Our Team Is On The Floor
Following a charismatic 130-126 win in Memphis, the Jazz (9-15) return home to take on the Mavericks (10-16) on a Monday night. Let’s rip the band-aid off all at once, shall we? A loss tonight creates some marginal separation in the Tankathon standings between the Jazz and Blazers, whilst also inching closer to the Hornets’ […]
With tomorrow being the first time teams can trade players signed last offseason, it marks the unofficial beginning of the trade deadline. It’s hard to say what the Jazz goals are this season. It’s been hard to say what they’ve been for most of this rebuild. This is a list of players most likely to […]
The Utah Jazz are having a confusing season, something Jazz fans are getting used to. Like the first two seasons post the Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell trades, the expectation of what is happening is much different than fan expectations. Those first two seasons, we expected the Jazz to lose games, mostly because it was […]
Wow! What a game! In a season of hoping to get a top pick, the Utah Jazz have been back and forth with the wins and losses. Do we want to win? Do we want to lose? Who knows! But it’s sure fun to get a heart-pounding victory after a couple of absolute crapshoots against […]
The Jazz were doomed to fail in the NBA Cup; three out of their four games were 20+ point losses. However, gracious Adam Silver was in his early Christmas spirit by rewarding the Jazz (8-15) with a consolation prize of two matchups, tonight’s being against the injury-riddled Memphis Grizzlies (11-13). Utah was swept 4-0 in […]
In the latest Stein Line, Marc Stein reiterated his latest on the Lauri Markkanen situation. From Stein: Reminder: The Jazz, as Jake and I have been reporting in recent weeks, have left numerous teams with the impression that they want to keep Markkanen and add around him rather than part with him. For a long […]
December sits heavily in the Rocky Mountains. Dense, rich banks of snow burden the crumbling cliff faces. Evergreens don a coat of white without the jostling presence of their warm-weather avian tenants. The air is vacuumed from the very atmosphere; thin, delicate wisps remain the only fleeting taste of oxygen. For many, Winter’s welcome is […]
In 30 years, a group of basketball historians will come together to discuss the career of AJ Dybantsa. Maybe they will talk about his MVP, maybe they’ll bring up his Olympic gold medal, maybe the conversation will center around his NBA championship ring. But when the topic shifts to his career as a BYU Cougar, […]
According to Ben Anderson of KSL, the Indiana Pacers have interest in Walker Kessler. On the most recent episode of the Jazz Notes podcast, he talked about what he’s heard about the Utah Jazz center. From Anderson “I’ve heard the Indiana Pacers have inquired about Walker Kessler for a long time …. a lot. That’s […]
The Utah Jazz didn’t stand much of a chance against the 22-1 Oklahoma City Thunder, falling 131-101 in a game where everything — and I mean everything — went sideways. Lauri Markkanen was out with an illness, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and several Thunder starters rested, and somehow it still felt like OKC was playing at full […]
We’ve got ourselves a very rare situation here. The Utah Jazz, a team sitting just one-half game outside of the Western Conference Play-In borderline, are squaring off against the reigning NBA champions and stakeholders in the Jazz’s first-round pick, the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder jumped way ahead of schedule last season, launching from a […]
The Jazz couldn’t get it done tonight against the New York Knicks, falling 146-112 in what was basically a disaster from the opening tip. Utah started this game like they were still in the locker room, going down 23-0 before Keyonte George finally got the first points of the night at the 5:27 mark. By […]
Ba ba badadaBa ba badadaBa ba badada BAHStart spreadin’ the news…. [ba badada ba]For the second straight day…. [ba badada ba]They faced the Nets, and then the KnicksNew York, New York! That’s right, the juggernaut Utah Jazz — winners of two straight against Houston and Brooklyn — are trotting from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn […]
The Utah Jazz were able to squeeze out a win against the Brooklyn Nets, a team trying to lose games on the back end of a back-to-back, 123-110. The end score is a little deceiving because the Jazz played from behind for most of this game, but went on a run late to pull away. […]
With apologies to those dying to know Cody Williams’ grade for the night, I’m going to avoid writing a paragraph about players who appeared in fewer than 10 minutes tonight. Nothing personal to Cody and Taylor; they just didn’t leave an imprint in this game. I’m still sending a shoutout to Oscar Tshiebwe, though, the […]
Let’s be honest: you didn’t roll out of bed this morning to watch the Jazz take on a depleted Nets team at 5:30 pm in the afternoon. But as Cindi Lauper says, girls just want to have fun. The humble and honest Jazz have yet to face a ‘real’ competitor in the tank race just […]
The NBA world is buzzing with the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo might be available for trade. You can bet that the Utah Jazz will call and ask about it. The problem is, they likely don’t have the assets to make it happen, nor enough players to make it worth it if they did. And it’s […]
Winston Bishop, closeted Wicked fan and resident of the loft in apartment 4D, located somewhere in Los Angeles, California, was burning rubber and bolting to the Mexican border. Between belts of “Popular” and “Defying Gravity”, Winston fights the waning night with his falsetto prowess. With vocal cords, he battles nocturnal demons and wills himself through […]
It’s a yearly tradition in the NBA world to wonder whether this will be the season a potential trade involving Giannis Antetokounmpo might happen. The chatter this season is feeling more and more real, especially with how the Bucks have struggled so much with Giannis’ recent time away because of injury. The question for Utah […]
It’s not been the most glamorous start to the 2025 No. 18 overall pick’s career. Between limited minutes, a few DNPs and some time in the G League, Walter Clayton Jr. is a long ways away from reaching his status as college basketball’s Most Outstanding Player. But on Monday night, his performance against the Rockets […]
If there’s one thing that’s been consistent about the 2025-2026 Utah Jazz, it’s their inconsistent stretches of competent play. One could say that the Jazz are consistently inconsistent. After an embarrassing loss on Sunday to a dominant Houston Rockets team, the Utah Jazz returned home and edged out the Durant-led team and showed some striking […]
Same time, same place—the Houston Rockets remain in Utah and are set to tussle with the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center. The Jazz were thoroughly outmatched last game, as every Jazz player finished the game with a negative +/- except Ace Bailey, who was +2. Kevin Durant scored 25 points on 14 shots in […]
We are only 1 month into college basketball and have about 4 months left. There is a lot of college basketball and international basketball left to be played, but I wanted to put together a rough tier list/board of the top 10 just to see how it’s shaping up. At this time last year, my […]
According to Marc Stein, the Utah Jazz are more likely to make a trade to build around Lauri Markkanen than they are to trade him. From Stein: Utah is one of those seven sub-.500 clubs in the West, but what you repeatedly hear about the Jazz on the NBA grapevine is that they long to […]
The Utah Jazz had a rough outing against the Houston Rockets, losing 129-101. Let’s look at how the team did. Svi Mykhailiuk | B Mykhailiuk was solid in this one overall. Mykhailiuk, to me, is a puddy player, he can plug holes of scoring where needed, and tries on defense. If you’re expecting more than […]
