Jazz vs Nets player grades: Keyonte is literally glowing red-hot right now
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 […]
Utah’s tank-integrity is on the line vs Brooklyn Nets: preview, injuries, how to watch
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 […]
Utah’s indecisive rebuild cost them a chance at Giannis Antetokounmpo
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 […]
The Downbeat: the Utah Jazz have an identity crisis
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 […]
Is a move for Giannis Antetokounmpo worth it for the Utah Jazz?
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 […]
What did Will Hardy say after Walter Clayton Jr.’s impressive performance?
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 […]
Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz: recap and final score
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 […]
Houston Rockets vs. Utah Jazz: Preview, Start Time, How to Watch
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 […]
NBA Draft: My Current Top 10 Draft Prospects
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 […]
NBA Trade Rumors: Utah Jazz about to build around Lauri Markkanen?
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 […]
Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets: Player Grades
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 […]
Recap: Utah Jazz were also present in Houston’s 28-point win, reports suggest
The Houston Rockets and the Utah Jazz are both full-fledged members of the National Basketball Association, believe it or not. As Houston frolicked across the Delta Center floor behind Alperen Sengun and Kevin Durant’s combined 52 points, the Utah Jazz fell behind quickly and decisively, essentially falling out of contention by the halftime buzzer. Our […]
Houston Rockets vs. Utah Jazz: Preview, Start Time, How to Watch
The Utah Jazz are hosting the Houston Rockets for some matinee Sunday basketball. This will be the first of a back-to-back mini-series between the Rockets and Jazz at the Delta Center. The Rockets roll into Salt Lake City with a record of 12-4, putting them third in the Western Conference Standings. Houston’s trade for Kevin […]
Utah Jazz vs Sacramento Kings recap and final score: Okay offense and non-existent defense
In a showcase of terrible defense, the Sacramento Kings lost to our loveable and upstart Utah Jazz team tonight 119-128. This Sacramento team is going nowhere fast and clearly seem to be sellers…Demar Derozan, Zach Lavine, Domantas Sabonis, and probably anyone else not named Keegan Murray could or should find themselves with new jerseys by […]
Utah Jazz vs Sacramento Kings: preview, start time, how to watch
The Utah Jazz will take on the Sacramento Kings in a surprisingly important matchup. Utah and Sacramento are currently tied with 5 wins in the lottery standings and a loss tonight would be huge for both teams in positioning. Speaking of positioning, it’s something the Jazz should really consider worrying about. The Jazz owe their […]
NBA Trade Rumors: Interest in Jusuf Nurkic of the Utah Jazz?
According to Jake Fischer, Jusuf Nurkic may be generating trade interest. From Fischer: Jusuf Nurkic, meanwhile, has performed well enough in Utah that he’s also expected to generate some interest from rival teams… Since Walker Kessler went down for the season, Nurkic has performed well. His ability to rebound, pass the ball, and shoot well […]
The Downbeat: Month 1 of the Great Tank Race
Come one, and come all, as the NBA’s Great Tank Race is in full swing, now just one month into the regular season. Oh, and what a marvelous and festive occasion it is to gather as a community and celebrate our sport’s most prestigious and fiercely uncompetitive pastime: Losing basketball games at the highest rate […]
Warriors vs. Jazz Player Grades: Keyonte George shines in Utah loss
Lackluster offense and bad rebounding define Utah’s loss against Golden State . Here are the grades from tonight. (Note on Grading Scale) All performances are relative. We won’t expect the same from Jusuf Nurkic as we do Lauri Markkanan. That said, if someone plays well, they get a good grade. If they play poorly, they […]
Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors recap and final score: A lackluster offense versus literally Steph Curry
The Jazz were welcomed into the Warriors’ building losing four of their last four games, a majority of them coming off double-digit deficits. It was the back end of a back-to-back with their latest loss being a clutch-time heartbreak against the LA Lakers. Dubs came in this game missing three rotational players, including Draymond and […]
Utah Jazz at Golden State Warriors preview: Injuries, how to watch and more
The Utah Jazz just had of the most gut-wrenching losses of the season on Sunday against the Lakers. With one last chance to tie or take the lead, a Keyonte George fall after making contact with Marcus Smart blew the play up before it even started. It was the Jazz’s third loss in a row. […]
Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Lakers: recap and final score
In a heartbreaker for the Utah Jazz, the Los Angeles Lakers pulled off a close win in Salt Lake City, 108-106. The controversy at the end is the story of this one. On the final play of the game, Utah was trying to inbound the ball, and Keyonte George looked like he might have been […]
Preview: Utah Jazz welcome a second helping of the Los Angeles Lakers
Happy Thanksgiving week to all who remain thankful for the state of professional basketball in the Beehive State. Yes, the Utah Jazz are very bad, but not quite bad enough to compete with the embodiment of toxic sludge flowing across the depths of the NBA standings (still nine teams with five or fewer wins? That’s […]

Today in NBA Trade Rumors! Lauri Markkanen trade rumor? Indeed! If there is one thing that’s clear this last offseason, it’s that the Detroit Pistons want Lauri Markkanen.

Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder recap and final score
The Utah Jazz ended up losing by a large margin to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 144-112. It was a tale of two halves for the Jazz, who looked like two different teams before and after halftime. The Jazz came out hot in the first half, hitting threes at an insane clip. No one was hotter […]
