Ever wonder why the Jazz are so tough at home?

Utah also has the softest backboards in the league ... which is why you see a lot of missed layups in SLC by the road team.

Although it backfires against the Spurs because it makes Duncan's bank shot easier

Ever remember how lame your jersey's were in 1980's & 1990's. (BTW Cleveland had the same color jersey's as the Jazz).

Please. Our '90s uniforms were dope. Just look at that paint-splotch motif. That's cutting-edge.



Meanwhile, the '90s Jazz looked like Busch Light cans. Lame.

I hate the Jazz. It's a boring team full of a bunch of white guys, and their colors are terrible.

Well if they weren't terrible maybe they wouldn't need so many white guys

The reason is because they do not play on Sundays.

Since the NBA controls the Thursday games, and because of Utah's geographical location, the Jazz get most Eastern Conference teams on Saturdays as they are finishing up a West coast trip. Most West coast trips end on weekends, and since Utah doesn't play on Sundays, they catch these teams off of back to backs on their last games of trips.

Actually, it's because Mormons view Sunday as a day for doing gods work and don't view work or recreation as being something that should be done on a Sunday. I'm sure the league does it out of respect due to their religious beliefs.

The only time you'll see the Jazz play a home game on a Sunday is during the NBA Playoffs.

the al ude, the salty air, the mormons sitting hand in hand with the klan (neither of them like black folk all that much).....its kind of tough to focus when everyone in the front row, as well as their 5 wives are carrying nooses.

plus, when things are going against them, they simply turn out the arena lights to kill the road team's momentum....just like they did against the Spurs.

They're tough at home because or their rabid ass fans and that they literally get away with everything, over the backs,travels, hacks, hold and etc. Quite the opposite when they play on the road, they're not too dominant when they cant break every rule on the book. Only Boston gets away with more on both sides of the Ball than the Jazz playing in Utah. The thing with the celts tho, they get away with that in Boston and on the Road,the only team in the NBA that has home court advantage when they're Home or Away.
