1. Jerry Sloan Is Tough..."Coach believes in keeping things professional. We
don't get to wear headbands or anything extra, and there's no playing cards
on the plane. He considers it a working trip and doesn't want vocationlike
activities."
不準載頭帶, 飛機上不準玩牌。

2. ...Especially At Practice "Coach's favorite drill is called skeleton a
five-man fast-break fun with no D for 10 to 15 minutes. Sometimes we'll be
coming off three games in four days, and Coach tells us we're running
skeleton. Its not pretty"
教練最喜歡的訓練 - skeleton : 五個人在無人防守下跑快攻, 跑10~15分鐘。

3. On the Seventh Day, We rest. "Our owner, Larry Miller, is strong in the
Mormon faith, so we don't play home games on Sundays. This can make things
tough, because it means more back-to-back games. We have the roughest schedule
in the league because of it. On the other hand, the Jazz have been wonderful
in terms of allowing me to take care of my daughter, Tatum, even in the middle
of the playoffs. They let me know that family comes before anything."
猶他星期天不比賽, 因為老板是摩門教徒。

4. We Need a New Deejay "We might be the only NBA team without a light show
before the game. They give us one Jay-Z song for when we run out, then go
soft rock or country. We have young guys who depend on music to get going in
warmups. Even two or three songs would help."
我們需要一個新的DJ..

5. Andrei Kirilenko Brakes for Librarians. "He's always reading. Not
magazines or whatever, but serious Russian literature. Heavy sutff. He
doesn't even warm up before games; he reads."
AK賽前不熱身, 都在看書, 一些俄國文學。

6. Ask Jarron Collins. "We call him Jeeves because he's our main source
of information. He's always on his BlackBerry looking at gossip columns,
updating us on who's dating whom. Also, NBA news and world events. We give
him a hard time, bue we wouldn't know what's going on without him."
Collins被大家稱為管家, 因為他總是用他的黑莓機在找一些八卦消息。

7. Dee Brown Can't Shut Up. "He's our No. 1 talker. The funniest thing to
happen this season was when we were doing this exercise where you balance on
one foot in push-up position. Dee was bragging that it was too easy, that he
could do it with no feet on the ground. So he raised both feet and fell right
on his face."
Dee是 no. 1 talker
