Ask the expert: Jazz play dirty or hard?
By Steve Luhm



Posted: 10:49 AM- Question:

One thing opposing fans (and even some players) say over and over again is the Jazz play dirty. It was heard again during the Jazz-Rockets series. That opinion seems as consistent as the Jazz's won-loss record. So I'll put it to you experts. In your opinion, do the Jazz play dirty or do they just play hard?

-- A Jazz fan for over 20 years

Answer:

Over the years, I think the Jazz have played hard, not dirty.

There is a difference that will require a little explanation.
