

    Bring back the defense

    I agree with this 100% Tonight was a stellar example of how defensively awful the Jazz have become. With the offense struggling, the Jazz didn't know what to do with the Warriors, and Golden state ran right ouf the building with the win. Utah played almost no help defense at all, and the...

    How did you become a Jazz fan?

    My Dad took me to the Salt Palace to see my first Jazz game in 1985, and I've never looked back. I even spent 14 years living in or near Seattle, rooting for the Utah Jazz as the "away" team. That was fun, especially in the later years when the Jazz PWN3D the Supes, prior to their acrimonious...

    Deron's no All-Star...and we all know it!

    +1 This.

    Bring back the defense

    Branching off from the other thread, where Eaton came up. I was watching this video today, as a reminder of the kind of player Eaton was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzUGKQk00QM What it reminded me of, unfortunately, is that Utah hasn't been a truly tough defensive team since Malone...

    Gordon Chiesa on 1320

    Draft Gordy. That is all, carry on.

    The perfect last assistant coach

    Combine Fez's superior athletics with Eaton's work ethic and defensive smarts, and you'd have a whopper of a valuable player. Next to Malone, I can't think of anyone else who has a better Jazz pedigree for teaching big men how to stand their ground, body up, block shots, and alter the...

    The perfect last assistant coach

    Hell, bring back Big Mark. He could school Fez on how to become a defensive enforcer like nobody's business. Mark Eaton had zero talent and became an all-star through force of will. And, the fans would love it!

    Jazz's Hornacek officially joins Corbin's staff

    It's a hunch. Yes, Corbin might grow into the role. But if the Jazz implode and miss the playoffs, there are going to be serious questions about coaching throughout the summer.

    Jazz fan forever?

    I remain a Jazz fan against my better judgment. If it were possible to be a Jazz fan and punish Stern and the rest of the NBA for being a crooked league with a crooked league boss, I would do it. Alas, going to games and watching on TV more or less supports the whole enchilada whether I like...

    Is it LeBron's Fault?

    +1 Frankly, I think they should cut the games back to twice a week, no more and no less. More time for practices and for people to heal up after injuries. 50 game season, with the playoffs beginning in early April. Also, cut the playoffs from 7-game series down to the following...

    Is it LeBron's Fault?

    This was a great post IMHO. It highlights just how much disparity there is in the NBA, compared to the MLB, or even the NFL. I would also add that the NBA has the worst officiating -- by far -- among the big sports leagues in the US. In the MLB or the NFL the officials might blow a call once...

    Jazz's Hornacek officially joins Corbin's staff

    Jeff will be the obvious choice for Head Coach, once Corbin decides to bow out. Which will probably happen this summer. If nothing else, having Jeff onboard will please fans sour at Sloan's departure -- a reassurance that The Old School has not, in fact, left the building.

    Bring in Karl Malone!

    First order of business would be to trade Deron, because he's going to LeBron anyway. Second order of business would be to get Jeff Hornacek onboard, and have he and Karl go to Greg's office and inform Greg that there will be no player revolts tolerated. None. If Greg can't back Horney and...

    Sloan loses his job; NBA loses the battle

    Great article. Sad article. My heart just isn't in this Jazz team with Jerry Sloan gone. I've been a Jazz fan since 1985. Maybe 2011 is the year I hang it up, too? Lord knows I've got better things to do with my nights than watch the Jazz turn into just another small-market victim of modern...
