Josh Howard News

Who is crazy? Amar is crazy. Here's a chart that shows the individual PERs by playing time for our team this past year.

It is time to look to next season, with hopes for an even more successful one. But a good team must have a good starting five, so here is my prediction of the Jazz starters for next season.

The toughness of our Jazz team last year has been questioned several times. Whether it's JJ Barea bumping Hayward at the FT line, or Dirk smacking the ball out of the hands of Derrick Favors , besides Earl Watson our team seemed to be a little soft.

Experience seems to continuously live at odds against potential. Eventually the two meet in the middle and you are in your peak physical and seasoned years.

Wow, that was fast. Just like that, the 2011- 2012 NBA season was over in an instant.

The big news released yesterday was that Derrick Favors and Gordon Hayward made the USA Select team.

From replacing a legendary coach to losing his best asset only days after assuming his new job and being called unprofessional by a subordinate, Ty Corbin has experienced an incredible journey as the Jazz head coach .

I've been so jealous of the other SLC Dunkers this week. Clark got the pre-game 4 and post-game 4 Downbeats.

Okay, so the playoffs didn't go so well; and for the season the Jazz had some good players and some bad players.

Its now been over a full day since the Jazz season ended, has it hit anyone yet? It hasn't hit me yet.

A furious finish to the end of the season secured a spot in the playoffs for the Utah Jazz, but now a four game sweep at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs has this team readying for the offseason.

What to say about last night? This isn't the appropriate space for an entire recap of the game so here are a few thoughts.

The Utah Jazz will start their big lineup with second-year pro Derrick Favors against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 as they look to avoid a sweep Monday night.

Here is your 2012 NBA Playoffs schedule and open thread for Monday's action. Before we get to that, here's a recap of stuff we've published on the site today, so you don't need to scroll down.

To get things started, I asked him a few questions, and his first answers are . Round two of his answers to my questions are here , and round two of my answers can be found over I think Hayward is probably your best perimeter defender, and I think putting him on Tony was a solid move.

Since all the rules changes in the post-Uglyball era , this has become a guards league.

This is an unlikely trade idea but I feel Billy King is a creative GM and can be unconventional therefore i'll post it in the hope that this germ of an idea is spread and thus enacted.
