Summary

Deseretnews.com had so much fun getting an overhaul I decided to give our Jazz blog a makeover. Here's the kind of fun we're having at Jazzland.

More Coverage
  • High-flying Jazz beat Memphis

This is how rough it's been for New Orleans: The Jazz have won as many on the road (two) as the Hornets have at home.

Jazz at Thunder, Tuesday, 6 p.m., ROOT

While Utah is off gallivanting around Memphis and New Orleans, the Thunder are resting, relaxing and licking their chops.

Jazz vs. Wizards, Friday, 7 p.m., ROOT

The five-win Wiz are so bad their fans cheered for Jeremy Lin last week. Oh wait. The entire LINBA did.

Jazz at Rockets, Sunday, 5 p.m., ROOT

The Post-Yao Ming Dynasty has turned out surprisingly well for the Rockets, who've surprised everyone this side of, well, Houston.

WHO'S HOT/NOT

Hot: Raja Bell

Had double figures in two of three games and hit 3-pointers in 13 straight coming into Sunday's contest. Yes, really.

Not: Alec Burks

Rookie's been M.I.A. — but not forgotten, coach promises. Hadn't played in four straight prior to Sunday.

THE BIG STAT

.500: The Jazz have a perfect record — 5-0 prior to Sunday — when they hit at least 50 percent of their field-goal attempts. Before playing Memphis, Utah was just 8-11 when missing more than half of its shots.
