Folks, this gray court is absolutely awful. I cannot believe something thought this was a good idea.

Of all possible color combinations and designs, THIS is what was decided? There’s no excuse. It’s obscene.

Who's brain child was this. It's super distracting during the game.

I understand we are trying to develop our youth and regardless of what draft picks we get next season, we are doing that. However, I feel like if we don't get a top 5 pick this season, it would feel like our team would be going nowhere for another year until we draft a good talent. What are your guys thoughts?

NBA Cup - Group West B Schedule

After an intriguing win in San Antonio, we have another possible coping injection looming on sight when the NBA Cup starts tomorrow! The Jazz might not win a lot this season, but IF YOU WIN JUST THE RIGHT GAMES, you might end up with some silverware and Cooper Flagg!

With the news of Chet and KD going out with injuries the group is suddenly wide open for an upset. It's still not probable but hear me out!

• Tomorrow Phoenix without KD in Utah starting a week long away trip against bigger guns for them: first home W of the season for Jazz
• Week from now Lakers return from their back-to-back weekend away trip and chill for a couple of days before hosting Utah: they sluggishly drop a game at Staples Center
• One week from that and Spurs visit the Delta Center: an easy dub, Jazz 3-0 in NBA Cup group stage
• Last game against OKC and even a tight loss is enough because Jazz is guaranteed to be top 2 in the group and their group gets the wildcard spot thanks to their strong point differential, Jazz goes through to the knockouts!

Here's Kevin Pelton's projection for the group stage which gives Jazz a 6.4% probability to advance to the knockouts. Not too shabby!

The Utah Jazz content team is doing some amazing work. Jazz fans should love this. https://youtu.be/EDbc1l9E7Nk?si=v6sfJ7Biwu9NcKQM

fluke?

Hi, bulls fan here, haven’t been super interested in the jazz but Lauri has peaked my interest.

So I’m wondering how much better does the Jazz get when their star is healthy? If he were healthy for the rest of the season what do you expect the record to look by playoffs?

We may be tanking and playing sub par basketball. But regardless, we aren’t sub par fans!! I hope to see some growth from the young guys, wisdom from the vets, and someone to poster wemby!

Ryan Smith owns the Jazz and UHC, and broadcast their games on SeG+ and Utah 16. He also owns RSL, yet you can only watch their games on apple TV. YouTube also don't see them being advertized jointly like the other two. Their presense seems to be more like a minor league team--barely covered by the paper (Deseret news covers WSU more) and the games don't have a recap on the news. Why doesn't SEG do more to cross promote them and get exposure?

I mean it could happen and if it does, Cooper would actually be a good fit next to Lauri Markkanen

Since this season will be filled with losses, I want to periodically update a list of notable prospects to keep an eye on. I’m far from a scout, but I do enjoy following the draft.

We can keep commentary, highlight videos, etc here. I’m starting out with my own personal rankings with the limited stuff we have right now, but let’s talk about where you think guys should be — I ultimately want this to reflect what our community thinks and be an easy resource for Jazz fans looking into prospects through the season.

Lots of talk about the rotation over the last few days and especially after last night when Will Hardy leaned on vets. Team played well the first 2 1/4 quarters, but turnovers led to transition buckets and Dame/Giannis dominated in the halfcourt and took the game over.

I thought the Jazz looked good for much of the Mavs game before Taylor's injury. They've been able to put together stretches of good ball in games but nothing with any consistency.

With that being said, Markannen is back. Clarkson came back yesterday and was his typical up and down self. Isaiah Collier made his NBA regular season debut last night.

With this team at non-Hendricks full strength, what do you think the rotation should look like in the games ahead?

For me, personally, I'm going with: George/Sexton/Sensabaugh/Markannen/Kessler as your starting 5, with (for now) Mills/Clarkson/Juzang/Collins/Filipowski off the bench and Williams and Collier in G-League.

I personally would rather see Potter in the rotation over Eubanks as well if it isn't Filip but Filip has shown enough in his minutes to deserve the opportunity and to me should be there, for development purposes and to be honest he's also the superior player to Eubanks. Collier, just returning from injury, is G-League bound for now and we'll see how he performs, as the backup PG is there for him if he can produce immediately.

I think Cody should be too, but he probably won't be. Don't think it benefits him playing such a bit role on offense and doing so ineffectively. He can slash and moves the ball, which honestly is more than what Hendricks was bringing to the table on offense pre-injury, but is a total non-threat as a scorer right now and is just raw defensively even though the defensive talent/upside is there.

Brice has improved his defense on ball. The team defense is something to work on, but that takes reps. He can shoot 3's and he can drive off closeouts. That's the kind of guy that the Jazz need in the starting lineup. He has the makings of a 3/D wing with some creation equity. We'll only know for sure if he plays, but this lineup is starved for someone like that at the 3, with or without Taylor, because he actually can make a play with the ball. He's also a solid cutter.

What would you all do?

Found myself in a rabbit hole of Cooper Flagg highlights and getting excited about having him on the Jazz. Maybe I’m being pessimistic but 1.4 times out of 10 is still really low.

Box Score

I don’t have Apple TV, Android TV, or a Roku TV. I can only watch in a web browser but it blocks casting it to a TV. If i do screen mirroring it blacks out the footage. Such a waste of money. I don’t understand why they just wouldn’t use a more accessible phone app. I’m not about to go out and buy additional hardware just so i can use this shit. So frustrating.

How strict are the ushers about moving into a new section if the game isn’t sold out?

Anyone else excited to see Preston whip up a stat line vs Bronny? Curious to see how Bronny plays down in G league vs “lesser competition” than NBA. G League keeps getting better and better talent wise.

Just remember through all the pain we'll go through watching so many losses this year, it’ll be worth it with the 2025 draft class. There’s a solid top five, and we’ll have a real chance to land a franchise player. Prospects like Flagg, Harper, Edgecombe, Bailey, and even Demin all show great promise, with plenty of time for others to rise up the ranks.

Even with the Hendricks injury potentially setting back our rebuild a bit, another high lottery pick in 2026 wouldn’t be the worst outcome. I’m feeling glass-half-full right now and excited for what’s to come.

Why are tickets as expensive as they are? The team this year is not great. I am looking at the top of the lower bowl against Charlotte, and they are still selling for $95 a ticket. Seems a bit pricey for the product on the court that night.

Anybody have a luxury box that is not going to attend certain games and willing to give up the tickets? We’ll pay please DM me if you fall into this category.

Sorry if this has been asked but I couldn’t find it — looking at resale seats.
