The 10-man rotation, starring some crass Jazz fans

By J.E. Skeets


A look around the league and the web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance. That's for you, dear reader, to figure out.

C: Bleacher Report, via Deadspin. Do the Jazz have some of the most disgusting fans in the NBA?
PF: ODC. "You see me with my Marbury posture / I don't play ball, I point-guard every dollar." Sports and lyrics.
SF: Boston Herald. Move down Sam Cassell; Eddie House might be taking a few of your 0-fer-whatever minutes.
SG: 3 Shades of Blue. An excellent convo with David Sparks, the man behind that People's Statistics Project.
PG: Don Chavez. Dear Buzz Bissinger, I'm sorry for linking to this. Sincerely, The Internet.
6th: The Wages Of Wins Journal. Stats say the All-Rookie Second Team is "better" than the First.
7th: CelticsBlog.com. A seven step guide for dealing with the road woes the Celtics have been having lately.
8th: Odenized. Charles Barkley thinks Stan Van Gundy looks like Ron Jeremy.
9th: Sports Media Watch. NBA Playoff games were the two highest rated shows on cable last week. Nice.
10th: T. Jose Caldeford. Interesting little stat: Of the 16 playoff teams, only one team had nine players that played at least 30% of the team's playoff minutes. Any guesses who it was?

    "It's a classless, immature grown man who represents the majority of Utah fans." It's always refreshing to read an unbiased, fact-based article. I'm looking to the follow-up in which it's revealed that all Laker fans are movie stars.

    since the comments over on bleacher report have degenerated, i'll comment here. i'm a jazz fan:
    1. that guy who held his hand over his eye is a scumbag who deserves some kind of horrible punishment.
    2. anyone who chants "cancer" at derek fisher deserves to get cancer. it's a little weird that his daughter still visits the new york doctors every two months (per a recent actual news article), but her primary physician is now in l.a. and they are experts in the field.
    3. of all the times to not pull the "mormons suck" card, this is it, considering the vast majority of active mormons stayed away from the game on sunday. come on people, can't blame mormons for this one.

    Having said all of that, I'd put the average Jazz fan at the arena up against any other fans in the country when it comes to class. The only time I've actually had to tell someone at a game to tone it down was when the drunk Knicks fan at MSG kept throwing F bombs about the Jazz and all of the Mormons (I'm sure all of the young children in our section were thrilled), whereas I've never even heard anything remotely racist, offensive, or vulgar in the dozens of Jazz games I've attended (unless you find "Javie sucks" offensive).
    But please, let's condemn an entire fan base.

    Why's there a cardboard cutout of a turkey in the top center of this shot? Oh, my mistake, that's AK47. Could've sworn that was a wild turkey.
