Latest news and updates about the Jazz
After an exhausting, long NBA season, it was nice to go about Sunday’s game stress-free. There were some stakes involved as the Lakers could still finish either the third or fourth seed. However, LA pretty quickly took control of the game and moved into cruise control as early as the start of the second half. […]
The Utah Jazz had their final game of the season, but also the rebuild. It will not be remembered long as the outcome was expected, an easy win for the Lakers 131-107. There were some things to take away for the Jazz. They played hard in this one, much like they’ve done all season, regardless […]
The Lakers closed the regular season with a 131-107 blowout victory over the Utah Jazz on Sunday night. The team played the first half at full strength, but sat LeBron James and Luke Kennard for the second half. It mattered little as the Jazz are one of the sorrier teams of the season and had […]
The Utah Jazz are planning on winning in the coming years, and Yaxel Lendeborg should be a serious candidate for them even if they land somewhere in the top 5 come May/June. Draft Philosophy First, I want to start with my personal draft philosophy and why I believe Yaxel checks every box of what a […]
The Utah Jazz will take on the Los Angeles Lakers in what is more than just the season finale. It feels more like the finale to four years of rebuild. Tonight will be the last time the Utah Jazz will go into a game for the foreseeable future with hopes of losing. This offseason will […]
In our most recent Utah Jazz Fan Reacts survey, we’re looking forward to what is likely going to be an incredibly consequential offseason. Utah may have to make some tough decisions as they look at their roster. This season, the Utah Jazz have been playing to position themselves as well as they can for the […]
According to Shams Charania, the Utah Jazz signed Hayden Gray to a two-year contract. Gray is known as a defense-first guard who fits the mold of recent signings the Jazz have made. We saw the Jazz sign Bez Mbeng to a two-year contract, who was also a high-level defender in college. At UC San Diego, […]
The long NBA season comes to an end on Sunday with the Lakers (52-29) taking on the tanking Jazz (22-59) on Sunday evening. Los Angeles has won the three previous meetings with Utah this season and is looking for the season sweep. Start time and TV schedule Who: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Utah Jazz When: 5:30 p.m. PT, […]
If the Utah Jazz were fined $500,000 for suspected tanking in a game that they won, Adam Silver had better be aligning the crosshairs of his catastrophic death laser (every NBA commissioner has had one since Larry O’Brien had his commissioned back in ‘83) directly at the Memphis Grizzlies. If Utah’s tanking was worth half […]
It was Fan Appreciation Night in Salt Lake and boy, did the home team give the fans something to appreciate, as the Jazz beat down the shorthanded Grizzlies by 46. Two Jazz bench players recorded triple doubles, a feat unparalleled in living memory. Kennedy Chandler – A- Kennedy’s speed is reminiscent of Isaiah Collier, but […]
With the Brooklyn Nets season coming to an end, the focus remained where it’s been for weeks, months, maybe even years on Friday night… the tank. And with some help from the Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings, the Nets clinched the third seed in the May 10 Draft Lottery. There is even a chance Brooklyn […]
I apologize first of all to you, reader, to have to strengthen your mental fortitude to have the mental capacity to withstand the horrors you will certainly witness tonight. These teams have no business facing each other in a late April matchup — they’d probably prefer a 50-point blowout loss against the top teams in […]
Of course, Utah is throwing every good luck charm they have into acquiring a top 3 selection in this year’s draft. AJ Dybantsa would be a match made in heaven. Darryn Peterson has the best fit. Cameron Boozer follows in Papa Carlos’ footsteps. Utah is also perfectly fine standing pat at 4, if it means […]
In a game the Utah Jazz had to lose, they got the job done in a big way against the New Orleans Pelicans, losing 156-137. Defense was absolutely optional in this one, but it was exceptionally bad for the Utah Jazz, who somehow gave up 156 points. But this is not something to be shamed […]
Jazz lose. Nets win. You can’t ask for a more successful night at this point in the season. Hopefully the Kings can win tonight to complete a perfect night for the Jazz. Cody Williams – C Cody had a pair of airballs tonight, and also went 0-5 from deep, but his midrange shot continues to […]
The Utah Jazz are rolling into New Orleans for a vital end-of-season game. Like their counterparts at the top of the Western Conference standings, every game at this point is important for seeding. For the Jazz, of course, it’s ticking up the losses column that matters most; the Jazz hold the tiebreaker over the Sacramento […]
I was very tempted to tally every Jazzman tonight to a D or lower, but I had to remind myself who we’re dealing with. No one who is sane thought there was possibly a conceivable chance that the Jazz could have the hope of maybe winning this game by a long shot. The Jazz defense […]
Entering the final stretch of the 2025-2026 season, there was never a question whether the Rockets should win against a young, inexperienced, and oft injured Utah Jazz. The question was, can the Rockets get up big and be able to rest their key players in the 4th quarter, rather than let yet another inferior team […]

Instead of talking solely about tonight’s opponent the Utah Jazz, I’m going to use this opportunity to talk about the teams in the lottery and discuss which team would win if the NBA rigged it and had their way. We’ll go in reverse order of standings from the day this is written (April 2). 13. […]
The Utah Jazz are signing Bez Mbeng to a two-year contract, according to Shams Charania via Mbeng’s agent. This comes after hearing from Sarah Todd that Mbeng would be signed through the end of the season. This is great news for Mbeng, who brings defensive intensity to the Jazz on the perimeter. It’s a sign […]

The Jazz have been all business for Tanking and Co™ all of March. In fact, before tonight, they’d lost 10 of their last 11 games, which included a loss against Denver back in Colorado. The Nuggets, on the other hand, have subtly held an 8-2 record with the league’s second-longest winning streak. Despite the annual […]

The Utah Jazz are nearing the end of another season at the bottom of the rankings. Looking forward to next season, the question is going to be, how good can the Jazz be? The major issue with this team during this rebuild has been the defense. At no point has the Utah Jazz defense been […]
