    Clarkson mentioned in inaugural NBA.com Clutch Player Ladder

    There will be a long overdue Jerry West Clutch Player of the year award this year and NBA.com posted their first Ladder yesterday. De'Aaron Fox is currently in the top spot followed by Luka, DeRozan, Mitchell and Brunson. The Next Five section includes Jordan Clarkson at #8 with just SGA and JB...

    Mitchell outdoes Luka for NBA performance of the year

    71 points on comeback win, including the identical Luka scenario with four seconds remaining down 3 and forced to miss the second, hit the rim and take it to OT which he did. Highest scoring game ever by a Cav!!! Wolves may be cursing us but Cavs love the Jazz !:p View...

    Time to shake it up!

    Buyers or sellers, buyers or sellers? Why does it have to be either or? Why give up draft assets now when we don’t have to? And how do we know that any of the usual suspects which by the way are going to cost us in real talent and draft capital are going to really be difference makers? We have...

    Where is the damn game thread?

    Sitting here in my favorite neighborhood casino sipping on a bloody Mary waiting for the game to start! Gilbert looks decent in his first time out! Every time I switch to the Cleveland Orlando game they got the scrubs in so now Mitchell. Surprisingly of all of our traded Stars O’Neill seems to...

    https://theathletic.com/3499618/2022/08/15/rudy-gobert-timberwolves/?amp=1 Excellent read for Wolves and Rudy fans concerned about recent prognostications from sports and betting platforms.

    “Hustle” (Juancho) Review

    For those that have been waiting to see what the latest Adam Sandler / Juancho Hernangomez collaboration has to offer, it is now available and streaming on Netflix. If you're a fan of the rags to riches "Rocky" genre (who isn't), you're likely to enjoy this one. Somewhat of a departure for...

    Clique Bait

    I’ve quit this site before and am on the verge of doing so again. I have a very full and busy life with family and friends, so this is just a little indulgence for my favorite team. For that reason I spend most of what little time I have in the Utah Jazz section of the site. What I’ve noticed is...

    Playoff Scenarios

    Chances are that provided the Jazz win out and keep the one seed, that when the play-in dust is settled, we’ll get the Warriors first round and the Suns will play the Lakers. This assumes that the Lakers stay at 7 and beat the Warriors at home in their play-in. It also assumes that the Warriors...

    Dragan Bender on Waivers

    Is he really that bad? I think we desperately need a stretch 4/5 with length to throw at teams. Am I pipe dreamin? WTF NOT?

    Addressing our deficit at power forward

    So, though I am a huge proponent of the Exum/Clarkson trade and I can understand the basis for the Jeff Green waiver, the net result is that our undersized team just got smaller. I mean I think I realize now that it's Juwan Morgan that will be called up to address the need at power forward and...

    Why we sleeping so hard on Danilo Gallinari?

    Expiring deal, OKC is committed to the rebuild and wants to get something. Galo can flat out ball and reportedly has some interest from Portland, Chicago and New York I think I read. Story says it's going to take a first to get him, but would it take a first if we took Paul off their hands...

    Hero Ball

    Can't stop thinking about that final 20 seconds of the Milwaukee game. Mitchell has Connoughton on him and Bogey has Bledsoe on him and yet Mitchell looks him off. At this point Bogey sets a screen for him and tails out for the corner three kick-out option. Mitchell proceeds to drive the lane...

    Toronto stops Lakers 7 game winning streak

    Without Lowry and without Ibaka, pretty impressive! Raptors had over thirty fast break points last night (average over 23, highest in the league). The Laker's had a seven game win streak going, best in nine seasons, because they're skilled, strong and gargantuan IMO. They made us look like...

    Props to Pops

    Always been a bit of a San Antonio fan going back to the ABA days. Only former ABA team to really flourish in the NBA. Only "small market" team to win multiple championships. Still, with his petulant disposition, I grew to dislike Pops. What he did to Kawhi was shady too IMO. Still, he's a...

    "Spida" Man has new role as Captain America

    https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/basketball/donovan-spida-mitchell-turning-into-usa-basketballs-captain-america-1821485/ Coach Gregg Popovich wants Mitchell to not just be a scorer but to “affect everybody else’s game.” He did that in a scrimmage Wednesday by scoring eight points, dishing...

    NBA.com West Power Rankings

    https://www.nba.com/article/2019/07/29/western-conference-power-rankings-mid-summer-edition Did you see this? Jazz are at #3 behind Clips and Nugs. What stood out to me was how succinct but well reasoned these evaluations/predictions were. For example: after mentioning our less than stellar...

    William Howard

    How do you guys feel about this signing? Just so many question marks for me. I mean he might be great seeing as we went to the trouble of buying out his Euro contract. But why no on-court minutes in Vegas? Did he hit the floor in SLC? Just found out he was on both rosters cause I didn't see...
