Mavs
vs Jazz
7/19/05 - Day 4
i went
to the game with my friend j-mart, a former co-worker. we have free
tickets we got for being season ticket holders, so i met him there.
the game was close and tied with a little over 2 minutes left, but we
couldn't score and the mavericks outlasted us to win. who cares, the
game doesn't matter.
as i was going in, the jazz announcer was right behind me. he shook
the ushers hand, so i reached mine out and shook his too. i had my friend
j-mart take a picture, which can be seen below. it would have been better
with the flash, but it was good anyways.

Hawks
vs Jazz
7/15/05 - Day 1
well, it
was fun to see the jazz (kind of the jazz) again, it's been about 3
months now since the last jazz game.. there are a few things i didn't
like about the game.. first - the lighting at SLCC
sucks and most of the pictures are slightly blurry. the delta center
has nice lighting. second - we had to drive to get
there. living less than about 2000 feet from the delta center's doors,
it's been nice not having to deal with traffic and parking.. i guess
it wasn't too bad..
i'll leave the reviewing of the game up to the boards.. i thought Dwill
played good for his first game as a jazzman and he should only get better..
he had a few mistakes that turned into dunks and could have played better,
but his D looked good i thought. the season should be fun having him.
not sure if i'll go to anymore games, but if i do, i'll post pictures
of those too. enjoy..

all of the pictures I took of jazz dancers throughout
last season's 41 games (plus 2 preseason). no particular order, they

James and Utes Cheerleading Team Timeout/Halftime Party
a friend i used to work with is a cheerleader for the Utes. as i am a season ticket holder and went to every game last season, i noticed him cheerleading when i was taking pictures for the team. i haven't talked to him since before this, so i have created a picture gallery for him to see his pictures. for everyone else, enjoy this jazzcrap!
(The Rest of the Images Here Are No Longer Online)
Jazzcrap Slakis 2004-05 Year In Review - well everyone, the season of home games is now over. i went to all 41 home games, that's a lot of basketball. see a section below for more stats on that. where should i start with this, i have no idea where to start.. i guess i'll start by thanking everyone.
to the jazz players and organization - thanks the the fun, yet losing season. i got the meet the players a couple of times which is something i'll never forget.. with exception of eisley (you dick eisley), i enjoyed meeting everyone.. eisley really is a dick. i don't like him much.. oh yeah, thanks for never saying anything about my camera.. i could not have taken 5,678 pictures if you didn't let me take my camera in..
to our fellow season ticket holders - mainly to bill, but thanks for introducing yourself to us at the beginning of season. who knows if we ever would have talked as much if you didn't do that. you'r a cool guy and both me and my dad look forward to seeing you at least one game next year.. maybe we'll see frank and betty (right?) again too.
to the usher, chris - thanks for getting all the stupid people around us in line when they can't read signs or sit in the wrong seats.. i see the sign every game that says not to put your drinks there, yet people still do it.. also, thanks for cleaning up my spilled drink at the bucks game in march..
and last but definately not least, to my dad - without my dad, i definately would not have been able to go to all 41 games.. we had a fun time together and got to do a lot of cool crap.. we only missed a few giveaways too, but i guess they probably sucked.. we have next year too, so maybe we'll do it all over again?
TO MY FELLOW JAZZ FANS from the message boards - this is not the end of jazzcrap. i have planned a few updates i will do throughout the playoffs, definately making posts when they are up. i have so much jazzcrap i can take a picture of, it's not even funny. check back often or keep and eye on the boards..
thanks to everyone for the wonderful season.. i had a great time and it was wonderful sharing all of my pictures with everyone at these boards.. though i never really met anyone, it was good having you look and comment on my pictures. you've been great.. i've had almost 10,000 hits!
so
long everyone. see you next season!
check back often for random updates, or send me an email and
i will contact you as necessary.
Kings
@ Jazz
4-18-05
Jazz 92 - Kings 82
the game
update will be short because of the year in review update. this was
nice to beat the kings.. i saw us lose to the kings to end the home
season for 2 straight years, so it was nice to beat them.. nobody cheered
sloan or anything, who knows if he will be back or not. we will see.
i walked by the jazz dancers before they game. they didn't acknowledge
me at all and i took no pictures, sorry everyone.
i screwed up 2 chances to get free crap. the first, some got milk stunt
team people were throwing balls behind us at the portal. one of the
balls bounced forward. i had the camera in one hand, so could not make
a good grab. the ball bounced in front of me, past my dad next to me,
and to a little kid next to us.. later, the bear was shooting tshirts
out of the fedex cannon. one hit the banner right above us, again, landing
to the stupid kid. damn. maybe next season.
the bear went over by ilovestockton and sprayed silly string.. i gave ilovestockton a thumbs up saying i had good pictures, which was the first contact i had with him all season at an actual game. i looked over a few minutes later and saw him taking a picture of me, i guess we'll see it soon. (oh yeah, other jazz boards which i also post to will have to go to my favorite board, jazzhoops.net. sorry.).

Spurs
@ Jazz
4-13-05
Jazz 93 - Spurs 91
tonights game was fun because we beat the spurs, this time also on a
basket by memo late in the 4th quarter. game 39 of 41, only 2 games
left. like memo, I have not missed any games (home games that is)
during the 4th quarter when harpring was at the line, someone sounded
an air horn. they came over the PA and said they were not allowed, a
short time later two people were kicked out from the area where the
sound came from. harpring still made both free throws, and i got pictures
of the guy being ejected.
for those of you wondering about the camera, i still used the same one. i was able to play around with it enough to the poing where i can now take pictures again. maybe we'll still get a new one, don't know yet. i am tired and going to bed. i have had to be to work at 6 am all this week, it's gotten to me and i am very tired now. so long.
The
Favorite Five:
(1a) jazz dancers take pictures before the game (1b)(1c)

Blazers
@ Jazz *see below
4-5-05
Jazz 90 - Blazers 79
well, my pictures for this game and gone forever. i let my sister borrow
the camera over the weekend, i get it back and memory card errors are
what she gives me in return. the camera takes pictures ok and even previews
them on the LCD screen, but just gives I/O errors and failures everytime
the pictures are tried to be copied off via the card reader or usb cable.
oh well, guess i have enough pictures to enjoy other than new ones.
sorry everyone, stupid sister.
update- these pictures were donated by cammersvt, from the jazzhoops.net
message board. they are pretty good pictures i think. thanks cam!
Warriors
@ Jazz
4-1-05
Warriors 108 - Jazz 91
i've been to 6 jazz games in the last 12 nights, so games are pretty
much the same now. we lost, didn't play very well, and got our asses
kicked. i had some problems with batteries and was low on power in
the 2nd half, so i didn't take many pictures.
i was hoping that dunleavey would argue, get T'd up twice and tossed,
then take off his jersey and throw it to the stands, like the Mavs
@ Warriors game a few weeks ago. that would have been funny.
the bear came up to the portal next to us sometime in the 3rd quarter.
some guy behind him was tugging his head, trying to get it to come
off. the bear felt it, turned around and pointed angrily at the man.
the bear returned a few minutes later with some silly string
37 games, 2 preseason games, 5,262 pictures. haven't missed a game
yet.

Favorite Five-

Nuggets @ Jazz
3-30-05
Nuggets 109 - Jazz 98
here's my update from tonight's game, ending a long day of jazzcrap. the main thing in this game was the crappy officiating, not getting an obvious call, then jerry getting a T early in the game. giri also was complaining and didn't run back, so sloan got mad at him after an easy basket. sloan yelled at him all timeout.
stockton was there. he got cheered just before halftime and it was nice. he got a standing ovation, which is obvious. i wish karl would have been there. enjoy the pictures, that's all the jazzcrap until friday. too much jazz recently.

Stockton
Statue Unveiling Ceremony
3-30-05
the stockton statue was unveiled here today outside of the Delta Center.
i am about to leave for the game, so no more comments until after
the game. i don't think the statue really looks like him.
enjoy the pictures. see you all after the game.

today.
Team
Autograph Party
3-29-05
More great pictures with the Jazz players.
today we got to go to a team autograph party at the delta center.
it was fun, and i got more autographs from just about all the players.
we didn't get handlogten because he was gone when we got giri's auto,
who sat at his table. we got there and no jazz players were there
yet, had to wait for them to get there. we waited in borch's line,
then went to the rest as harpring was late.
since eisley and livingston aren't on the calendar that i had everyone
sign, i asked them each to draw a little picture of themselves, maybe
even just a little smiley face.. eisley didn't think that was very
funny, but livingston obliged and drew a simple smiley face. it was
funny. he had no line..
the longest line was for AK. we waited about 30 minutes for his autograph..
i asked both he and memo if they did their own websites, they say
someone else does.. i mentioned to AK that i was on his website, he
says " oh yah yah i saw, you can email me." he said to just
find his email onhis site, so i might post on his board. i told him
about jazzcrap.com, so at least one player knows about the website.
maybe AK will spread the word.
sorry, some of the pictures are kinda blurry. i think my camera was
set wrong, and being that close to the jazz, i again was overcome
with emotion and crapped my pants.

Rockets @ Jazz
3-28-05
Rockets 99 - Jazz 85
tonight's
game was just the average jazz game. we renewed our season tickets for
next year (bill, you getting them too) and i am excited for the next
season to begin. i am also looking forward to the playoffs. i am a big
NBA fan, i hope the heat do good in the playoffs. i like shaq from his
laker days, so i will root for him. i'd like to see heat vs cavs, suns
vs spurs for the conference finals this year.
the fan with the rubber chicken was ejected from tonight's game. i don't
know what for, found out about it at espn.com. t-mac went crazy, i have
never seen anyone get 50 in person, so i kind of wanted him to have
a good second half.
37 straight games, 5,048 total pictures. enjoy.

Bucks @ Jazz
3-26-05
Jazz 94 - Bucks 89
i thought for sure
we'd lose this game when i spilt my drink before tipoff. it was early,
probably 25 minutes or so before the game even started. our usher came
to clean it up, then even went and got me a refill. nice. we even won,
so maybe i will have to spill a few more drinks this season, or may
next year.
way to go hump, he had a good game with 17. who says mo was good, he
had another off night with 0 assists. he did shoot well though to make
up for it.
enjoy the pictures. 4,954 pictures and counting

Wizards @ Jazz
3-24-05
Wizards 85 - Jazz 84
what a finish on this one. i am glad it was only by a point and we had a chance to win it. the only thing winning will get us at this point is a crappier draft pick. i am happy with the team tonight, even though we still lost
yeah, that sucks about AK. it's just like the Jazz though to lose another player. enjoy the pictures.. and damn, it looks like i forgot to take a picture of tonight's gametime.

gallery of "Andrei with Fans" and noticed my picture there.
he has me on his page, with text saying "andrei and matt raciti,
his australian fan". that is not my name, and the picture is me
when i was benchwarmer. head to kirilenko.ru

Lakers @ Jazz
3-22-05
Jazz 115 - Lakers 107
so far this year, i've taken 4,474 pictures. i've been to every game including both preseason games, but didn't take the camera to the Rockets game in November, i originally planned on not going, but ended up buying a ticket because I just had to go.
tonight's
game was fun, i always like beating the lakers, even though we both
suck. laker games are always exciting. it was nice to win, but i think
this late in the season, winning doesn't matter to me, at least when
we're not playing for anything. i wonder when boozer will actually be
back.
i think my pictures are pretty good today. enjoy.

it is fun getting to watch the team live. whether we win or not, i am
our fan. i'll stick by the team all the time. i realized i've been to
every jazz game this year. i wonder how many other people have as well.
ilovestockton has not, what about ljjazzman?

Jazz 87 - Clippers 86
whew... that was a close one tonight. it's just like kirilenko missing both of his free throws against the hornets, when we could have one. this time though, mcleod misses 2 big ones after making his first 12. we're lucky they couldn't make a layup, and we're also lucky they didn't have any timeouts. maybe we should have lost, but who cares at this point.

there was a fight between a bunch of fans at the end of tonights game. i saw a bunch of ushers running up during a timeout and looked to the to of the aisles, where i noticed a large group of people throwing blows at each other. i have never seen anything like it at the delta center. i wish i could have been quicker and better on the camera, only managed to get a bunch of blurry pictures

Mavericks 101 - Jazz 83
this is the best jazzcrap update ever, period. tonights game was fun even though we lost. thanks to my dad's season ticket holder representative, we got to be "benchwarmers" and sit on the bench about 2 hours before tipoff, during warmups. we also got autographs and pictures, so it was a great time. ak doesn't sign autographs before the game, so we didn't get his. we did get pictures though. i brought with me my boozer marionette, but he was not there until late when we were already up at the seats.
we rode in an elevator up with orrin hatch. i now wish that i would have taken a picture of it. it was kind of weird being that close to the players at first, but ok after a few minutes. harpring walked to a interview right at the same time we got on the court. it was awesome.

Jazz 100 - Timberwolves 82
as i have said in my posts - this was a good game tonight and i hope sloan continues to use this lineup, until mcleod gets back. we played great and it was a fun game.
- that's the only thing that stood out that was interesting, i was late so did not get a visor. this is only the 2nd time of the season i did not get a giveaway. we got there with about 15 minutes left, and normally are there 1 hour at least early. i think at the dallas game we get to sit on the bench before the game, my dad arranged something with his season ticket representative. maybe i'll get some autographs and good pictures.
My New Favorite Picture Ever So Far - AK slams it down late in the 4th quarter during some garbage time. he played well tonight.
The Favorite
Five
(1)before
the national anthem and introductions, larry huddled with the players
at one end and talked to them, i wonder what he said and if he cried
or not. this is the conference. larry is the bald short one in the middle.
(2)
i liked this starting lineup
(3a)
KG and his powder thing at the beginning of every game (3b)
(4a)
some memo signs (4b)
just missed it saying 'wemo', W was wrong way
(5a)
jazz dancers pick up a bunch of trash cans (5b)
(bonus)
no hot rod tonight, just some bollerjack and booner, sounds like liquor
or something
(bonus)
people laugh and point at the scoreboard during a timeout
(bonus)
confetti balloon comes out (b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
man, i'm speechless after this one. i am happy we caught up late in the 4th, but we should never have gotten down that much. i vote more giricek, he played 8 minutes and scored 7 points, did not miss a shot or free throw. i am starting to like sloan less and less every game. let larry miller start coaching, at least if the jazz lose, we can laugh when he is crying. not even any free giveaways at tonights game, that sucked too.

Jazz 109 - Hornets 91
good thing we didn't lose to the hornets again at home. boozer played well early and gave the team a lift. maybe they should give out boozer marionettes every game. it would be cool to get another player in a marionette, they are cheap, but funny looking.

Bobcats
@ Jazz
2-1-05
Bobcats 109 - Jazz 105
tonights game was crappy. the only thing good about it was the pretzel
i ate at halftime, as well as the coke that refreshed me after my
delicious pretzel. well, i take that back. the first 3 quarters were
ok, but that 4th one sucked big time. i also didn't like how many
fouls were called in the 3rd, that sucked big time as well
The Favorite 5
(1) before the national anthem, the bobcats all lined
up facing the wrong way. this was funny, jazz rep points to where
the flag is
(2) then, all the bobcats turn around
(3) this guy got cake on him three times, the kid
behind was eating it off of him, but i think it was his birthday,
if it was not staged. more pics throughout gallery.
(5) raja leaves after being ejected in the 2nd
1-29-05
Nets 99 - Jazz 82
tonight i felt like the scoreboard and shot clock worked harder than our team did. for those of you who were at the game, you know that wasn't very well at all. during the 4th quarter at about 3:30 left, the announcer had to start saying the score left on the clocks. that was really annoying. vince and kidd both played well tonight. vince almost got a triple-double, and he also won here at utah for the 2nd time this season.
The
Favorite Five

before the game, this kid walked in front of us and went on to do an
entire lap around the arena

the upper press section is seen here?
sorry they are late, but better late than never. i had some pc issues and was not able to boot, but those have since been resolved. i wish ak would start playing more, i can't wait until he is back at full strength. he had 5 blocks in the game, which helped us out a lot. i think the team played well tonight.

Cavs 84 - Jazz 71
boo.. last time the cavs came here they won too, that sucks.. i remember that night ilgauskus and ostertag exchanged blows and i think they were both ejected. regardless, tonights game was crappy. there was a situation at the end of the 4th with some cavs fans with a sign and some guy, all i saw was a cop and usher taking a guy away, can anyone explain what went on? anyone know?

tonight i sat in the lower bowl, away from our normal season tickets.. i sat in portal X, season tickets are in XX, so i had almost the same angle to take pictures. the only thing that sucked was having people in front of you, but i guess it was still fun to be down there (thanks for the free tickets)

awesome game.. it feels good to finally beat the spurs.. they have won everytime since we started getting season tickets.. go memo, way to go hitting that shot at the end.
video
clip of the shot at the end (quicktime, sorry) - as i said

with emotion i accidentally paused before the celebration.. still, it
was a damn cool shot to end the game with..

Kings 109 - Jazz 102
it sucks we lost, but it was fun to see ostersuck back tonight. it looked like he had a good time, but never went and talked to sloan at all. he got a 23% cheer when he checked in, but then got about a 67% cheer when he was in a picture with some kids during a timeout at mid court. he didn't play in the 2nd half at all.

tonight's game was fun, my dad couldn't make it because he got stuck
at work late, so i ended up going with a friend of mine. a few people
i knew from work were also there as well. i am glad the jazz won.
ak was there behind the bench and i snapped a pick of boozer yelling
while ak was behind him. i also got a funny picture of the fat guy
who gives everyone 5's when we score dressed up as a ballerina and
picking up a ref. funny.

No favorites, but late in the 4th, some guy went and started
throwing pictures at the Jazz bench. He threw about 4 or so, then held
up a sign. I am not sure what it said, but Cops came quick when he started
throwing pictures and arrested him. Got a couple pictures of them taking
him out. Not sure what happened.

Raptors 104 - Jazz 95
well the team lost, but so did phoenix so that is a little relieving.
we didn't pull through in the 4th and were outscored by a ton. i tried
to take a lot of Picture A/B types so people who want to break them
down and analyze them can.
here's
my favorite five pictures-
(1)
these stupid people next to me did arts and crafts the whole game,
paid no attention whatsoever to the game itself, i hate people like
this. if your going to be there, root your heart out for one team.
if it's not the home team, so be it, but pay attention.
(2)
the guy controlling the blimp has a great job
(3)
ref reviewing long three after the 1st

so here's my pictures that i took again... great game again. toronto on wednesday should be a good matchup, they're now 3-0, play @ sac on tuesday night, then come to utah for wednesday. will be interesting..
here's
my five favorite pics-
(1) old jazz players reunion
(2) boozer gets an award
(3) jazz bear rides on motorcycle with jazz dancer
(4) shortest man shoots technical
(5) you can't shoot over boozer

Jazz 104 - Lakers 78
tonight's game was great. we crushed the lakers and it felt good. one thing i saw that was interesting was the rim of one of the hoops was taken off and replaced before the game. i've never seen something like that at a game, so it was interesting.
some
of my favorites of tonight (not links)-
(1) changing the rim on one of the backboards, less than 5 mins. to
gametime, delaying it
(2) fireworks, fireworks, fireworks, never gotten to take pictures of
them before
(3) boozer's dad's birthday? i think he was there, the jazz bear came
out of a box and went to him
(4) kobe's crazy, sportscenter highlight dunk. wow, too bad i don't
take pictures when it matters.
