2007-08 Utah Jazz

Utah proved to be a solid team when they made it to Western Conference Finals last Season.  Fans can thank Deron Williams, who showed incredible performance this season, and will continue to improve into the next.  In fact, the Utah frontline looks unstoppable next season, led by Carlos Boozer and Mehemet Okur.  Also adding to Utah’s strength is rookie Paul Mislap, whose numbers continue to steadily increase.  On the opposite end, Andrei Kirilenko needs to raise his average and live up to his superstar forward salary. Derek Fisher had incredible playoff moments, but his shooting needs to improve  in the coming season as well. Utah is keeping their top players coming into ’07-08, which should make them a force in the West for a bit.

Previous Seasons

Utah head coach Jerry Sloan is at it again. The NBA sideline veteran is working his magic on a group of youngsters, transforming the Jazz into playoff contenders. With first-round draft pick Deron Williams and the versatile Andrei Kirilenko, Utah has laid down the foundation for future success. Veterans Matt Harpring and Mehmet Okur are looking to provide stability, while the young players mature. Get your Jazz tickets today and hold on for what could be a ride of lifetime.

The Utah Jazz, playing in a state that has no Jazz history whatsoever, owe their unlikely moniker to their birth in the city of New Orleans. In 1974, the Jazz hit New Orleans for their first season by showcasing the talent of local Louisiana product “Pistol” Pete Maravich. Maravich came out of LSU, where he dazzled fans with his wide open style of play and fantastic shooting ability. Maravich was the ultimate showman, and although the New Orleans Jazz were the worst team in the league they may have been the most entertaining as Maravich delighted Jazz ticket holders with fancy passing, long range shots, and his signature dirty socks. The Jazz were miserable in New Orleans, never posting a winning season. Despite the terrible records, New Orleans fans loved Maravich and were outraged when the franchise packed up and moved to Utah for the 1979-80 season.

Things didn’t get much better in Utah for the first few years. Jazz ticket holders waited until 1984 for their first opportunity to buy NBA Playoff tickets. A 45-37 record behind the shooting of Adrian Dantley gave the Jazz a Midwest Division title and their first post-season berth. Dantley put up 30.6 points per game in winning the NBA scoring title, while teammate Mark Eaton led the league in blocked shots and Rickey Green was the best thief in the NBA. The first playoff series win in Jazz history came against the Denver Nuggets that year, but reality set in with a second round loss to the Phoenix Suns. That 1984 playoff run was the start of good things for the Utah Jazz though, as the team made the playoffs every year from 1984 to 2003, aided by the drafting of John Stockton out of Gonzaga in 1984 and Karl Malone in 1985. Stockton and Malone became the nucleus of a team that dominated the division and carried the Utah Jazz to the NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998. Despite having two of the best players in the league though, the Jazz fell short of an NBA Championship, losing to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in consecutive years.
