Hi, my name is Amar. I'm a guy in my 30s who lives in the midwest. And I'm a basketball fan. And I watch the Utah Jazz. I don't watch the Jazz because of some regional obligation to do so. I don't...
Often we fans are super quick to get happy and super quick to get upset. I know this is clearly the case for me at times, and I want to work on it. As a sports fan we pray and hope for victory, and...
More than any other player on the Jazz, Alec Burks has the potential to become an elite scorer. But there's a lot of work that needs to happen first.
There's really no doubt about it, unless you are the Los Angeles Lakers or Miami Heat -- you are envious of the Utah Jazz because we have some amazing bigs. We have quality. We have quantity. We...

Enes Kanter showed up to training camp having progressed more than most fans expected, more then the coaches expected, and the front office expected. And so what he will be this year becomes a mystery ... a truly exciting mystery.
The Inhumanity and Errors of Statistics
Marvin Williams has been a pretty average player in his seven year career. And so that's what we should expect him to be with the Jazz this year. Average. Which is okay.
I really like Earl Watson and Jamaal Tinsley. Both wound up gaining my appreciation and respect far more than I had initially expected. Their careers are just about over now, but I'm glad they're winding it all up with the Jazz.
I'm not sure Mo's the right PG for our team. And yes: his style makes me a bit nervous as well. And so I continue looking at a unique season to anticipate. There's a lot to be excited for, hopeful for, and nervous for. Mo's part of it all.
After two years Jeremy Evans remains the guy you can't pin down. His stats are insane, yet nobody believes he can sustain them given more playing time. I hope he gets the chance to prove the naysayers wrong.
Derrick Favors is the great hope for Utah Jazz fans. A franchise first: a big man who excels and dominates on both ends of the court. The present and the future belong to him.
