With quality wins in Houston and Denver, this streak is as legit as the Spurs winning the Championship last season. Most of the credit goes to Deron Williams. He is just on a tear since finding out he wasn't selected on the all-star game. Lets go for 11 straight tonight --- Go Jazz

I love a good boxing match, that's why I bought ring side seats for tomorrows match against Matt Harpring and Ron Artest.

Just look for me. I'll be the one sitting next to the hot babe holding "The Price is Right" sign as Slown subs Hart in for Williams.

I sure hope Slown gets over his hart problems before his ability to coach this team comes into serious question

The D-League plays H.O.R.S.E. during All Star Weekend? That league is sounding better and better. Why doesn't the NBA do this?

The Jazz can compete with anyone in the west. No doubt about it. Keep the national media away. They will never give the Jazz the respect they deserve. But at the same time, it allows the Jazz to sneak up on the "powerhouses" in the west. Also thanks to Philly again for helping us move up the ranks. They are our true farm system!

Funny, sloan tells the paper that they need to get smarter and tougher YET HE PUTS IN HART.

Jerry, you are a washed up has been. Heaven forbid you compliment your team on an outstanding win streak or play proper matchups . . .

Look at Jazz's schedule for the next 10 games: Sacremento, Chicago, Seattle, Golden States, Clippers, Atlanta, Minnesota, Detroit, New Orlean, and Memphis. Jazz could win the first 7 games without problem. Even Detroit and New Orlean is beatable for the Jazz. If the players keep their concentration, Jazz can win 20 games in a row.

Go Jazz!

The only team that can stop the Jazz are the Jazz? What kinds of comments are those? Let me see, Dirk, TD, Shaq, Kobe, Nash, Yao, Baron, TG, Pau, Parker, AI, Melo, CP, BRoy, yep good thing there are no players in the west to stop the Jazz. The Jazz have one all-star and he does not start. It is incredible what Jerry Sloan (not to forget LMH and KOC) has done for this franchise. A small market that is lucky to even be in the NBA. A market that will never be able to land a top free agent no matter who the coach is. The only one was a guy they had to almost steal from the Cavs who was a second round pick. Heck, Derek Fischer did not even want to play here and he is a nobody. The Jazz have built from the draft and trades to have one losing season since the 80's! What a great franchise this is!

To sloan hater: Yeah, it doesn't make sense for Sloan to tell the team how they can continue to improve.

He should tell them how good they are.

Tell them they are the best, both as individuals at each of their positions and as a team.

Tell them other teams cower in their presence.

Tell them they have reached their potential, there's no more room for improvement because they have arrived!

Tell them they are perfect in every way, every one of them is an all-star and this team will go down in history as the best ever in the NBA.

Or, wait, maybe he could leave all that to the fans and actually continue to coach this team and try to help them become even better. Maybe he could help them be aware of their weak areas so they know how to improve.

In fact, now that I think about it, that's probably part of the reason LHM pays Sloan to coach the team instead of paying fans to do it.

Hey sloan hater,
while I agree with playing price over hart, what is wrong with a guy that demands the most out of his team and players. I like that fact the man points out to his players and team that they are fortunate enough to have the talent and abiltiy to play a game at a level many of us only dream of. If you or I show up to work and not do our job we get fired. God forbid these guys are held to a standard like your everyday employee is.

I think any win streak is a legit one, unless you play in the lousy eastern conference. The jazz have fallen to the queens in there losing streak, but after killing denver. I think they are ready.

Streak Ends | 10:24 a.m. Feb. 8, 2008
I hate to say it, because Sacramento is very beatable, but the Jazz is giong to lose tonight. The Kings just happen to be one of those teams that cause the Jazz big problems. The streak ends tonight, it is inevitable.

You are obviously a blind sloan lover. All talk and no substance to your replies.
You are putting words into my mouth I didn't even say.
Please explain to me how keeping hart in the line up is "showing them how to be better"- your words.
