I'm not sure if someone will be starting a Western Conference Prediction Thread (someone still should), but I thought it would be fun/sad/interesting to have a bottom 10 in the NBA prediction contest. I'll also be using this thread to post periodic updates to the tank race. Please Post with #1...

I was listening to Zach Lowe on the way to work this morning and he had a podcast about favorite non-Finals NBA teams. It made me think of what my favorite non-Finals Jazz teams were. I think some good candidates are the 83-84 team that had the franchises first winning record, the 91-92 team...

I don't think most people are too concerned about the Jazz being too good, but let's just pretend. The Jazz are projected to win 18 games, so let's just say they win 30+, what do you think is the most likely reason. (We're almost there, so just one more off season poll to pass the time)

I think most of agree that Lauri and Kessler will be in the starting lineup, pick 3 more. The poll question only allows 10 possible responses, so if you have someone else, put them in the comments.

Ryan Smith and Qualtrics can thank me later.

I was listening to the game theory podcast* and it was actually pretty interesting. They were discussing trade targets and specifically guys who are still on their rookie deals in what they were calling, "second draft" guys. I've heard that term used differently, but for the sake of this...

Fans are irrational and we worry about dumb stuff. Even if it isn't a big concern, what are most worried about for this coming season? Can only pick one, but please comment if there is something I missed.

One of the first things I noticed when I moved to Indiana is how many houses have basketball hoops. For example, in my culdesac, there 6 out of 9 houses that have basketball standards. I think the only place I've lived that is close to this is Utah. Growing up in West Jordan Utah, there were...

This will be a normal mock draft, no trades, just pick for the team at the draft spot you are given. I am thinking that we should either go to pick 43 or 53 based on those being the Jazz second round selections, but let's see how many participants we get (I will multiply the number of...

This will be a full 59 pick NBA mock draft with participants representing teams and allowed to make trades on behalf of their team for picks or players. Please use ESPN trade machine or something similar to verify the trade is legal. I'm looking for 10 participants who will be representing 3...

I'm apathetic about the draft right now, I probably started caring too early, and so I'm clearing my head by thinking big picture. I want the Jazz to build a team based on two way players. I would prefer to watch a team filled with guys that can both get stops and make open shots, than a team...

Is there anybody on in to racing? I didn't think I would ever be interested, but I went to my first race two weeks ago and I'm kind of hooked. I am only following Indycar for now, but will be looking in to other racing leagues soon.

It feels like Lauri stock is at an all time low and Collins stock is at an all time high on Jazzfanz. It made me think of this poll question. The scenario: The Jazz decide that they would like to have one, but only one of Collins or Markkanen next year. They want a play finisher that can...

I thought this was pretty cool. View: https://twitter.com/BrooksAD/status/1912981352506437912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

If the Jazz win then they will almost certainly be second in the tank standings (20% chance at the 6th pick), but will ensure that the Wolves are in the play in and at the very least improve their pick by about 4 spots. If the Jazz lose they will almost certainly be tied for first in the tank...

I'm just curious what NBA or general Basketball podcasts people are listening to? I used to only listen to Locke, but ever since HH and Elizah put out their pod I've been listening to others. The main two that I listen to are the Hoops Collective and the Game Thoery podcast. I think the...

I went through our entire schedule and found 10 games where we won or played very close (within 5 points) with good teams (playoff teams above .500). Here is a chart I created to look for patterns. Here are a couple of thoughts: - The majority (6/10) of these games happened in February. -...

I'm curious to see what Jazzfanzzers believe. Here's a few things to chew on: https://www.deseret.com/sports/2024/05/12/inside-danny-ainges-first-ever-time-in-the-nba-lottery-drawing-room/ https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/unsalvageable/episodes/Sarah-Was-In-The-Draft-Lottery-Room-e2k83r9...

We have 28 games remaining. Lauri has played 41 games so far. At this point last year he had played 46 games and only played 9 games post all star break. Not part of the poll, but in the comments feel free to guess the amount of games that Collins, Sexton, Clarkson, and Kessler will play.

We now have 4 picks in the 2025 draft. Our own 1st round pick, Minnesota's 1st round pick, Clipper's 2nd round pick, and very likely the Dallas 2nd round pick. Same as other similar games we've played. Pick the final draft position after the lottery and for every spot + or - away you will get...
