Game 1: Lakers 113, Jazz 100

It was a second half to build upon. It was a first half to forget. After the Jazz started the opening few minutes strong, the Lakers imposed their will on the visiting 8th seed and built a 22 point halftime lead. In the second half, the Jazz fought back to narrow the margin to as few [...]

Boozer Turmoil?

There has been speculation recently that there has been issues in the Jazz locker room. Now, I can’t help but wonder if that turmoil is centered around Carlos Boozer.   Yet Boozer still sat the entire fourth quarter in favor of Paul Millsap, with Jazz coach Jerry Sloan suggesting before the game that he has considered [...]

Denver Nuggets 114, Utah Jazz 104

Well, that happened. The Utah Jazz were able to jump out on the Denver Nuggets by 11 in the first quarter… and then J.R. Smith started raining threes. Smith was the dagger in the side of the Jazz as he dropped 28 points on 8-13 behind the arc… but he was hardly the only problem the [...]

Portland Trail Blazers 125, Utah Jazz 104

The Portland Trail Blazers shot 61.8% from the field.   It was the fourth highest shooting percentage that the Utah Jazz have given up since the 1986-87 season.  Not only that, it was the highest since the Jazz allowed Houston to shoot 62.7% in the 1994-95 season.  Utah has never won when allowing opponents [...]

Utah Jazz 112, New York Knicks 104

Déjà vu. The Jazz lead by 24 early in the third quarter and then, almost as if sensing what the fans expected but wouldn’t say, allowed the New York Knicks to come all the way back to take the lead.  Maybe they are challenging themselves. Maybe they want to keep the fans interested.  Maybe they are [...]

Phoenix Suns 118, Utah Jazz 114

  Ouch. Another winnable road game down the drain. Such a great game full of so much bad defense, unexpected heroes (for the Suns) and disappointments (for the Jazz). Honestly, I thought that the Suns lost the game with 8:10 left in the game when they took their best player out, Louis Amundson.  Amundson won this game for [...]

Utah Jazz 112, Indiana Pacers 100

The Utah Jazz have struggled mightily all season long when playing on the road.  Tuesday night they got relatively low output from their two Olympians: Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer.  Despite this, the supporting cast was able to pick up the slack and leave Conseco Fieldhouse with their 12th victory in a row.  Deron Williams had [...]

Jazz Outlast Rockets for 9th Straight

Utah Jazz 101, Houston Rockets 94 It was a barometer game. Sure Houston was playing for the second night in a row.  Sure it was another home game for a team that struggles much more on the road.  But no doubt about it, this was a telling game. The Rockets were nearly as hot has the [...]
