Major buzzkill here. DirecTV dropping the ball for me. Says NBALP is blacked out even though I can view the other games.

I haven't gotten my head around a prediction for the number of wins, but I will say this: expecting great things from the starters night after night is asking too much and the bench will be brutal. IF Corbin starts Burke, Burks, Hayward, Favors, Kanter (I'm not convinced) they will be great in...

Lottery ties aren't broken based on head-to-head record, etc. They just flip a coin.

Favorite DeShawn moment: On 2003 media day someone from the media mentioned playoffs in a question. DeShawn laughed out loud (although not loud enough that coaches or management could hear him) and said something like "Playoffs? Right!" He didn't have much faith but as you recall the Jazz...

The new CBA limits cash to $3 million per year, not $3 million per trade as in the old agreement. Since the Warriors haven't made any trades in 2013-14 yet, they have the full $3M available to them.

According to that information (I think it was Locke) Murphy WILL be released, but he hasn't been yet. His contract is completely unguaranteed right now, becomes $75K guaranteed if not waived by August 1 and $200K guaranteed if not waived by November 1. Right now they need bodies for summer...

OK, maybe the headline is misleading and there isn't a "demand" per se, but still. Here's a sampling of what Mo brought the Jazz last season: *Played in 46 games, barely over half *Team was 22-24 in games he played (21-15 without him) *43% shooting *Fewer assists per 48 minutes than both...

You're right, camel. If the deal isn't final then it can't be announced. If Minnesota and Utah agreed on the deal only contingent on someone being there at #14 and #21 then it shouldn't be announced. But I don't think that was the case this time. From the reports out of the war rooms, I...

100% agreed and I mentioned this to my brother during the draft. It's stupid for the players and also for the fans. They should be able to announce it when the pick is made as long as it doesn't involve any existing players (then I understand the deal might take longer to review/approve). I'd...

Locke was transparent during the draft. I was eating breakfast in a hotel in Hong Kong and I saw the Gobert trade coming. He said things, tweeted things and finally retweeted a report out of Denver to make it pretty obvious. If it messed up any deal I bet he wouldn't be getting such good...

7:00 am Hong Kong time...which sucks. But I have a 4 hour flight later to sleep it off.

Always liked Magic. The way I saw the eighties was that most people were Jazz fans AND either Lakers or Celtics fans, as those were the two who would likely be squaring off in June. There were a lot of Celtics fans in Salt Lake due to the BYU players in Boston, but I liked the Lakers. Even in...

I was in Auckland in December (week between Christmas and New Years). The place was like a ghost town. I guess it was the combination of holidays and summer and the city was just empty. NZ on the whole was awesome though.

Nope. Jazz at Memphis is a 6:00 pm MDT start. Houston at Lakers is an 8:30 MDT start. It's the Jazz who will make the statement (or not) and the Lakers who will have the last chance to win or lose.

The Jazz already have home court locked up (assuming a Utah-Milwaukee Finals).

I think the Jazz might do OK next year if they start six players.

I wish karma would have caught up a little earlier, like in time to affect the pick a little more.

Can't argue with that. You're the world's greatest detective so you must be right. Unless this is one of the Joker's tricks.

Funny timing. I just finished quizzing my son on African capitals. Ougadougou, Niamey, Yamoussoukro... I didn't see point guard on the list.

Back in the Salt Palace days, fans could stay after just outside the locker room until the players emerged to go to the parking lot. My best friend and I always stayed. Highlights: Frank Layden was ALWAYS gracious to a couple of dumb teenagers. We'd chat him up about the next opponent and...
