First, let's start off with the fact I also love Donovan Mitchell and would love to keep him also. But if we lose Rudy a part of me will die just a little. I consider him the third greatest Jazz man of all time. If we lose Rudy we lose a ton that is obvious but also a bunch of intangibles: *...

Yes a bit click baity title, but I believe for 95% of even top fans and for likely more of the broad NBA fan base this is probably true. Here's the defensive side of why: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/rudy-gobert-is-having-one-of-the-best-defensive-seasons-in-modern-nba-history/ Pretty...

I know we've all been rooting hard for JC as the league's 6MOY this season but it just ain't gonna happen. OK - so the dude has some kicking stats: * 17.3 PPG great starter like numbers * 17.1 PER again, great starter level numbers * he routinely gets great nods from the media: “Jordan...

So are we getting down after a loss to a top tier team, on the road, with that team setting many of their shooting records in the first half. A team that had one of the best shooting quarters to start a game in history. A team that tied the NBA first half three pointer record. A team that we...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! I rarely jump on JFC to comment much anymore but watch all your lovely antics from afar. Y'all are the greatest. That said besmirching the character of JS on the merits of this vid is ludicrous. Not saying he 100% isn't saying questionable things about COVID but to say...

Among all NBA players Mitchell is currently ranked 7th in points per game in the playoffs. That. Is. Not. Just. Rookies. - All. Time. Career. You look at the names he is with in the playoffs and its mind boggling. He's mind boggling. But we all knew that. Just bask in the moment and enjoy . . .

Never before (and almost certainly never again) has a Conference's 3 seed - played the 4; 5 seed played the 6; and 8 seed played the 9.On the final night of the season. All with tied records. All with the winner moving up in the standings and the loser moving down (or even out) in the playoffs...

So here are. We've come so far towards a boy's dream that the "far fetched" is upon us, the improbable is at our door, and the scenario where "it is less probable that we get the 3 seed now then it was that we'd make the playoffs when we were 19-28" is nearly a reality. And what poetic justice...

Jazz doing everything they need to. Just need some of the other top West teams to go on some losing streaks. Injuries to Golden State and Washington in particular are making opponent losses that should happen not.

I like it and because the spreadsheet is already built easy to do. As of today (green is predicted, red is bad upsets, green background is an upset in our favor). This could also go in the playoff thread if we needed. Nice thing is each projection has room for 2 upsets against us. We just...

Actually, has there ever been a time when all five teams made the playoffs in a single division? We might be in the toughest division in NBA history.

Believe.

This year ... so damn true. Probably the truest its ever been. Really all its about is that first round win and everything else is gravy.

So you're saying it's fetchable!? :)

Nostradamus. Amen.
