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...

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...

;tldr - Go Jazz and Go Jazz Fanz positive vibes everywhere - just believe! Come one, come all, ye merry JFCers! For the future is bright, the torches are lit and the Tower they call Stifle protects our borders! Look on and see that with nary an unreasonable prediction our heroes will rise up...

On the eve of the crazy few days that are about to ensue, let's step back and look at our two stars. Fortunately I feel confident that we will be able to have both on our team going forward . . . what a luxury with two top tier players. But this does help crystallize how valuable you believe...

Did a quick very unscientific poll of this thread on RealGM of NBA fans: https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1462460#start_here And with 48 responses to how the Jazz will fare in the Western Conference by seasons end in 2017 here are the results: So after a bit of...

So I like the move. I think it set's the tone for keeping our key players with a "we're ready to win" message, while keeping us flexible enough to make a move in FA 1-2 years from now (when the insane FA impact is settled a bit - this year will be nuts, as in we haven't even begun to see what...

Throw your collective faith/psychic powers/karma/churros at the Jazz going 4-1 or better and the Grizz 2-3 or worse. Boom we own tie breaker with 2-1 season series advantage. Another boom - no Spurs or Warriors til Conf Finals (ok conf finals may be a reach ... ). Make it so hoop gods...

After the Dallas game I was so pumped I had to breathe into a paper bag for a full 30 minutes. Even changed my avatar in honor of the game MVP (so damn sorry Burks it hurt, it really did). So now it's time to head to the hills, light a bonfire, and dance in a loin cloth in front of that cave...

You know Derrick Favors has arrived. Srsly, only pure raw instinct would allow any human to actually throw down the double flex into a front curl like Lyles did when Favors sealed the game. Saw that during the game and loled my butt off ... wanted to see if anyone else noticed? Regardless, it...

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 - 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 -...

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...

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...

The TLDR: Our front line kicks *** and not just because we love them and the eyeball test is compelling. I'd take them objectively right now over any other in the league. --- I have only started a post once before, back around the time when PKM invited all the lurkers to give a wave (dude -...

I like to see how people view and hope for the future. There are many possible variants that could be added to the 4 I've put in the poll but this gives decent breadth without creating too many possibilities. This is a personnel poll not a coaching poll as I know coaching could be something...
