    Someone make a game thread, and get rid of baseless hypothetical trade threads

    More experienced fans than me (i.e. all of you) may have been well aware of this little stat, so bear with me, but according to NBA.com that's the 32nd straight game the opponent of the Jazz has had more FT attempts than Utah has. That's appalling, are we just giving away too many fouls, not...

    Ty - starting to take us down.....

    In any sport, players need confidence to succeed. Doesn't mean a coach can't chew a player for playing badly, but you will very rarely see a team do well if they have no confidence. Sportsmen are no different to anyone else. If I'm doing my day job and I have my bosses' backing and feel like...

    This looks more like it. Especially the horrible 3 point stat :( FG 10th 3P% 29th FT 15th Off Reb 9th Def Reb 21st Assists 17th Turnover 6th Steals 14th Blocks 3rd Points for 11th Points against 24th*

    LOL - my bad, stupid yahoo stats defaulted to 'opposition stats' for some reason and I hadn't spotted it. *snowboy goes back to drawing board with tail firmly between legs* :D Edit - FWIW I think the player stats are right. If not I may go find a tall building to jump off

    Clearly, things are not going well for the Jazz at the moment. Do the stats paint a clear picture of what's going wrong or do they lie? FG% 6th 3PT% 26th FT% 6th Off Reb 21st Def Reb 22nd APG 27th Turnovers 18th Steals 23rd Blocks 4th Pts For 11th Pts Ag 24th Points per...

    Game thread: Game #19 : Trail Blazers at Utah, Monday 01/30/2012 7:00 PM MST

    Feels to me like a game that could go either way. Jazz at home might be said to give them the edge but I think the Blazers might just be the better team across the board. Would be a good win for the Jazz if they can get it. I'm not confident though.

    Incidentally, did anyone know the Jazz rank 8th in FT%? It ain't all bad.

    As a new fan, could someone explain to me exactly how this deal works and at what point the Warriors 1st rounder becomes that of the Jazz? Thanks :)

    Knickerbockers Hever Their Knickers In a Bunch

    Rumour out there is that the 76ers might make a move for Stoudemire. Which seems very odd. D'Antoni can stay as long as he likes. Knicks losing = funny.

    For those of you BYU pukes cheering Jimmer...

    Oh dear, this was one of the things putting me off supporting the Jazz.... Suppose I'd better avoid all this nonsense and move on.

    Well, so far it's been interesting! The massive over reactions by a limited few to a double OT loss when one of your best players is injured is typical of most forums I guess, but none the less "amusing" for want of a better word. (I know it's not funny when your team loses a home game they...

    team captain?

    Obviously, I'm new to all this, but whilst the team are doing well as they are what is the point in appointing a captain? The jazz seem to be winning via having a deep roster, not one or two stars (we ain't the Heat). If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    I'm glad you've noticed, I've never been anywhere in the world which has bacon that gets close to British bacon. One of the few things that we do better than anyone else. Not often Brits can say their product is the best in the world - but I make an exception for bacon :)

    Your history degree serves you well my friend. Hopefully now the great dictator is no more the country can have a new lease of life. And a guy with better glasses at the helm. Thanks for all the warm welcomes, the luck of the Irish did the Jazz no harm last night anyway! :)

    New fan from the UK

    I think there are a number of factors really. First, when I really thought about it, I wanted to follow a Western Conference team. I prefer the teams in the west, they interest me a lot more. That said I do have some affection for the Bucks and (perhaps surprisingly for a Philly team) the...

    The lack of competitiveness is the major factor for me too. One thing I like about American sports is the relative parity. Like you, I am gravitating towards international football too, none of that rubbish to contend with. We should get on like a house on fire :D
