The Utah Jazz haven't received a lot of national attention this season despite standing tall next to the best teams in the Western Conference.

But that's fine with them, according to HoopsWorld.

"Yeah, it's been like that for years, even when they had (John) Stockton and Karl (Malone)," Carlos Boozer told HoopsWorld recently. "Obviously, they were one of the best teams, but they didn't get as much respect as the Lakers or what have you. For us, we don't mind being under the radar. I mean, we want more publicity, but we have to continue to win and be successful to get it."

Utah is just three games behind New Orleans for the top slot in the West with two weeks left in the regular season.

"We're still the underdog," added Boozer. "We get no respect, but the great thing about this team is we have guys that, as a unit, go out there and prove it and earn our respect. That's something we still look forward to this year too. It's a little harder for us because we're in Utah, but at the end of the day all that matters is what we do in the playoffs. The playoffs are coming and we'll see what we do."
