Recently, the Utah Jazz were on a six game winning streak. They had beaten Minnesota, Golden State, LA Lakers, Oklahoma City, Sacramento, and Denver. They were on a roll! Unfortunately, in a valiant effort, they lost in quadruple overtime to the Atlanta Hawks. Personally, I dont believe it counts as a loss. The Jazz showed how great of a team they are, and they never gave up. Sure, they had 4 times to make the game winning shot, but regardless of what happened when they missed those final shots, they never gave up.

The Future of the Utah Jazz

The shortened NBA season is going to feel a lot longer for the Utah Jazz if the early season poor performance is any indication of the teams abilities. With fewer than five games under their belt, the Jazz look more like helpless victims walking through a cattle shoot than a basketball team. Utah (1-3) is giving up more points per game than any other team in the league. They’re also second in the league in point differential, losing by over 13 points a night on average. And if the collective defense of Utah isn’t bad enough, their offensive numbers aren’t very high either .

1. How are the Utah Jazz going to do this season? Will they make the playoffs? If so, how far will they go?

- “ESPN analysts have the Jazz finishing worse than they did last season, with a record of 47-35. They predicted this finish after the Utah Jazz drafted Gordon Hayward and lost Boozer, Korver, and Matthews, but before they picked up Al Jefferson and Raja Bell.” These key additions may have those analysts eating their words.

    In the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Utah Jazz was paired up with the Denver Nuggets. Immediately after the seeding came out, many critics and even fans of the Jazz, counted them out. With the Jazz having a poor record playing Denver, many thought that the Nuggets would sweep the series, with no contest from the Jazz. With Mehmet Okur and Andrei Kirilenko also out due to injuries, the Jazz were considered to not stand a chance.
 

(Nene, Kenyon Martin and Chris Andersen) will be a bit too much for the Jazz – and I didn’t even mention the fact that the Nuggets have the best player on either team in small forward Carmelo Anthony.

The Utah Jazz have been a hot topic this NBA season. Their staggering victories against Dallas, Portland, Denver and the Los Angeles Clippers have ranked them second in TV ratings in the NBA. http://www.nba.com/jazz/news/031010_jazz_tv_ratings.html The team is led by Deron Williams, C.J. Miles and Carlos Boozer. The team scored the highest amount of points in the season over the Houston Rockets at a whopping 133-110. The Utah Jazz are definately stepping up their game. The clip below highlights the victory over the Rockets. The Jazz were draining three point shots, one right after another. Go Jazz!

As I went online to the Utah Jazz website to look at their TV schedule I noticed they do not have a single game on the local channel, KJZZ. This didn’t happen all of a sudden because in previous seasons there were fewer games on KJZZ each year. As a loyal Jazz fan I am not able to watch any games unless my family gets a subscription with a cable company due to the fact that my the Jazz have almost all of their games on FSN Utah.

The good thing about the games going onto FSN is that the Jazz will get more money so that they can compete financially with other teams in the NBA. This would make it better for us fans to have a team that can pay better players which could help us win more games.

Chris Baum, the Jazz's senior vice president of broadcasting and corporate sales said,

"It gives us a consistent home for Jazz games for our fans, which is important for us."

 There have been rumors going around that the legendary Jazz player Jeff Hornacek (whose number "14" jersey is retired in the rafters at the Energy Solutions Arena) is moving back from Arizona to Salt Lake City. When I first heard this, I got excited because I thought that he might send his kids to Judge. Nevertheless, last week while I was going to a class, I saw Jeff and his wife in the main office talking to some of the faculty. My only question was, why was he moving back all of the sudden?

There have also been some other rumors that the current head coach of the Jazz, Jerry Sloan, is getting ready to retire. I am not surprised by this rumor, Mr. Sloan has been coaching this team for a long long time. I would understand with his age and health that he can't go much longer.

Winning Sports Teams Improve Your Life

Boston Globe sports writer Drake Bennet  has some good news for all sports fans-when your team wins, you may be getting a return on all that money you spent on sporting tickets, apparel, and betting.  According to a recent study by economist Michael Davis and psychologist Christian End, when your city's sports team wins, your morale is raised, as well as your personal income, sometimes by $120.
    As a Utah Jazz fan, I can testify to higher morale and certainly a more confident attitude when our home team is playing well.  Bennet, a resident in the recently athletically successful Boston, lists many other benefits of having a successful sports scene-citizens feel more athletic, sexy, spontaneous, confident.  They are willing to "work longer hours, take bigger risks, and shop more avidly" cites blogger Tyler Cowen.  The city's economy gets a boost as well.  When people are willing to spend more and conversely make more money, the local economy improves. 
    So for the sake of our local economy and our wallets, cheer for the Jazz!
