Court notwithstanding, look at this dump-ass scorebug. What's the Warriors' score?

The Jazz announce it was indeed a labral tear for Walker Kessler

The use of the most popular gradient-style format is great

But every fan I talk to wishes that the top used a blue gradient instead of grayscale the whole way. Similar to Utah's Dark Mode unis in the Gobert/Mitchell era that had the red/yellow gradient on top with a black base

Just needs more blue

is this bad transition defense

Now that he's on the desk for a major NBA studio show, Tracy McGrady needs to being back The Big Pants

In any event as you look back at the final standings, and I feel like the brakes should and could have been hit a little harder, a little earlier. Don't need to get down to the top 3, but below these teams before Charlotte was attainable

No idea why Flip doesn't toss it into Lauri here.

It was actually a beautiful play design that was executed decently. And Key is obviously open too but he doesn't continue his huge advantage once he gets the ball: he stops immediately and allows Schroder to recover and play straight up

EXCITING NEWS! After many years, Salt City Hoops has been redesigned; check it out! www.saltcityhoops.com

We used to have the old ESPN TrueHoop affiliate template (remember TrueHoop?!), but now it's fully 'ours' and I'm so excited for what's next.

The best Utah Jazz blog out there.

It means winning 37 games so you effectively take yourself out of the Wembanyama draft lottery

Time for a preseason re-introduction

I am a Utah Jazz fan from Rochester, NY currently living in Colorado

I post 98% about the NBA; most of it sarcastic/2-beer musings with a dose of advanced stats

I do podcasts about the Jazz for Salt City Hoops - pls subscribe

Mamu's defense here looks identical to Darren Rovell vs. Kristaps Porzingis

Per @andyblarsen.bsky.social's photos, a first-ish glance at the new long, gradual slope for the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center to accommodate NHL games

I think the 4th photo is a good representation of what it used to feel like

No longer the remarkable, vertical, on-top-of-the-players feeling.

I appreciate that Jared Dudley's coach photo is just his media day photo from the last time he played

david locke looking like the rest of us after that ace bailey debut

This was my @loudclap.bsky.social moment of last night:

Key manipulates the corner defender as he's looking to to an entry pass, and then perfectly times a pass to the corner when the corner defender has over-committed.

Ace then attacks the closeout with force and athleticism instead of settling
