The Push Off wasn't even the most egregious. It was waving off Eisley's three and then counting Harper's - that's a six-point swing right there.

I'm out of the loop - what is this passively floated idea the Jazz will move to Vegas? I've joked about it previously but I've never heard it even passively hinted by anyone. If anything, they'll relocate out to Lehi or something ridiculous and away from downtown.

J&J accounted for just 7% of vaccinations in the US. Your dwelling on this nonsense, when the issue likely resulted in a much smaller overall risk than COVID itself, and both-sidings it with Stockton's insane and outrageous claims, is ridiculous. Do better.

I mean, you can deny it all you want but there's a reason SLC has the reputation it does. I'm assuming you're white (Jewish, I'm guessing, in the US). You've probably lived your entire life in a city where white people made up at least a huge chunk of the population. I don't think anyone on...

I never said no one wants to play/stay here. Please do not twist my words. I said it's a bigger challenge to get that all star talent to remain here. I mapped out exactly how long those players have remained with the Jazz in response to someone who said other NBA teams have won titles with...

I think they face a similar stigma as SLC to be honest. But the big difference is that Oklahoma City is 14% black and Milwaukee is almost 40% Black. Salt Lake? 3%. I do think that plays a role. We have the smallest Black population of any NBA city. Even Portland (6%) and Phoenix (7%) have a...

Maybe ... Jokic because European players seem more receptive to Utah (I guess Giannis fits that too). The problem is that they're pretty rare - at least at that level. As I pointed out, Gobert wasn't going to win Utah a title like those two might.

Nikola Jokić played with the Nuggets for eight seasons before they won their NBA title. Utah got five seasons out of Mitchell before they unloaded him. Steph Curry was in his sixth season when he won his first title with the Warriors - or one more than Mitchell played in Utah. Giannis was in...

I mean, the Millers sold the Jazz in the fall of 2020. I doubt it was a deal that happened quickly (something like that doesn't) - it's hard for me to believe in a few months that the pandemic raged, that they became so destitute they needed to sell the Jazz. There was definitely more at play...

I think a big reason the Millers sold the Jazz is that they knew it was becoming increasingly difficult to attract and keep talent. The reality is, the NBA, more than any professional sport, is culturally urban and Utah is decidedly not. Basketball has generally been a big city, urban-centric...

I remember this! I thought it was like a fevered-dream. They talked a lot about it on 1320 that summer. It was played up as the Big Three titleless players coming together for one last run. But as we saw in 1999, with the shortened season, age was a huge factor in Utah bowing out early. That...

lol

Dame has been very complimentary toward the Jazz, the fans and the state for years, so, even if Miami is his top destination, I would hope he'd still be reinvigorated to potentially take the Jazz to their first-ever NBA title. I don't see Dame as the type of player to hold an attitude because...

Possible but it doesn't feel implausible. Like, I look at 1992 or 1994 or 1996, seasons the Jazz were good enough to make the WCF but I don't see any chance, no matter how many do-overs, that Utah goes and beats Chicago in 1992 if they get by Portland. I don't see how they can beat the 1994...

Utah was close only because of parity. The NBA doesn't have a super elite, impossible to stop team right now and they didn't in 2021, either. Of course, that just makes Utah's lackluster playoff performances the last three seasons they made it all the more damning. If the Jazz don't choke a...
