Utah Jazz

Folks, the Jazz on the road "argument" has become a little overplayed and not only fans but sports media will be surprised at some of the stats i'm about to share.

Now lets begin with our Win/Loss before January and the additon of Kyle Korver. In the 1st half of the season Jazz won 6 games on the road and lost 13 games on the road. Since the addition of Korver some very significant road wins have been against teams like Boston, New Orleans, Houston, Washington, Denver and Phoenix. Also since the addition of Korver our road record is 10 wins/11 losses. That is a significant improvement considering some of the teams we did beat on the road. We beat most of the teams that count on the road this year. Here is a list of teams that count that we beat on the road this year. Boston, Detroit, Orlando, Houston, Denver, Washington, Phoenix and New Orleans.

These things being said our defensive strategy against teams like the Spurs and Lakers is the only thing that makes me nervous. The key to beating either the Spurs or Lakers is DEFENSE!!! And if I may say the Jazz have been palying very good D as of late.

The Jazz have the 3rd best statistical PG in the league, D Will. D Will is the best all around PG in the league in my opinion. 1 of the top 5 best PF, Boozer. 1 of top 10 Centers in the league, Memo Okur. 3 of the best 3 pt shooters, Memo, Korver and D Will. 3 of the feistiest defenders, Harpring, Kirilenko and Brewer. 2 great slashers, Kirilenko and Brewer. Millsap, Boozer and Memo bangin the boards. WE ARE A COMPLETE PACKAGE!!! If we keep the players we have, and pick up a solid backup PG in the offseason, (we should have kept Dee Brown, FYI he's an allstar in europe right now, the Utah Jazz could be the next Lakers, the next Bulls and get some repeat RINGS baby!!!

We all know we're always good at home. Here's some significant home losses we should be aware of. At home this year we lost to Houston, Boston and Lakers, among a few others that at this point in the season we don't need to worry about.

The KEY to the RING for the Jazz this year is DEFENSE. Especially against the Spurs and or the Lakers. They do that, they can win a ring. We have the best fans in the league and Energy Solutions Arena was crowned as the hardest arena to play at in the NBA. The Jazz CAN win on the road and have been since January. Keep in mind we have beaten most of the best teams on the road. FEAR the UTAH JAZZ!!!
