    Isaah Thomas Calls Malone the Weakest Link

    My problem is you can't blindly blame the refs for losing games. That is a poor excuse. Of course refs have an effect on games but it works both ways. Fans always notice more when their team *doesn't* get the call not when they *do* get the call. If you're going to be the guy on the team (and...

    Game Thread: Utah @ BYU, Sat. 9/21 8:15pm MT, ESPN2

    Right because when you are invited to stay the night with someone (regardless of it being BYU approved or not) you're picking a crappy hotel. You're absolutely right. Could I have gotten a hotel room instead of staying in her apartment? Yes. Would it have mattered either way at that point? No...

    Bill Simmons & Jalen Rose Jazz season preview

    I didn't say we didn't have a nightlife. What I said was that is uncommon for restaurants around here to be open past 10 PM. Personally, I'm not much of a bar crawler and I hate alcohol. But it is tough to eat later in the evening around here, and that is probably true for most cities (I mean...

    Game Thread: Utah @ BYU, Sat. 9/21 8:15pm MT, ESPN2

    Actually they closed the canyon I couldn't get through even if I wanted to. as far as "other options" no there really isn't in Utah county. Most of the apartment complexes are BYU approved (particularly if they are in any of the convenient parts of town.) or you have to spend quite a bit...

    Bill Simmons & Jalen Rose Jazz season preview

    As for the video, I thought they were pretty spot on. I mean Utah didn't do anything other than "we're playing the long game, we're going to see how the young guys develop, and we'll see how the draft goes next season." That being said Bill and Jalen both agreed that they had a bunch of valuable...

    Isaah Thomas Calls Malone the Weakest Link

    You can't blame the refs. The best players on your team have to step up. What about that embarrassing 54 points we put up in a game in the Finals? Utah had chances to win both of those series. Unfortunately, it came down to a historic shot (though we still had a possession to win the game or...

    Bill Simmons & Jalen Rose Jazz season preview

    outside of seeing a Jazz game there isn't much nightlife to go around. Most restaurants close around here at like 10 PM. Nightlife doesn't always mean "strippers and blow" but man, it can get hard trying to find a decent non-chain place to eat at or something to do other than a movie after 8 PM...

    Game Thread: Utah @ BYU, Sat. 9/21 8:15pm MT, ESPN2

    I had to stay at my wife's BYU approved housing before we were married because there was a huge storm and there was no way I was driving back to Price through that canyon safely. Her roommates were not happy, but whatever, we ended up moving in with each other at the beginning of next month...

    un educated jazz fans piss me off

    I don't hate the trade. I think we got far better than GSW did just for the fact that if you look at it (2 "bad" contracts 1 "potential player" 2 unprotected, potential lottery picks, 2 second round picks for Iggy and a former 47th pick? compare that to what Boston got for Pierce and Garnett, I...

    un educated jazz fans piss me off

    I'll see how it plays out obviously. The games have not been played and I'm not certain the Jazz are done yet. We will have so many valuable expiring contracts and versatility when the trade deadline comes that we could improve even more. and i was probably way too hasty in my judgement, and...

    un educated jazz fans piss me off

    I trust the Jazz FO and let's face it I'm not going anywhere. A lot of those teams built their teams in FA though, Chicago got really lucky and got a number 1 pick when they shouldn't have but look at teams like Portland, how many lottery seasons have they had in the past 8 or 9 years? Most of...

    un educated jazz fans piss me off

    A lot of you misunderstood what I was saying. I just hate losing. I realize all these moves are smart and they are necessary for the Jazz to succeed in the long term. Doesn't mean I have to like the product they are going to putting on the floor each night. That being said, once OKC got Durrant...

    un educated jazz fans piss me off

    Which means will have to match a poison contract that eats up any of our extra cap space that season just to keep the players around? (I don't know anything about contracts, but I remember when Portland signed Millsap to heavily front loaded contract and we had to match it because he was a RFA...

    un educated jazz fans piss me off

    I'm still going to follow the Jazz. I'd love for the team to develop the young players, but that should have happened last season, or the season before that. The FO basically had to take away all the previous players and any chance the team had of making the playoffs before they could "develop"...

    un educated jazz fans piss me off

    I personally hate losing. I hate that we are in a position now where we are not likely to make the playoffs of field a really competitive team next season. You can talk all you want about unproven draft picks and I'm not saying the Jazz are done wheeling and dealing, but I'd much rather have a...

    Zone employee says it's a done deal to keep Corbin

    I think as Jazz fans we need to demand more out of the organization. If we are not competing for a championship or on the verge of a championship we should be upset. I for the life of me can't figure out why Tinsley was always the first off the bench? Why the consistent reluctance to let the...

    Turning in my Jazz fan card

    I just want to see my team compete at a realistic level. I personally think that Corbin was the worst coach to choose after Sloan retired. I think we needed a coach that had a lot more veteran savvy than just being an assistant coach. I love the Jazz's young talent, but Corbin's poor coaching...

    Too Much Talk About the Lakers

    I've had to turn off the national media outlets completely. While I do think it is Utah's (and LA's...) that they could have won basically 1 more game and not be in position like this, I just can't stand the media's overemphasis of "big market" teams. If I was a casual observer, I would think...

    Is anyone else annoyed

    Won't the Lakers also get swept too? I mean they aren't going to beat a full Spurs or OKC team.
