    What will the Jazz's depth chart be this year?

    Here's mine: PG: Trey Burke, Dante Exum, Ian Clark SG: Alec Burks, Rodney Hood, Joe Ingles SF: Gordon Hayward, Jeremy Evans, Joe Ingles PF: Enes Kanter, Trevor Booker, Steve Novak C: Derrick Favors, Rudy Gobert, Enes Kanter Based upon what I have seen so far, this should be our depth...

    Utah Jazz to enter into an official "hybrid" relationship with Idaho Stampede

    Source: https://dleaguedigest.com/2014/06/04/source-utah-jazz-idaho-stampede-affiliation-likely-to-be-announced-soon/ This is an obvious move. Idaho is essentially Utah-lite. I expect that when the official announcement comes, the Stampede will rebrand their logos and colors to represent their...

    Another quasi-silly question.

    Why the hell does the NBA wait for more than a month just to do the freaking lottery? Why don't they just do it now? None of the teams in the lottery are in the playoffs, so, it is not like they have a lot of other things to do before then. I can understand why they do the draft when then do...

    Here's a silly question.

    If and when the Jazz lose at Minnesota, who will be in the 3rd spot if the Magic beat the Pacers (assuming they rest their starters now that that have clinched the #1 seed in the east)? Both teams would finish at 24-58, so, would it come down to a coin flip, or, would the magic get it because...

    Would this be a dream draft for the Jazz?

    https://nbadraft.net/2014mock_draft I could live with that. We get our superstar SF, allowing Hayward to play his natural position of SG. We also get two good back-up PG's to back up Trey Burke. I would be very happy.

    Gordon Hayward, Enes Kanter, and Derrick Favors EQUALS Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parrish

    Now, tell me where I am wrong. Sure, these three players may not be at the 1980's Celtics level yet, but I think that they have the potential to do so. Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express Pro

    West Finals will be Grizzlies vs. Warriors.

    Now, tell me that I'm wrong. Both teams split their first two games on the road against higher seeds (OKC and San Antonio). They both now own home court advantage, and both of them have very intimidating home courts. I expect both Golden State and Memphis to win each series in 6 games (wins in...

    We are still not out of it people.

    All we have to do is win in Minnesota (probable, as we have already won their this year) and Memphis (possible, as the Grizzlies could be resting their starters if they are locked into the #5 seed) and the Lakers need to lose to Houston (very possible, as the Rockets are trying to stay ahead of...

    Even though most are not thinking about it right now...

    the Jazz still could potentially finish higher than the 8 seed. It is highly unlikely that we will catch Houston, as they 1) own the tie-breaker over us (they won the season series 3-1), 2) they already have 41 wins (which means that they would have to go 4-4 in their final 8 games), and 3) they...

    You have got to be freaking kidding me.

    What else exactly are we supposed to do? That's now three games in a row that we should have won that we have lost.

    I am the only one who actually prefer...

    the Jazz to face Oklahoma City in the Playoffs over the LA Clippers? We match up way better against them than we do against Blake Griffin and Co. The Clip Show swept us 4-0 this season, but we are tied 1-1 against OKC. I feel that we would actually have a chance against the Thunder, while I give...

    Here is my Utah Jazz Playoff Depth Chart.

    PG: Devin Harris, Jamaal Tinsley, Blake Ahearn SG: Gordon Hayward, Alec Burks, Raja Bell SF: Paul Millsap, Josh Howard/Demarre Carroll (whoever is playing better that night) PF: Derrick Favors, Jeremy Evans (seriously, why doesn't he get playing time?), Paul Millsap C: Al Jefferson, Enes...

    Well, now that we know that we are going to be playing San Antonio...

    should we rest our starters in basically a meaningless game tomorrow against Portland? I say yes. There is no point in risking injury to any of our key players by playing them heavy minutes. I would probably allow the starting five to start the game, but I would only play them in the 1st and 3rd...

    Could the Jazz be like the 1999 New York Knicks?

    If we all don't remember, the 1999 NBA season was also shortened because of a lockout. That year, the New York Knicks made it to the Eastern Conference Playoffs as the #8 seed. New York also barely made it to the playoffs that year (they didn't secure the final spot until the last week of the...

    The Jazz will clinch a playoff spot with a win over Phoenix on Tuesday.

    We are firmly in the driver's seat now. Our win over Orlando coupled with Phoenix's loss to Denver means we can clinch on Tuesday. A win on Tuesday would give us our 35th win and would also give Phoenix their 32nd loss. That means the worst possible record we could finish with would be 35-31 and...

    The Jazz are going to make the Playoffs.

    If we win in Portland on Wednesday (which is likely because Aldridge is out and the Trailblazers will have nothing to play for because they were eliminated from Playoffs contention on Monday), Phoenix loses at home to Oklahoma City, and Houston loses at Dallas, we will take over the 8th spot...

    Please look at this, because it took me a butt-load of time to figure out.

    Though a pain-staking process, I have determined that the Jazz will either been in 6th place or 7th place in the West after tomorrow night. If the Clippers beat Memphis, we will be in 7th place. If the Grizz win in LA, however, we will be in 6th place. Originally, I thought that two games being...

    Gordon Hayward is the Jazz's version of Manu Ginobili.

    Both players are dynamite play makers/scorers that play better of the bench than they do as starters. However, both players receive starter's minutes. I think that Alec Burks is our future at the starting shooting guard position. Josh Howard plays better as a starter than off the bench. I still...
