Careful, Jazz Players. Jerry Sloan Is Monitoring Your Facebook Status Updates.
Grumpy old man Jerry Sloan and the Jazz brass are reportedly unhappy with little-used backup Kyrylo Fesenko, which isn't terribly surprising given that Jerry Sloan hasn't been happy since the Eisenhower Administration. What's surprising is the reason: Facebook status updates. More »

Utah Jazz's Family Ticket Pack Packs More Family
Many NBA teams have a four-pack family plan on quieter nights, perhaps against less popular opponents. You know, tickets, hot dogs, maybe Cokes... the usual. By our quick count, over a third of the league brandishes such a package. (Here's a hint: if your team was already selling out games despite being lousy, you don't have a family pack.) However, the Utah Jazz had to make certain adjustments to make it work for them: More »

Iranian National Team To Play Utah Jazz. I See No Way This Can End Badly
Before it heads over to Beijing to compete in Olympic basketball competition, the Iranian national squad will play a series of exhibition games against NBA summer league teams at Salt Lake Community College.

The Jazz Have Some Truly Charming Fans
Last month, ESPN's Ric Bucher took some heat for saying that Jazz fans are vicious because they're Mormons and there's nothing else to do in Salt Lake City. That might or might not be true, but one thing is certain: They really are quite vicious. More »

Alas, Poor T-Mac...I Knew Him, Horatio!
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who will never, ever forget McGrady's greatness in defeat. He's kind of like a 21st century Dominique Wilkins, if 'Nique had never made it out of the first round. When he's not praising T-Mac, he's probably making fun of him at Basketbawful. Enjoy! More »

Take Some Time Off, Spurs
While Tim Duncan justifiably receives all the credit for the Spurs advancement to the NBA Finals — which don't start for another week, by the way — Full Court NBA Blog points out that the guards have been pretty great too. That said, last night, the Jazz checked out plenty early; they looked eager to hurry up and get caught up on the "Big Love" reruns so they'll be ready for the Season 2 Premiere next month.

Could Be The Last Night For Your Jazz
Now that the Eastern Conference Finals are heating up — as much as anything post-Golden State in this playoffs has been able to "heat up" — the Western Conference can wrap up tonight, with San Antonio finishing up the Manu-ization of the NBA. There won't be as many Jazz fans to throw Blistex at Bruce Bowen this time, and that's for the best: That shit is addictive. More » -

The Spurs, And The Playoffs, Are All About The Flop
If you needed concrete proof why many NBA fans have been dreading seeing the Spurs in the NBA Finals, last night's win over the Jazz provided it. It was a succession of flops, plods, slaps, free throws and Manu Ginobili. We know some just call this winning basketball; we think it's sucking all the life out of a once-fascinating postseason.

As Deron Williams Becomes A Superstar...
Well, that was emphatic ... and just what this postseason needed. The Utah Jazz, back on their homecourt, busted out the whoopin' sticks on the San Antonio Spurs last night. Carlos Boozer (while not trying to stuff the basketball into Tim Duncan's rectal cavity) and Deron Williams had that pick-and-roll working like two other guys who used to play in Utah whose names I just can't remember. The final: Jazz 109, Spurs 83. More » -

A fear of the color blue is what we're counting on to tighten this series up. The attire of the fans in Salt Lake City is the focus of the AP article previewing Game Three of the Spurs/Jazz series.

A noisy light-blue background is what we're counting on to make this series interesting? Awesome. More » -

At this point, barring a massive surge from LeBron James or Deron Williams deciding to score 18 points in the fourth quarter of every game, that the last image of these playoffs is going to involve Baron Davis, not Tim Duncan or Tayshaun Prince. The Western conference finals started yesterday, and we couldn't help but notice the collective yawn. More » -

Thanks For The Memories (At Least The Ones We Could Stay Up Late Enough For)
We salute the Golden State Warriors for the ride they've taken us on, but after last night's once-again-convincing 100-87 Jazz victory, they're the first team to be eliminated from the conference semifinals. And the Warriors fans are rather Zen about the whole thing. More » -

In their their preview of the Suns-Spurs series, Free Darko, describing Stephen Jackson and the Golden State Warriors, wrote, "Stephen Jackson doesn't care because he has nothing to lose, and thus is invincible."

Wow, We Get Another One Of These Series, Apparently
So here's something no one could have expected: A second-round playoff series between Golden State and Utah that's destined to be thrilling, amazing to watch and go the full seven games. Utah won Game 1, but, as we watched the game early this morning while shaking off our Arcade Fire hangover, we were struck by how fluid the game was. These teams are a joy to behold; if you had the idea that the Jazz were just running the picket fence every time down the court, you're thinking of the wrong Jazz. Even the Golden State fans don't seem that upset. This is going to be another one of those series we don't want to see end. More » -

We were pleased to see former Illini Deron Williams and Dee Brown advance to the Western Conference semifinals with the Jazz's win over the Rockets on Saturday night, but it brought us no joy to see the likable and seemingly doomed Tracy McGrady fail once again to push his team out of the first round. Free Darko muses on McGrady's slow march of anguish. More » -

Look, There Was Another Game On Thursday Night
Lest we forget, in all the Warriors hub-bub, that another series took a fun turn last night, with the Jazz tying the Rockets 3-3 with a 94-82 win in Utah. The key Jazz star was Andrei Kirilenko, who shined late despite, you know, crying like a little girl earlier this series because he wasn't getting enough playing time. We could have done without this quote, though. More » -

Tracy McGrady Has His Alpha Dog Night
In the last three days, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard and, uh, Antawn Jamison have been swept out of the playoffs, and Kobe Bryant, Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson don't seem too far behind.
