It's a challenge for me to watch Utah games live on TV due to the time difference. I watched SAC game live and still can't forget what Gobert did pretty much single-handedly for 6-7 straight defensive possessions in Q4. It was a god-like performance I've not seen since ORL's Dwight Howard. With...

Not to mention Utah could have easily beaten SAC and LAC and had a 5 game winning streak now. People would've been so certain of a title run. Just because one shot rattled in. That's outcome bias.

The biggest question for the Utah Jazz before the season was if DM could take a step forward. He is this team's ceiling because it's basically impossible to win a title without an elite player (minus '04 Pistons) and DM is the only player on the roster with that potential. With about 10% of the...

Bradley MUST play about 15 minutes tonight. There is no other way as the small ball lineups have been hideous at rebounding.

With Ed Davis out we have to rely on Tony Bradley because he rebounds. Remember the little stretch last game vs SAC with a small lineup: 0 rebounds. In Mudiay's absence Ingles and Donovan's minutes will increase.

Can't believe my eyes when reading some of those posts. It reminds me of GSW fans attitude towards Steph Curry when he was getting injured continuously. They almost burnt the arena once the owner decided to trade Monta Ellis away and gamble on the glass boy. I'm not comparing Curry and X at all...

BBref's individual OFFRTG and DEFRTG measure something completely different. For BBRef, OFFRTG represents an estimate of the number of points the player scores per 100 possessions, whereas NBA.com's is showing how many points his team scores per 100 when he is on the floor. The BBref individual...

Conley has positive NETRTG, as seen here.

This is supported by his 76.5 OFFRTG and 92.5 DEFRTG. He has a team-low -16.1 NETRTG. Bojan, DM and Gobert lead the pack with similar NETRTGs (+18, +18, +16). Mudiay is next with +14 and there is a large gap. So early in the season but it's obvious Ed Davis and Mudiay have had contrasting starts...

DM completely shut Buddy Hield down last game. His defensive improvement is remarkable. This game he'll be assigned to Devin Booker who is harder to guard. Rudy and Conley should start scoring more points. Currently Mudiay is Utah's 3rd best scorer. PHO leads the league in NETRTG despite having...

Well, Bud always kicks Q's butt. And he doesn't need elite players either. Most of you should remember a tanking ATL coached by Bud swept the season series vs a strong Jazz team too. Overall I think this is an embarrassing L that may still be helpful in the long run. And I wrote here the day...

Looks like we now have a 2nd Youtube channel on Utah Jazz besides James Hansen's

Thibs on ESPN now.. comparing donovan Mitchell's play with Derrick Rose back in Istanbul 2010. He reminds D-Rose continued the momentum and won the MVP in the NBA. WOW

Yes, it was on ESPN2 and Thibs was the commentator. In one case announcer even asked "why doesn't Donovan Mitchell have the ball" or such, to which Thibs replied "They're running different sets (in Q4), trying to put Gobert on P&R"

Thibs commented 5 times on ESPN that they needed to give the ball to DM but they never did

Gobert has +20 France basically killed USA with him on the floor
