When it was all said and done, the Utah Jazz had blown out the Detroit Pistons in a Tuesday night matchup that meant everything to them. As a team, it almost couldn’t get any better than how they played with each other, shooting an astounding 81 percent in the first quarter, going 17-21 and essentially […]

The fallout between Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert and former teammate Gordon Hayward, now of the Boston Celtics, revolved around the communication (or lack thereof) between the two stars. Gobert is still hurt by the way Hayward handled his move to Boston, first announcing it through a heartfelt piece on The Players’ Tribune, but mostly not […]

As the saying goes, “when it rains, it pours.” That could be what the Utah Jazz felt on Tuesday night, as everything seemed to go their way on the court against the Detroit Pistons. One play during the third quarter even summed up how the basketball gods smiled at them all night long, as Donovan […]

The Utah Jazz have been one of the hottest teams the last couple of months and if the season ended today, they would be in the playoffs as the eight seed. They aren’t out of the water yet, though, and they still need a strong finish over the last 15 games to guarantee that they […]

The results are in and they pretty much as we always expected. Playing in the Western Conference is brutal for any team looking to be competitive. It’s an insurmountable fact that the 15 conference team will always end the season with a slug out, and some deserving team will end up missing out due to […]

For the first time during the 2017-18 NBA season, it seems that the Utah Jazz are expecting to activate point guard Dante Exum this week. According to a tweet on Monday afternoon from Jazz reporter Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune, Utah is getting Exum ready to play this week. “Barring a setback, the plan is […]

The NBA’s most recent partnership with Nike has been very fruitful to say the least. This season, Nike agreed to create custom City Edition jerseys for all 30 NBA teams. The results have been inconsistent with some teams have amazing jerseys while others may need to consider a jersey change. One of the fan favorites […]

Thanks in large part to the outstanding play of Donovan Mitchell, the Utah Jazz are riding the wave of a five-game winning streak.

The Utah Jazz have turned a lot of heads lately by having a hot streak going — winning 15 of their last 17  outings. While the impressive play of rookie Donovan Mitchell has been a big reason for it, their defense is the unsung hero that has allowed them to string a lot of wins […]

After losing Gordon Hayward to free agency, the Utah Jazz were supposed to go into rebuilding mode as they tucked their tails underneath them and scampered out of the playoff conversation. Instead, Head Coach Quin Snyder has done wonders with this team. It could be argued he’s done more with less than anyone else in […]

Donovan Mitchell has become quite the story this year, and he looks like a guy who can be a star in this league for the Utah Jazz. He has racked up a lot of rookie records and according to the Utah Jazz broadcast, he is on track to wrap up another one. He is averaging […]

The Utah Jazz have been one of the hottest teams in the league despite a rough start to the season, plagued by injuries and the blunt departure of star forward Gordon Hayward in the offseason. Oddly enough, the team found itself in 10th place in the Western Conference standing and rallied to win 15 of […]

Unlike in previous years, the current batch of rookies has been more active on social media especially in pulling off some jokes, even trolling on their teammates. Many have noticed that, including Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert, who said that he sees them being too comfortable with their antics on Twitter and Instagram. The French […]

Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder is often seen during games just sitting on the bench, giving instructions to his players, and calling the plays during timeouts.

When it comes to Utah Jazz rising star rookie shooting guard Donovan Mitchell, it’s no secret that he’s going to be a stellar player in the NBA for years to come. But exactly how well has he played so far in just the first 60 games of his NBA career? Mitchell joined Philadelphia 76ers star […]

With only about 20 games left in the NBA season, it’s safe to say that Utah Jazz point guard Donovan Mitchell was the steal of the draft. Many will argue Kyle Kuzma for that award — especially delirious Lakers fans — but it’s Mitchell through and through. The Jazz picked Mitchell at No. 13. He […]

Utah Jazz forward Jae Crowder became part of a lot of headlines recently when he received a shot from Minnesota Timberwolves swingman Jimmy Butler.

In wake of the crazy 116-108 win by the Utah Jazz over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night, many people are still talking about Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague’s body-check of Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio during the fourth quarter.

It seems that Minnesota Timberwolves forward Nemanja only surfaces in headlines for odd reasons. The last time most people probably paid attention to Bjelica was when he had a semi-brawl with Orlando Magic scrub, Arron Afflalo, back in January. Since then, there was a dearth of Nemanja news – until last night, when the Serbian […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves were in Salt Lake City on Friday for a road game against the Utah Jazz.

Donovan Mitchell is one of the biggest surprises in the NBA this season with a great chance to be named the Rookie of the Year. He’s a confident guy and has felt like he belonged in the NBA, but he didn’t expect all of this to happen, especially this quickly. Sam Amick of USA Today […]

Following a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers last month, newly-acquired Utah Jazz forward Jae Crowder has fit in quite nicely with his new team. He has really taken a liking to Jazz head coach Quin Snyder, who Crowder says reminds him of Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens. According to a couple of tweets today […]

Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles is known as Average Joe to most team faithful, after his constant comparisons to run-of-the-mill jobs for a guy with his commonplace looks. Ranging from math teacher to accountant, Ingles has heard it all as a cult hero who co-hosts a weekly radio show in Salt Lake City. “Anything that’s like […]

Former Utah Jazz great Karl Malone recently pulled a fast one on New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis.

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell is beginning to have a strong following for how good he has played so far in his first season in the NBA.
