RUMOR: Utah Jazz to debut “mountain” jerseys next season

by Leave a Comment

Sources say local retailers are stocking up on a Utah Jazz “mountain” jersey in anticipation of next season’s debut.

The Utah Jazz organization is planning on incorporating mountains into the design of the team’s jerseys next season. This, according to one local employee at a sporting goods retail store in the greater Salt Lake City area.

The employee claims the store’s manager had planned and ordered large amounts of the jersey after receiving communications from the decision-makers, presumably with Nike.

The previous “mountain” jerseys were made famous in the late 1990’s during the teams two runs to the NBA Finals. Both runs ending in losses to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in both matchups.

Goodbye to the Utah Jazz City Edition Jersey?

The Utah Jazz made noise during the 2017-2018 season by debuting their newly-designed “City Edition” jerseys. The jerseys revolved around an entirely new design-scheme, including a red, orange and yellow color pallet.

According to the local employee, the new Utah Jazz “mountain” jerseys will be replacing these jerseys all together. This may come as a surprise to those who thought this design may have been foreshadowing something bigger to come.

Other Utah Jazz Jersey Concepts to Consider

Some, including John Stockton, weren’t big fans of the Utah Jazz throwback purple mountain jerseys originally. Furthermore, some STILL aren’t big fans of it, even today.

For those of you who aren’t happy to bring back the team’s heritage, enjoy a few Utah Jazz jersey concept designs, courtesy of a Google search.

Rudy Gobert’s Future is Crystal Clear

by Leave a Comment

No one delivers quite like Rudy Gobert when it comes to style.

Whether wearing a tailored suit, leopard print, or both, he always brings his A-game.

His fellow team-mates may not fully appreciate Rudy’s sartorial choices, but I believe they are worthy of appreciation.

Lately, Rudy has been rocking some literal rocks:

 

But these are more than a fashion statement.

They’re CRYSTALS.

Why Utah Jazz Fans Should Care About Rudy Gobert’s Crystals

What are crystals. and why should you, as a Jazz fan care? Well, I consulted what I assume would be the most accurate source for information on crystals (Gwyneth Paltrow’s GOOP website) and found this:

“Scientifically, crystals are the most orderly structure that exists in nature, meaning they have the lowest amount of entropy (a measurement of disorder). Crystals are structured in such a way that they respond to the inputs of all different energies around them, so they oscillate, emitting specific vibratory frequencies… Our ancestors intuitively knew that when worn, the energies of the stones would interact with the human electromagnetic field to bring about energetic changes.”

Meaning, these crystals could be a literal game-changer for Gobert. Could crystals give him an extra edge on the court? We have photo evidence of Rudy wearing these crystals on and off all season. They could be the source of some of his success. Three out of the four games he wore crystals heading into the stadium, the Jazz won. It could also be a potential source of failure. Crystals need specific care if they are to retain their energetic properties.

  • Crystals need to be cleaned to remove dense or stale energy. This can be accomplished by

    • burying them in the ground
    • purifying them in salt water
    • leave them out under the light of the full moon
    • burn sage and run the crystals through the smoke

  • You are not supposed to let other people touch your crystals as it may transfer their vibrations or energies leading it to be no longer attuned to you

  • There is also the slight chance that choosing the wrong crystal can actually have negative affects if you choose the wrong kind or if they’re not sourced ethically

So what does this mean for Rudy?

Can we guarantee that his crystals are connected to good vibes only?

Where Did Rudy Gobert Get These Crystals?

Not to worry. He got his crystals from none other than the king of crystals himself Spencer Pratt of Pratt Daddy Crystals:

You may know Spencer Pratt as one of the lead “villains” from The Hills, but he has turned over a new leaf and deals in good vibes only.  Rudy is one of Pratt Daddy’s key influencers, and as such has the inside track to all the best crystals.

So will Rudy’s game help the Jazz dominate via electromagnetic vibrations? All I know is that they won the the 4 game after wearing crystals on the 13th, so I say the odds are in his favor.

Dear Jazz, Stop Playing for the Whistle

by Leave a Comment

stop playing for the whistle

It’s Time for the Utah Jazz
to Stop Playing for the Whistle

A Heartfelt Plea from a Lifelong Jazz Fan

My dearest Utah Jazz,

It is with sincere reflection that I choose to write you this note today.

You see, I spend a great deal of my time researching, pondering and discussing the inner and outer workings of your organization, so much so, in fact, that at times I feel as though I am a part of it myself.

Please know that I do not say these things out of spite, hatred or a feeling of superiority. But instead, I relay this message out of love, devotion and loyalty to a culture and an identity which I feel perfectly suits this fine community on the banks of the great lake of salt.

Culture and Identity Perceived by a Utah Jazz Fan

We all know that the Utah Jazz knows what it means to be an underdog. The facts that you’re a small market team and lack any real nightlife (you family-oriented SUCKERS) are just the beginning to a long list of reasons why you shouldn’t be successful in today’s NBA.

And now, it seems there’s another reason to add:

NBA Referees Have Fragile Egos

It’s nothing new. In fact, it’s something we’ve seen forever, but perhaps no more than during the past decade or so.

I’m not really exactly sure how these egos became so fragile. Perhaps it was years and years and years of being constantly berated by “adults” being paid millions of dollars to play a game.

I’m sure it didn’t help that these “adults” keep getting younger and younger, being paid more and more with every passing year.

Somewhere along the lines, these referees also began respecting certain players and their team more than other players and their team.

What does this weird bias lead to?

Watch some highlights of it below:

This Utah Jazz Fan’s Conclusion After a Dumpster Fire

The Utah Jazz have seen this type of “officiating” for the entirety of its existence. It goes back to the team’s days matching up against the Showtime Lakers and the GOAT.

But for some reason, it seems to have gotten worse as of late. It’s almost as if the Refs have begun to openly say:

“That team from Utah? Yeah, we’re not gonna help them out at all.”

Utah Jazz Argument

Need an example of NBA Officials blatantly missing calls that everyone in the entire world can see should go in the Jazz’ favor?

How about an example of NBA Officials blatantly calling a foul that SHOULD NEVER have been called, and ultimately, goes AGAINST the Utah Jazz:

Now I’ll admit, for the first quarter of the season, these kinds of things simple enraged me. But now, I’m used to them.

What I’m getting really sick of at this point is Utah Jazz players arguing for a call while the other team runs down the floor and scores.

Like, I get it. You should have gotten the call. But guess what?

The refs not gonna call it.

I’m sorry, there’s nothing we can do about it. Their fragile egos and inability to see the world objectively makes it impossible to call a game in your favor.

So what do we do now?

How about we just accept that the world is against us and…

JUST KEEP PLAYING BASKETBALL.

No more arguing with the refs. Save your postgame comments and your Mario war cries and…

GET BACK ON DEFENSE.

Overall, just please, for all that is good and decent in this world…

STOP PLAYING FOR THE WHISTLE.

It’s never been called our way, so why would it start now?

Game 27 Takeaways – Utah Jazz at San Antonio Spurs

by Leave a Comment

Utah Jazz at San Antonio Spurs

Game 27 Takeaways

Utah Jazz at San Antonio Spurs

Jazz find themselves on yet another road trip, lose opener in San Antonio.

The Utah Jazz began another road trip Sunday evening in San Antonio. On top of playing even more games on the road, the Jazz get to play them back-to-back.

Utah will be facing the Oklahoma City Thunder Monday night in OKC, just a night after playing in San Antonio. Not to mention, OKC may be looking for a little revenge, but that may just be me overthinking things…

Anyways, Utah got off to a slow start before making a furious comeback, which peaked early in the 4th quarter. Unfortunately for the Jazz, the timing of the comeback was all wrong.

Jazz fall to the Spurs in San Antonio, 110 – 97.

Next up, at Oklahoma City on Monday night.

Watch the full game highlights below:

Utah Jazz at San Antonio Spurs

Quick Takeaways

One Bad Quarter vs One Bad Half

The Utah Jazz scored a whopping 18 points in the first quarter Sunday in San Antonio. Luckily, one bad quarter per game is usually where Utah lives,… right?

You just hate to see the dagger so early, ya know?

Luckily, Utah was still able to put up a fight.

This is the kind of stuff I’m looking for. Not so much those first two quarters, but how the team responds when they have that kind of stretch.

Hopefully that 36-pointer, and a good fought second half translates into momentum going into OKC (see below).

OOOOOOOklahoma (ugh)

Just so you all know, I say “ugh” because honestly, Oklahoma is kind of the worst.

A post shared by David Locke (@dlocke09) on

Anyways, while Oklahoma City may be looking for a little bit of revenge after the Jazz handed it to them in the first round of last year’s playoffs, I can see this one going Utah’s direction.

Why?

For some incredibly frustrating yet unknown reason, these are the kinds of games the Utah Jazz show up for. Not the Pacers or the second game against the Spurs…

The Jazz show up for the big ones.

Heck, let’s even place the bet:

Spida Speaks w/o Speaking

The Utah Jazz were in a bad place to start the third quarter off. Fortunately, Donovan Mitchell decided to take things over, ultimately finishing the game with 27 points.

How did I know Donovan was taking the game over for his team?

Well, outside of hitting that first 3PA out of halftime, he had this look on his face that I could just… read for some reason.

It kinda looks like this, but not exactly…

and luckily, the look usually leads to a lot of this…

and a lot of this…

Utah Jazz vs San Antonio SpursGame 25 Takeaways

Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs

Jazz set franchise record for 3PM in game en route to obliterating Spurs.

The Utah Jazz finally won a home game.

With San Antonio in town, many fans weren’t sure they were going to get to witness a victory in-person. However, the Jazz gave the home crowd a show, setting a franchise record for most 3-pointers made in a game with 20.

The Jazz run away with this one, which was never in doubt, 139 – 105.

Watch the full game highlights below:

Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs

Quick Takeaways

Shots From Deep, Obvs…

The Utah Jazz set a franchise record for 3-point attempts made in a single game Tuesday night against San Antonio. The final number of 3PA that went in?

20.

Am I the only one who thinks that number is kinda low? Doesn’t Steph Curry hit that many by himself in what seems like each and every single game he plays in?

Either way, it was nice to see the ball going through the hoop.

Here’s my question: how much of this has to do with Threezus himself, the one and only Kyle Korver?

Is shooting contagious? Tune into The Jazz Fan Show Podcast Episode 10 (Sunday morning at 9:00 AM on 1280 AM and 97.5 FM, The Zone Sports Network), where Coach Phil gives us his answer!

Everybody Eats

The highest scoring Jazz player against the Spurs was Donovan Mitchell, who led the team with…

20 points…

All I want to do with this one is leave this image here and let it marinade…

Feels Good to Finally Get One

This is gonna be short, but I just wanna say how nice it felt to watch the Utah Jazz finally run another team out of Vivint Smart Home Arena.

It’s no secret that the Jazz have been on the road a lot already this season, and when they’ve been home, they’ve been beaten time and time again.

It was just nice to see the team get a solid win at home with their home crowd in the stands.

End of takeaways.
