Utah Jazz 106, Los Angeles Clippers 85

Unfortunately, I was unable to post about the last 3 Jazz games (losses at Dallas, at San Antonio and at home to Golden State). The losses at Dallas and at San Antonio can be expected by the home loss to the short-handed Warriors was perhaps the worst Jazz game of the year. After winning 15 [...]

Utah Jazz 108, New Orleans Hornets 94

Ronnie Brewer and the Utah Jazz finally showed up in an important road game and thrashed the New Orleans Hornets. The Jazz jumped on the Hornets early with a near-perfect 41 point first quarter. The Jazz scored on 19 of 23 possessions in the quarter and that includes a Memo Okur 40-foot heave at the buzzer [...]

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 [...]

Utah Jazz 104, Phoenix Suns 99

Thank you Mr. Grant Hill.  The Phoenix Suns veteran dropped a pass out of bounds with 25 seconds left allowing the Jazz to force overtime with a Deron Williams jumper over Steve Nash.  In overtime, the Jazz put the Suns playoff hopes on ice with strong play by Deron and a four point play by Andrei [...]

Utah Jazz 99, Houston Rockets 86

It may have been the best all-around game for the Jazz this season despite a horrible opening 5 minutes to the game.  Utah played inspired defense that limited Houston to just under 35% shooting which translated into energy on the offensive end and a solid home victory over the hot Rockets. Player of the game was [...]

Utah Jazz 101, Oklahoma City Thunder 94

Deron Williams took it upon himself in the third quarter to lead the Jazz to a rare road victory and win number 43 of the season.  D-Will was 6 for 6 in the quarter with 4 assists on his way to 24 points and 11 assists in the game. Memo Okur was lighting it up early for Utah but [...]

Utah Jazz 103, Washington Wizards 88

Am I the only one who wishes they were still the Washington Bullets?  This season it doesn’t really matter what the name on the front of the jersey says because the Washington team is just not very good. Don’t tell that to Jerry Sloan and the Jazz though, who lost in D.C. giving the Wizards their [...]

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 [...]

We’re Going Streaking!

Utah Jazz 97, Denver Nuggets 91 With 2:40 to go before the half Nene converted a three point play to but the Denver Nuggets up by 19, the next 2:30+ won the Jazz their 10th straight game.  Deron Williams and the Jazz pushed the tempo leading to 3 layups, 1 dunk and 1 free throw to [...]

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 [...]
