    **Official Thank You Kobe Bryant from Jazzfanz Thread***

    I know there's another thread mentioning his death, but reading through it, there's some disrespectful things said on there too. I want a nothin' but love for Kobe thread, by the Jazzfanz. I think the right thing to do is for BASKETBALL FANS to share their Kobe moments and keepin it respectful...

    THE PERFECT backup Jazz Center; Boban Marjanovic

    Boban Marjanovic is a 4 year NBA vet, who is long and skilled. Although he is 31 years old, he is very reliable while on the floor. The downside is he can only play around 15 minutes per game because of his speed and his knees. While on the floor, he is rated as one of the most productive...

    ***Official Trade Royce O'neale for anything thread***

    I am absolutely done with this guy. How in the hell is he a starting Power Forward in the NBA? Averaging 28.3 Minutes per game (+8 MPG from previous year) 5.8 Points per game (only +0.6 PPG from previous year) 0.3 Blocks per game (ZERO increase from previous year) 0.8 Steals per game (only +0.1...

    Jerry Sloan is Dying from Dementia and Parkinsons

    https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2845921 I just though I would share this if it hasn't been shared already. He was the heart and soul of our team for many many years. He led us to our most successful times as an organization. We all knew it was going to come to an end, and the end is near.

    Derrick Favors official appreciation thread. Thank you to our longest tenured Jazzman

    I think that this is appropriate for a guy who spent almost 9 years with the Utah Jazz. Through the down times, we relied on Favors and he always came through. He has gave us his heart and soul resulting in his drive and defense. He could've left multiple times, but always stuck by us through...

    Gail Miller rewards Jazz executives that do a bad job. Your input.

    We'll it's happened again. Dennis Lindsey (previous GM of the Jazz) has been promoted for doing a horrible Job. (Again? you ask?) Yes. KOC, was notorious for making terrible decisions as our previous GM and was promoted on August 6th 2012, and we brought Dennis Lindsey in as our new GM. Ok, so...

    Uta vs. Hou: Game 2 off/def strategy change up?

    During game 1, Quinn and the Jazz executed a defensive strategy that led to our loss. It didn't make sense at all. We not only forced, but encouraged and allowed James Harden to go to the strong side, forcing him into a center lane penetration almost every time he had the ball. Our defensive...

    76'ers and Jazz interested in Mirotic, Pelicans seek 1st rounder in return..

    https://www.thescore.com/nba/news/1709059/report-76-ers-jazz-interested-in-mirotic-pels-seek-1st-rounder-in-return I have always thought that Mirotic would thrive in the Jazz system. However I am not 100% confident in our negotiating skills to acquire him. I think a 1st round pic needs to be...

    IS RUDY GOBERT GIVING HIS "ALL" ON DEFENSE?

    Is it just me, or does it seem like Rudy could be doing so much more on the defensive end? It seems like his timing has been off all year. Maybe this seems super critical, but I have watched almost every game this season and more often than I would like to admit, I have seen Gobert body up on D...

    The NBA Center position is dead, or is it??? (Gobert Love)

    For years teams have worked to transformed their Centers into mid to full range jump shooters. Some players (Like JaVale McGee) have claimed that the Center position is one that the NBA is trying to phase out. I call that a bunch of BS. The fact is there are not Centers who want to go through...

    Jazz & Lakers rivalry is back! Who ends up on top?

    I've been living in Vegas for almost 10 years and a Jazz fan for 30 years. Yesterday I went to put in a sports bet and Vegas lines had Utah Jazz with a projected win total of 49 games and L.A. Lakers at 48.5. Last year the Jazz won 48 and lost 34 games. Is it just me or does it seem that the...

    Utah Jazz fanz in Las Vegas???

    I was just curious if there are any Utah Jazz fanz in Las Vegas, or if there are any fans that will be in Las Vegas for game 4? I am from Utah and moved to Las Vegas several years ago. I haven't met any real Jazz fanz out here, but was wondering if there are any on this site, or any that are...

    10 games remaining/ Keys to success (4th seed)

    With 10 games remaining in a very close Western Conference Playoff race. Our fate lies in not only what we can control (wins and gameplay) but also what we cant control (success of SAS, OKC, NOP & MINN) 1. Goes without saying, we need to win. There is no tomorrow only today and every win...

    Embracing New England Jae Crowder.

    We all new that Hood was gone after the season. The Jazz had to trade him. Reports say that we turned down 20 offers for Rodney Hood and accepted the one that brings New England Jae Crowder to Utah. I was upset because of the fact that one those offers we refused was Hood and a future 1st in...

    Trade deadline: Dismiss Rubio, bring in a back court.

    When the Jazz acquired Rubio, he had a career average of 9 assists per game. That's right! Per game! He obviously isn't the same player and is not capable of doing that now. He is currently averaging 4.8 assists per game. That is a disgrace when your main job is to distribute the basketball. He...

    The Jazz will be better than the ________, but no greater than the _________.

    I know this is going to create a lot of arguments and that is not my intent. My intent, is however, to create detailed discussions about the Utah Jazz's potential with this upcoming season. "The Jazz will be better than the Spurs, but no greater than the Warriors. I think that the Jazz (if...

    Utah Jazz should look to add Dion Waiters

    24 years old who is coming off of a bad season in OKC while posting career low 10 PPG, but also a career high from 3 point range shooting 36%. He was in a tough position in OKC and they have recently rescinded his extension offer making him a UFA. Jazz could use him to add depth to our lineup...

    Per DL, Jazz will be "very active" in free agency. = The results

    The General Manager of the Utah Jazz mentioned in June, speaking on the behalf of the entire Utah Jazz organization, the Utah Jazz would be "very active" in the free agency. Now I am not here to to bad-mouth anyone, only speak the truth and facts as it comes out. The words "very active" actually...

    Kobe's last game against the Jazz. Outcome? (April 13th game thread)

    It's no secret that Kobe is going to go all out on the last game of his career. The Lakers have nothing to lose. The one game that they care about winning this year is Kobe's last game which happens to be against Utah. The Jazz are obviously a much better team than the Lakers. However Kobe has...
