    Why The Jazz Are Sitting Pretty + Bonus Graphic!

    Like the additional reasons :) Sometimes it just feels like some positivity needs to flow . . . in all honesty I am no less optimistic now than I was at the end of last season nor at the beginning of this. Small hurdles over the next 2-3 years are just muscle being built.

    Why The Jazz Are Sitting Pretty + Bonus Graphic!

    Why The Jazz Are Sitting Pretty. TLDR - Read the BOLD headers. 10 games in and at 5-5 we're sitting on 7th place in the Western Conference. For some it's not enough and for others they're quite happy. Here's why I believe after sitting back taking a deep breath and looking at our first 10...

    GAME THREAD: Jazz at Hawks 11/15/2015 6pm EST

    Want to get familiar with what the Hawks fans are thinking? . . . enjoy the Hawks fan forum for some kicks: Atlanta Hawks Fan Forum A particular quote that is fun in light of our front line if Gobert plays with Favors: "This team is inferior to last years team. I'm kind of bored with these...

    Gobert and Favors in the Paint on O - How to Manage

    Well said, I think Rudy can improve as well . . . just get a 2 moves like a simple jump hook and an over under or something similar. There have even been a few times where Gobert really has shown some 8 foot spin/jab drives that were amazing as well (that spin reverse dunk last year comes to...

    GAME THREAD: Jazz at Hawks 11/15/2015 6pm EST

    GAME THREAD - Lazy Sunday Version: Jazz at Hawks 11/15/2015 6pm EST The road trip has been tough. But it's time for the team to rally, get our best team on the floor and show why we're playoff bound. The Hawks are another top tier team in the East and this road win will send a message -...

    So did we learn anything from last years "Learning Year"?

    Why I'm not worried about this at all: * not a single player of much significance is likely trending downwards (barring injury) for 3-4 years * many potentially significant players are still def trending upward * the "maturity" factor that leads to big road wins is likely 1-2 years out even for...

    Gobert and Favors in the Paint on O - How to Manage

    First off the stats from this link at SBNation article here are unsourced and I actually question them a bit. Anyone know if there's a stat source with this type of info that's publicly available? Stats below: Favors stats with and without Gobert this year: Per 48 minutes Points...

    Predictions from Crystal Ball

    Glad you liked it :) And I like what the crystal ball is showing you - if that happens this year, holy damn we're doing to be good in the next 2-3 years.

    At what point is it time to get concerned about Hayward?

    Hayward's performance is what has me excited. The guy worked is tail feathers off this off-season, I think he'll be at least as good as last year, maybe even a little more efficient because the surrounding players are going to be an improvement taking a little pressure off him. When his game...

    Predictions from Crystal Ball

    If you mean two all stars . . . I believe it's a real chance (outside chance but chance) as well. All joking in a little graphic aside, it goes along with the Homecourt Horchata :). All we need is a team to fall apart (Oklahoma last year) from injuries or just the normal chemistry smush that so...

    Predictions from Crystal Ball

    At the opening of this season I had the chance to peer into the crystal ball . . . the ride ahead is a good one. Thought I'd share: For the full details visit https://i.imgur.com/WZZuabR.jpg - this because will be to hard to read small font on mobile or small desktop :) Not sure the last...

    For those Jazz fans that LURK here but don't post

    Good bump. A reminder to us lurkers to drop an addition to the forum everyone once in a while. The original from PKM (Jones) got me motivated enough to drop a few in the last year. I think of it like the old regular visit from the fund raisers for NPR. I totally value the service and damnit have...

    The Churro Vision I had indicated playoffs was not enough let the miracles commence: And lo the end time was nigh and I did lay eyes upon 3 seals. And the first seal was opened and I beheld a great beast within the key and the thunder and the sun(s) were blotted out and the pelicans did flee...

    Are there any Kanter apologists left? What are they saying?

    I'm happy to say I'll miss what I think Kanter could have provided and that is being a very good 3rd big. I just don't think we could have afforded it. Despite his atrocious D he would have been one of the better PF/C off the bench guys in the league especially as his D was getting better nearer...

    My frontline can beat up your frontline - Why I'm giddy.

    This is what I see as key for Favors/Gobert to be a great and not just really, really good duo. In today's game, if you don't have a stretch 4, working the 4/5 well really requires 2 really good (38%+ probably?) or three quite good (35%+ another estimate?) 3 guns from the point and wings. I...

    Gays...

    Mindset and approach make me love a player more than skill (so many Carmello's out there) and Rudy is probably the only player other than D-Will whose demeanor gets me feeling all Stock & Malone since that duo broke up. Hayward - love his game, he's focused and dedicated but the IT hasn't really...
