Utah Jazz schedule has breaks, bumps

oh boy oh boy!!!

> Utah's first-round game will be against
> the Clippers at Staples Center on Nov. 3.

First round of what? Did you mean "first road game" perhaps? Playoffs don't start until April, and I can't imagine the Clippers being in them.

October is too far away!

We are one guy away from being true contenders. Get a big who can play!!

Did anyone else but me notice that while the Jazz play the Lakers and Spurs only three times this year, two of the three games against each team are on the road?

The Jazz have the players they just don't have a coach who knows how to use AK in the offense. The pick and roll is dead in the NBA. Move on Sloan. It is 2008 not 1988. AK and Williams are awesome in the open court. If we ran more and used ALL our weapons it might be............

Another killer road schedule in April. Hope the boys have a few games in hand before that stretch. Maybe they will mature and have the Killer Instinct against inferior talent.

Hoping for the best.

Release the paranoia and think logically. Don't you think the NBA has better things to do than create ways to fix the Utah Jazz's regular-season schedule?

To "another player," Oh? Even the "run at all costs Phoenix, uses the P/R. Let me see, doesn't Phoenix have a new coach? The Jazz run when it is to their advantage and use thier other weapons when it is not. If you want street ball watch "and one" on TV. Go USA in the Olympics. Coach K has really molded the players into a team. Go for the GOLD!

Bread and butter baby! the basics are time tested and will always work. Just look at the 2004 olympics when greece used the pick and roll against the americans and destroyed us.

13 of the last 20 on the road...yikes

no Dwill cp3 national tv games! WTF Man the NBA needs to get a clue!

I wish the NBA would wake up and realize that we are not in the Pacific Time Zone. 8:30 is way to late to start a basketball game here, and we have 6 of them this year.

Wen game 2 of a double header is in the central time zone, the nba seems to be able to bump the games an hour earlier....

Oh, and more people back east would actually be able to see the games and not have tp stay up until 1:00 AM.

The 8:30pm games are being broadcast! You complain when they aren't broadcast and when they do and it's not the time you want.. you complain!

I'm sure the Laker & Spur/Jazz (3) game matchup is part of the efforts to FIX the outcome. The NBA is constantly trying to figure out how to keep the Utah Jazz from any chance of winning the NBA championship (through scheduling, referees, etc.) (in fact I'm sure there has been high level meetings about it)

I bet Kobe, D-Will & Boozer are arguing about it in Beijing in between games...

Seriously, get a life!

you are worried about the NBA trying to figure out how to keep the Jazz from winning the NBA Championship. They have been trying for how many years now? The Jazz do not have the team to win the NBA. Even Chicago could not win with out a good supporting cast for their star. What supporting cast do the Jazz have? Bunch of people making more money than their worth and never producing. Larry is pouring his money down a "Dry Hole."

from the VERY FIRST GAME is the only way the Jazz are going to last through April. As DasRipper says above, "13 of the last 20 on the road...yikes." The Jazz absolutely must CRUSH bottom-dwelling opponents from the get-go; there is no other way. I don't care if they get accused of running up a score by 50 points, "coasting" against (supposedly) weaker opponents is NEVER acceptable, and I've seen them do it just a few too many times, then get burned in the final minutes.

A lot of Jazz fans live in the Pacific Time Zone so stop your complaining and be happy we get to see the game.
Go JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!

Dwill is good, but CP3 is playing on another level. wake up and dont ne so bias man. Utah a small market and we don't need national TV?

It's amazing how many times when the Jazz play the Knicks in NY it's on a Sunday - does the league plan this? Why always on a Sunday!!!!!!!!!

To Dick of the NW: How come when AK is away from Sloan's offense he produces big numbers. Reason: All Sloan wants to do is run the 4 1 pick and roll. Doesn't involve anyone but Boozer and Williams in the offense. That's not coaching. Use your weapons and win championships. Play two man ball and mediocre defense and go home EVERY YEAR.
