Background - Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz began their playing days in New Orleans in 1974 where the name the Jazz makes much more sense. Those early teams tried to make a splash with a local hero, Pete Maravich, who was a scoring sensation but rarely translating his highlight-reel play with wins. The team suffered through nine straight losing seasons to begin their professional history.
It was not until the Maravich were a couple of years behind the team, that the front office made some progress. In the team's fifth season in Salt Lake City in 1984 the Utah Jazz finally made it to the playoffs. Those early playoff teams were led by Adrian Dantley, but the eighties from 1986 on served as the training ground for one of the best player combos ever in the NBA. John Stockton had been drafted in 1984 and Karl Malone was drafted in 1985.
Though the two played wonderfully in the beginning together and the Utah Jazz had one of the most formidable defensive players in the league in the giant Mark Eaton, the team was too young to overcome the more experienced Western Conference teams of the day. The nineties opened with the duo constantly set to breakout and the Utah Jazz ready to bring the NBA Finals to the EnergySolutions Arena. Jerry Sloan would take as coach and by the late nineties the Jazz were ready.
The Jazz, led by Malone and Stockton, were deep with players like Jeff Hornacek, Byron Russell, Antoine Carr, Greg Ostertag, Howard Eisley, and Shandon Anderson. The team met the Chicago Bulls twice, in 1997 and 1998, in the Finals, but could not stop the Bulls from completing their second three peat. The team is credited with being the toughest finals match up during the six championships for Chicago.
The Jazz had aged and soon began to lose the parts that had made them a contender for so long. By 2003, the team was completely reborn. Players like Andrei Kirilenko and Matt Harping went from role players to impact players. The addition of Deron Williams in 2005 and Carlos Boozer cemented the team in the postseason for the next few seasons.

2008-09 Midseason Update
|
EnergySolutions Arena was supposed to be a place for home court advantage basketball during the playoffs. However, point guard Deron Williams, forward Andrei Kirilenko, and power forward Carlos Boozer were all stricken with an injury bug. Still, the Jazz have a chance to make the postseason with a 27-22 record and Paul Millsap coming on strong to replace Boozer.
The team has a chance to turn things around and pick up a lower seed in the Western Conference, but that means Williams has to get healthy. When he is on the court at full strength the Jazz are a team that can score tons of points. He has averaged over 10 assists despite fighting a leg injury since the start of the regular season schedule. Mehmet Okur, Ronnie Brewer, and many other valuable bench players have made Jazz tickets worth it while the team ahs limped through the first half of the season.
Utah will need to either kick up the scoring or improve its defense. Given the personnel, it is much more likely the club will simply start hitting more threes and bury teams from behind the arc. The remaining 33 games will a test of the team's toughness, but this is a Jerry Sloan team so they should come out fine and perhaps end up with the eighth seed in the postseason.
