EDITORIAL: JERRY'S JAZZ ON CUSP OF HISTORY
Wouldn't it be something if, after all those powerhouse years of Stockton to Malone, the Jazz team that brings an NBA title to Utah is made up of ragtag roll players who would rather miss a meal than miss a free throw?

EDITORIAL: 'FAMILY FIRST' IS FISHER'S GAME
From Day 1, veteran guard Derek Fisher was the perfect fit in a Utah Jazz uniform. At 33, Fisher's mature presence helped guide the young and untested Jazz to the NBA's Western Conference finals. Few Utahns will forget where they were the night Fisher entered the arena late and vaulted the Jazz to victory over the Golden State Warriors in overtime.

Other point guards lift Jazz to win
The much-discussed Chris Paul-Deron Williams matchup kind of fizzled Friday night at EnergySolutions Arena. Who cares? On this night, the Utah Jazz had Jason Hart and Ronnie Price to sizzle for them, and the pair of summer free-agent point-guard acquisitions made good on the promise the Jazz had somehow seen in them months ago.

This is the thing I could never understand about the Utah Jazz, they come so close and then throw it all away each time:

Blown opportunity - Jazz fall flat in 4th as Spurs keep home magic They committed 20 turnovers, they didn't get enough late-game stops and they watched the San Antonio Spurs hit one free throw after another down the stretch. That all added up to a recipe for disaster Friday night for the Jazz, who fell 104-98 in an ESPN-televised affair to the defending NBA champions - and who saw their losing streak in San Antonio extend to 20 in a row despite the absence of two-time NBA MVP Tim Duncan at sold-out AT&T Center.

Yes, it was a blowout.
More so than that, though, it was simply the realization of a victory - of any sort - that the Jazz seemed to savor so much.

Well, yet another chance at the finals, let's hope they do not throw it all away again.

Utah Jazz: Team looking to claim another division crown tonight It may not seem like much in the scheme of things, but don't for a second think either accomplishment is not held in high regard by the Jazz. Ref. https://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,695268398,00.html |
