    Early pulse check on offseason expectations

    I want to test the pulse of what people think we should do next offseason. For the sake of this argument, lets say that all options above are on the table and the FO can choose between any of them, and none of them are unreasonable to achieve. This means for example that the "big splash trade"...

    A look back of the process so far

    Our default starters in the 2022-23 campaign before the trade deadline were: Conley, who turned 35 during that season, and was doing A LOT OF stuff for the team, including acting as a crutch for Hardy Clarkson, 30 years old who carried the team a lot with his own scoring Olynyk, 31 year old who...

    Are there people still calling this a "hot streak"?

    What we all once dubbed as a "hot streak" has now gone beyond being a streak. In the last 24 games: Our record is 17-7, which gives a win pct of .708 Out of those 24 games, we have played 10 at home and 14 on the road Out of those games, 13 are against above .500 teams and 11 against sub .500...

    Athletic article about Conley trade

    Jon Krawcynski did an interview with Conley focused around the trade to Wolves. https://theathletic.com/5067669/2023/11/24/mike-conley-minnesota-timberwolves-nba-trade-deadline/ Its obvious from that interview that Conley did not want to get traded and even though he had expected it might...

    Analyzing the defense after 9 games

    So trying to get a grasp on our defensive schemes and ideas seems like a tall task. Any analysis I've tried to do based on tape is just all over the place in terms of what causes defensive meltdowns. So lets keep this analysis on stats. The good (Jazz rank in top 15) Our defensive rebounding...

    Kessler injury

    View: https://x.com/Tjonesonthenba/status/1722323594577940933?s=20 Apparently this injury occured in the Kings game and has lingered since and now been aggravated. Likely to miss multiple games.

    Clarkson in a slump?

    Jordan Clarkson numbers for this season are ugly. Lowest points per game in 6 years (despite a prominent starting role), Lower-than-THT TS at 48.1% and BY FAR team high 3.8 turnovers per game. Those two things (scoring and ball security) are supposed to be his strenghts. So if he doesnt have...

    Who will blow up in the West?

    There are too many good teams in the West and its going to affect teams records and the standings can get wild at the end of this year with just a couple wins between 6th seed and 11th. There is also the fact that apparently both 2025 and 2026 drafts look stacked, or so Ive been told. So...

    John Collins Hype & Appreciation Thread

    Collins has bought a house in Draper so it looks like he is here to stay. That also makes more sense now that we know Taylor Hendricks is still raw and will likely take a longer route to rotation/starting than we thought when this trade happened. The super high flying dunks are gonna happen...

    Our 2023-24 offense and scoring

    Ok I'm still bored and anxious about this season so I will make another projection thread. I came to realize that my starting 5 PPG projections are likely overblown. Either that or then we are gonna have a historically good offense this year. Let me break this down. First and foremost, I will...

    Sophomore PRABS for Kessler and Ochai

    So I did a small excel excercise based on last year trying to estimate Kessler and Ochai PRABS going into next season. I took the games where they played most minutes (Ochai anything over 15, Kessler anything over 25), and used those as the base. That ended up with Ochai averaging 25,5 minutes...

    Who is the backcourt star we could theoretically get to complete the roster?

    I went through Ringers top 100 list and filtered it down to guards. I tried to identify all possible guys in the top 50 of that list that we could get that are already solidified or borderline NBA stars. I ranked them in arbitrary imaginary buckets based on the likeliness that they might move...

    The West Conundrum

    Can all these things be simultaneously true? Spurs improve their record after adding Wemby Rockets improve after adding FVV+Brooks+Amen+Cam Jazz improve after adding Collins, Keyonte, Hendricks and Sensabaugh (and also by not tanking the rest of the way next season) OKC improve after adding...
