By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) Kobe Bryant scored 31 points, passed for four assists and had four steals as the L.A. Lakers defeated the Utah Jazz 107-96 to win their first round series four games to one. Bryant averaged 27.4 ppg, 5.6 apg, 5.0 rpg and 2.4 spg versus the Jazz while shooting .466 from the field, .353 from three point range and .897 from the free throw line; his field goal percentage took a hit after his 5-24 outing in game three but that was an inexplicable aberration and it seems likely that by the time the Lakers emerge as the Western Conference champions he will push his scoring average closer to 30 ppg and elevate his field goal percentage to near the .500 mark: the Lakers' loss in last year's Finals overshadowed how remarkably productive and efficient Bryant had been v...   [read the full post]

By Carter . Western Conference Quarterfinals Game Two: Blazers 107-103 Rockets Game Two: Lakers 119-109 Jazz The Lakers are 3-7 in their last 10 regular season games at the Energy Solutions Arena. This leads me to believe that the Jazz could take at least one at home over the next two in Salt Lake City.

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) The L.A. Lakers built a 62-40 halftime lead en route to a 113-100 game one victory over the Utah Jazz but L.A. Coach Phil Jackson was not impressed by his team's performance. According to Mike Bresnahan of the L.A. Times, "15? Not like that" is what Jackson wrote on the whiteboard in the locker room after the game, referring to the number of additional wins the team needs to capture the NBA title. Utah's 46-38 rebounding advantage--including a 20-7 margin on the offensive glass--and the fact that the Jazz pulled within 72-63 less than nine minutes into the third quarter were the two main reasons for Jackson's displeasure.   [read the full post]

By Akshay Madhavan Utah Jazz They were an early season dark horse to go very far in the playoffs, but they haven't been able to replicate last season's performance in the regular season and doing so in the playoffs (where they took the San Antonio Spurs to seven games in Round 2) will be even harder. Dallas Maver...

After Pryz chased down Carlos, Boozer talked back to him but he took it for the most part. I wished we could have seen some emotion coming from him and retaliate, not physically, but show some passion. Maybe there's too much going on right now for him. ...

By Kelly Dwyer 13. Phoenix Suns - Does that feel good? Beno Udrih? 21. Milwaukee Bucks - Detroit Pistons? Chicago Bulls? You are lucky, lucky sons of beestings. Choose either Michael Redd or Andrew Bogut to stay healthy, and the Bucks are in the playoffs comfortably.

Larry H. Miller, the car sales mogul who turned the Utah Jazz into one of the NBA's most stable teams, died from complications of Type 2 diabetes. He was 64. In 1985, Miller bought a 50 percent share of the Jazz. He bought the rest of the team a year ...

By Kraig Williams After making the aforementioned Kyle Korver trade last year, the Jazz went on a tear through the NBA and were arguably the second-best team in the Western Conference before running into Kobe Bryant in the second round of the playoffs.

Last March Nowitzki tangled with Andrei Kirilenko under the basket and drew a Flagrant-1 foul when Kirilenko was slammed to the court on his back. Friday night, forward Matt Harpring irritated Nowitzki to the point that the 7-footer retaliated — he seemed to contest the intentionality —...

If you haven't seen this yet, you have to watch the highlights of Miami's 130-129 OT win over the Warriors. Dwyane Wade was the hero, but Michael Beasley, Udonis Haslem, and Chris Quinn all made HUGE game-saving plays. Jamal Crawford scored 40. The Warriors -- in a real funk now -- made all kind...

By J.E. Skeets Key Players Lost: Jason Hart (trade, Clippers), Dee Brown (free agent, Wizards) C.J. Miles can score. Ronnie Price can score. Kirilenko can do … other things. Paul Millsap is an underrated interior offensive presence. Brevin Knight is wily. Wily!

By Tom Ziller And, as much as it pains me to say (we don't like the Jazz in Sacramento), I think this might be Utah's best chance at supremacy. Arguably, Utah was among the West's three best teams last season, with L.A. and New Orleans. And all three of those squads should be better this year, including the Jazz...

By Joe Willett The deal works well for Millsap because he is a good player that gets is hidden because of Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur. As for the Jazz, they would have a great scoring option for Derron Williams which would open up the floor for him and Boozer to have more time and they could have a strong trio...

By noreply@blogger.com (David Friedman) Dirk Nowitzki seemingly received the 2007 MVP in a broom closet at an undisclosed location after his Dallas Mavericks were bounced out of the first round of the playoffs. We just saw the 2005 and 2006 MVP, Steve Nash, make Tony Parker look like the greatest point guard in the history of the NB...

By David Friedman During New Orleans' 108-96 win over Golden State, ABC ran a graphic that showed how well the top nine teams in the West have performed against each other this year. Only three of those teams have winning records overall against the group: the Utah Jazz (15-9), the New Orleans Hornets (17-10...

By Ben Parker The Utah Jazz are one of the most improving teams over the last few years. They lose John Stockton and Karl Malone, and within a few years, they have Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer to replace them, with a deep bench, and a 7 foot Turk named Mehmet Okur who can shoot the rock from 3-point range. T...

By David Friedman After Bynum got injured, the "experts" wrote off the Lakers for the second time this season, saying that in the tough West the Lakers would struggle to make the playoffs. Instead, Bryant shouldered more of the offensive load and the Lakers went 5-5 in the first 10 games that Bynum missed. That mark included losses to Phoenix, San Antonio, Dallas and Detroit, the latter three on the road. Bryant averaged 35.3 ppg and 8.8 rpg while shooting .558 from the field in the last six games of that stretch, during which the Lakers went 3-3, including a road win in Toronto when Bryant scored 46 points and a one point loss in Detroit when Bryant scored 39 points. Despite being without Bynum for those 10 games the Lakers still had a 30-16 record, the sixth best mark i...   [read the full post]

By Jared Wright What more can you really say? The San Antonio Spurs trio of Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, and Tim Duncan kept themselves to 60 points, which is at the lower end of their spectrum. And the Spurs still easily defeated the Utah Jazz 105-96 in yet another game where the final score just doesn't demo...

By Jared Wright If the Jazz want to look for a bright spot, it is that Carlos Boozer proved capable of exploding offensively even when playing San Antonio's unforgiving defense. Boozer had 33 points and 15 boards and with Deron Williams' 26 points and 10 dishes, the Jazz's heavy lifters did their work. Paul...

Every once in a while, we need a warm, fuzzy feelgood story in sports. Derek Fisher of the Utah Jazz provided us with one on Wednesday.

Even shorthanded, the Utah Jazz outran the Golden State Warriors.

The Utah Jazz have homecourt advantage in the second round of the playoffs and very little time to celebrate getting it. The second round, and the Golden State Warriors, will come at them quickly.

Carlos Boozer had 22 points and 12 rebounds, and the Utah Jazz held Houston without a field goal for 10 minutes in the second half and beat the Rockets 8167.
