Didn't realize he came back tonight as I was scoreboard watching. Will definitely be interested in catching up on this one tomorrow.

The 2025-2026 Utah Jazz: "Fuck You."

Hey @nbasarah.bsky.social im always curious about guys' equipment changes mid-season. Would love to know what made Key go to the loose-ish fitting t under the jersey the past few games 😊

Lauri Markkanen has brought some /amazing/ physicality today.

Two things have stood out for Utah as I've raced to catch up to live action in Spurs - Jazz 1. Real aggressive, scrappy rebounding effort for the JUMP. Usually Utah has effort issues early in games. 2. Keyonte and Walt Clayton have leveled up their dribble move packages. Constantly feinting about

Cody Williams just attempted a running sky hook against Luke Kornet. It did not go in.

Taylor Hendricks just pump-and drive Victor Wembanyama and fooled him again at the rim for a layup. Literally the best play of his career. Incredible.

Time to check in on my Utah Jazz for the first time tonight Lol what the hell

Lauri Markkanen: 38 minutes, 30 points (8-18 FG; 4-7 3PT; 10-10 FT), 4 rebounds, 4 assists (!!!!!), 2 turnovers, 1 steal Keyonte George: 35 minutes, 31 points (12-22 FG (!); 5-10 3PT (!!!); 2-2 FT), 7 rebounds (!), 8 assists, 2 turnovers, 2 steals, 1 block

Every visiting team fanbase is walking away from watching a Jazz game thinking "oh, okay, Keyonte George, then."

Keyonte George, another huge shot! His floater with 2.1 seconds left puts the Jazz up 131-129! Pistons will get chance to tie or win.

Brice Sensabaugh even KNEW Cade Cunningham was coming to strip the ball as he was dribbling up the court and just let him have it. Just reckless shit.

Utah has gotten 26 games of Jusuf Nurkic consistently giving a shit and man I would not have predicted that going into the season

sure thing, dude

cannot believe i just watched isaiah collier randomly throw a no-look behind-the-back pass three feet off its target on a fast break that totally didnt warrant that

Let me detail this: 1 Tough shot (nice!) 2 Big flop, Brooks easy FG 3 Airball 3 w/ 14 on the clock 4 Dies on soft Booker screen, awful angle to contest Gillespie FG 5 Trips on own guy, turns same ankle getting up (ouch!) 6 Proceeds to throw ball away 7 Gentle jog back, allows Booker lob, game over

Jazz in the bonus with EIGHT minutes left to play in the third. Utah is really really good at drawing off-ball fouls. With how good Keyonte and Markkanen are at drawing shooting fouls, they can be a nightmare for foul-prone teams (Detroit #1 in the NBA)

Are there any legit playoff teams that could use a quality 2 guard for 12 minutes in their rotation?

Ace Bailey out for the rest of the game with a hip flexor strain, per Lauren Green Was wondering why Brice Sensabaugh was getting significant extra burn

Jalen Duren bullied the hell out of Kevin Love and missed an incredible bunny layup. he got his own miss; Kevin Love promptly blocked his putback attempt without leaving his feet, lol

i understand that Hendricks is Not A Center and has none of the communication skills necessary to plausibly play the 5, but asking Kevin Love to get fucking destroyed by Jalen Duren isn't an answer either play a funky zone! play a Hendricks/Filipowski frontcourt for maximum offense! something else!

Isaiah Collier just rifled a pass four thousand MPH right at Paul Reed's face, lol

Kyle Filipowski has the widest bands on the team from "looking like a real NBA starter" to "won't get a second contract". my god.

said this on the last Salt City Hoops pod (like! comment!) about Utah's transition defense: the Jazz are definitely better at strictly following /rules/ with transition D. but that's only the start. you have to bring peripheral vision and chaos and effort to the equation, and Utah provides zero.

Markkanen just tried to sky jam all over Isaiah Stewart and Stewart blocked it /easily/. One of the most impressive blocks you'll see all year. I think Stewart's height baits people into trying shit that they SUPER shouldnt.

I adore post-apocalyptic rebirth society stories (Fallout, Horizon), in particular what 'old world' messages persist in the reborn world that the new denizens misinterpret Anyways in 1000 years some society is going to be getting NBA injury updates every 15 minutes and think it was the stock market

Basketball doesn't sleep for Christmas and neither do I! Salt City Hoops is BACK with Christmas thoughts and observations from behind the Jazz bench: youtu.be/SfwN1NrPJUk?... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0ga3... Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

The ESPN-provided superimposed ads on the court are gigantic and extremely obnoxious. Come ON.

The internet is quickly becoming too exhausting of a place for me.

Making the famous Charles Mingus eggnog. Temper the eggs with hot cream; add about fifty gallons of 151 and brandy.

Memphis just challenged an out of bounds call with 16 seconds left and up by 9 points. Let people go home

Jazz are down 2 to the Grizzlies at the half in what is shaping up to be the most forgettable basketball game of the entire NBA season

The Memphis Grizzlies have way too many random dudes on their team

Another disappointment from Jazz/Nuggets last night is they had a soprano sax national anthem and he crushed it, so I was hoping it was a sign that it was a Jazz Night

Lol. Lmao, even

Ha I literally just dropped him because I didn’t think they’d make him available tonight. Now he’ll put up a fabulous line (he’s been a terrific find for New Orleans)

I think Utah might legitimately...start??? Kevin Love today???

She loves me regardless and willingly named our oldest son Donovan

Shoutout to Craig Bolerjack and Thurl Bailey for being enthusiastic voices through a tough Jazz stretch

Nikola Jokic has three blocks tonight and they have ALL been avoidable and obvious. Christmas gift defense from the Jazz

By my count, this is the fourth game in a row that someone has spilled something on Craig Bolerjack when I'm Denver. Tonight: an entire beer went down his back Last time: an entire soda went all over his game notes

The most interesting thing to happen in this Jazz Nuggets game so far from behind the Jazz bench: I learned that Ace Bailey uses smelling salts!

I'm Having A Good Time At The Nuggets - Jazz Game

I'm here.

it opens up a preposterous tax burden on the state's residents for provably scarce relevant benefits good on missouri/KC for not caving

YES

Houston lost in OT against the Pelicans two games ago, then soundly beat Denver on the road, and now lost in OT against the Kings Notable standings-watching for Utah - the Pelicans and Kings have no reason to try and be bad later, so keeping within a stone's throw of their win total is important!
