    Evans monster game

    It happens to everybody in the NBA. At least he didn't pull a Carlos Boozer and just let the guy go by him. He actually challenged the dunk by Hickson. Go human pogo stick!

    Evans monster game

    If we are going to play Millsap full-time at Small Forward against San Antonio (with Favors as the starter at Power Forward), Jeremy Evans should get a lot of time at the back up Power Forward spot. If Evans can give consistent effort and overall play when he is in the game, we become a much...

    Here is my Utah Jazz Playoff Depth Chart.

    PG: Devin Harris, Jamaal Tinsley, Blake Ahearn SG: Gordon Hayward, Alec Burks, Raja Bell SF: Paul Millsap, Josh Howard/Demarre Carroll (whoever is playing better that night) PF: Derrick Favors, Jeremy Evans (seriously, why doesn't he get playing time?), Paul Millsap C: Al Jefferson, Enes...

    Rethinking Jefferson

    I agree. Jefferson was simply amazing against the Suns. They simply had no way to stop him. He has improved this year defensively. I want lots and lots of our new "Big 3" (Millsap, Favors, and Jefferson). Teams simply can't match up against our size, length, and defense (especially with Hayward)...

    Well, now that we know that we are going to be playing San Antonio...

    should we rest our starters in basically a meaningless game tomorrow against Portland? I say yes. There is no point in risking injury to any of our key players by playing them heavy minutes. I would probably allow the starting five to start the game, but I would only play them in the 1st and 3rd...

    Could the Jazz be like the 1999 New York Knicks?

    If we all don't remember, the 1999 NBA season was also shortened because of a lockout. That year, the New York Knicks made it to the Eastern Conference Playoffs as the #8 seed. New York also barely made it to the playoffs that year (they didn't secure the final spot until the last week of the...

    Official Game Thread: Suns at Jazz, Tuesday, 4/24, 8:30 MT, TNT

    I'm totally going to the game! I haven't been this excited to go to a Jazz game since the the Jazz's last conference finals run in 2006! Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express

    The Jazz will clinch a playoff spot with a win over Phoenix on Tuesday.

    We are firmly in the driver's seat now. Our win over Orlando coupled with Phoenix's loss to Denver means we can clinch on Tuesday. A win on Tuesday would give us our 35th win and would also give Phoenix their 32nd loss. That means the worst possible record we could finish with would be 35-31 and...

    Jazz may have double the chance of getting the #1 draft pick

    Jazz may have double the chance of getting the #1 draft pick

    Actually, the Jazz still could possibly land Golden State's pick under this scenario. Remember, all 14 lottery teams have a chance to acquire a top 3 pick. Even if the Warriors were to finish 6th or 7th in the final standings, we would just need for one (if 7th place) or two (if 6th place) teams...

    Next trap game; let's FOCUS on ORLANDO game!

    It is still very possible for the Jazz to get the 7th seed. We just need to win our last three home games and hope that Denver splits their final four games. The latter scenario is actually very likely, because the Nuggets still have to play @ Phoenix and @ Oklahoma City. I project them to lose...

    Jazz Playoff Watch

    All of these things happened. Things are looking good for the Jazz. If we win out, we could possibly land the #7 seed and avoid a match up against the #1 seed in the West. Remember, we own the tie-breaker with Denver, so, if we finish tied with them, we will get the higher seed in the playoffs...

    Jazz Playoff Watch

    Of their four remaining home games, the only one that I will confidently say that Phoenix is most likely to win is against Denver and maybe OKC. I think their only chance against San Antonio is if the Spurs are resting players. I think that they lose to the Clippers too.

    The Jazz are going to make the Playoffs.

    If we win in Portland on Wednesday (which is likely because Aldridge is out and the Trailblazers will have nothing to play for because they were eliminated from Playoffs contention on Monday), Phoenix loses at home to Oklahoma City, and Houston loses at Dallas, we will take over the 8th spot...

    Pogo's Defense at the 3 position

    That is why I want us to draft a Power Forward in the upcoming draft with the Golden State (and I hope not our own) pick (if we get it) to be Derrick Favors's back up. The 2012 draft is absolutely loaded with talented big men and if we land one, we could move Millsap to Small Forward...

    Paul Millsap's putback jam

    Anybody notice what lineup we had on the floor during that fourth quarter stretch when we went from 8 points down to a seven point lead? Answer: Harris (PG), Hayward (SG), Millsap (SF), Favors (PF); and Jefferson (C). This needs to be our starting lineup from now on. It is our best offensive...

    Game Thread: Utah Jazz Vs. Phoenix Suns April 4th @ 7:00 PM

    Well, I don't think that our team's lineup should be dictated as a reaction to what the other team does. We should make Phoenix have to deal with us, not the other way around. I pretty much trust Favors's length, athleticism, and defensive ability to be able to shut down Channing Frye, whether...
