The Rundown: Suns @ Jazz 12/21/15

December 21st, 2015 | by Ben Dowsett
Remember how, when the Jazz were in a bit of a slide with four straight losses, the message from within the team was that no one was panicking even as they looked to find some answers? That sword cuts both ways, as it turns out....

The Rundown: Nuggets @ Jazz 12/18/15

December 18th, 2015 | by Ben Dowsett
The Jazz’s force was awakened Friday night. When one gets past the corniness, that’s actually a relatively apt description of a much-needed win over the Nuggets, particularly down the stretch. Quin Snyder and his team...

We’d been saying it all year long. We’d said it over the summer. Shoot, we said it in the latter parts of last season: This Jazz team will be in the rough if they have to spend extended time without one of Gordon...

The detached perch from which fans and media generally view pro sports makes it laughably easy to minimize the importance of surroundings and comfort for the athletes involved. These are professionals, we think; the barrier...

Calling Quin Snyder a psychic might be jumping the shark a tad, right? Multiple times leading up to the first of three straight games for the Jazz against elite Western opponents, Snyder reinforced a point: he just wanted his...

The Rundown: Knicks @ Jazz 12/9/15

December 9th, 2015 | by Ben Dowsett
It seems some subset of the NBA population will forever be wondering whether Gordon Hayward is a star, whether Gordon Hayward was overpaid, whether Gordon Hayward has what it takes to be the leader of a title-contending...

The Jazz miss Rudy Gobert, and badly. If any one thing has become clear in the last few games, it’s this simple fact that virtually everyone knew would be the case anyway. But at least for his first couple games out of the...

Superlatives at the Quarter Pole

December 8th, 2015 | by Ben Dowsett
The Jazz may not technically be there yet as of this writing, but the majority of the league has hit the quarter pole of what’s been a fascinating season so far. We’re just about to the point where results for the season can...

So… didn’t folks call Jazz basketball boring once upon a time? Those people likely aren’t being heard from anytime soon. A week after a thrilling challenge to the unbeatable Warriors had the Vivint Arena crowd...

The Rundown: Magic @ Jazz 12/3/15

December 3rd, 2015 | by Ben Dowsett
“Just gotta play with more force. Gotta get to where you want to go. Gotta have a little more poise.” Words from Gordon Hayward go a long way to summing up Thursday night’s lethargic Jazz loss to the Magic. A...
