Preview: Utah Jazz caught in an Oklahoma City Thunderstorm without an umbrella

My significant other suggested that I ask each of you to “tuna in” to the Utah Jazz’s upcoming contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. I don’t know what could have possibly possessed her to ask this of me, nor have I figured out what tuna could have to do with a basketball game of any […]

Are the Utah Jazz seriously about to luck into Darryn Peterson?

Look, as far as couch-bound talent evaluators go, I haven’t been the most pro-Peterson scout during his freshman season at Kansas.
