    '96 Winning Streak Record in Danger

    All the attention is on the Utah Jazz and both DM and Gobert can become first-time all-stars if they continue their run. Utah players may put in extra effort to keep the winning streak alive and they're a threat to several winning streaks in the club history, including Stockton and Malone's '96...

    Donovan Mitchell is shining

    The biggest question for the Utah Jazz before the season was if DM could take a step forward. He is this team's ceiling because it's basically impossible to win a title without an elite player (minus '04 Pistons) and DM is the only player on the roster with that potential. With about 10% of the...

    Starting Lineup Now?

    Utah has added Boj and Ed Davis and lost Favors. MCJ, DM and Gobert are locks obviously. Who will claim the other two starting spots? To me it's unlikely Ingles and Boj will both start due to the potential rebounding and athleticism/quickness issues. Ingles should be Utah's Ginobili coming off...

    Kyrie Irving

    Kyrie will almost certainly leave BOS this offseason. He's also too exhausted of the spotlight and might consider signing for a competitive small market team that will become contenders with his arrival. We should take advantage of the situation offering the lack of media coverage in Utah...

    Add G or PF?

    Two things are obvious: DM/Gobert/Jingles are here to stay and they need help offensively. Rubio and Fav are starter level players but that don't fit well together. Losing both would be a mistake for a small market club. One of them should stick around a bit more as a luxurious 4th/5th option...

    Is Raul Neto actually Utah's best PG?

    Our humble third string PG is sneaky good and most of you guys are not even aware of that. He's 6'1" that people assume he's poor defensively. He's not. He's one of those cerebral defenders. Plays angles well and has stellar anticipation. And he doesn't seem to have the weaknesses Rubio and X...

    Utah Jazz is 20th defense, 8th offense after 12 Games

    Last season Utah was #1 defensively and #16 offensively after 82 games. (107.2 ORTG and 102.9 DRTG) Last season after 12 games #3 defense, #28 offense (98.9 - 100.9) This season after 12 games #20 defense, #8 offense (110.6 and 109.1) Looks like an entirely different team, right?

    54 Wins

    538 predicts UTA to win 54 games this season tying with HOU for #2 in West. This is the statistics nerds' prediction while historically the most accurate prediction tool is bookies' lines. It's around 48 wins for UTA. But UTA crashed bookies' lines over the years consistently. They're such an...

    Ricky Rubio will break out this season

    I'm from Europe so Rubio's adventure in Utah is particularly interesting to me. When he was 15 years old he already was kicking *** so we all thought he was the next big thing. No wonder his NBA journey has been underwhelming. There might be reasons behind that. First of all he has a...

    Ricky Rubio makes 4 threes in a row, his Spanish teammates are puzzled

    A friendly game but you can see his confidence is sky high. What in the Sam Hill.. He used to be shying away from shooting threes now it's the opposite. I vividly remember one such instance in Germany vs Spain game last summer. Down the stretch he was wide open at the top but decided to pass...

    Interesting Utah Jazz Discussion on the Ringer

    They talk about Snyder's 'advantage basketball', Royce O'Neale, of course Donovan. and Utah's playoffs chances, and Utah's title chances!!

    Royce O'Neale is beasting

    Dude looks like a seasoned veteran out there, plays both ends and makes good decisions, is not afraid to make plays/take shots. Now he's delivering with the increased minutes and responsibility. Had a career night on a crazy B2B in San Antonio in 32 minutes. Made a steal & dunk to seal the...

    Evan Fournier

    ORL is shopping him. Do you think we should trade for this guy? I think a quality player is undervalued when playing for poorly managed clubs ala ORL, SAC, CHI. So Evan can be better that he already is (averaging 18 points on 45/39/89 this year). He's making $17m/year until 2021. Dude loves...
