Our Team Is On The Floor
The Utah Jazz will play in front of their fans for the first time in two weeks on Thursday night. Unfortunately for Jazz fans, it might not be a star-studded affair, as Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George are both listed as questionable for the game against New Orleans. With both player likely out, and the […]
According to Tony Jones, Adam Silver is sending independent doctors to verify the injury to Lauri Markkanen. This news comes on the heels of those independent doctors visiting the Indiana Pacers and pressuring them to medicate an injured player to play. What’s clear from this whole situation is that Adam Silver is not interested in […]
Everybody wants the NBA to fix tanking. Nobody knows how to do it. Tanking. You’ve seen the word thousands of times in your recent social media doom scroll. You’ve heard it repeated countless times on television and podcasts to the point of semantic satiation — the word is losing all meaning. It’s just a jumble […]
According to Kevin Reynolds, Lauri Markkanen was injured in practice and will receive an MRI. From Reynolds: Utah Jazz star Lauri Markkanen could miss some time after suffering an injury in practice on Wednesday. Markkanen will be evaluated for a right ankle and right hip injury, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. […]
Things move quickly in the NBA news cycle. It’s been a few weeks since the Utah Jazz were chosen to be the scapegoats for Adam Silver’s terrible plan to flatten lottery odds in 2019. Instead of the flattened odds preventing tanking, they made it worse by incentivizing middle-lottery teams to lose more. Utah had to […]
According to Sarah Todd, it appears that Vince Williams Jr. may have suffered a season-ending injury in the Jazz’s game against the Houston Rockets. If you haven’t seen the play, Williams took a shot from Tari Eason coming down the court, and his knee appeared to hyperextend sideways. After the game, it looks like Keyonte […]
The Jazz fell to the Rockets, 105-125, in a defeat that was all but assured ever since the opening quarter. Not that Jazz fans are complaining; with the next two games being against the Pelicans, where losses are far from guaranteed, an easy and relaxed addition to the teams ping pong balls versus Houston is […]
This was the news greeted by fans at 1 AM, as the team is headed to the Lone Star State to wrap up their two-game road trip against the Houston Rockets — wait for it….on National Television! Ever since the Jazz pulled the plug on Operation Jaren, Nurkic hasn’t been able to grace the floor […]
Per NBA insider Chris Haynes, the Jazz will be without backup center Jusuf Nurkić moving forward due to an urgent medical procedure: I’m not a doctor, but I figure this procedure is urgent because Jusuf Nurkić is playing too well. For the Jazz, who are fighting to keep pace in a hotly contested race for […]
The Utah Jazz are going to be in a very tight tanking race to end this season. Right now, they’re competing with the Kings, Pacers, Nets, Pelicans, and Wizards to jump into the top-5 come lottery night. A team to watch is the New Orleans Pelicans, who are not incentivized to tank at all this […]
According to Jake Fischer, the Utah Jazz are “determined to retain … Walker Kessler.” From Fischer, who was talking about the Indiana Pacers and their recent deal to trade for Ivica Zubac: Trading for Zubac likely cements the Pacers’ return to title contention in 2026-27 once Tyrese Haliburton is back from his crushing Achilles’ tear […]
The Jazz win a massive tank battle! The Jazz lost a game against the Grizzlies that they led and controlled most of the first half, but fizzled out in the second half—losing the third and fourth quarters by a combined 21 points. It was actually a very important game. Before the game started, the Jazz […]
The Jazz snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and lost 114-123. Depending on who you ask this was either a masterclass in tanking, or an embarrassing implosion. This game also featured many familiar faces for both teams, (Hello Kyle Anderson, and Taylor Hendricks) as well as an emotional homecoming for Jaren Jackson Jr. Ace […]
The Utah Jazz and Memphis Grizzlies will have a tank-off their first game post all-star break and it will be mostly a competition of young guys in this one. The flattened odds that Adam Silver set up are to blame for this game and situation. The Grizzlies would likely not care about losing games if […]
There’s a plague passing through the National Basketball Association, and it’s not tanking. Sure, the act of deliberately putting your team at a disadvantage in the hopes of improving draft odds is detrimental to the spirit of competition — when one of the teams doesn’t care to win, why should the fans? But the NBA […]
The latest news in the Tank Wars comes from the Sacramento Kings, the cute little participant in the latest tank discussion. Today, in some moves that may not even change the outcome of games, the Kings announced that Domantas Sabonis will be out the rest of the season for left knee surgery. There’s no doubt […]
One of the new regular articles I’m wanting to do is a Utah Jazz Question of the Day. I’ll do these as often as I can with questions I hope our community would like to discuss. If you have any questions you want to go over, let me know in the comments. For today’s question, […]
A letter written by the hand of General William Culvahouse Hardy, dated Wednesday, February 18, 2026, C.E. This war is not what it used to be. The times have changed faster than anyone could have predicted, and suddenly, nothing feels familiar. I now hardly remember the taste of defeat. The comfort of pre-emptively waving the […]
With the unfair and unprecedented fines against the Utah Jazz and Indiana Pacers last week, there has been a tipping point of frustration for fans and media over how poorly things have gone for the NBA under the leadership of Adam Silver. Adam Silver has done one thing right in his time as Commissioner: he […]
In our latest NBA Reacts poll, I wanted to see how good Jazz fans think the Jazz will be next season. With the addition of Jaren Jackson Jr. last week, the Utah Jazz became the center of NBA attention, but not for the right reasons. Adam Silver, in typical form, fined the Jazz for resting […]
According to Tony Jones, who was on local Utah Radio, Sam Presti is the cause behind all of the problems and scrutiny of the Utah Jazz in hopes of getting the Thunder the Jazz’s top-8 protected pick. The frustrating part is that it did work in a few ways. The NBA has already fined the Utah […]
After a feisty and generally entertaining 48 minutes of basketball, the Utah Jazz ultimately fell to the Portland Trailblazers, 119-135. But hey! This loss with zero minutes of Lauri Markkanen will allow us to dodge the $500,000 anti-tank hammer viciously swung down on the… win with 25 minutes of Lauri Markkanen. Adds up. Brice Sensabaugh […]
The Jazz lose a sloppy game 135-119 to the Portland Trail Blazers. Svi kept it close in the 4th quarter for a while, but Portland proved to be too good, and cruised to a comfortable win. Ace Bailey – B Bailey had a ridiculous dunk tonight, where he faked a shot, lobbed it off the […]
Adam Silver fined the Utah Jazz $500,000 today for decisions prioritizing draft position over winning. Adam Silver’s full statement states, “Overt behavior like this that prioritizes draft position over winning undermines the foundation of NBA competition, and we will respond accordingly to any further actions that compromise the integrity of our games.” It’s interesting that […]
The NBA announced that Ace Bailey will be added to the Rising Stars game over All-Star Weekend. Bailey has been selected to replace Cooper Flagg who is out with a foot sprain. It’s a big honor for Bailey, who deserved a right to be on the team before the injury to Flagg. For the season, […]
