Utah Jazz: Okur will miss tonight's game

Start Fes | 2:23 p.m. Oct. 30, 2009

Start Fes for a little confidence booster. The Jazz may drop this one if Memo doesn't play though. We have no outside shooting really.

Elcapitan | 2:59 p.m. Oct. 30, 2009

Just as well start Freshinko so we can find out what we have there. the Jazz need new beginnings as we all know, so lets look at the bench. I would like to see the tall men play more. We must rebuild with some tough minded inside players with the stamina and height to compete with out rivals. Right now, even a rank amatuer observer can see where we are weak...why dosen't management and coaching staff do somehting about it. Hmmmmmmm..just another average season with the same old tune. We call Boozer a starter, he would not even be hired by a lot of our rivals to sit on the bench. He is so limited in the agression department he could not play on a womans team.

To Elcapitian: Ask management why they spend so much on I can think of 3 players ( and no Boozer is not 1 of them) 2ND highest payroll in the NBA. Fans leave it up to management, coaching, fitness and wellness to make the best decisions for the team we decided to back. Seems they have drop the ball, or they know something we don't.

Zina | 6:11 p.m. Oct. 30, 2009

Bench the trainer.Same old garbage.People hurt.Spend more so you have more people.This will be the highest paid team in the NBA that did nothing.

Good. Let him rest, he deserves a break, lets watch a night of Fez and Kous against the Clops.

If we do not beat those losers, we have HUGE problems

todd from santa ana | 6:43 p.m. Oct. 30, 2009

actually I joke about it, but at least one thing the Clops do is a lot cheaper to go to Staple Center and Sterling has more interests in the lower income, and families than the corporate Fakers

Yeah!! | 7:15 p.m. Oct. 30, 2009

Go Jazz!

todd "great news for the holics" | 7:47 p.m. Oct. 30, 2009

Everyone of the 30 percent of 'sloanaholics"
are throwing a party tonight!

That is because as reported in NBA.com this afternoon "theyr'e man" "jer"

is about to receive another 2 year extension"

Jazz oldtimers that threaten to walk from support if theyr'e man leaves will be elated with the news...

the Mailman | 9:15 p.m. Oct. 30, 2009

Yeah good to see good ol' Jerry getting another well deserved contract extension.

How fitting they give him one now before they even know how the team will go this season.

Coach for life, regardless of performance.
Dont you wish your own job was like that?

Get cosy folks, cos it's gonna be another season(plus another couple more) of the same old same old.

Yaaaaaawwwwwn!!

Fesenko is Mark Eaton with offensive touch. Give me that young man for 2 weeks and I'll teach him to spread his wings like big Mark and permantly seal off the paint. Enjoy this young man Jazz fans. Koufos too, but at P. F. next to Fes.

re: Mailman | 11:13 a.m. Oct. 31, 2009

Regardless of performance????? Please name another coach in ANY sport that has consistantly gotten his teams to the playoff's, regardless of personel, injuries, etc.

The Jazz will NEVER attract a superstar player, we better hope we can hold on to Deron. I know it is hard to swallow for most of you message board coaches, but Sloan is the best coach the Jazz could hope for, we should be grateful we have him.
