A Jazz Theme

The Utah Jazz have been one of the more consistent teams in the Northwest division over the course of the last decade or so.

As I see things, it all starts up top with Jerry Sloan, their Hall of Fame head coach.

Jerry has been at the helm for over 20 years and it`s a good thing that the Jazz organization re-uped his contract.

He`s an intense, gritty hard nosed coach that demands much from his players and you know what - they respond!



Dave and I thought that it was only fitting to catch up with our pal, Spencer Hall, proprietor of Salt City Hoops and a proud member of the ESPN True Hoop Network to chat all things Jazz related.

Spencer shared his thoughts on the impact of Jerry Sloan, the recent play of Carlos Boozer and the retirement of Matt Harpring AKA Little Jerry.

Check it out!

The NBA Breakdown Weekly Recap #2

The NBA Breakdown provides their thoughts on stories from around the league.

LBJ wants the NBA to retire Jordan`s #23 across the league and never to be worn by another player. What do you think?

Speaking of King James - How do you think he`ll fare as a football player? He thinks he can do it.

What the heck is going on with the Golden State Warriors!?! Does Don Nelson have control of this team?

What do you think of Brandon Jennings and his 55 point performance? Was he a steal at the #10 pick?

Dave and I weigh in with our own thoughts and as you`d expect, the sparks were flying.
