    Deathuary is coming

    It sure seems like the Jazz might never lose a game again right now. We'll know for sure if the Jazz are legit or not if they can survive the gauntlet of games that is coming in February. What's your prediction for February - wins? losses?

    So we've never had a #1 pick.

    Utah Jazz or LA Clippers: Who is the 2nd-best team in the West? | The Jump

    From cleaningtheglass.com - the only power ranking that really hard data based and is without bias. The Lakers are number one, but by a hair.

    The Jazz need to get PJ Tucker

    36% from 3 is useless? 87% from the free throw line? He averaged almost a block and a steal per game - we couldn't use that? You can check his D here, it's pretty dang solid (Joe Ingles IQ with more mobility) and he won't be asked to play D half as hard with the Jazz (because our system is...

    Why coaching and leadership matter so so much...

    Putting together a winning team isn't as easy as it would seem. Utah has always managed to do it somehow, we've almost never missed the playoffs and our highest draft pick in the history of the franchise is #3. We've rarely been high in the lottery picks. We used the #7 pick on Thurl Bailey...

    The Jazz need to get PJ Tucker

    Nikola Mirotic - he's 29 years old, shoots 36% from 3, has had 36 point games before and plays perimeter defense with his feet.

    Waiver News

    I still think Nikola Mirotic would be the best free agent that the Jazz could bring in - who would instantly fit our system and actually make us better. He'd also be insurance in case someone got injured - we'd still have enough scoring punch to beat any team and win in the Finals. The Jazz...

    Jared Sullinger wants back in the NBA 2 hours ago – via Ben Stinar @ Forbes.com Sullinger is not ready to call it a career and is looking to make an NBA comeback. “I’m definitely trying to get back to the NBA,” he said. “I feel like I’ve still got a lot of basketball left, I can help a team, I...

    The spotlight is back on us, how will we fare?

    What makes this year's squad legit contenders is that we were up on the Warriors by 40 but not one player on our team was doing anything EXTRAORDINARY - sure, everyone was playing pretty well. But, it's not like Mitchell had 50, or Gobert had a triple-double with 10 blocks, or Mike Conley shot...

    Nemanja Bjelica?

    You take every avenue to make the team better and win more. If he's 15% better than Juwan Morgan or Niang - you have to consider the move. I bet the Lakers make a move at or before the deadline, you'd hate it be for Bjelica when he hits tough shots against the Jazz in the playoffs...

    Nemanja Bjelica?

    2020-2021 Western Conference Regular Season Prediction Contest

    Season has barely started but one team that everybody whiffed on was definitely the San Antonio Spurs. They are currently the #5 seed, but have had the 4th hardest strength of schedule so far and their 8 and 5 includes wins over the Blazers, Clippers and Lakers. I'd bet money on the Spurs to...

    Jazz — New Bad Boys?

    Yeah sure the team with the least fouls in the NBA is new bad boys. ITS not the worst hot take I’ve ever seen.

    Kevin Porter Jr.

    I'm not sure on the one hand -the attitude issues. On the other hand - maybe our roster is too friendly with each other? Maybe we need a bad attitude? He's 6'5" with a 6'9" wingspan - so I think the Jazz might be interested. He's also super athletic and can create his own shot. If Jordan...

    The Jazz Now have a top 10 Offense AND Defense!

    At the beginning of the season, I would have said if the Jazz can crack the top 5 in offensive and defensive teams - that we'd be legit contenders for the next 3 years. I don't know that it even matters. The Harden-KD nets have played 2 games together and already beat Milwaukee who should have...

    George "The Astro Van" Niang!

    Why the Astro Van? Because he is playing like a star and shooting lights out. He legitimately was probably the 2nd best player off our bench - even drove to the hoop for some action and seems to be moving his feet more on defense. At this point, moving him for Korver could be a downgrade - I'm...

    Kyle Korver

    Sorry Georges, I didn’t know you had an account here. No disrespect but the numbers don’t lie. https://behindthebuckpass.com/2020/04/28/milwaukee-bucks-kyle-korvers-off-ball-defense-deserves-recognition/

    Kyle Korver

    Rumor is the Nets might grab him as they have empty roster spots. Though, I think he'd be wasted on that roster - I mean are any of their big 3 really going to pass it to him?

    Kyle Korver

    If he gets Niang's minutes - we would actually be slightly better at that spot defensively. Not to mention Korver knocks them down.
