Utah Jazz should select a point guard first in the 2013 NBA Draft
It’s no secret — the Utah Jazz need a point guard who can lead their talented, young team. The current point guard, Mo Williams, has had injury problems and doesn’t distribute the ball or play defense as well as he could, and the current point guard backups (Earl Watson and Jamaal Tinsley) aren’t offensively gifted scoring-wise (though they both distribute the ball pretty...

The Utah Jazz Gave Their Season Ticket Holders This Jazzy Waffle Iron

Sure, their team has never won a championship, but they’ve been a perennial playoff team regardless of personnel, appearing in the postseason in 25 of the last 29 seasons. Right now the Jazz are tied for sixth in a deep Western Conference, even though no one on the roster has ever played in an All-Star Game and Jamaal Tinsley starts at point...

Jamaal Tinsley Gets His Rucker Park On vs Wizards, Lakers
Jamaal Tinsley does not have the type of freakish physical ability that is commonly referred to as “NBA athleticism.” He didn’t have it when he was young and he certainly doesn’t have it now that he’s 34. What Jamaal Tinsley has is skills. The type of skills that earned him a nickname at New York City’s famed Holcombe Rucker Park. To earn any nickname at the Rucker...

Eric Gordon Commissions A Debut
On Saturday night, Eric Gordon made his season debut in impressive fashion, going for 24 points (5 of 13 FG, 12 of 14 FT), including 2 threes, plus 7 assists and 2 steals. As of early Monday morning, he is only 40% owned in Yahoo! leagues. I know he has been plagued by injuries since joining New Orleans, but I’m hopeful his previous upward trajectory will continue. I would love...

Pacers stumble against Spurs in respectable outing
I won't lie. I thought the Indiana Pacers were going to embarrass themselves again against the San Antonio Spurs, but they actually put up a respectable effort and led by 17 points before the inevitable comeback, ending with a 104-97 loss.
A loss is a loss but at least it showed that the Pacers can compete with one of the best and most efficient teams in the league at both...

Player of the Week: Weeks 17 and 18
I’m going to be completely honest with you. 5 games ago, I didn’t think we were going to make the playoffs. In a matter of fact, after we beat the Lakers and Thunder back to back, there were three separate times I thought this season was over (Kings home loss, Suns home loss, back to back losses in New Orleans and Memphis). But boy was I wrong. Not only did the Jazz make the...
