Bojan Bogdanovic’s Buzzer-Beater Lifts Utah Jazz Over Milwaukee Bucks

November 11, 2019 by Kelby Jones Leave a Comment

Bojan Bogdanovic celebrates after hitting a buzzer-beater to beat the Milwaukee Bucks.

On Friday, Bojan Bogdanovic hit a three pointer from the corner at the buzzer to lift the Utah Jazz over the Milwaukee Bucks in Salt Lake City, Utah. However, that wasn’t all the Croation has done to help put his team on the map.

After that, the Utah Jazz Fan Show discussed the incredible shot with Bruce Pitcher joining on the phone from Phoenix, Arizona. Watch the segment below:

Bojan Bogdanovic Earns Player of the Week

Bogdanovic finished the game with 33 points against one of the best teams in the NBA’s Eastern Conference. As a result, his performance earned him Player of the Week honors from the Utah Jazz Social Media team.

Bojan Bogdanović finished out the week strong! 🔥 He is our #PlayeroftheWeek

A post shared by Utah Jazz (@utahjazz) on Nov 9, 2019 at 5:22pm PST

“I think the whole team knew that Bojan wanted the ball and that he was, if not going to make it, could get something good off. If you have players that are not afraid of the moment and can make reads and make decisions about the ball, that’s the best thing.”

Utah Jazz Head Coach Quin Snyder

How good is Bojan Bogdanovic for the Utah Jazz this season?

The Utah Jazz forward is averaging more points per game than eight of last season’s 20 NBA All Stars. Above all, he’s shooting an incredibly high percentage.

Perhaps more importantly is the contribution he’s making in an attempt to lighten the load on Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell.

In conclusion, look for Bojan Bogdanovic to get more recognition from national media outlets at the season moves on. The Utah Jazz Fan Show will most definitely be watching!

GAME 16 Takeaways – Utah Jazz at Boston Celtics

November 18, 2018 by Kelby Jones Leave a Comment

GAME 16 Takeaways - Utah Jazz at Boston Celtics

GAME 16 Takeaways – Utah Jazz at Boston Celtics

Jazz beat Celtics for second time this week (or so it seems), but this time in Boston.

The Utah Jazz went into Boston Saturday night to face the Celtics for the second time in eight days. The Jazz were looking to pull to .500 on their most recent road trip after falling to Dallas and Philadelphia earlier in the week.

However, Kyrie Irving was playing for Boston this time around, which made it an entirely different ball game.

The game went a lot like the first matchup in Salt Lake City, with the Jazz building a lead and then, perhaps more surprisingly, being able to hold onto it as the game moved on. Irving found himself in foul trouble early, and the Jazz were able to remain undefeated against Boston this year, escaping with the 98 – 86 victory.

Watch full game highlights below:


GAME 16 Takeaways – Utah Jazz at Boston Celtics

Quick Notes

#1 | Four Quarters of Solid Basketball

The Utah Jazz seem to have this issue where they can’t put an entirely solid game of basketball together.

For one reason or another, it seems like the team can play three quarters as well as any team in the league, but the remaining quarter is what ends up blowing up in their face.

Things were different in Boston, however, as the Jazz were able to maintain consistency throughout the duration and retain a lead throughout the game.

What changed? Not sure, but the following points couldn’t have hurt…

#2 | Donovan Remains Hot

As often happens with the Utah Jazz, when the team has a good game overall, usually their best player has a good game as well.

Donovan Mitchell finally got things rolling towards the end of Friday’s game in Philadelphia. That continued into Boston, as the sophomore tallied 28 points and 6 assists, which is a little bit better than shooting 35 times with 0 assists…

Has Donovan finally found the happy medium between keeping the ball in his hands as often as possible and getting teammates involved?

For the season’s sake, I hope so.

#3 | Speaking of Donovan

#4 | A Good Fit?

As I’ve been watching the Jazz play this season, it seems to me they may still be one piece away from taking things to the next level.

As I’ve thought about the league, I’ve determined the Jazz need a more solid stretch big man. Right now, Derrick is doing a great job, but the fact of the matter is that he’s a five, not a four. He’s playing out of position, and sometimes it just looks awkward.

I’m wondering how many of you believe Al Horford may be a good fit with the Jazz? Big guy who can shoot. We could bring him in as the starting four with Derrick coming in off the bench to give Rudy breathers.

Thoughts?

Game 08 Takeaways – Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies

November 4, 2018 by Kelby Jones Leave a Comment

Game 08 Takeaways - Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies

Game 08 Takeaways – Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies

Round two ends with the same result as round one…

The Utah Jazz returned from its first full-fledged road trip of the season Wednesday evening. There waiting for them, the Memphis Grizzlies and a shot at redemption after the Jazz flubbed the first matchup between the western conference foes.

Those expecting this game to go differently than the first were disappointed yet again, as the game seemed to follow a similar trajectory. The Jazz fell behind early, but not be enough to cause any real alarm. Eventually, Memphis slowed things down to a screeching halt and a last-chance attempt for a come back falls just short.

Memphis ends up leaving Salt Lake City with a second win against the Utah Jazz 110-100.

Watch the full game highlights below:


Game 08 Takeaways – Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies

Quick Notes

#1 | Free Throws, Free Throws, Free Throws

For my first point, let me present my first article of evidence:

Yep. The Jazz shot 56% from the free throw line.

Free throws seem to have become a bit of an issue for the Utah Jazz this year. It’s getting to the point where I want to buy floor-level seats underneath the hoop just so I can hold up this sign:

I think it will help.

#2 | Donovan and AB Out

Having Donovan out for this game was one thing. But I think we may have missed Alec Burks even more.

Why?

When the Jazz can’t get things going because the other team has slowed things down to a molasses-like pace, Alec Burks is the spark that can ignite the offense.

When Alec Burks is out, this team seems to lack the scoring off the bench that is needed when you face such defensive-minded teams like Memphis.

PS – I recently heard of a trade that could work in the Jazz favor:

Yes or no??

#3 | Jae Crowder in Crunch Time

It seems that when the Jazz get into situations where they need players in the game who they know will come through no matter what, they’ve been relying heavily on one Jae Crowder.

Here’s my question…

How long can the Jazz rely on Jae Crowder in crunch time?

We’ve seen that he can play. We’ve seen that he fits in. But have we seen long-lasting health and consistency from Jae?

Here’s hoping the Jazz can figure out a way to relieve some of that weight which has been placed on Jae’s shoulders.

#4 | Refs and Adjusting Calls Based on Situation

If the refs are calling a game really tight, and it gets to the point where many players have enough fouls to be taken out of the game for fear of ejection, should they stop calling the game so tightly… mid game?

This is a question I’ve been asking myself a lot lately. The rules say no. Emotion says yes.

Maybe this is a good topic for Coach Phil to handle…

#5 | How Good is Memphis Really?

Here’s the truth: Memphis STUNK last season.

It was a well-known fact they were tanking in an attempt to get a good draft pick. PLUS, many of their go-to players were injured and out for the year.

Going into this season, I think many people thought the Grizzlies would be at about the same level, which as we’ve witnessed in Utah, is far from the case.

So how good is Memphis? Will they be able to steal one of the precious playoff spots from Utah?

Coaches or Players? Who’s More Important to NBA Success?

November 1, 2018 by Coach Phil Leave a Comment

coaches or players

Ask Coach Phil

“Are players or coaches more important when it comes to NBA success?“

First, let’s look at (recently fired) Ty Lue, Luke Walton, Steve Kerr, and our very own Quin Snyder.

Sure, the Cavs went to the Finals last year, but besides Lebron leaving, the team basically stayed the same. The results? An 0-6 start and a fired Ty Lue.

Luke Walton took over the Warriors coaching responsibilities in Steve Kerr’s absence. He went an unprecedented 39-4, starting 24-0, and eventually got the Lakers Head Coaching position. None of that technically counts, as wins are awarded to the head coach, but you have to believe it was more the players rather than the coach.

Why? His record starting this season with the Lakers over the past two years is 61-103.

Is Steve Kerr really this good or does he allow his three, then four, now FIVE All-Stars to run the show?

Will Ty Lue find another coaching position? Will Luke all of a sudden be a terrific coach now that Lebron plays for the Lakers??

Quin Snyder’s Approach

Quin Snyder has got something going with Jazz Nation. I like the approach he has taken.

His record starting his 5th year is 177-153, steadily improving as his tenure lengthens. He even lost potentially Utah’s biggest star in the last decade and continues to get better.

The “team” approach needs to be adopted by more across the league. The guys we have are truly buying into this philosophy. From their actions on the court, their interactions with the fan base, to the many “different” leading scorers every night.

In the first five or so games, Mitchell, Ingles and Rubio have taken turns pouring in the most points. In a game filled with the Big 3, Big 4 and in the Warriors case Big 5, Coach Quin continues to build the “team” concept. The new #teamiseverything is proof.

Team isn’t any one thing, team is everything.

This is only a nod to what Coach  Snyder kept saying all throughout last year:

“The strength of our team, is our team.”

Time will only tell if we can keep the growth like it has been, but for now, others should learn from the same blueprint Utah has been using.

Coach Phil’s Conclusion?

Pieces help to finish the puzzle, but ultimately, if you are trying to get guys to buy in on your culture, build it yourself.

Takeaways From the Utah Jazz vs. Perth Wildcats Preseason Matchup

September 29, 2018 by Kelby Jones Leave a Comment

Takeaways From the Utah Jazz vs. Perth Wildcats Preseason Matchup

Utah Jazz vs. Perth Wildcats goes exactly as you’d think.

Tonight’s Utah Jazz vs. Perth Wildcats game kicked off the 2018-2019 preseason schedule for the Jazz. While the game went exactly as everyone predicted, the game atmosphere surprised me.

As I looked around the arena, I noticed around 75 percent of the seats were filled.

…for a preseason game.

Against a team from Australia who I genuinely thought may not score a point in the first quarter.

Once again, Jazz fans represent better than any in league. It’s beginning to feel like people are noticing…


My Takeaways – Utah Jazz vs. Perth Wildcats

#1 | Grayson Allen (duh)

After doing so well last season, the Utah Jazz were forced to select late in the first round of the NBA Draft.  Looking at the level of talent that is typically still available at that point, drafting Grayson seemed like a no-brainer.

Fast forward to tonight’s preseason opener against Perth.

Allen checks into the game in the first quarter and has a foul within ten seconds.

“Hmm,” I said.

He then goes on to hit his next five 3-point attempts and finishes the game as one of the leading scorers with 19 points in 22 minutes.

It may not be a performance we come to expect from Grayson as his career settles, but for now, it seems he fits in with the team.

At this point, and with this team, I’ll take it.


#2 | Alec Burks and His Passing Game

During last season’s playoff push against OKC, Alec Burks came off the bench as a surprise contributor to the Utah Jazz victory.

Now, AB seems like he’s been around for a long, long time. But for some reason, it feels a little different this year.

I don’t know exactly what it is. He’s always been quick, a slaher and able to score. Obviously, injuries have played a major role, but up to this point I’ve never seen him make the passes he’s making.

Alex looks healthy. He looks like his swagger is slowly but surely making its way back. But this time, it doesn’t seem like it will overtake AB along with the rest of us.

He’s older, more experienced, and seemingly humble.

Is 2018-2019 the year we finally see AB make the improvements we all know he’s capable of making?


#3 | Early Look at Season Rotation

A few notes: Joe Ingles sat out during the Utah Jazz vs. Perth Wildcats game, which left Royce O’Neale as the starting 2.

It looks like Dante Exum is backing up Ricky Rubio entirely and no longer sharing the backup PG role.

Similar to the end of last year, Derrick Favors sits first and is replaced by Jae Crowder. Late in the first quarter, Rudy Gobert sits and Derrick Favors replaces him at center.

Favs anchoring and first AND second teams. I love it.

Another surprise was the fact that Greyson Allen replaced Donovan Mitchell, and it worked extremely well. Will we see Greyson as the primary backup to Spida all season?


#4 | Talent Gap of Basketball World

All props to the Perth Wildcats.

They knew they’d be massacred by the Utah Jazz (the team’s starting center was 6′ 9″)… and they were.

My experience at the Utah Jazz vs. Perth Wildcats game just reaffirmed the level of talent NBA must have to compete in any way at all.

We’re lucky to be able to witness it first-hand.


#5 | Jammin’ While We’re Jammin’

This is random, but it seemed like the facilities played music over the PA system during literally every Utah Jazz possession.

I know it’s becoming more and more common to hear the jams play during live in-game play, but this seemed like a little much.

Was this just because it was a preseason game, or should we expect this to become the norm moving forward?

My suggestion (because you’re all dying to know)?

Pump the jams. Lose the Jazz dancers.
